    Wyoming non-resident moose

    Just curious how many guys on here applied for Wyoming moose. I have talked to quite a few that decided not to apply this year since the tags went up. I threw my name in the hat for area 38... someone has to draw the random I guess. I'm hoping for a few less applicants to compete with.

    Helping our new hunters

    Every late season I try to take a couple new hunters out for their first deer. This year was tough with the super cold temps but I did help a couple guys with their firsts. I thought I would share a pic from last night of a guy with his first doe deer. He has the bug... It's so much fun to...

    Crll Phone Photos

    My wife took her first buck ever on Sunday. She had a shot at this same buck on Saturday morning but buck fever got the best of her and she missed. Luckily we stumbled into him while stalking another deer Sunday morning. He offered a 186 yard shot and she hit him perfectly- destroying both...

    Wisconsin Salmon Fishing

    Had a blast Wednesday battling King Salmon in Wisconsin. Had to go up there for a work trip so thought I would try again this fall. I fished there last fall but missed the run by a couple weeks. I hit it perfect this year... what a time. I released or lost most of the fish but did keep my 5...

    Nebraska Teal Season

    I scouted my little private pond this morning for our 9/2 early teal opener. I see an easy 3 man limit in the near future! I had 26 teal come in during the first 20 minutes of shooting light. There were several little groups and one larger flock of 13. I usually don't have many birds until...

    "Best of Eastmans"

    I think we need a section for the best of Eastman's posts- thinking humor here. A place where Mods can move threads like the 220 palmated shed so they never get buried too deep.
