With pack on that was day 4 of a 10 day hunt. More bulky than heavy.. Around 80 lbs on the ground.. more heavy than bulky.. about 120 lbs

Ok.. As luck would have it, I applied for an elk area that I didn't get and decided to put in for the mule deer tag in the area. Seems like i got the mule deer tag but didn't get the elk. I am probably going to go in and mule deer hunt the week before 9/15 and then go elk hunt in a general...

My Wife and Sons Elk.... Was a great Season. Both of them were about 2 miles from the nearest road. 100% DIY on Public in Wyoming. Her's was the first day and his was the first Saturday.

I purchased these boots from Cabelas 12 years ago. I have used them alot to say the least. I bought them at their outdoor sale so for 25 bucks so they didn't have original tags. Here is what I know: Says "Made in Italy" on the tag inside. The only other tag is the size. They have a...

I have a question about ram points for residents. I have been buying pref points for my son since he turned 12. He has 3 years now but it occurred to me that this might be for a lost cause. If he moves away and becomes a nonresident does he lose those points.

I have been looking at some light weight alternatives for shelter for 2013 elk hunt. Really leaning towards the MegaTarp by Kifaru. It is a little pricy, but if it lasts a few years I think I can justify it. Has anyone on here had any experience with it? I searched the forum but didn't see...

I have a pair of Cabelas brand boots that I purchased over 10 years ago at a outdoor sale for $25. They are 10" full leather and great. with a vibram soles. they are stamped... Made in Italy. Don't have a clue what they are or who makes them. BEST pair of boots I have ever owned and still...

I am looking at going in country pretty deep in Wyoming NW and would like to take a sat phone for emergency. I have a SPOT but would also like to have a phone. Does anyone have any experience with renting one? I don't want to buy it because I will use it just once a year and then maybe not...

Considering going for Area 61 in Wyoming. I am a resident but live in the South East part of the state and have only hunted in the NW part of the state once last year. Going to go in with a bow. I know the bears are pretty thick up in the area but does anyone have any experience in that...

My son is 13 and I took him out for his second rifle season this year. We woke up and it was 19 outside and snowing in Southeast Wyoming. We drove up into the mountains and had been walking about 1.5 miles before we came upon this guy. If he had been much father away I doubt we would have...

New to elk hunting and while out in the woods I found this. Not sure what it is.

I have googled, binged, and asked ill I am blue in the face. I see Salt it. Don't salt it. freeze it, don't freeze it. just keep it cold. So I am lost and wanted to see what you guys had to say. I will be back in the mountain and may take me 5 days to get to a taxidermist, may take 2 to...

I put this in field photos too but thought I would put here too... I believe it canine and not feline. The part is I am hoping it is coyote and not the bigger cousin. Some thing to note, I found a dead elk calf on Saturday. I went back into the area today (Tuesday). The entire calf was gone...

I believe it canine and not feline. The part is I am hoping it is coyote and not the bigger cousin. Some thing to note, I found a dead elk calf on Saturday. I went back into the area today (Tuesday). The entire calf was gone. No blood, hear or anything. Like it carried off and I...

I have scouting for my son and found plenty of sign and even saw some cow elk and a few small bulls. We were in area 11 (wyoming) at the North End around Arlington. (Thank you to all who have given me some insight as where to go and look). They are a couple of miles off the road in some...
