    Tag quotas

    Does CO make the upcoming season's ('14 in this case) quota available prior to the draws? I'm wondering about figuring odds on a unit, but the count has been decreasing the last few years.

    MT elk tag help

    I'm new to the MT game and need some help understanding how it works. If you are not drawn for a limited quota tag can you return your combo tag, or are you stuck with a hunt you may not want? If you can return it do they refund all your money? What about cow tags. Here's what I'd like to...

    Bino Protective Cover

    I have a chest harness and would like something to protect the my binos from dirt and debris. What does everyone like and dislike about theirs? I came across the CrossTac brand and they seemed like a compact/tite fit. I think I want something that actually covers the entire binocular.

    Steiner vs Vortex

    Okay, so I've got a pair of Steiner Predator Pros on the way. Close to 10 years ago I purchased some Burris compacts. I sent them in just hoping for something since they weren't working. That model is discontinued and could not be repaired, so they are sending me the Steiners in 8x22 as they...

    Unit 89 Deer and 72/69 Antelope

    I am looking at 89 as I know it's a better limited quota unit for deer. I plan to build points for a few years to hunt it though. I would like to antelope hunt in the area and get to know it for deer in the future. I just realized today that the Rattlesnake HMA is just for elk, so I'm...

    Point Structure and Youth Licenses

    I have 2 questions for everyone. 1) Why does the state of WY make you apply for a hard-to-draw unit if you don't really want to hunt it just so you can hunt somewhere without using your points. It seems to me they are unnecessarily forcing the draw odds down is some units from people who don't...

    Public land whitetail

    I know he's not the biggest in the world, but I may be most proud of this guy of all the animals I've killed due to the circumstances. I lost a buck during archery season in KS and was hunting the rifle portion last week. Most of the public land around me is old strip coal mines. The land is...

    East vs West side of Bighorns for elk

    My research for WY elk units is starting to point me north. It's obvious the units are divided among the E and W sides of the mountains. Does anyone have thoughts on which side/units are tops? Eastmans does not rate the E units in the General draw very high. It looks like areas 38 and 40 on...

    Locking Diopter on Binos?

    I am in the market for some new binos and am curious about everyone's experience with the diopter adjustment. On a recent hunt I borrowed some Nikon Monarchs, which had pretty good glass but I was constantly having to re-adjust the diopter on them. It always wanted to move when sitting against...

    Bad First WY Experience

    I returned last week from my first trip to WY. We went to hunt unit 25 for antelope. Believe it or not we had 6 goat tags and did not fill any of them! Unfortunately, there was no accessible public land. I know that Eastmans warns about this type of situation which is why we tried to do as...

    North of Casper and Douglas

    Going up to hunt goats in Unit 25 for the first time this year. We will probably have one member with a deer tag. Are the deer in this area located in the desert or the hills to the north end of the unit? On google earth it looks like there's a little bit of elevation at the north end of the...

    ATVs ???

    I've been trying to call the Game & Fish all day to get details but the message says they're all busy and to call back later. So, this ought to be easy enough for someone to help me with. What are the rules for using ATVs on public land. We're hunting WY public ground for the first time this...

    New to WY Elk

    Okay guys, I need some coaching here. My group as gone to CO for years and we're finally burnt out on the crowds, skittish animals, and lack of quality. For a guy who doesn't use a guide or access private ground it's really tough. We bought our first points this summer. I'm looking for a...

    Bog Pod for Spotting Scope

    I did the same as NDHunter suggested and purchased the Nikon Prostaff this week from Cabelas since they put it on sale. I am now looking for a tripod for the scope, and I like the idea of the Bog Pod since I need shooting sticks for varmint/predator hunting as well. Has anyone used this tripod...
