Hold onto your shorts for this one. Points for deer, pronghorn, and elk are going up to $75 https://wgfd.wyo.gov/news-events/commissioners-vote-increase-non-resident-preference-point-prices

Kamas is just a hard unit to hunt. The cover is very thick and the deer are usually found away from the roads so hiking in a ways is involved. A lot of the area towards the southern boundary is developed and is off limits to hunters who don't have access to private. The last time I hunted it...

A lot could have to do with the unit. A unit that depends on the migration may be real good if you hit it right, or hit it wrong and you might not see a thing. I was down in the Abajo Mountains a number of years ago and the migration was done and over with by the time that the general season...

It's just that parents let their kids do stupid things even when they are suppose to be in control. But this is a good reason for hunters education that I thought that every state requires. Perhaps not, but still 3 years old is way too young.

I was shooting a 22 when I was 4 or 5, I remember shooting it at least when I was 5. I shot my first big game rifle right after my uncle gave it to me on my 5th birthday. It was so eventful that I remember sitting on my dads lap with the rifles barrel out the window, but not much after that. I...

I'm all for the mentoring programs that states have but this one is stretching it a little bit too far.

After a dozen years I have finally gotten rid of most of the gear that I didn't use. Anymore I can pack for just about any hunt that I want to do and that includes the gear for my creature comforts. It's still funny that I'll find a box out in the garage with stuff that I thought that I would...

I'd do some scouting on Google Earth and look for stock watering tanks or basins along side or just off of roads

When the BLM headquarters was moved to Grand Junction Colorado I didn't notice a thing, but I have no idea if Biden moved them back to DC.

I doubt it, they are still a bunch of bureaucrats that think that their way is better. We have one near me that hates ATV's and loves bikes, including E bikes. He loves shutting down roads and turning them into bike trails.

A 50 lb bow isn't too bad for a adult, think about your compound and what the draw weight of it is before the cams roll over. If you can you can even set up a compound to where it is only a 30% let off or perhaps even less. Then head down to a archery shop and see what they have on hand and...

Have you ever shot a recurve? It can be eye opening for someone used to a compound. The draw and release is almost all in one. It takes some practice to get onto the target pull and release at the same time, especially if you are drawing a heaver bow. I used a homemade one that came in...

I'd love to be able to call my representatives but they are next to worthless. I can't even get them to return a email.

I don't know why but I picked up another elk and pronghorn point here in Colorado and put in for my muzzle loader deer tag that I should draw. I'll have 15 pronghorn points going into next years draw so I need to figure out where I want to go hunt them here in Colorado. I'll wait for the left...

We've been hunting them for over 30 years and in all that time we have only had one that you couldn't eat. It was shot during the rifle hunt and it was hot and it took a while to find it and like all meat the longer that it sits in the heat the worse it gets. Like game meat you need to take...
