Does such a thing exist? My dad and I have hunted elk in WY before and enjoyed success with our bows. He's getting older and with the points required to draw hunts I don't know how many opportunities he's going to get. We like to DIY and I am looking for any information some you may have on...

Here's my dads spike My bull Didn't really take any pictures where we were elk hunting, it was thick! We cut all our own meat so when back to camp we debone it into big chunks and vacuum seal it. That way we can store it in coolers with bagged ice and it doesn't get water logged. Top...

I had a buddy text me this morning at 6:30. He said he was surround by elk, some at 25-30yds and didn't know where his release was. To which I responded, "mine spare release is in the top pocket of my pack." Luckily I've never needed it, but have been doing it for about 10 years now after an...

My 69 year old father and I drew our general elk tags this year and are looking at south central WY for the archery hunt. Planning on coming up around labor day and hunting 14 days. In my research I have narrowed it down to several general elk/deer unit combos and looking for some advice on...

I have a 4th season deer hunt coming up in 77/78/771 and was wondering if anyone could share some info on getting crossing permits for the Souther Ute Reservation. We Scouted last year during this hunt and noticed some vehicles parked on the side of the road on tribal land with a card in the...

So after 15 years I finally convinced my dad to get into archery hunting. The lure of being able to go chase deer and elk in WY with a bow and go back with the gun if you are not successful was the kicker. He is 67 and in good shape but has some shoulder issues so went with a Bowtech Carbon...

Heres one from last year, my attempt at doing the scraping method that doesn't cut through And the inspiration for the ram, we saw him from about 1000yds away and had to hike down a finger ridge. We got to where I though he would be and didn't see him so we sat there for a while. I don't know...

We've been checking on some bighorns relocated near our area the last few weekends. I think the game and fish released about 45. They've been spreading out but we have found one nice ram in the area they dropped them in. So it inspired one of our pumpkins this year.

I know that I have no chance of drawing a bull moose tag in the lower 48 since I have no points in either state. So I was looking into the cow tag option. In both states it looks like cow tags are easier to draw. I am looking at areas 38,41 in WY and 7,8,191 in CO. I think I understand WY...

My dad drew a November deer hunt in unit 39. Basically it's south of i-40 from Moriarty to Santa Rosa and then over to Fort Sumner and back west to Willard. I have driven that stretch of interstate quite a bit and don't really ever recall seeing deer, lots of antelope. Curious if anyone has...

If so what was your experience going through the process. Really looking at getting mine for future speculation in the coming gun laws and trying to get ahead of the curve. So my motive is profit not to build my arsenal.

We did good, but hunted extremely hard. The mix of public and private was tough. The folks at the RVpark were great and my son made some new buddies. He can't wait to go back! My Dad got a doe mule deer on private land on the last evening we hunted. We paid the landowner $50 and when we got...

Oct 15th - 21st my family (my Mom/Dad, my wife and 5year old) will be hunting Antelope in Unit 21 and Deer Region Y. We will be staying at the campground in Kaycee and although the my boy tolerates hunting his main goal in life is to fish. Is it correct that youth under 14 don't need a...

Let me thank everyone in advance, I know without tools like these it would be much more difficult and costly to put together DIY hunts, especially out of state. If anyone has any questions regarding NM I will return the favor. My 65 year old dad and I are looking to try our hand in WY. The...
