Seems like a lot of stuff going on this year - hoping for 2021 antelope. 2022 was gonna go to CO for muley so buddy could get one. During course of discussing antelope adventure, he says he'd rather skip antelope/muley and do elk or caribou. Thing is we both have budgets and he doesn't want...

Three guys collecting points, want a decent hunt - not a trophy hunt but a 3 old buddies getting out to hunt without headaches and shooting "any" antelopes. Do we go in 2022 or wait until 2025? I haven't done the research yet - just throwing it out there.

I don't apply for a lot of states, just 1 or 2 - both application periods are now and later. Do you-all think that less folks are even going to apply for hunting this year?

I have the 10x42 Leupold Mojave Cabelas version binocular and love it for all the uses it has back east. Then I tried it on my 2019 hunt. We had some muley does bedded at 400 yds and could see em if you knew where you were looking. Buddy had newer sub-$200 Leupolds that showed em a tad bit...

Pack is as-new. Purchased in late 2018/early 2019 for what was supposed to be a back country hunt and ended up truck hunting. Pack was used a few times around home and a few times in CO 2019 season. Never seen meat, blood, or even dead animals - the couple times I wore it were just "walks in...

After the concept of WY going to 10% and bumping Mule deer up to 550, mentioned it to a buddy and he wants to go next year. Seems like a good idea. With 2 pts should we look at units (maybe special draw) or general permits?

After some consideration, thought and looking at the ammo available around here - gonna run with the 6.5 CM for a new rifle. A little research showed that with similar bullets, the 6.5 CM and 7mm-08 are basically identical out to 500 yds. I just can't readily get the 7mm-08 ammo around here -...

Getting tired of shooting 30-06 - I shoot 243 a lot better and ultimately shot my muley this year with the 243. What I didn't like was the buck shrugging off a high shoulder shot - 100 gr Federal blue box soft point at 215 yards. Upon cleaning him, there was a pencil-punch hole in the shoulder...

I had never been to CO but heard good stuff about a unit and decided to go. My almost 80 yo dad wanted to go and a buddy from NY. The weather turned cold while we were there - dropped from 70 to 17 during the day. Windy enough for dad to stay in tent with heater going. Got 2-4 inches of...

Seen Randy Newberg standing on a rock calling with a cow call tube. Does that stuff really work? What kind of tube cow call works? If you look for the general discussion hearing aid post you'll find I can't hear. I'd only do it out of it working otherwise I'm fine just sitting there. Same...

I'm new to wanting to hunt CO. Looking at a unit with a lot of private land - some of the public parcels are "checkerboard". In WY there needed to be a numbered public road to drive to public land, if it wasn't a numbered road you were trespassing. Sure cut out a lot of public land with that...

I see harvests of 10-20% being norm, some places boast 40-50%. What is it that makes them so tough? Is it the large areas, steep mountains, long legs? What is it?

Can you guys help point me in the right direction for a WY DIY public land early season cow elk archery hunt? I'm not afraid of research, asking questions, or walking/climbing, etc. I lost 35 pounds and got in much better shape to do the antelope hunt and could probably lose another 20 or...

I'm in the dark down here in FL - able to keep my freezer frozen but it brought up a real concern... How to keep my antelope iced-down. Is ice readily available in towns during hunting season? Dry ice a requirement? I'll be driving & riding 30 hrs, so should be able to get some ice along...

This is a first trip for me. Have a couple doe tags. Say I set up on a doe group at first light on opening day and shoot the biggest one - what are the others gonna do? Will they spook and run for miles? Run 100-200 yards and look back? Stand there and go what just happened? This is at...

After 35 years of wanting to go (including a failed attempt), I have doe antelope tags in WY. DIY difficult access unit here I come... LOL! Feels good to be getting that one off the very short bucket list I have. Cow elk is next - 2018. Where? WY, CO, UT come to mind. Any reason I...

Can anyone help with some comments or recommendations? I'm from Florida and trying to plan a 2018 week-long trip to the Kenai Peninsula - figure the short schedule does not allow for a lot of hopping around. Also having trouble getting responses cause I'm asking about 2018 and the 2017 season...

I applied for Unit 1 for doe tags. Talked to Game Warden - he said he thought I and partner could get a few antelope. First trip - not a trophy thing, an experience life kind of thing. No one talks about Unit 1. Wondering about the crowds and availability of animals. Anyone care to share...
