    Broken Stuff

    Good score on the freezer Jim. I looked at replacing mine a couple years ago when I had two elk tags. I can check to freezer daily when I am home, but hate to risk losing everything if the 36 year old unit were to crap out while we are gone. I have had some bad experiences with some of the...

    Wyoming taxidermist

    You guys got it right...since antelope aren't cervids, CWD is not a concern and their import is not banned in MN. Also, I got the updated rules from the MN DNR and the taxidermist that cervid intact skulls may be brought into the state as long as they are brought to a taxidermist within 48...

    Thanks everyone for the input. I will check with my local taxi about the antelope rules.

    Wyoming taxidermist

    Any recommendations on an eastern Wyoming taxidermist. Two of us will be hunting south of Tensleep for antelope, and we are not allowed to being intact skulls back to MN. I have a good antelope mount already, and don't plan on another one, but my partner would like to get a shoulder mount...

    Who else is...

    I just returned from my 9 day canoe trip in the Quetico Wilderness of Ontario. 113 miles of paddling and portaging. OOF DAH!!! This trip was very difficult for me, and I think that it may well be my last one. I am in good shape and did about as much prep as possible, but the years are...

    Who else is...

    I've picked up the pace after returning home a couple weeks ago, and was able to shed the few pounds that I gained while traveling. The AM exercises and hour in the kayak, followed by getting chores done have prepped me pretty well for the upcoming canoe trip. I almost screwed it all up...

    High Mountain Lake Trout

    Nice lakers Slugz. I've caught a lot of them out of a canoe on Siskowet Lake on Isle Royale National Park. Folks who say that they don't give you much of a fight have never caught them out of a small boat using light tackle. Fine dining too. Is that a Pak boat?

    I have been walking quite a bit while visiting my wife's relatives in Washington state. Back home, the catch-up chores have kept me busy, but am still making time for a regular routine of morning exercises. I am guiding a 10 day canoe trip in Ontario's Quetico wilderness at the end of the...

    Draw Results

    WY had the elk draw results posted at 5:30am (CST) on the stated release date (May 15th), so my guess is that they will follow suit for the deer/antelope draw on June 18th. Don't tell my wife, but I delayed a family trip so that I can get the results before we leave.

    Draw Results

    TIC TIC....TIC....TIC. I should be on board for an antelope tag, but I have been in the "sure to draw" column a number of times in the past and ended up butt bit. So, good luck to all, and to me also.

    Big Whitetail From Illinois in Basement over 30YRS

    Odd timing, but my sister just called me from So. Carolina asking if I wanted a Boone & Crocket white-tail rack. A widowed friend of hers has inherited it after the family member who had it in his basement for years had passed on. I was offered the rack because no one else wanted it. Family...

    Who else is...

    Hey there Marcus. I should have a couple hunts in WY this year, and am only waiting on the antelope draw next week. I just returned from a fly-in fishing trip out of Armstrong Ontario, and though we had mostly crappy weather all week, the fishing for northerns and walleyes was off the charts...

    Wy general elk tag

    I used my points to full effect in 2022, so after buying a point this year will be chasing the dog's tail with 2 points. Fortunately, my hunting partner will have 8 pts. going into next years draw, giving us a 5 avg. The NR GEN area W was 100% with 5 pts., so barring too big a jump, we may...

    Elk Results

    Tick, Tick, Tick. I much preferred it when the results were out in Feb. It allowed for other options/applications in other states. But, I have to say that this later drawing makes much more sense from a management perspective. I'm only in for a type 6 (cow/calf) tag. I may get one more GEN...
