It's hard to believe that application season is here and plans are already being made for the hunting season! What follows is a look at upcoming state application deadlines, other important tag dates and draw result dates for each Western state. In order to accommodate how people want to view this giant amount of valuable information, this year I have incorporated a new table that allows you to filter out items you want to see.
You can filter out the information in the following tables by using the "search bar" in the tables. So if you only want to see Arizona deadlines, you can type in Arizona and instantly the table will adjust to only display Arizona information. Likewise, if you only want to have the table display draw deadlines, if you type in "draw" it will show you that.
You can also search for "points" and instantly it will show you states that have a separate point only deadline after the main draw. And you can search for "leftover" and it will show you states with a leftover draw and dates when you can pick up a leftover tag. Plus you could search for species as well. Basically, anything in the table can be searched for and filtered to quickly display what you're interested in.
Stink Pigs, as the locals call them, are numerous in West Texas. They are more fun to hunt than should be legally allowed, especially with a bow or vintage-type firearm, as shots tend to be close. Spot and stalk is my favorite way to hunt them, during cool winter weather that inspires the little peccaries to be out and about.
There is a two-pig limit, with the season open year-round. A hunting license is available over the counter. Public land and access are unusual in Texas, so plan on procuring access to private lands. Hunt rocky draws and hillsides, and cactus flats. Make your shot carefully, they are small and tough, and a bit dangerous when wounded. Their hatches are very weather dependent, so only go on a quail foray on years that have had good spring and summer rains.
Be prepared to walk a lot. And run they will. Plan on focusing your efforts on Forest Service or BLM lands, unless you have access to private property. Season dates are usually Sept. Tags can take several years to draw, so start putting in now and be patient. Weather initiates the migration and dictates the best time to hunt each year, so it can be a crap shoot trying to pick the best season to apply for. But whether you are hunting above-timberline early-season bucks or late-season rutting deer on the winter range, your chances of taking the biggest mule deer buck of your life are real.
Why would anyone want to shoot a spike elk? I have several reasons: first, spike elk are tasty. Tags are inexpensive and available over the counter on a first-come, first-served basis, and public land is everywhere. Late in the season, deer will be back on the food sources to recover from the rigors of the rut and build up reserves for the upcoming winter. Take a stand and wait them out. Solid muley bucks certainly exist in South Dakota, and there is abundant public land, relatively light hunting pressure, reliable populations, and decent trophy potential.
The common denominator? The rut gets wild, and mature bucks sometimes forsake all common sense. Watch the wind, but hunt aggressively. Use a silhouette decoy to draw a buck in close. Money-Saver Tip: Tent camping opportunities are available. Nowhere else will you see so many speed goats. Consider accumulating one or more preference points before trying for a tag.
In hot weather, focus on water and alfalfa fields. In late September, deploy a decoy. Money-Saver Tip: Food costs can add up quickly. Save cash by preparing meals at home and freezing them for easy, inexpensive dinners.
Avoid the temptation to go full-Scrooge, and instead invest in durable—yet affordable—gear that will survive your hunt and prove useful on the next dozen to come.
