    Very nice trout. I lived on the gulf for a few years and only remember a hand full over 22".

    Price of outfitted hunts

    Your average low level employee is making double what they were 1-2 years ago in my area. Outfitters have been forced to drastically increase wages in many areas just to get/keep qualified guides. There may be some price gouging going on but outfitters are seeing much higher costs across the...

    Corner crossing...off to federal court we go.

    It is different state to state but the case law generally views it as the landowner owns at least as much of the space above the ground as he can occupy or use in connection with the land. For public flight purposes it is generally 500' to 1000'.

    How to cook rabbit meat?

    We talking cotton tail or jack rabbit? If a cottontail, follow any low and slow pork or chicken recipe. It is great to eat if you take your time cooking. If it's a jack rabbit, I recommend following pressure cooking recipes for very tough meat. I personally don't care for the jacks.

    WGFD license proposals 2022, big cuts to Antelope.

    Agree, it will be quite a while for Colorado.

    WGFD license proposals 2022, big cuts to Antelope.

    I believe whether you support it or not, 90/10 is where all western states are going. It's inevitable due to growing populations in those states, decreasing animal populations, and increased awareness by resident hunters. It will sting for a while but the non-resident hunter will still get...

    Any gardeners on here?

    My coworker got a countertop garden for Christmas. He said it is pretty amazing.

    Wyoming Moose hunt, Archery

    I would agree, random is the way to go. I would rather have the option to roll my moose points into other species instead of having them turn into bonus points.

    Any gardeners on here?

    I remember the days of 60 hour weeks and no time to garden. A friend turned us onto growing in large pots- basically ag feed barrels. It really cut the labor to basically nothing but watering and harvest. Yields aren't as good but you don't have to weed and the number of potential pests drops...

    .243 Bullet Question

    My boys youth rifles have done well with the 95 grain SST for antelope, whitetail, and mule deer. They do expand a lot up close but at typical antelope distance, they seem to perform very well for us

    Are those Burbot? I have never seen one in person but have heard about them.

    Definitely not discounting either of you guys. I had no idea that was the intention. Guessing the luster of the late tags May be lowered knowing the bucks have a good chance of being positive... Idk?

    Corner Crossing

    It will be interesting how the fund raising goes post the 90/10 vote. I think fewer non-residents are going to be willing to spend money on the cause based on threads I'm reading on other forums.

    Not sure I follow you. You disagree they have CWD or disagree that hunting will help remove the diseased animals?

    A guy can add up previous years tags by looking at all section of the draw odds. 2021 was 3574 2020 was 3753 2019 was 3944 The reason totals are dropping is due to increased numbers of LQ tags being available to non-residents. Elk populations are doing good through most of the state. There...

    Wyoming Antelope Archery Season

    That is correct for most Wyoming tags. You will want to view the specific regulation for your area once they are released to be sure. You would also likely have the option to go back with a rifle if you didn't connect during archery.

    WGFD license proposals 2022, big cuts to Antelope.

    General is unlimited for residents and is capped for non-residents to not exceed the total non-resident tag allotment. Basically general tag numbers are dependent on the number of LQ licenses non residents draw. Someone correct me if I am explaining it wrong.
