Last years sheep hunter has a summer place up that way and has the sheep fever real bad. He told me he plans to do some scouting for me to get some...

    WA Sheep Tag

    I got real lucky and after 19 yrs of applying, I drew a CA bighorn tag in WA in an area with only one permit. I scouted for two days last weekend and spotted 22 different rams. I hope to break the 170 inch mark and maybe write a story for Eastman's mag.

    WY deer Areas 84,120& 37 in the Special draw.

    I have two deer points and at 63yr old, there is no way I'm going to draw a real good limited deer tag. I decided to look at these areas and with 2 points in the special draw I could draw them. Are they worth the extra money I'd like to get your feeling on these. I'd be happy with a 150-170...

    WY deer areas 78,79,80,81 and 83

    I have two deer points and at 63yr old, there is no way I'm going to draw a real good limited deer tag. I've been looking at these areas now that they are in the Limited draw. I've hunted region D a few times in the past and killed a 167 point deer there about 8ys ago. I was going to buy another...

    Region D

    I've hunted region D four times in the past but its been 6 yrs since I last hunted it. I have 2 deer points but that won't get me into G or a good limited draw area. I see they made some units in D a special draw. Has anyone hunted it lately and what are your thoughts on it. I may pick it in the...

    Trophy quality

    I only have one point for antelope and I'm thinking of buying the more expensive tag for 2014. I've looked at the draw odds in the special draw with one point and the areas I really want are not drawable. It looks like I can draw type 1 areas 83, 46, 47, 48. I've hunted 46 about 6 years ago and...

    Anyone one this site ever use one and what did you think about them. Thinking of buying one for a friend that did me a big favor. He doesn't hunt much but I'd like to replace his fixed 4x for him.

    Burnt timber hunting

    I scouted a place I drew a tag in in Eastern WA this past weekend. It has a lot of old burnt timber from a previous fire and the downed trees are laying in every direction. Its hard to walk 50yd before you have to climb over them. Definitely elk sign in there but can this area be hunted...

    # of tags you can get.

    I always thought you could buy up to 4 doe deer and doe antelope tags. I just found out I was not able to buy two more left over doe tags for either species. I had bought two of each in the draw. Did something change this year or can you only buy a max of two doe tags in an area?

    what do you think?

    Here are a few of mine. The heavy one on the left in the picture with the two skulls scores 79 7/8 The other is 15 1/4 tall but will probably score around 76 or so. The antelope in the photo is the 15 incher. My talest to date but that heavy one was only 13 7/8 tall because of two broken ivories...

    Area 83 Antelope

    I put in with a friend for some doe tags for this area. He just wants some meat to take back to FL. I don't have points but put in for an 83 buck tag and hope to get real lucky. Are there some good bucks in this area? I know there is a lot of private land there but there looks to be enought BLM...

    WY Antelope 62-2 & 63-2

    I see both these areas can be drawn without any points. I haven't gotten hold of the biologist for these areas yet. I know there sub areas of the larger area but are they still good areas to apply to? Can bucks 77in and larger be taken in these areas? Make me nervious when the draw odds are so...

    WY Deer R vs K

    My dilemma is I'm 62yrs and have one deer point. Looking at the draw odds I'm never going to draw the best limited deer hunts in WY before I'm too old. I'm still in good shape and can pack in 4 or 5 miles if I have to. I've hunted region D 4 or 5 times in the past and drew 118 deer once. Region...

    Spotting Scope

    Anyone know anything about the Celestron Ultima Spotting scopes. I was wondering about the 18x55x65 model.Are they any good? Would just use it for antelope hunting when I get lucky to draw a tag in WY. I have little use for it here in WA unless I draw a sheep or goat tag.

    Thankful for the chance WY

    After not being able to draw a branched antler bull tag in WA for the last 7yr or a cow tag in the last 5, my hunger for elk meat was getting pretty strong. Three friends and I decided to buy left over cow tags for area 61-6. The decision to hunt this area was made after a WY GW told me of all...

    WY 2012 Antelope

    Here are some photo's of the buck I shot this year. I had scouted two full days before the season and did not see very many good goats. I all fairness I did not cover the whole area because of its size. I did see a very good goat on the opener evening but I'm not sure this one was the one I saw...
