We have been through this before! Please read this riveting article about the Spanish flu in 1918: https://www.wyomingnews.com/news/local_news/kassel-spanish-influenza-epidemic-of-1918-hit-cheyenne-rest-of-state-hard/article_8b5a8ce7-ff2c-548e-9750-5f81cd1d4913.html

My wife of 37 years is a retired public health nurse. And some of it has rubbed off on me :) I am absolutely convinced that shelter in place and social distancing makes a difference. It is the only arrow we have in our quiver until we get a vaccine or treatment. I also believe that if we...

Yes, there are major differences in infection rates around the country. So a strong argument could be made for having different policies in different parts of the country. But we have a very mobile society. So people from a heavily infected area could travel to a less infected area...thus the...

It's not as simple as that. If people decide to crowd together in a business and then disperse to other parts of the community or country, they can take the virus with them. Some reasonable restrictions are necessary to protect the public. And we can't always rely on the individual business...

I decided to cash in my nonresident mule deer preference points. I don't like the new rules that require you to spend so much money just to buy a preference point...so I'm cashing in. Hope the virus thing settles down by October.

Thanks for all the responses about hunting in Africa! We went on a photo safari to Tanzania last April. Maybe I'll go back some day to hunt. I posted a video of the trip on another thread, but here it is again:

We have posted some initial thoughts about the pros and cons to access, wildlife and conservation on our Facebook page. Check it out.

That map shows some of it. Here is a bigger map I got from the Governor's Office. I added borders and labels.

I plan to withhold judgement until I get A LOT more information.

We also have a missing hunter in Wyoming. He is 44 years old and has been missing for two weeks...which does not bode well. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/wyoming/articles/2019-10-28/wyoming-authorities-suspend-search-for-missing-hunter

I used a Panasonic Lumix FZ2500 It takes great video and okay stills.

Due to point creep, and the fact that she's not getting any younger, my wife decided to cash in her preference points for an Area 161 tag. This is not a top tier unit, but we had seen nice bucks there in the past. Watch this video to see how the hunt turned out.

Years ago, the regs for deer hunting in the Black Hills said you could hunt either sex "off national forest" and bucks only "on national forest". We took advantage of that and hunted does on state land located within the boundaries of the national forest. They have now changed the wording to...

We recently returned from a photo safari in Tanzania, and I thought everyone might enjoy a video of our experience. No, we didn't hunt this time...it was a family trip. The scenery and animals were amazing! Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRY20USBj5k

Recently, I attended a bill signing ceremony where Governor Mark Gordon signed the Wyoming Public Lands Day bill into law (see attached picture). The last Saturday in September will be "Wyoming Public Lands Day"! We are the third state to declare a public lands day including Colorado and...

Is there any place in Africa where a person can hunt with a license and not have to pay extra for each animal you shoot? In the U.S., a hunter typically buys a license and when that license is filled he/she does not have to pay for the animal that is shot. From what I have seen of African...

I use dog food coated with powder sugar. Dog food is one of the cheapest baits you can get. And I don't think the type of bait matters much. Bears will eat anything. What's more important are the scents you use around the bait...stuff you spray on the trees and ground. I have been using...

Wyoming legislators are proposing a bill that would give the Game and Fish Commission authority to develop a preference point system for resident deer, elk and antelope. What do you think? I say keep it as it is! https://legiscan.com/WY/bill/HB0042/2019

Recently I got my hands on a copy of "Wild Migrations: Atlas of Wyoming's Ungulates" published by the University of Wyoming and Oregon State University. I was blown away by the comprehensive narrative, the detailed migration charts, the color photos and the potential to influence the future of...

Here's a video of my 2018 Wyoming moose hunt. Didn't get the big one I was hoping for, but we had a good hunt and great time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1kEqyX7_bY
