    CO archery Elk unit 48

    I think I would rather be there during the dark moon, even though muzzleloader is open for some of it. Wait until the end of the month and you will be dealing with a bright moon, and an elk herd that has been pressured for the past 4 weeks. My guess is you will see very little day time...

    Wyoming 1990

    Thanks for posting. I know the majority of us really took for granted what we had in tag availability. I'm guessing 30 ears from now our kids will say the same thing. It's definitely headed in the wrong direction for those that want to hunt yearly.

    How are preference points weighted?

    Point creep does happen with the general tags but if you look back over the last 5-10 years you will see it is typically more gradual. I think you will likely draw in the regular with 3.6. If you are really concerned, you could just make hunter #1 & #2 apply special. Everyone one would be...

    Wyoming unit 47 or 50 antelope?

    No, just got back to Nebraska in time for the tornados. My mom sent me pictures of it all.. pretty big storm, especially for June.

    Wyoming unit 47 or 50 antelope?

    45 isn't out of the woods yet! Heavy wet snow really piling up today in the Laramie Valley.

    Opening The Can Of Worms...Coronavirus...

    If the economy doesn't bounce back significantly, I think it's possible we see a drop in points. A lot of people are hurting right now and it will take some time to heal.

    Conibear, it is clear that your beliefs and the majorities of this boards aren't the same. You are entitled to your opinions but I would respectfully ask you to choose your words carefully. You have no idea who the people here are or how they live their lives. I am definitely not being...

    Protest marching

    I could care less what the news says anymore. I have never been more glad to live in rural america and I'm very prepared to protect my business, belongings, and my family's life. Glad there are others that feel the same.

    I talked to my buddy about 24. He said he really hasn't spent much time in that unit in several years so he wouldn't be much help.

    Shooting in the rain and wet optics

    Bikini, period. They are cheap and extremely effective. I also use a small section of a thin sandwich bag on the end of my barrel taped on. Black tape over the end has worked fine but I like as little plugging the end as possible. I also keep the action tucked into my body to limit the...

    I think you are going to be really happy with that tag. Congrats! It can't hurt to ask - I'll give him a call tonight. I'm going camping with him in the Snowy Range in 3 weeks so I can also visit with him over a beer and get his thoughts.

    Elk draw

    Even in last years draw you would have only had 50% odds with 4.5 PP. Not a case of point creep getting you but rather being mislead by the outfitter. I can only think of a couple of scenarios on why; 1- outfitter thought there would be fewer applicants with Covid-19 and really thought you...

    Grizzly Bears Are Getting Out Of Hand

    To be honest I have no desire to hunt them and I am questioning how much of an impact a hunting season would have on bear attacks. I have read studies that suggest it would take several generations before hunting had a positive effect on removing more aggressive bears vs bears that are more...

    Social Distancing - What's Everyone Doing?

    Started my one arrow per weekday routine today. Will shoot more on the weekends. This method has helped me a lot in previous years when I have been disciplined enough to do it. Starting off easy... I do random distances for the one a day. Today was 33 yards.

    Wow, sorry to hear that. I suppose you have a deposit in with them so can't walk away?

    Drew Wy Unit 108 for elk

    Just curious, why did you choose to apply for area 108 without a plan? It's a great area but to make the most of the tag you really need private land access imo. Out West Safaris controls a good percentage of the area. If you are willing to pay, you will shoot a good bull.

    Elk draw

    It would be worth a call tomorrow. You sure everyone paid special? In regular draw, you needed 5.
