    unit 65 antelope wyo

    If I had the tag, I would start with the BLM roads Northwest of Sweetwater Station, off of HWY 287. Like others have said, plenty of ways into the area and tons of public land. Winter kill will be worse the further south you get in the area so I would focus on the Northern parts of the area...

    6.5 and 7 PRC, what are your thoughts?

    Not a bad deal on those. Not a fan of the 6x18 scopes though.

    6.5 and 7 PRC, what are your thoughts?

    I have had the if it isn't broken, don't fix it mentality most of my life. It has kept me from some good things and has definitely helped me avoid some scams. The past few years I have given more of the new stuff a chance. After a lot of my own research, I do believe there are some...

    I use 91 ethanol free in everything based on the recommendations of my local small engine guy.

    2023 Antelope/Deer and Resident Elk Results Available

    I have a couple of resident buddies that drew good LQ deer hunts. I think it's just a tough year with the reduced tags and winterkill. Or you guys are just unlucky lol.

    2023 Antelope/Deer and Resident Elk Results Available

    I think a lot of people that were holding out for a premium areas decided it wasn't worth it after the winter kill. I have heard from quite a few guys who just wanted to cash in their points and be done.

    My son and I drew antelope. Didn't apply for deer since my son has an elk tag again.

    I had heard that was coming. I'm honestly glad to see the additional cuts.

    It's May, but feels like August!

    Could send some my way in Nebraska. We have been extremely dry. All of our marshes are dried up with no rain in the forecast.

    Elk General tag

    You have a few options imo. #1- You can apply regular and let them apply special- good chance you all draw next year. #2- You guys make an agreement to go on two elk hunts. Once for you next year and again when the other two guys draw in a few years. Agree to help each other and split...

    2023 FISHING THREAD

    Took a few kids out yesterday morning. They caught 60-70 crappie as well as the occasional non-target fish. We only kept 22 big ones and a couple of white perch a young kid wanted to keep. My niece would rather fish than just about anything.

    My son and I caught a bunch of crappie and the occasional channel catfish Saturday. Released everything so didn't have many pictures to show.

    Opinions needed for Daughter's new rifle

    Several good options out there but it would be easier to make a recommendation if we knew a little more about her. For smaller framed shooters, I like the 7mm-08, the .308, and the new 6.5 cartridges. Ammo availability has changed a bit over the last few years. Hornady's current top produced...

    2023 WY Bison/Goat/Moose/Sheep Results Up

    That 90/10 reality really set in looking at those results/odds. Minimum 18 points just to draw the lowest point tag. Seems crazy but I understand why those guys dumped their points. Will be interesting to look at the applicant numbers overall to see if they drop over the next couple of years...

    New Member long time EBJ reader and bowhunter

    Not much to offer but I know a little. In your shoes I would start my scouting on the southern end of the area around water sources. There are some write ups on here and a couple of other forums but not much that is going to give you specific direction. From what I know those elk don't...
