    Let the gov't goat slaughter begin!

    I see your point and agree with parts and disagree with parts. The high plains weren't devoid of game birds, lots of sharp tails and sage grouse. Mountain grouse have always been around as well. There's a huge difference between terrestrial wildlife and aquatic wildlife...pretty tough to put...

    Let the gov't goat slaughter begin!

    I've heard the same theory, possible but very remote chance as a best case. Not sure why you would drop one bucket of water from one lake to another. The buckets also open from the bottom, making it really unlikely that fish would remain after a bucket drop. Anything is possible though. But...

    Let the gov't goat slaughter begin!

    Goat issue aside...which I agree with the GF Commission about. WYME is not being truthful at all in regard to the lake trout situation. A clear case of bar-stool propaganda and ax grinding. It is a fact that the Government did plant lake trout in 1890 in Lewis and Shoshone Lake, but did not...

    WY Commission tags...

    Apparently a new Wyoming based group is taking on the issue of WGF Commission licenses. I would also expect them to take up the same with Governors tags. Both of these programs have some major issues... Many sportsmen in Wyoming have been biting around the edges of the issue for a long time...

    SF0003 Update

    Just wanted to keep everyone in the loop on what happened today in the house TRW committee meeting on this license set aside bill. First of all, your emails made a huge impact, there was a lot of discussion regarding the fairness, constitutionality, and reasons for set asides. Representative...

    160 tag loss for WY Pronghorn hunters...

    The 2018 legislative session is in full swing. This bill has already passed out of the Senate TRW committee and is on its way to the House TRW. What's at stake? Well, 160 set aside tags for the exclusive use of 2 pronghorn hunts. (b) In addition the commission may, upon payment of 2 proper...

    Bighorn Sheep?

    I would definitely scout as much as you can. I drew an AZ desert tag in 2012 and spent about 10 days prior to the season scouting. IME, the best part of the hunt was actually the scouting. I never saw another sheep hunter until 2 days before the season (granted there were only 6 total tags). I...

    Max shot distance on elk... 270 weatherby

    Doesn't mean much...unless you're shooting elk at 100 yards. Don't even know much about your platform. Fixed crosshairs? Spinning turrets? BDC? Bedded, trigger, firing pin assembly? Chrono'd load? How is all that relating to your platform? How much have you shot past 100? Here's a 5-shot 100...
