    Wyoming Success and my son's first Pronghorn

    Since this past Winter I had been tentatively planning a Wyoming antelope hunt with my 13 year old son in Wyoming this Fall. He's an experienced whitetail deer hunter but this would be his first western hunt for big game. My schedule didn't allow for a definitive plan before the drawing...

    Questions on packing meat out of the field

    I'm taking my 13 year old son to Wyoming next month to hunt antelope for the first time (his first time, not mine). It's been 10+ years since I hunted antelope, and the several times I did so, it was never necessary for me to pack them out of the field on my back, I was always able to drive...

    Wyoming "Limited Public Access" Leftover licenses

    I've been planning since last Fall to possibly take my 12 year old son out to Wyoming in October of this year to hunt antelope for the first time (his first time, not mine). Because of the nature of my business, I couldn't commit to the dates that far in advance to justify putting in the...

    Question about scouting trip in late April.....

    Unit 7 Cow Elk - Private or Public?

    New from Ohio

    Been registered here for a few weeks now, although been an Eastman's subscriber for 10+ years. Primarily a bowhunter. Used to do a lot of Western hunting, but a move to a different state and starting a new business has made it difficult for me to get back out there in the last 10 years or so...

    Need Garmin GPS recommendation

    I like the "substantial savings" part. Man, looked at the price of some of these new this afternoon on-line and it was a bit of sticker shock. Any idea if the refurbished ones are still in good shape/quality? I don't mind buying "used".

    Need Garmin GPS recommendation

    I have an old Garmin 12 GPS that has served me well for nearly 20 years, but I am wanting to upgrade to a more modern model that I can use the Wyoming surface ownership chip in to tell what is private and what is public. Haven't shopped for a GPS in ages, can anyone recommend a good color...
