    Area 93 antelope

    Deer and elk don't open until Oct 1 or later. You really have plenty of time to get your goat before they open.

    As long as you don't ask me to buy your out of state tags, keep spending it.....LOL!

    Wyoming Corner Crossing Appeal Higher Court

    If this case is lost (again) on appeal, bet it goes all the way to the US Supreme Court as the landowner obviously has very deep pockets!

    2023 FISHING THREAD

    I am probably going to replace the sonar fish finder. It has a Humminbird Wide Field. The problem is that it is really hard to read the screen when the sun shines on it. I also would like a color screen and as simple as possible operation. Small size and less than $500. Any recommendations?

    2023 FISHING THREAD

    Finally got my new boat in the water for a shake down yesterday. After I got it out of my storage cover, I had to de-winterize it. I checked all the engine and outdrive vitals. Charged the battery and checked all the safety equipment. I also moved and rewired the sonar fishfinder. Went to our...

    unit 65 antelope wyo

    I have hunted it many years ago and OOBUCK is spot on. The only concern I would have is winter kill. Some of the units close to 65 had a bunch and populations could be lower than normal. Good luck.

    Cortez (my closest town) has 3 stations that have ethanol free gas. I do use it in my boat.

    Secondary Draw for Big Game Tags

    Yep. All of the units I applied for (except for 1) had 4 or less tags. One of the elk units that I have hunted several times always has left over tags. It is a migratory unit and needs some snow to push the animals into the area.

    Secondary Draw for Big Game Tags

    I found some deer and elk units that I have experience hunting in, so I applied for 2 deer and 4 elk units. Hope I draw one.

    Social Media

    I am on Facebook. Except for the stupid ads, I keep in touch with a lot of friends, relatives and former classmates and people I worked with. There are a few shooting webpages I look at and comment on, but that's it.

    FL tag app time

    I spent a lot of time in Fl in the 70's working on the Shuttle program. Lots of gators and turkeys and a few hogs , but working 7 days a week leaves little time for much else. When I did have a day off here and there, I went fishing and diving.

    Happy Father's Day

    The last picture was when I was 12 years old in 1953. My Dad and his friends used to to a backcountry deer hunt in California every year. A pack station packed all our gear on mules and we rode horses to our camp about 15 miles in the backcountry. We stayed for a week. My Dad let me go and get...

    Happy Father's Day

    To all the Fathers out there....Happy Fathers Day to you all. I remember my Dad as the example in my life of what life and Fathers are all about. He was the rock of our family and the example for myself and my sisters to look up to. Dad passed in 2012 and is missed, but still in my life. 3...

    Anyone have any idea when the units that are available for the Secondary Draw are going to be posted? I called CP & W and all I got was "soon" !

    The new age of Hunting

    For me it is less than 400 yards, unless conditions are perfect. The longest shot I have ever tried was about 500 yards (pre range finder days) and it was unsuccessful due to winds across a canyon. The longest kill shot was 450 on an antelope.

    The new age of Hunting

    Everyone should know their own limitations and their equipment limitations. That isn't to say all hunters will stay within these limitations. I also believe that some of the TV hunting programs have done hunting and hunters a disfavor by showing the shooting of animals at extreme ranges. They...

    Broken Stuff

    You are right about that. I had a 2 4 stroke outboards (Mercurys) that were great.

    Broken Stuff

    I would rather work on an older 2 stroke than the newer 4 strokers. Same with cars....older is definetely easier to work on!

    2023 draw results

    I will be hunting private land cow elk. One of my Masonic Lodge brothers has some land not too far from my home place and he gets some land owner tags each year. He told me he is saving a cow tag for me. It will be a great freezer filler and a lot of fun with his family, especially his...
