    OnXMaps...disappointment...some upside

    Skip my vent session, if this has been covered before... It appears that the ONXMAPS:Multi-State Regional Chips have been retired. I typically go through the update process on my chips around this time every year. While I am sure it was a business decision that makes $ense for he company, for...

    Colorado Elk Unit 500

    Well a buddy and I drew first rifle season elk tags in Unit 500. With maps and chips in hand (we like to try and cover the basics.) I thought I would toss out a line and see if anyone had anything to share on this unit. A few locals have told us the fishing is good but didn't say anything about...

    CO second season diy elk

    Well folks that's that. We've pulled out of CO and were skunked, a first for us, 0 for 3. The weather was tough the pressure even tougher. We hunted 8,500ft to 10,400 and put 6-8 miles on a day walked though the pumpkin patch and still never did get on an elk. Mules were abundant...a big thanks...

    Quota you want to talk about Quota?

    Yes, I want to talk about Quotas. As I pour over draw odds and tag choices I am a bit confused. When the State of Wyo says 2015 Quota 2 as far as simple odds but shows Quota 6 in the preference point drawing all for non resident...what does that mean?!? is the quota 2 or 6? I know I'm missing...

    Wyoming 100-7 Elk down 2 for 2

    Well folks, thank you. With the help and knowledge from this forum we were able to tag out on elk. Between the rain, slick roads and fog its hard to believe that we were setup and tagged out in less than 30 hours. We didn't scout for a future bull hunt as much as we had hoped but we had left...

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

    Actually, from what I see the type 7 hunt is the central part of the unit in all of its checker boarded glory. Described by Wyoming Fish and Game as "Cow or calf valid east of U.S. Highway 191, south of Sweetwater County Road 17 and Sweetwater County Road 15, and west of Sweetwater County Road...

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

    As the title says; got a cow tag for Wyoming Elk Unit 100. After the initial high fives over getting drawn I am reviewing what I already knew...this is a crazy checkerboard unit and the 100-7 limitation (Cow or calf valid east of U.S. Highway 191, south of Sweetwater County Road 17 and...

    I know we are still right in elk season...but have stumbled upon a question that has left me scratching me head. How to we complete a cow elk hunt without using our PP's? My buddies and are looking at a Wyoming DIY hunt. Do you just wait for the left overs and hope everyone buys a tag in time? I...

    Wyoming Unit 71 Antelope

    Thanks guys, two of us tagged out the same day and one tagged out the day before. We did manage a group picture before we put the zip ties on the tags and put everything in the cooler. Now it is time to research cow elk tags for next year as an icebreaker to bull tags in the future.

    Wyoming Unit 71 Antelope

    Alright, a quick wrap up on unit 71. This is a tough unit for a public land DIY hunt. That being said we did meet a couple of ranchers and we never saw another Antelope hunter while we were there. In years past there were 400+ tags for this unit and this year there were 100 buck tags and 50...

    So, hey I am the new guy...or one of the many new guys that I am sure will show up as time starts to get short. I didn't see the "New Member Introduction" section as it was down at the bottom of the list. But, I have found it now and after reading the "sticky" I see I have already broken a...

    Wyoming Unit 71 Antelope

    Hey all, first time poster here at Eastman's. My group drew Antelope Unit 71. We have the maps we have the GPS Chip and heck have been all over Google-Earth (nearly have the unit memorized.) The question is what can a few DIY'ers expect out of this unit? We have hunted Unit 42 and Unit 29 in the...
