    Filled the freezer on the Flat tops

    I've been too busy to download the pics off my camera but better late than never. I had a great year on the flat tops and managed to fill both of my tags this year. It takes a lot of patience sitting on that meadow every evening but I know they will eventually come in there to feed. Where we...

    56 elk seasons later

    Well after 56 elk seasons my dad finally got the bull that eluded him for so long. 15 in. 5ths and 23" between the fifth and sixth points. He is beyond happy with this bull and I am ecstatic that I was able to be there with him when it happened.

    Found some goats

    My son thought they were pretty cool. He was able to get within 10 yards of these. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

    The Bulls are big this year

    We rode into our camp this weekend to cut our firewood for elk season and we saw about 200 elk and at least 8 bulls that were huge. Can't wait to get up there this year. We always see elk on our firewood trips but nothing like we saw this time. It should be a stellar year.

    New statistics page

    I just glanced at the new statistics and I am impressed, we don't have to guess at how many tags went to what anymore. I even reflects that the weighted point system is working. Gotta give CPW kudos for this one.

    Late migration hunts

    What are your thoughts on the late season hunts in 56 and 58. I know they aren't what they once were, but are they good enough to justify the tough draw odds. I have max points and don't mind waiting because I hunt elk at home every year and I am waiting for a premium Wyoming elk hunt.

    One great day

    I just returned from taking my 8 year old son on his first deer hunt and it was one of those hunts that I will never forget. After the shot, I have never seen him so excited and he is still talking about it nonstop. I tried repeatedly to get him set up on deer with a rifle but without a bipod...

    Good start to September

    My 7 yr. old son just passed his hunters safety and wanted to do some grouse hunting. As you can see from the pics there were 6 birds taken with 6 shots but one of us used 4 shells to take our birds while the other one only used 2. I'm not saying who shot more but we'll just call it beginners...

    Creative way to display skull caps

    I had some racks laying around the garage and didn't feel like putting them on plaques so I decided to go this route and try to make the wife happy. It worked and she likes them.

    Would you shoot him?

    Heck I shot this one because he was one of the coolest 2 points that I have found.

    Annoys the crap out of me

    I have never been on a guided hunt but I am considering doing one down the road. While researching outfitters I have discovered a trend that just rubs me wrong.....Paying a trophy fee based on the size of the animal. I can understand this on high fence operations but not when hunting public...

    How much do you spend on your elk hunt

    My friend and I were recently looking at going on a whitetail hunt in the Midwest and I was kind of surprised at the cost of whitetail tags in some of the states. It got me wondering about how much you guys from out of state usually spend on an elk hunt out west ( gas, food, license and...

    Colorado is following wyoming's lead

    I just got my application booklet and all I can say is WOW....it's going to get expensive for the non residents to gather points. However, colorado went a step further than Wyoming and decided to stick it to residents who have just been accumulating points without buying a license. My wife...
