Will be coming west in about one month to hunt mule deer again. Have heard the weather has been fairly wet in spring and early summer. For those of you living in the area is it still a nice wet summer with plenty of green forage available? We have had to alter our hunting in the past due to very...

After a one year hiatus I have once again applied for a Wyoming mule deer tag. I will be hunting the northern sections of the Bighorn Mtns., Region Y. Just wondering how last winter was on the herd and how this winter has been so far. Hunted there two years ago and numbers were down so we...

Looking at possibly coming to Idaho for the archery elk season. We have been looking at units 56 (1st choice) and 55(2nd choice). Have been told central and southern parts of 56 will be good for elk in Sept. How is the hunting pressure here? It appears to have plenty of good access due to quite...

Hi Everyone, Have returned from my annual Wyoming mule deer hunt in the Bighorns. We hunted Sept. 5th thru 11th. I must say the hunting was decidedly tougher this year. Two issues had to be dealt with; the first few days were very hot and deer numbers seemed to be down a little. Those first few...

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...

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...

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

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...

Just wondering how the winter was in the Bighorns this year? Last year we noticed a considerable drop in deer numbers due to the previous winter.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

Eastmans is reporting significant mule deer winter kill in parts of Wyoming and other nearby states. Does anyone have any winter kill info for the northern Bighorn Mtns. west of Dayton or Sheridan?

I have a couple of questions about Wolf, WY a little town south of Dayton. Is the road leading into Wolf public access? How big is Wolf and are there any services there? Was thinking of exploring the area above Wolf for mule deer. Any info would be helpful. Thanks

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...
