Nice. I help a friend fill his doe tag in that area opening weekend. The hardest part about it is staying with in 1/2 mile of irrigated land.

Nice there are some good rams in there.

Good listen! Thanks guys. Good luck on that goat hunt!

Fun to read everyone’s plans. Elk and antelope in Wyoming for me.

Congrats! I hit the lotto last year in unit 3. Enjoy it! You been scouting much?

Nice! That is a fun hunt you will get to look at a ton of antelope. Which doe rage did you draw?

In my opinion any broad dead cram fail. I have experience with hyperdermics and magnus buzzcuts and either one can fail. Center punching a bone on an elk is a bad deal no matter what is on the tip of your arrow. Personally I shoot fixed blades for elk but I did have a buzz cut buckle on me when...

To stay out of sight of the bedded rams, we backed over the ridge and covered the mile to the rock pile that looked like it would give us a good vantage. We then worked our way over the ridge and up to the edge. We crawled up to the edge and no sheep. I crawled a little farther and still no...

September 1 ? We were up and hiking well before light. Walking through the open basin in the dark was pretty eerie knowing that we could bump into a bear at any time but we made it to the top of the ridge just as there was enough light to start seeing things. We split into two group and headed...

August 31 ? Friday mid morning found me and a friend waiting at a the trail head for our two other hunting companions and the horses they were bringing to help us up the mountain. I walked up the trail in front of the horses who carried all of our gear. It was great to have almost no weight on...

The next few weeks I spent mostly eliminating spots due to various reasons. I would eliminate spots based lack of water, hard access, no sign of sheep, or signs of outfitter activity. By the first week of August I had narrowed down to two areas that I knew held rams and I wanted to check out up...

As work and time would allow I would glass the ridges and mountain basins that I could see from the the road from hiking in several miles to a good glassing point. July 21, a different friend made the trek down to hike into a different drainage. The plan was the same as a few weeks earlier...

Last spring a drew I drew a sheep tag in the random draw and a few guys on here really helped me out. Here is the story of the whole hunt. If it get a little long winded I appologize. I hadn’t planed on drawing the tag and really started from scratch learning how to hunt sheep. All in all it...

I ended up killing a nice ram opening day. It was a great hunt and I learned a ton. A lot of sheep, a lot of bear and a lot of rough country, everything you could ask for in a sheep hunt. I will write up a post about it when o get a chance.

I had a good reminder this weekend during a backpacking scouting trip. We hiked 26 miles in about 24 hours with a 40 lb load and my body felt great! All of my training and work outs were great but.... my feet took a beating. It must have been a combination of sweaty feet, a load, and rough...

Well I got incredibly lucky and drew a Wyoming unit 3 sheep tag in the random draw. I know how blessed I am to get this opportunity while I am still in my late 20s and I want to make the most of it. I live in Cody and and familiar with the terrain and how steep everything is. I also plan on...

I hunted the 53tag this fall and it seemed like after late August the elk were gone and the few that we did come across were on private. I didn't have any problems finding the elk this summer. Is that just due to the Sept. first cow tag opening and guys chasing them all into different units or...

I was reading through the regs. and was a little confused on the archery season for tags in areas that have a general season as well as a special draw tag. It says in the regs. "Archers with a general elk license may only hunt in those hunt areas open to general license hunting as specified in...

I grew up backpack hunting sitka blacktail on Kodiak island and camping out all the time and i never had any problems with bears. I recently moved to NW Wyo. and am looking to start some back pack hunting for mulies and elk next fall when I will be a resident. The view on bears down here is way...
