    How many of you will get the Covid shot?

    My mom's doctor has advised her not to get the vaccine right now. She had Covid in October. He said her antibodies should carry her through the next several months with no problems. He did say she should plan on getting the vaccine before next fall.

    I really think any of you that used to be a fan of the old Cabela's would really like the Scheel's business model. I have always had very good service from very knowledgeable people. The do cater to more than just outdoor recreation but every one I have been in has great hunting, fishing, &...

    2021 Meat Hunt

    Here is you main tool to start research. No easy doe tags to be had in SE Wyoming. https://wgfdrawdocs.azurewebsites.net/docs/2020DRAWINGODDS_Ant_DF_NonRes.pdf Your best chance down there is in area 43 but some people applied last year and didn't even draw one tag. Your best chance at...

    I have seen the elk track version of these. Would be pretty fun to mess with guys around camp or around their vehicle.

    Bulls Taken in 2020 with what bullet and caliber combos?

    [QUOTE="Montana, post: 298624, member: 1826" Would love to see the 7x7 in a year or two. He looks to have the potential to be a great bull. A couple others, if given time, might get to that 350 mark. Can you get that tag regularly?

    How many of you will get the Covid shot?

    Not sure what the right answer is but I think we can likely all agree that the bleeding needs to stop... and our charity to other countries should be suspended until we are in a much stronger position.

    Stepping my game up

    Fittohunt, I would caution you on the guided hunts. There is a fair chance that you will end up with a guide with about the same experience as you unless you really do your research. I was hired as a guide when I was 19. I had shot 6 elk in my life- 5 with a rifle and one with a bow. I did...

    That's really too bad. I'm hoping Scheels doesn't go this route as they are my current go to for a brick and mortar.

    2021 Wyoming Antelope help

    One other item to note, when you hunt can really impact the number of antelope you see. It is popular with many on this site to wait until 2-3 weeks into the season to avoid hunting pressure. In some areas, this means the majority of the antelope have been pushed to private or in some...

    2021 Wyoming Antelope help

    Still plenty of areas with antelope. Numbers are down in some areas but plenty of good hunts out there. I do agree it would be best to wait until spring to see how numbers look.

    It's sad but I feel similarly.

    What is this rock??

    Could be a meteorite. Check the sensitivity settings on your detector. Any object showing paramagnetism should have enough metal in it to make your detector go off. It look like this?

    Favorite Hunts

    I voted archery elk but in reality, whatever tag I draw in Wyoming typically gets 100% of my focus. Unless point creep gets crazy, I should be headed there for several years in a row. If I get lucky and draw elk random before 2024, plans will shift to incorporate an archery elk hunt. 2021 -...

    How many of you will get the Covid shot?

    Why are you targeting this at me? I said they were skeptical whether it had happened yet because it hasn't been confirmed. I never stated anything otherwise. In all my posts, I am simply stating what is actually happening. Many areas are approaching herd immunity before the vaccine has...

    How many of you will get the Covid shot?

    There are a few reports but there is skepticism because there have been so many false positives. For instance our local football team gets tested daily. They have had 20 false positives over the last 2 months and 1 actual confirmed positive after pcr testing. The general public doesn't get...

    How many of you will get the Covid shot?

    I believe you are likely correct in many instances. I just think it will be too late to do any good for the general population in most areas. I have done the most work on this in Nebraska as it's part of my job. We currently have had 149,344 positive cases. It is generally accepted by the...

    How many of you will get the Covid shot?

    I think the vaccine is going to be available about the time most areas are reaching, or will have already reached herd immunity. Glancing around various state websites today, a lot are rapidly declining. The entire state of Wyoming only had 15 confirmed on Saturday. Nebraska is steadily...
