I have used a great outfitter a number of times in WY, but his camps are all in GEN areas. I suggest that you start your search by looking in the WY F&G statistics page for the last couple years and find a limited area that you can draw with 9 or 10 pts. Then research that area to see if it...

Thanks Marcus; yes I did get a decent bull. I will post the story and photos when I get back from my WY antelope hunt. I took a lot of pics with a good camera, but they won't post on the new format here, so I will have to play around with it some.

Looks like you have a hunting pard for life. Just hope he isn't too diverted by the influence of the two most dangerous chemical substances out there...…. gasoline and perfume.

I was down to one package of antelope polish sausage before my CO elk hunt. Came home with 214# of freezer stuffing. I better get to eating because I expect to fill out on two antelope does next week, and a late season WY cow elk in January. We're looking at an Alaska trip next summer, so...

Well, here's a short note on not so much what I did to prepare, but rather on how well it worked out. My Colorado elk hunt started with a 6 mile hike into a high mt. lake (10,600'), 3 days of fishing and game spotting, then the hike-out. After a day in town, it was the start of the guided...

I returned from my 2 1/2 week trip out to Colorado. I saw plenty of elk, and was successful on punching my tag on a decent bull. No deer, but did find some great cut-throat trout fishing. I am leaving in a couple days for WY antelope, so will post the story with photos after my return. Happy...

Heck of a bull. You don't see many hero shots with the elk laying in a corn field. Congrats/

Even at one for three, you beat the archery odds. If your buds can find the time, I think they should definitely head back out for the rifle season. Expect more hunters and some more snow, so it may seem like an entirely different hunt. The successful hunter may want to tag along too...he can...

Final update on the Crispi Valdres: After wearing the boots every day for six weeks and hiking 150 miles with a pack in prep for my Colorado trip, I finally took them out west. I packed through some really rugged, crappy, and high elevation trails, and also a fair amount of bushwacking. I...

That's quite a deal...is the 70# bow also used? I am not a bow hunter, but did work in that direction a few years ago. I am right handed, but left eye dominant, and have had some right shoulder issues. So, I went to a local bow shop and shot a bunch of different set-ups and had no difficulty...

I prefer character over size, but your bull has plenty of both. Congrats on a well earned (can I say it?) trophy.

My guide on my (just returned from) Colorado elk hunt had come back from a musk ox hunt in Greenland. He had picked up a M71 .348 that a friend had as a safe queen for many years. He wanted to use a lever gun in an unusual caliber, and he did get a good bull with it. Five boxes of shells were...

Kabob; I don't care how long I was out in the woods, I still wouldn't want to visit a Bugger Joint when I came out. It was still an adventure for you...keep on trying and the stars do eventually align.

As an add-on to Task's list. Don't forget the Immonium AD (AKA Liquid Cork). I was in serious need of some on my CO trip, and luckily was in town overnight (the beer and BBQ ribs might have something to do with it) when the bowels rebelled. The following 7 days on horseback and foot would...

Hit her hard Slugz…living the dream. The dog got me up way too early for a potty break, so I am about to head out to Colorado a bit earlier than planned this morning. I'll be totally off the grid, so will have your updates to look forward to after my return. Perhaps I'll even have some of...

The prep work is all behind me now. For 45 years I kept in peak condition and was even in "sheep shape" for most of that time. Now, at age 67 my main focus is to be healthy and uninjured and in "mountain shape." I think that I am there. Besides my normal routine of splitting wood and some...

Makes you kind of hard to find in the dark!

Leap, not creep.

I've still got my fingers crossed, but will have to straighten them soon since I'm going hunting. I don't put in for most of the give-aways because I pretty much have all that I need now. I could sure use the Sig system, but it would necessitate the purchase of a new rifle. Such is life...

Claiming residency in states where you don't legally reside (different standards in different states), has been abused for a long, long time. The primary motivation is generally to save on taxes. You may live in New York for 9 months out of the year, but claim Florida as your residence because...
