    Wyoming Antelope

    Completely up to you but, in my opinion, there are others ways to get him out hunting without sacrificing almost a decade of preference points. If he has never hunted, I don't believe he would appreciate that kind of hunt like he would after being on a few other hunts. That said, it's a...

    Wolf Kills Calf in Grand County

    75 cent bullet vs 100k plus to hire multiple range riders. Seems like an easy decision.

    New Bows???

    My bow is a 2008 model. It still shoots a 425 grain arrow 311 FPS. Not sure what a new bow can provide me?? Guessing some forgiveness maybe but I would hate to spend 1k+ on a little comfort that in the end doesn't kill any better than my current one.

    Proposal WY G&F Unlimited Elk Tags

    They struggle to sell all the cow tags in those areas as it is. The few guys with access may shoot an extra elk or two but in general this is a feel good measure that doesn't address the real issue imo. How many people really want more than 2 elk a year? Maybe a few guys like wytex and Buzz...

    Draw Process Working Group Recommendations on Primary Draw Methods & Preference Points

    I don't think there is a good answer that satisfies everyone. All sates should make sure residents have a way to hunt yearly. Residents have to be the priority but I do think that western states should be mindful of the message they send to non-residents while they take care of their...

    Purchased a New Hoyt RX8

    I haven't let myself shoot one yet but I hear they are nice. I'm still shooting a 2008 model bow. I'm at 311 FPS with a 425 grain arrow. Not seeing any new ones beating that but I know a new one would be a lot more forgiving. Maybe this year..

    What’s Everyone Doing?

    Update - I now plan to spend the rest of the month digging out from a recent storm. My neighbors- Hwy that goes by our little town. Down to one lane of 20 mph. Normally a 65mph great highway. Snow shovel fuel. Glad I have full freezers. Grocery store shelves are pretty bare with all...

    What’s Everyone Doing?

    Hunting upland and small game between snow storms. Finishing up this falls processing. Need to slow my kid down a little- he is sure keeping the freezer full. Will ramp up umpire training clinics in 2 weeks, then transition into umpiring. 87 games last season while my son did 30. we should...

    I'll wait until January 31st. No reason to let them have my money any longer than they already hold it.

    Wolves

    Doing a little research this morning. Since they classified these under 10j (experimental reintroduction), they are essentially saying the wolves near Walden are not enough to consider a population. There is evidence there are or were more than the 2 males they say live near Walden but I now...

    Antelope Breakfast Sausage

    I went through that with 2 teenage boys in the house. I think our highest year, we went through about 80lbs of breakfast sausage. They loved their breakfast... we are at about 25lbs a year now with just 3 of us. One half pound pack a week give or take.

    Antelope Breakfast Sausage

    The salt free thing is really a bummer. I have so many good recipes that my Dr is telling me I shouldn't eat now. Frustrating. I'll post what I come up with- going to be making some in the next week.

    General Elk

    The special tag increased to just over 2k with the credit card fee. Not sure on the %. 50/50 was discussed but not sure if that part went through?
