I truly sympathize with the family suffering from the loss of a loved one. It's a terrible thing that happened. That said, cpw is not to blame. Many states have accident free firearm seasons with no orange requirement. This tragedy happened because a hunter made an extremely bad decision to...

You have my families prayers. We are all very sorry for your loss. If there is anything we can help with, please let us know.

I really applaud many of the things he accomplished. Without him, hunting may not be the same today. However I struggle to read some of the accounts from his hunts. It was common to shoot something and just take the antlers leaving the meat to spoil. https://www.bartleby.com/52/9.html

Had years like that. Struggle to get bulls in range all archery season and then shoot one with a rifle at archery distance. Congrats for getting it done and filling the freezer!

What was the ranger shooting him with? Not much recoil- looked and sounded weird. And the gun didn't make sound on his second shot? You can see what appears to be gas exiting the barrel but no report? Weird.

Your exact comment, " If I'm serious about a trip (elk)..." just implied that you didn't get serious with the others. My apologies. Growing up out west I did see quite a few guys basically use antelope as a practice session for other species to follow. It always bothered me.

So no picture of your sons?

So a mule deer or antelope doesn't deserve being serious and verifying zero, only elk?

Some amazing footage! Not sure I would have taken a few of those shots but they seemed to all work out for the hunters.

Things can happen on a hunt. Lost packs, scope knocked off zero, broken scopes, accidents, etc. I always have 2-3 boxes of ammo along on a hunt with one box being in the glove box or tool box away from the other ammo. One box doesn't leave much room for error. That said, I rarely have used...

Great buck! Looks very similar to one I saw a week ago today. Maybe same one?

It's actually a great question. My buddies and I just discussed this recently and we have been shooting for a long time. It really is personal preference. I sight in prone with front and rear supports so the rifle is extremely steady and then use the highest magnification on the scope so I...

I have Oreos and it's always been 12345? What could be wrong? ...lol

The roads are marked pretty clearly once you are out there. Hunting one near Laramie this past weekend I was surprised at how many of the good roads were just plain closed. A vertical sign next to each road either had an arrow meaning it was ok to travel or a closed sign. It was actually a...

Here are the reported details for anyone interested - https://www.durangoherald.com/articles/arrest-affidavit-details-fatal-hunting-incident-in-dolores-county/ I feel bad for all involved- just a sad story.

Not sure what it is about my thread but it sure attracts the spammers lol.

Small fall fawns are a result of either late breeding during the 2nd or third estrous cycle or doe fawn being bred on their first cycle. https://www.deeranddeerhunting.com/deer-scouting/deer-behavior/whitetail-fawns-rule-second-rut The later is more common with whitetails but does happen...

Had a fun hunt this past weekend with the family. My son harvested his first antelope and I filled my tag on a decent buck. It was tough hunting with the numbers being down. I sure hope they limit or eliminate the doe tags near Laramie for the next few years. We saw more bucks than fawns.

Southern Wyoming bulls are at it pretty hard from friends reports.

The variance in deer body size down there is crazy. I shot what I believe was a 2 year old 4x4 between Beaumont and Houston about 20 years ago. The body was so small I was surprised. I knew the deer wouldn't be as big as northern bucks but it was shocking. I literally picked him up by...
