    Wyoming Wildlife Federation Banquet

    Just wanted to let everyone know about the upcoming Wyoming Wildlife Federation banquet in Cheyenne on March 5th. This is an organization worth supporting. They are taking a strong stand against the transfer of federal lands.

    Wyoming Sheep Hunt

    I have maximum sheep preference points (21) and can probably draw a tag in almost any Wyoming unit. Since I am not getting any younger, I am planning to cash them in this fall. It will be my first sheep hunt. It will also be my first guided hunt. In the past, I have been strictly a DIY...

    NE Wy-deer suggestions

    outdoornut, I also just returned from the Blackhills of NE Wyoming. Maybe we passed each other on the road! I shot this buck which is about average of what I have shot on public land over the years. Glad you had a good time.

    Spikes Excluded!

    Just before going on my September elk archery hunt, I checked the regs and discovered that for the first time in years, spikes were excluded in my hunt area. Upon checking other units, I noticed that spikes were excluded in some of them as well. This appears to be a new direction the Wyoming...

    Transfer of Public Lands

    I am surprised they have already identified areas that might be transferred. I thought that would be sorted out by the study, but the study has not even started yet. For those that might not be familiar with Wyoming, I am attaching a map of the Thunder Basin. Also, here is a link to the...

    Pioneer License

    I am wondering how many people are aware that they can get a free pioneer license if they are at least 65 years old and have lived in Wyoming for at least 30 years? I recently found out about it and got mine on Monday. It appears to be a heck of deal. You get a fishing license, a...

    Wyo Unit 100-7 got drawn now what...

    I would describe it as the southwest part of unit 100. I have hunted it many times. I would concentrate on the area near the Bridger Power Plant. They have quite a bit of reclaimed mine land there, as well as water, and the elk like to hang out nearby. Note: some of the area immediately...

    In Wyoming, Taylor Haynes, republican candidate for governor, is advocating the transfer of federal lands to state ownership. He has implied that he is willing to do this with the stroke of a pen regardless of the questionable legality. He has a full page ad about federal land transfer in the...
