Hunted the Kaycee area this year in 20 and 21. This is my 7th trip to that area. Never seen so few antelope. Even on private ground. Killed a 14" buck and didn't even bother trying to fill my doe tags. Pretty sad honestly.

I posted this interpretation of my turkey hunt gone awry on my blog...thought i'd share it here too ;-) Enjoy my failure! Saving Tom Longspur: The story of how a young policeman saved a turkey on the edge Every spring, thousands of wild turkeys suffer from a condition known as Poultry Anxiety...

the gate was open....actually, it was non-existent. Just a two track going in the back side and a driveway with a cattle guard on the front.

I've hunted Y for the past 6 years and my group has killed a pile of deer. Lots of young deer and LOTS of hunters. If you only have deer tags, id suggest hunting the last week of season. You'll see lots of deer on private and its very difficult to get access to private land. That said, there are...

Well I was pretty much in the same mindset as you guys. My instance was in Wyoming. I posted up and watched the bucks nibble on hay for an hour. The big shooter then walked out the driveway, onto the road, and onto private and bedded at about 250 yards. Never had a shot on him that I was 100%...

Had an interesting circumstance hunting public this year and wanted to get some thoughts. Before you say "ask a game warden" I did already and got 2 similar but different answers. There are several areas I know that have high fenced hay storage on public land. The pic below is not where I...

Hey man! Bummer you didn't fill that tag in 17. 140" or better on public in Y is totally doable, but certainly has its challenges. We've killed some studs in Y the past few years. It's all about getting out of the truck, walking, glassing and staying patient. Realize that in Y there are alot of...

Still pluggin' away on this thing and just realized I haven't updated here in a while! Got all my electric and water hooked up before I started hunting this past fall. Didn't get everything totally finished, but it worked out well because 26 days of living in this thing showed me a few things I...

More than a couple! Congrats on that <1 win! So cool! I was sitting up front with the Blue Moon guys. Pretty fun event. I'm booked with Hurtle Creek for 2021. Found a couple goat guys for 2022 i gotta call some references on too. I talked to Aaron a few times as well and almost booked with...

After ten years in law enforcement getting my butt handed to me physically and mentally, I woke up one day and said "screw this...I'm gonna find a job that lets me hunt alot!" Took a year of working for free as a really good prostaffer for a few hunting manufacturers and I lucked into a great...

Thanks guys!

If it were me, I'd look at Unit 24. I've spent some time there (not hunting) but never had a problem finding decent elk. 12 points was 59% odds in the regular and 100% in the special. Shoot me a message if you want to talk about this one. Good luck! Also be sure to go to the new members section...

Thanks for the feedback! You think 2-3 days is plenty to fill a goat tag with a decent buck?

Busy year for me but I'm getting pretty good at turning work trips into hunting trips :p March- Javelina in TX June- New Brunswick bear September- Maryland sika, OH/KY deer October- Wyoming antelope and deer with some first timers This entire year is going to warm up, testing, and practice for...

Looking at burning my points and drawing 75 in the special draw. I've scouted the unit and liked what I saw. Does anyone have experience hunting this unit? My only concern is I will be hunting the very last 3-5 days of season. if its how it was in '19 I'll be working in Wyoming and that's the...

I won't be working a booth, but will be working the floor a little and have a few meetings with outfitters and dealers I work with. Planning on booking a Dall hunt for '22 or '23. Gonna interview about every outfitter there haha. uh, and pizza....im in!!!

Anyone on here going to the Sheep Show this year? This will be my first time attending. Although its technically a "work" trip, I'll have some free time to do some advanced scouting for my sheep hunt ;-). Any suggestions on the "must attend" events or things to do? We plan on attending the <1...

Ohio, for all its wildlife management shortcomings (another topic) has a great system in place for youth hunters. Youth, or any new hunters, can hunt under an apprentice license. This requires them to be supervised by a licensed, hunter ed certified hunter without taking the course themselves...

Reviving this thread!! Here's my 2019 Ohio archery buck. Grossed 162 2/8"

This is a tough topic and I doubt any two of us would give the exact same answer. I've had the privilege to take kids hunting since I was in my mid-teens. 20 years later, I can say I've taken kids every single year. There is such a huge variable in each kid. Some are ready at 4 or 5 and others...
