As to the topic of the post... In 2020 I shot 4 elk, all with a 7-08 and 140 accubonds, fired exactly 4 rounds to accomplish it. Ranges were: 30, 278 yards (held 20 inches of wind and it was just enough, just), 108 yards, and 162 yards. I was standing next to several other people this fall...

Wyoming black bear that was 22 years old. Have shot cow elk for sure in their late teens/maybe 20 but didn't get them aged. Oldest bull elk I killed was 10.5...oldest whitetail buck 9.5, dall sheep 11.5.

Usually all of them.

Yes, 5 sheep, 5 moose, 5 bison, 5 elk, 5 deer

You mean purchased one of the five Governors tags. Last I heard, if its the same guy, no they didn't get one yet.

Put any thought into asking GF for a season extension? May be worth a thunk...

Season runs until October 31 doesn't it? May be worth the gamble...maybe not.

If it were me, I'd keep the moose tag and hunt it this year, personally. Hunt the edges of the fire and you should do fine, animals are going to be concentrated some.

Correct and falsifying one is a fine. Have mixed feelings on the carrying over of tags. On the one hand, it sucks to draw a tag in an off year, but it happens all the time. I've drawn AZ elk during a drought year and never expected a refund, just hunted it and did the best I could. This is a...

If he shoots it well, absolutely yes. Doesn't sound like your friend from Texas has a lot of experience shooting harder kicking rifles. I'd rather see a person shooting a smaller rifle they shoot well, than a larger one they don't shoot well. Elk hit in the vitals die the same with anything...

Newest update the entire Snowy Range from hwy 130 to the Colorado line is in the closure area...including sheep mountain. We need rain, higher humidity, lower temperatures and less wind...bad.

Picture from an hour or so ago off HWY 11 looking toward Woods landing, Albany would be just to the right of the photo: Photo off HWY 130 looking toward Lake Hattie and Woods landing:

Its really cooking...its will be 100K before long. Took a spin up toward Centennial and its all mostly to the South of there, also seem to be staying South of Albany as well. Its looking like its possible it might get the south part of Sheep Mountain, Woods Landing, and further south. Wind is...

Its rolling good, picture off my deck about 30 minutes ago...this one will be in Colorado, if its not already.

Another look, cant see across town:

Its blowing up right now...I'm sure well over 30K now. Laramie air quality is pure crap and burned pine needles, etc. falling on the deck right now. Smoke is bad enough that you can see it between our house and the place across the street. Looking SW toward sheep mountain from my...

All day long...already have.

Probably about to give some on this thread a trip to the emergency room with a heart-attack. Last fall, 134 yards, 6mm Remington, 95 ballistic tip...shot it behind the near shoulder, bullet was under the hide on the opposite shoulder. Be using the same rifle this year on 2 cow elk with 90...

Congrats to you both...knew it wasn't going to take long.

The biggest opportunity is the cheap license fees for NR youth until they're 18. Points for deer, elk and pronghorn as well as the license fees are a good deal for NR youth.
