    Okay I drew a tag in Elk Unit 45 in WY now what?

    Plenty of great help here, even by some who can be a bit gruff in the beginning. However, please keep in mind the draw systems out west are changing and lowering opportunities drastically so many are being careful what information gets posted in the wide open for all to see. If 90/10 for deer...

    What are your...?

    My goal this year is to just stay positive and do my best to keep my family doing well through all the inflation and BS going on. My family has some great fishing and hunting trips lined up so I am doing some side work to make sure we can afford to do them all without impacting our normal...

    Wyoming Unit 25 Opportunities

    Welcome to the forum. No experience specifically in 25 but I believe It will be very weather dependent. If you get some early October snow, I would be looking at foothill elevations.

    Fishing Fulton Texas

    I'm going to be in Fulton later this summer with family. Anyone ever fished down there that is willing to offer advice or recommendations? I'm interested in hiring a guide for a day and plan to shore/pier fish a few days - kids along for all of it. I have experience with specs, reds, flounder...

    2022 Fishing thread

    We caught fish on bottom bouncers with a crawler, big spinner baits, and trolling small crankbaits at high speed. The walleye were really active as the baitfish spawn is in high gear right now.

    2022 Fishing thread

    Met some buddies over the weekend for our annual walleye trip- great weather and great fishing. This one was just under 5lbs. 2nd day limit - all fish right around 3lbs and +/- 20"

    Why wouldn't the article list the land location? Maybe I missed a link?

    You are stating the same thing as we are - you can skip one year but you lose everything if you skip 2. The wording changed in 2019 but the periods remained the same.

    WY 90/10 Deer/Elk/Antelope Question

    They claim it will end up about equal but I have my doubts. The reality is they will now be guaranteed about the same number that they have been getting along with anyone who happens to draw in the other pool who decides to book a guide. It would have to result in a higher number. Another...

    Wyoming elk draw results

    We plan to take advantage of the special youth season (2 days) not to far from you. He has some extreme physical limitations so if we aren't successful there, I'm hoping to get him on private to shoot a cow. First elk he doesn't care if it's a bull or cow...

    WY 90/10 Deer/Elk/Antelope Question

    Just something to consider - The wilderness rule is obvious outfitter welfare in todays world but, back when this rule was implemented, GPS units weren't available. It was pretty rare to see a non-resident very far into the back country when I started hunting. Lost hunters were also a lot more...

    WY 90/10 Deer/Elk/Antelope Question

    It's true that it is being proposed. I believe there will be quite a bit of opposition from residents due to the outfitter welfare portion. However, the state is in a no win situation in that someone will be upset no matter what they do. The residents want straight 90/10 with no outfitter...

    how many of you belong to the NRA and should I renew my membership

    To me it's like voting for a candidate you really don't like but they happen to represent more of your values than another candidate. I'm a member because I don't see any better options at this time for me to support our 2nd rights.
