i am 58 years old ... when i was 18 the Wyo, Idaho %26amp; Montana elk and deer hunts on USFS lands were extraordinary. today the hunting is better on private lands BUT the exotics: Bighorn Sheep, Mountain Goat %26amp; Moose are fantastic where anybody doing a little research on the internet can almost be guaranteed a self guided sheep hunt and get a Boone %26amp; Crockett sheep. if you learn to research university PHd thesis %26amp; Masters papers you can always put in for non-resident areas where if you are successful in drawing the permit you will have an 80% of getting your animal and like i said for sheep and even Montana elk %26amp; deer a Boone %26amp; Crockett rack. if i were 14 today i would 1st go to every state's internet site and find out how much it coasts for a non-resident application for elk, sheep, mountain goat, deer, antelope (easy to get an antelope license but the areas are usually crowded with hunters and the experience is not as great as elk or bighorn sheep hunts) and lastly moose ... and then start building an application fund and applying for neighboring states as well as my own state. in some states like Montana if a man gets a non-resident license for elk his son or daughter under 16 can buy an elk license without worrying about the non-res quota.Any body out there who has good hunting tips?
try your best to stay ';down wind';.. regular human scent can ruin a hunt before you get anywhere near close to game. Try scent blocking clothes or use a urine scent.





Aim for a kill shot... shoot ONLY when you are sure you can hit. Always aim for either the heart or a deep lung puncture. Anything else and the game might get away or survive as a lame animal. Either way, you don't get the animal.





Always carry a secondary weapon for those unexpected moments out in the field. A pistol of some kind or a good knife.





Take a small first aid kit with you. Stupid stuff happens when we least expect it.
