We checked our bear baits yesterday and had a picture of this big guy. Now to figure out how to get him. Here is a daylight picture after he tipped over the bait box:

I got my bear rug back from the taxidermist today. Took almost a year. The bear was shot June 5th of last year. Here is a video of the hunt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjfG_7-pi2A

I would rather shoot a smaller bull DIY than a big bull with a guide. My wife shot this 330 bull DIY last October. Would have scored higher if he was wider. She is very proud of it.

We plan to set out baits again this spring in Wyoming. We've done it for several years now and feel like we are starting to learn the ropes. I use dog food covered with powdered sugar. But I don't think the type of bait matters much. Bears will eat anything. The scent you use is more...

As you may have heard, a handful of Wyoming legislators are proposing a Public Lands Constitutional Amendment that would pave the way for federal land transfer sometime in the future. They first proposed the amendment at a committee meeting in Riverton on November 9th. Nearly 100 citizens voiced...

I have posted some of this information in the "Wyoming" section, but since Wyoming's federal lands belong to all Americans it is worth posting here as well. Seven misguided members of the Wyoming Legislature are proposing an amendment to the Wyoming Constitution that would pave the way for...

RALLY IN CASPER! A group of Wyoming outdoor organizations has organized a rally against federal land transfer in Casper on November 5th. The timing of the rally is good, because it is just prior to a legislative committee meeting in Riverton on November 9th. The purpose of the November 9th...

I posted previously that my wife drew a Unit 201 elk tag with 26 preference points. We recently returned from the hunt. Here is a short video describing our incredible experience! Enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOMsKC2F80Q

As indicated earlier, I have been putting together a short video of my recent sheep hunt. Here it is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfxBI7kuZKY

Fortunately most of the bears were far off. We did get a picture of this one close up: In my opinion, we are approaching a huntable population in NW Wyoming. Don't know if it will ever happen...but would like to see a limited season.

Sheep hunt followup! After six days of hunting and frustration, I tagged a medium size ram. It was a back country hunt that was TOUGH on my 68 year old body. Besides getting a sheep, one of the highlights of the hunt was seeing 16 grizzlies in one day! Am planning on putting together a video...

We have launched a new facebook page entitled: Wyoming Sportsmen for Federal Lands. We intend to take the fight against federal land transfer directly to the people of Wyoming, especially the sportsmen. Yesterday's post about legislators being unhappy with our efforts was viewed by more than...

My wife recently drew a nonresident elk tag for unit 201 with 26 preference points. We just returned from a 5 day scouting trip. Here is what we learned. The elk, deer and antelope population appears to be in good shape. Last spring, there were reports of winter kill in Northern Colorado. I...

A group of us recently held an event in Cheyenne. We gave out free bumper stickers and have some leftover. If you would like one or two to display on your vehicle, please PM me with your name and address (limit two please). Your bumper sticker(s) will arrive in your mail box in a couple of...

Here is a picture of the Beaver Creek fire taken from the top of the Snowy Range in Wyoming looking southwest into Colorado (July 10, 2016). Fire is about 50 miles away. So far, it is moving east and staying in Colorado but is only a couple of miles from the Wyoming border.

Here is a picture of hail protection I built over some potatoes:

After three fall hunts and two spring hunts, I finally got a DIY Wyoming black bear! At age 67, I was beginning to wonder if it was ever going to happen. The mountains are getting taller every year. A special thanks to my wife. She is an outstanding hunting partner and did a good job of...

I have been getting a lot of trail camera photos at my bear baits this spring. Here is one of my favorites.
