    Mulies in the northern Bighorns

    Have drawn a mule deer tag again for the northern Bighorns. Just wondering how the summer moisture has been. Last year when I was there everything was burned brown from the drought and the deer weren't feeding much in the open but were sticking to the timber where there still was green...

    Mule deer success in Wyoming, Pics

    Just returned from the Bighorns, had a wonderful trip like usual. Shot this 5x5 the second day. I got a little greedy as I passed up a 4x4 to get a shot at this buck, he was trailing the 4x4 by about 25 yards. He went about 80 yds. blood pouring out both sides. The heart was untouched so I must...

    Any rainfall in northern Bighorns?

    Does anyone know what the precipitation has been like in the northern Bighorns? Is it dry as a bone or have they gotten some moisture? Any fires in the area? Will be mule deer hunting there in about three weeks. Kind of wondering what to expect. Thanks

    Are licenses in the mail?

    I checked the website and know I was successful in drawing a mule deer tag, this was about three weeks ago. I still haven't received the hard copy in the mail from Wyoming G&F. In the past it always seemed we got them pretty quickly after the draw results were posted. Does anyone know when they...

    Colorado elk unit 17?

    I and a friend are considering an elk hunt in Unit 17 south of Walden, near Rand. Anyone care to comment on elk numbers and hunter numbers for the first two weeks of the early archery season. We would want to bowhunt before the muzzleloader season. Don't mind backpacking in if that would...

    Wyoming elk unit #67?

    Anyone familiar with elk unit #67 just north of Dubois? I hunted there about 10 years ago with an outfitter in the wilderness area. Want to do DIY this time, but of course can't go into the wilderness as a nonresident. Are there good elk numbers outside of the wilderness areas? This would...

    Success in the Bighorns

    Thought I'd post a of couple of pics of my hunting buddy and myself with the mule deer bucks we harvested about two weeks ago. Like everyone says, lots of other hunters and ATVers all over the place. By hiking in you can usually get away from the crowds. One thing we did notice this year was the...

    Southwest of Cody info?

    Anyone familiar with the west slope of Carter Mountain southwest of Cody, near Valley? Am considering this area for a future backpack bowhunt for mule deer. Have a couple of drainages in mind and am wondering if this area generally holds good mule deer numbers? How about elk. I'll assume this is...

    My 5x5 whitetail from 2010

    Took this big 5x5 as he was trailing a doe on Nov. 6th. Apparently he was a fighter as he has several tines and the main beams broken off short.

    Bowhunting Region Y,...HELP

    We've been bowhunting Unit 25 right around Burgess Junction for 5 years and have had success...but it's definitely not a back country adventure. Tons of other people, ATVs, and general commotion to lessen the outdoor experience. Anybody care to share other areas in Region Y where one might still...
