From my memories, I believe there were drastically lower numbers of hunters. I bought over the counter doe tags from the 1980s up until about 10 years ago. Opening day was about the only day you saw other hunters back then. I believe animal populations have fluctuated up and down with...

Archery antelope are actually pretty easy in some areas if you sit a water hole.

During archery, I carry a .40 with hard cast bullets. During rifle, I carry the same gun but loaded with self defense ammo. I do not regularly hunt in grizzly areas and as others have said, I'm more concerned with people defense than anything with 4 legs.

I like the function of them but don't care for the added weight or length. I know some 4" length, lightweight ones are in R&D. If they work, I'll be getting my stamp.

He is very into the whole process. After he finished de-boning the birds, him and I worked together to do all the grinding and packaging as well. He even grilled burgers for my wife and I that night. Being able to help provide for the family is something he takes a lot of pride in. He just...

Crosses are possible and really hard to tell without testing. This deer looks like a mule deer to me but I can see why you posted. Fun to consider- thanks for posting.

That's a rope! Congrats!

Bull snakes are great to have around your house. They do zero harm and prey on a lot of different pests that can do your property harm.

16 pounds of burger in the freezer after using enough for 3 huge burgers for supper. For those that haven't done wild turkey bacon burger, you are missing out. It is amazing table fare. I'm hoping we can shoot a few more this spring to add to the supply.

1x2 mule deer in 1989 in Wyoming. I was 14 and hunting with one of my dad's friends. That was the only buck any of us saw in 3 days of hunting. I was pretty proud at the time.

Had a fun, but really short, hunt Saturday with my son. We set up 100 yards away from the roost tree about 45 minutes before legal shooting time. It was raining and breezy so nothing was calling yet. 10 minutes before legal time the rain stopped and they started gobbling from the trees right...

I prefer expandable heads - 92 lbs of ke. These have been my go to for all big game for the past 10+ years...

I don't believe Wyoming offers a map for the public like you are requesting. I have seen regional maps showing populations but nothing that specifically shows where those herd exist in the regions. I think the closest you will find are the hunting forecasts published yearly by region.

I personally think moose are easy to approach compared to elk and deer. Nice thing about Wyoming is you can try with the bow and then come back during rifle if needed. Your archery elk setup should be fine on a moose. I would recommend hunting early season at high elevations. That first week...

Interesting option - https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2000-05-24-0005240018-story.html On a serious note- I like short names for hunting dogs. Much easier when in the field imo. Beau, Sam, and my current lab, Gus, are my favorites.

How do you lose even one that can't be accounted for?

Trophy hunting to me simply means selective harvest. The hunter is seeking something beyond the average animal. What that something is can be defined differently by each hunter.

I know some guys that prefer to hang their quarters, with hide on, by the leg. I does keep the main muscle groups a bit cleaner and prevents some drying out. I personally don't like to pack any bone other than the skull, but to each their own.

That a good question - guessing you will be able to modify to the new tags as long as they are same/same- if that change goes through. Remember, these are just recommendations that haven't been approved yet. Guessing most or all changes will though. As far as the reduction in years, I...

Antelope just got a lot harder to draw for many people. There are some decent elk increases though in some areas. Wish those numbers came out before we had to apply as a non-resident. Interesting tag in area 7 for meat hunters among others- 4 point or less bull tag added with 350 permits...
