Elk hunting - 07/31/25 06:01 PM
Our Elk area here opens Aug. 1 now. It is way too hot to even think about hunting so will wait till it cools off some. Could get a nice bull in the velvet if a person wants one.

Looks like I am going to get to go elk hunting again. With my legs getting severly weak and withered, one of the effects of kidney failure. I got my permit to for disabled to hunt from the vehicle and an old friend said I can get on the place he care takes. Have stands set up so I can get a nice clean close shot with my long bow, can't draw my compound any more from having them cut the musles during one of the many surgeries I had. That really is a blessing, road hunting here is packed with folks come hunting season

In Nevada antelope starts Aug 1 , deer the 10th and it varies on elk but i think there are some Aug 1 dates for cows and bulls start a little later.

I am going to head over to WY to do some fishing the second week of September (after the big 3 day weekend).
going to use my 'free' fishing license and scout for some elk at the same time in unit 40. Just looking for a cow this year but hope to draw a bull tag next year if the points creep ever stops long enough for me to get a tag.
Plan on hitting the North Tongue, (thanks for the suggestion) and any good spots to camp or fish in the area is always appreciated.

We have some cooler weather coming for later in the weekend, with a cooler to hang one in you might have decent weather to hunt crowheart.
Our cow season opens Aug 15, usually too hot then as well, might give it a go in Sept though for a cow.

No elk this year this year for me I was invited to tag along on a couple WY antelope hunts with a couple guys that drew tags and bird hunt but the wife has a family thing so I get the dogs to watch.
