2025 Plans

[Outdoor Enthusiast]

So what's everyone's 2025 plans for hunting out west in 2025?

I am planning to collect some PP and probably do an OTC hunt in CO. May try chasing some muleys too in CO.

WY for pronghorn, elk and mule deer and all the grouse I can find. Probably get my Colorado points. ND for pheasant. Helps I'm a Wyoming resident.

Hopefully mule deer in Colorado with my son if we draw tags

I'm zeroed out on elk points in Montana from 2023. I didn't buy a point this year and gambled on the 25% allocated tags for zero points. I do have an antelope point, but probably will just buy another and an elk point for 2026.

Mid may prairie dogs in South Dakota. Then if lucky enough to draw a pronghorn tag will be headed to Wyoming in the fall

I'll be throwing out a hail Mary on some hunts with low draw odds, but I haven't fully committed to what I want to do this year. My wife keeps asking when I'm going to hunt Columbian Blacktails and finish my deer slam, so I'm kind of leaning that direction, but I've also got a bunch of mule deer points in Wyoming that are burning a hole in my pocket and want used.

All I can say apply and go if you can guys.
I may finally burn my 15 Wyoming elk points unless I get lucky again in NM or AZ for elk. Probably helping on CO first season elk. Will throw darts at the wall for everything in 9 states in west. Idaho, MT, Maine, NH moose draws - I just want one dang moose in the lower 48. Getting close to a Az late deer tag for the Kaibab. Wyoming elk is due Jan 31 - apply for a hunt even if you have just a couple points. You might get a random draw !!

Sitting on 18 points in Nevada. Greg Krogh says he has one tied up.......................

I'll continue to waste $ and accumulate points in AZ, UT, MT, SD, CO, IA, NV.

Myself, wife and daughter will be putting in for top end WY deer n elk units and mid tier pronghorn units. Most likely I'll be buying general deer n elk tags for me. This summer I'm starting my life long quest to hunt and kill a 200" high country muley ( I mean, what else am I gonna do ).
This spring I'm also applying for bear bait sites in WY. Not sure if it's my thing or not but I'm gonna give it a go.

Two of my grandsons, a buddy & I are using our 15 WY elk points this year. If drawn, then I'm going burn my 14 antelope points too. May just move in with @AT Hiker for a month or so.

Sounds like @AT Hiker is tndeer's resident host and guide in WY. Maybe I should have taken him a couple shoulder mounts back in the day.
