    Son's first deer!

    My son Terin loves to hunt more than any other activity. He recently told me he would toss all of his games, toys, and whatever else if he could go on a deer hunt. So of course Santa delivered a new pair of binoculars, some other hunting gear, and his first ever deer permit. He was very...

    Gun Safe moving

    Any advice on how to move a gun safe across about 75 feet of lawn/frozen dirt and then through a privacy fence gate and into a set of french doors? I have a 48 gun safe in a garage that I want to move to an out building and have no idea how it should be done without killing one of my buddies...

    Sad reminder to always put safety first

    https://www.wowt.com/content/news/Father-killed-in-hunting-accident-500238462.html Several safety rules that were violated here. I figured posting this would hopefully serve as a reminder to someone out there to hopefully avoid a terrible accident in the future.

    WTB used left hand bow

    I'm trying to help get a young guy started into bow hunting but really don't want to pay for a new setup. He is 6' tall so will need an adult model. Anyone have one they are willing to part with?

    New Fire in SE Wyoming

    Any of you planning to hunt Wyoming elk area 110 / deer area 78 should monitor this fire. It started in a bad spot in my opinion. It has the potential to get big quick with the windy dry forecast. http://kdvr.com/2018/06/11/wildfire-forces-evacuations-along-wyoming-colorado-border/

    WTB- Used Range Finder

    I have a buddy on a tight budget looking for a cheap range finder. He is just getting started into hunting (my fault). He has a wife, 3 kids, and very little free money to throw at anything other than bills. Anyone have one that still works ok they would be willing to sell cheap?

    Nebraska takes a tough stance against poachers!

    This makes me happy- wish more states took poaching this seriously. http://magazine.outdoornebraska.gov/2018/04/increased-liquidated-damages-for-game-law-violations/

    Another tom down... and some good fishing

    Had a buddy out from Wyoming for a 3 day turkey hunt. This tom went down 20 minutes into the hunt so we had plenty of time to fish. Fun weekend.

    If anyone is looking for a wall tent, Davis is running a decent sale right now. https://www.davistent.com/ I use the 12x14 and love it. It sets up in about 30 minutes with 2 guys or about 45 minutes with one person.

    2018 Youth Turkey

    My little guy had another great hunt this year. We skipped opening weekend since we had record low temps and snow. The upcoming weekend forecast looked bad as well so I decided to pull him out of school for an afternoon hunt yesterday. It went well... My strutting tom decoy needs a new fan...

    Wyoming non-resident moose

    Just curious how many guys on here applied for Wyoming moose. I have talked to quite a few that decided not to apply this year since the tags went up. I threw my name in the hat for area 38... someone has to draw the random I guess. I'm hoping for a few less applicants to compete with.

    Helping our new hunters

    Every late season I try to take a couple new hunters out for their first deer. This year was tough with the super cold temps but I did help a couple guys with their firsts. I thought I would share a pic from last night of a guy with his first doe deer. He has the bug... It's so much fun to...

    Wisconsin Salmon Fishing

    Had a blast Wednesday battling King Salmon in Wisconsin. Had to go up there for a work trip so thought I would try again this fall. I fished there last fall but missed the run by a couple weeks. I hit it perfect this year... what a time. I released or lost most of the fish but did keep my 5...
