I feel bad for taking so long to post this! My new job in the outdoor industry somehow takes way too much time away from important things like hunting and writing! [emoji12] I was able to sneak away for another epic trip to the Cowboy state though.... Back in the spring I hosted my first...

Soooo.....I made a mistake and drew a leftover tag I didn't mean to. Area 164 Type 6 deer. The dates for rifle season are after I had planned my hunt date. Where can I find the dates for doe/fawn archery? Is there such a beast? I'm perfectly content donating the 40 bucks to Wyoming if not...

here's an example. Although this particular spot (where I killed my 2017 Mule Deer) doesn't show much change, you can tell the difference in image. Its a nice tool to compare. This spot is one I located and identified from GE scouting as an area I thought guys would drive past and never drop...

Hey guys, Anyone ever hunted 202? (General Elk Archery) I've found some ok looking areas on google earth but I'm green as can be to elk. If anyone could provide some insight, I'd greatly appreciate it. I've hunted mules in elk country before but I was never as steep as what I'm seeing in...

I smoke the legs/thighs and then debone them. My wife puts in in casseroles and such. with the breast....we make White chili. this is a recipe from my wife's blog... Ingredients: -1/4 cup olive oil - 1 onion, diced - 1 turkey breast - 3/4 tablespoon cumin - 3/4 tablespoon chili powder - 1 clove...

2 years in a row killing a bird with my boy watching (and wife this time too). We had 3 toms at 20 yards and another at 100 gobbling their noggins off for 5 minutes.

Back in January, I started my first real job (after 10 years of being a cop :p ). The coolest thing about working in the hunting industry now is I get to travel and share my love of hunting. This year, my new employer let me hold a free seminar for first time western hunters. We capped the group...

Planning my first elk hunt has me feeling like a total rookie hunter again. I have 3 points. I can either draw a general tag or put in the special and draw a unit that ive deer hunted twice and seen elk. I didnt elk hunt it, but at least id know where to start. Im fortunate to have a new job...

This is my first year where I'll be in the pp draw. I think I can draw the unit I want in the special pp draw. However, I was going to put general as my second choice. If I draw my second choice, will I still lose my points? Im only playing with 3 points but I still dont want to burn em on a...

I'm a little late in posting this story, but hopefully it'll help someone next year! Back in August, I took my wife and 2 year old son to Wyoming on a short scouting trip/ family vacation That story is here...

The bison train ride was pretty cool. Super touristy but fun...I mean C'mon, feeding buffalo is cool! And find a random place on the map on the way home to camp to avoid a hotel! Who knew Nebraska had beaches? (Ogallala Beach Campground $18 per night) Be prepared to pack wayyyyy more...

Reed eats like a champ. Campfire taters might be his new favorite food. Of course, we wouldn't be camping without Mountain House! Even if it is only an ice cream sandwich. And yeah...he hijacked my camo too. A second morning of scouting again found over 30 bucks. I'm guessing I saw close...

I found this freaky buck. HE's probably gonna catch a round if I can't find the big guys after a few days. I saw him every day in a small patch of public. As long as an archery hunter doesn't find him, I don't think he will move. This large bachelor group had between 9-13 bucks in it...

Rewinding just a little- after arriving in the unit, I again went to a spot I found on OnX/Google and pitched camp. This was more of a back country style camp. A little more rugged and rough, but we had an incredible view. We got pounded by rain the first night, so I made us a little extra...

The next day, we stayed in Buffalo. I planned this day to give Reed and my wife a break from the wilderness. I figured a shower and some touristy stuff would be a nice break. I had reserved a very girly room at the Historic Occidental Hotel. This ended up being really nice. If you travel with...

Turns out, there were 2 stud bulls that called this campground home. And after spending 12 days in Canada last year and never seeing a moose, it was cool to get within bow range of them. We spent some time the next day driving up to a reservoir in the mountains. This turned out to be my...

Just returned home from a nice scouting trip to Wyoming with my family. Had a great trip and am pretty happy with the tags I drew after seeing what lives in the units. I've been hunting out west for the past 5 years now and am absolutely addicted. My wife is a high school teacher, so...

Headed out for a scouting trip next week to unit 20 & 22. Any issues with rattle snakes there? They dont bother me much but I'll have my wife and 2 year old so I want to be prepared. Gonna go into the mountains one day but will mostly be in the foothills and prarie. Thanks! Sent from my...

So 2018 will be the year to delve into elk hunting for me. Im indesicive on where to start. Here are some options and plans I have. Wyoming- My original plan was to elk hunt every 3rd year drawing a Wyoming General tag and learn an area. I'll have 3 points going into the 2018 draw. Option 1...

Started thinking today about building points for my kid. Hes only 2 so i have a little time to plan 😜 What age/states can I start buying him points? Where would you start now? Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
