2020 Hunting Success Thread

[buffalobo]

No luck during first rifle. Didn't even seen an elk, just moose and deer. It snowed for about three hours though and the next day we were able to get onto fresh tracks and confirm we were looking in the right spot. I did get a chance to hunt small game for the first time though and that is really fun.

Tasted great!

Sometimes the best part of big game season is small game season.

Grouse is good eating.

Irving, your picture is a cold reminder that hunting is the searching and pursuit part that is not always successful in terms of procuring the quarry. Of course, success comes in many forms and just getting out there is the first and most important. Methinks you might have been jinxed by titling it the "hunting success thread".

I'm prepping for 2nd season rifle where I missed on elk the past two years. My hunting grounds burned in a major forest fire in 2018 and the elk have since used the area differently. Much of it was rendered a moonscape. It will be interesting to see how much the habitat and animals have come back. Hunting for elk #31 & #32. Hope and muster.

I was up in Jackson County for first rifle. The smoke was bad, the hunting was bad, and the snow was cold. Saw more moose then elk. I did get my crosshairs on an elk but couldn't get the shot off before she disappeared back into the dark woods.

I've got a week off before heading out for 2nd rifle deer and Wyoming deer.

Lucky, when it snowed on my hunting trip, it was coming down horizontal due to so much wind. Grouse is very good eating!

The snow was definitely accompanied by wind.

I only saw one buck during muzzle loader.

[Irving]

That's a nice buck.
