    Something more to ponder during application periods

    Non-residents will now get all of the tags they are entitled to. Before, there were elk tags that should have gone to NR's but didn't.

    Anyone ever done a "safari-style" hunt in Wyoming?

    You can do it. I took my kid on a camping/hunting trip for her birthday this year. We harvested an elk, an antelope, a duck, and two trout in two days. Her favorite part was eating the antelope tenderloins on the tailgate immediately after the harvest with some of her friends (my hunting buddy's...

    Walk In Areas

    The biggest bull I've ever seen on the hoof was in a WIA during elk season. Unfortunately, I didn't have a tag.

    Walk In Areas

    No. Some do, but not all.

    Just a bull snake

    I was once fishing in an area known to have a lot of rattlesnakes. As I was walking to a fishing spot, I stepped on a very large snake. My first though was "rattlesnake" and is scared the schitte out of me until I realized it was a bull snake, still the biggest snake I've ever seen.

    Rattle snake avoidance training

    Holy smokes! That exageration makes me wonder if that post was made jokingly. This weekend I was with a dog who got bit on the nose by a rattler. Fortunately, the snake did not inject venom. We killed the snake, and I brought my dogs (separately) into the scent cone of the snake a few feet...

    Hunting Partner Dilemma

    Here's my situtation: I had arranged to be a resident guide for a non-resident into the wilderness area in WY elk area 98. I have a limited quota tag for the area, and the rifle season starts September 20. I haven't heard from him since late May so it's getting more likely, in my mind, I'll...

    Deer Area 138

    I'm curious to know if anyone has any experience in this unit. Just in case my current hunting partner backs out, I'm trying to talk some friends into coming with me on my elk hunt in 98 which happens to coincide with general deer season. I'm using the fact that they can hunt deer as incentive...

    Sheep Mountain (Elk 9/Deer76

    I'm from Laramie and have spent a lot of time fishing in the Snowies, but I've never hunted there. I've hiked the length of Sheep Mountain and think it would be a really fun (but really tough) hunt, but I've never seen elk or deer on public land there, not even sign. Has anyone had recent...

    New Member from Wyoming

    Greetings from SE Wyoming. I'm a fairly new hunter (started in 2014), but hunting was a desire of mine from early childhood. Now that I have my own kids, I decided to get off my butt and do it for their sake, as well as my own.
