    A Feel Good Story From The Utah DOW

    I would really like to know how far it went from where it was shot and how close did he come to finding it. If you hunt long enough you probably have a similar wounded animal that haunts your dreams. Really awesome story!

    Wyoming unit 115

    I hunted deer in that area quite a few times mostly in the SE part of the unit, seen some really nice antelope. Access in that part of the unit can be a problem. I never put in for a tag for 115 but a couple of my nephews did. They each shot 14" bucks with little effort as we were focused on...

    Shooting in the rain and wet optics

    I am almost positive that my wife's family still have a collection of old inner tubes at their farm. Thanks for the idea, if I find the inner tubes I would be more than happy to send some to you if you want.

    Shooting in the rain and wet optics

    The bikini are the only thing that I have found that really work for the hunting I do in Michigan. Trudging through cedar swamps not only makes it difficult to keep the water and snow off, but all sorts of dirt and bark. It is a bit of a pain getting them off in a hurry, I think I am going to...

    General Elk Archery vs Rifle

    It's really a personal decision but I really enjoy Wyoming in September and screaming elk. I never hunted the general tag areas, we were fortunate to have an area that had very little archery hunting pressure. This area had a tremendous amount of pressure during rifle which influenced our...

    Baiting Lawsuit Continues

    By the logic in this case, people should not be able to drive vehicles in areas inhabited by Grizzly bears because it could possible result in the death of a Grizzly bear.

    Cartridge extraction

    Did you weigh the brass at all. The wall thickness of the two could be significantly different. Sorry if it's been mentioned already.

    If You Had a Wyoming Commissioner Tag..

    If by some miracle I ended up with a Commissioner tag, I would have to come onto this forum and start asking for advice. I would have no idea which area to pick. The majority of my research is focused on areas that I can draw with 4 to 5 points because I don't want to wait 13+ years to go...

    Points question

    The way I understand it, it is species specific so you have to purchase 1 deer PP every two years to maintain your points. I could be wrong but that was always my understanding.

    Bear bait

    I've used cat food, dog food just about everything. I will typically use it after I get them hitting, I like to start out with something sweeter and add in the dog or cat food after I have them coming in.

    Social Distancing - What's Everyone Doing?

    I'm jealous, I have lots of cedar, spruce and pine that I have dreams of sawing up and building a cabin. Some day after the kids are out of college I hope to get one.

    What is your go to elk rifle / ammunition combo?

    The very first time I hunted out west, my brother and I were in Montana and came across a couple of guys skinning an Elk. Sounded like they both had put bullets into to it. Anyway as they pulled the hide off the front shoulder there was a bullet that fell out. Th e gentlemen said that he was...

    What's your personal challenge?

    I would have to say Archery Elk. I have done it unsuccessfully and have gotten totally hooked. I love the sound of a bull elk screaming at me one of the best things I have experienced in the outdoors.

    What is your go to elk rifle / ammunition combo?

    That .340 combined with 225 grain TTSX would be a go to round for anything in North America. I love my .340s.

    Locktite on your rings and bases?

    Back when I had my FFL a guy at work asked me to order him a rifle, scope, and mounts. The evening of the day I gave it to him he called me up and said that the bolt on the rifle was stuck halfway in. I asked what he had done and he said he mounted the scope and tried to cycle the action and...
