    Right, and you still aren't worrying about others, you're worried NOW about your kids and grandkids. What do you do about the others that also started on the ground floor who still haven't drawn? What about this with one less than max points, 2 less than max points,....etc. etc. etc. Trust...

    2020 Whitetail Success Thread

    I'd own up to a bad shot, BTDT...but it is a fighting wound and was more of a tear, didnt get into the muscle at all. Tine probably poked through the skin as he was running off. Found this .22 slug under the hide on the neck, grown over with flesh...4.5 miles behind a year long gated road in...

    Masks required on federal land

    Again...try reading the CDC guidelines and the EO before becoming more faux outraged.

    Biden Adminstration Targets Hunters on Day One

    As to the AK problem, there's been an ongoing battle over jurisdiction of wildlife and that isn't ever going to be solved through EO's, from either political camp. It will just be a revolving door of EO's and undoing EO's. These issues are pretty specific to AK for a lot of reasons. 1. Rather...

    I think it would be great to have 2 draws under the current WY tag allocations. One "open" draw that is open to everyone that includes R 's being able to apply for the NR allocation. Keep the NR fees what they are Residents pay the same fees as NR, and it would also allow R's to accumulate...

    Masks required on federal land

    ...and you wonder why people are fleeing the church and religion in record numbers? I can see why "As goes the church" with your good Christian values and all. I'll bet you're just a whole lot of fun at a party...if you ever get invited to any.

    Masks required on federal land

    Funny how everyone only reads the headlines so they can become faux outraged....try reading the CDC guidelines, and the EO. Now tell me you're going to be required to wear a mask on public land while hunting. Nobody bothers to read past their bias...or more than 2 sentences to confirm that bias.

    Masks required on federal land

    Yes. Did you read the executive order before you started filling in the blanks with rhetoric and guesses?

    Masks required on federal land

    How about a 10K foot view, as in, you enter a federal facility where there are essential workers and you put on a mask to protect them at their workplace. I feel the same way about the people working at walmart. If they're good enough to be there, wearing a mask to protect me as a shopper, to...

    Wyoming Moose

    October 1, rifle opener right in the bottom about 300 yards from a road. Saw probably 20 total moose, most of them bulls while scouting the few days prior to opening day. Was able to talk my Dad out of killing the first half dozen or so, couldn't talk him out of this one: I drew 24 in 2015...

    Land ownership and wildlife ownership are mutually exclusive...and not by chance. Don't really care much for the European feudal system of wildlife ownership.

    Then you wont have a problem with paying $400 a year to hunt deer in IL? Because that's what I paid to hunt there, and didn't complain at all. As to the rest of your post, you're right, facetious at best.

    Few things. 1. We live in a place where you aren't required to hunt as a NR in any state. 2. Each state has the right to manage its resources as they see fit. Meaning if they choose to, like in the case of North Dakota with moose, etc. they can keep 100% of the resource to themselves. This is...

    Best States?

    Yep, and its going to screw some people that forget to check the right box...as well as the random odds of drawing a moose or sheep.

    Stepping my game up

    One thing that I've done since the early 80's is keep very detailed journals on all the days I hunt, trap, fish. Conditions, times I started, how far from the road, anything that I may not remember from year to year. That's been very valuable to me over time. The other thing that I do, is to...

    Harvest Data report

    I've heard strong support for mandatory harvest reporting at the various meetings I've attended in Wyoming when the topic comes up. I don't really know about the mandatory part, but with technology what it is today, I don't see where it would be too expensive, difficult, or time consuming to...
