    WY 2023 Hunting Season Proposals

    All one has to do is look at the obvious: All public lands I frequent are significantly over grazed. Cattle and sheep devastate the landscape. When prairie is grazed down to bare dirt and "mature" sage brush is only achieving 12"-18" in height that tells you something. You get a few hard years...

    WY 2023 Hunting Season Proposals

    Yeah, but fewer elk means more muley chasers! As long as them stinky ol' elk keep them distracted it leaves less mule deer pressure for us!😁

    Should I apply for Antelope in Wyoming or not???

    Yup. Overhunting is an issue no doubt... to the point it is not near as enjoyable to go out and hunt any more. It is now a race... a competition to get on animals vs a relaxing day afield. It shows the selfishness and greed attributes of humans that I dislike very much.

    The 1 Thing You Learned- Cooking Wild Game

    IDK... blood is wet, isn't it? If you leave raw meat in a wet mess for a time I would assume it promotes bacteria. Rinse it and let air get to it or pat dry and I see no harm. Leaving dirt, hair and offel on the meat would promote more bacteria growth IMO.

    Antelope

    I live a couple hours North of there, but reports are that the area you inquire about was one of the worst hit, if not THE WORST hit areas this side of the Bighorns. Casper got another three feet of snow yesterday through today... and West of there is worse. You could try calling a Casper...

    Western WY Antelope & Deer Dying

    West of Casper has had a pretty rough go this winter. WY G&F predicts above average winter kill for this area. We live a bit North of there and have observed some winter kill for a while now. On a positive, we finally have had a few days in the upper 30's and some 40's the last two days and...

    No kidding. I remember that smell as if it were yesterday... when I killed my first squirrel with a single shot 20ga at age seven. That was 54 years a go and I still love the smell!

    Nosler Rifle Model 21

    Creedmoor wouldn't be my suggestion for those uses as an all around rifle either.
