    Hunting Wyoming Elk in 2021?

    Still building up points for a general draw, and am at least one more year out. I did apply for a type 6 tag that have drawn 2 out of the last 4 years. I used my deer points this year, and unless I move to WY, may never get to do that hunt again.

    Kid; Did you remember to put your teeth back in before dinner? That might work better.

    Wyoming Lion Hunt

    A 6" Colt Python definitely makes an impression on drunken miscreants. It was pointed at a fair number of would be toughs, but I never had to go to the next step. I could make smiley faces on the target during our qualification shoots until the instructor told me to quit showing off. It...

    I just returned from a two week trip out west. Most of the first weeks exercise was noted in my post in the predator section "WY lion hunt" Believe me, most of it was a max+ workout. After I got stuck in Rapid City for 6 days, I walked 4 to 6 miles a day and kept up the calestetics. Now...

    Wyoming Lion Hunt

    I am going to fix some "chicken nuggets" at the hunting shack for three of us on Tuesday. I will give a report on Thursday unless it kills me first.

    Wyoming Lion Hunt

    Especially after I add the cost to repair the truck, a week in a motel, $480 in ammunition, meals, and don't forget beer..$$$$$

    Wyoming Lion Hunt

    Clint was a bit apprehensive about me using a pistol because he has had a couple clients in the past who had made bad shots and everything turned into an arcade shoot to follow up on the injured lion. One had a .454 and claimed he could kill an African lion with it. Sure, but you still have to...

    Wyoming Lion Hunt

    I just returned home from a longer than expected Wyoming lion hunt. The current lockdown has cancelled our annual snowmobile trip to Idaho, there's little snow to ride on here in MN, and I didn't draw a late season cow elk tag. So, I called my friend in WY and lined up a lion hunt, starting...

    Elk drop camp options

    I've been on a number of fully guided hunts, as well as numerous DIY backpack hunts, and as taskswap stated, the pack=in is tough, but the pack-out after filling a tag is daunting. Especially on a hunt with your wife, the drop camp is a good way to go, and costs about 1/3 to 1/2 of a fully...

    I am headed to WY on Saturday to do some running up and down the mountain chasing coyotes and hopefully a mountain lion. I am no where near the condition I was in last fall for my mule deer hunt, so will soon see how much I am going to pay for that. Basic exercises and wood cutting have been...

    Duck dog

    I have two mini-dachshunds. I haven't used them for hunting yet, but they are hell on chipmunks. I suppose they would have a hard time retrieving a goose though.

    High country mulies 21' who's in??

    I would hunt them every year if I could, but as a NR it's tough to draw a tag again once I used my points. Burned 10 pts. in CO a couple years ago, and 4 in WY this past year. I can draw other deer hunts, but they are generally not in the high country or in a very poor deer area. I will keep...

    Best States?

    BC; my guide that I had for my 2019 muzzy elk hunt in CO had just returned from a Greenland musk ox hunt. He had a grand adventure and plans on a full body mount (he's a taxi.) It wasn't god-awful expensive, but logistically a PIA, and his ox is still in Norway waiting for the CITES export...

    Good going Marcus. I used to travel the Divine Highway, but after 46 years of marriage, my wife doesn't really want to go there much anymore.

    Best States?

    Enter the various state raffles like the Wyoming Super Tag. Rotten odds, but not really all that much worse than buying points for half your lifetime hoping that you're still alive 25-30 years from now. How many of you have bought the lottery tickets when you heard that they are over 400...
