Good luck to your daughter. Here's my girls

I have two girls myself that are now in their twenties. I bought my oldest daughter a 270 WBY MAG Ultra Lightweight with an accubrake when she was 12 years old. She shot a cow elk, a 7x8 bull elk and an antelope her first year and never complained about recoil then or since (she's now 27). She...

This is western WY (Alpine) today. We really didn't get a crazy amount of snow this year but it's just not melting, so it's a alot for April. Mostly just elk and moose stay here year around. Mountain goats pretty much died off a few years ago. I haven't heard anything about the sheep this...

Here's some of WG&F's report from March 6 for the area H is in and it's still snowing. JACKSON/PINEDALE REGIONS These regions experienced an early onset of winter beginning in late October with about average snowfall to date in the mountains, but above-average snow levels on lower-elevation...

Nonresidents will have to wait 7 days after the shed opener for residents and will also need to buy a WY Conservation Stamp. The effected area is public lands west of the continental divide.

JD, I have a 257 and love it but if you're hunting sheep don't "F" around. Pull out the 300 WBY and don't look back. IMO the 300 WBY is the best all around caliber ever made (and I don't even own one).

For what it's worth I'm a fan of Weatherby and Nosler partitions. I have a 257 WBY Vanguard that shoots the little Accubonds really well. I have a 340 WBY Alaskan Mark V that hates Accubonds but loves partitions. My 270 WBY ULWT Mark V loves Barnes TSX. It shoots partitions okay but not as good...

In 1993 I spent 30 days on the mountain hunting sheep with a rifle with no success so I would definitely recommend a bow.

Be careful if your'e hunting on the Peace, that river scares me.

Here's my Dad's moose and my 1st moose from a couple different areas bordering 24. Good luck with your hunt, moose hunting is fun! Been lucky enough to have been on 8 Shiras hunts with my family and friends.

Never hunted 24 but lived in the middle of 20 for a couple decades and would kind of agree with those locals. The moose will show up in late Sep-Oct. I never saw many moose until then, the reason being that they don't come out of the dark timber until it starts cooling down. When it was good (20...

Congrats on your buck, it sounds like you found a good one. Generally speaking the deer in WY are small bodied and not too big in the rack but there's always exceptions. Many of he deer out here get a chance grow to their full potential as most western hunters will pass on the little ones...

It's not moose. I'd say it's a cat toilet.

Like JimP I also have a brake on my 340 WBY and usually (not always) use it when sighting in, practice etc., but never while hunting. My wife has shot a bunch of animals with my 340 and has never, never, never felt the recoil, nor have I. So I think recoil when hunting is a non-issue. Unless...

As I'm sure you know, it'll only get better as the weather cools down. I've been fortunate to go on 8 WY moose hunts (me twice, wife, dad, brother, etc.) and it seems like the 1st week of Oct. is the sweet spot. Good luck to your wife.
