    Just curious!!

    I get one mailed to me when I draw successfully. I have one from 2019. I'll let you know if I get one for 2020, as I do have a deer tag.

    Leupold CDS suggestions

    I have the CDS Turrets on all my rifles. In my opinion, if you are shooting 500 yards or less, you are not going to really see much difference. At extreme ranges , I don't know because I don't shoot beyond 500 yds.

    Magazine restrictions?

    Just looked at the regs and found nothing pertaining to magazines. Only calibers allowed. I\The regs say mention that firearms that are legal on your homestate are also legal in Wy. I would call them for sure.

    Favorite mule deer bullet?

    I use Reloader 25 in my Wby. But my Weatherby is not a factory rifle. A friend of my Dad's got too old to hunt and gave me the rifle. It was bought from a custom smith in the early 60's. It has a commercial Mauser action. When I got it the barrel was gone so I rebarreled it with a Shilen...

    Favorite mule deer bullet?

    Like JimP...one bullet, one load. Been shooting that way since I started reloading over 60 years ago.

    Favorite mule deer bullet?

    For over 50 years I have used Sierra Game Kings in my 25-06 and my .257 Wby (117 gr BT Game Kings) for deer and antelope. In my 30-06 I also use Sierra Game Kings (150 gr BT).

    When purchasing a license

    I wonder how they track a convicted poacher who has been banned from hunting in the "compact" states.

    6.5 To kill an elk?

    Do the comparison with the .300 Wby and 180 gr bullets. Much better ballistics than a 30-06 with 178gr bullets. Here is the deal.....dead is dead no matter what it is shot with. My handloads (mv 3250) with 180 noslers kills them dead out to 500 yards (that's as far as I will shoot) holding dead...

    When purchasing a license

    First I've heard of that. No SS# required here in Colorado. You do have to show a driver's license or provide it's number if buying on line.

    Monsoons Have Started.

    Looks like our monsoon season has started. I woke up to rain this am. Rained the last 2 days in the afternoon. Forecast is for clouds/rain for the next 5 days. We need the moisture for sure. All you archery hunter, come prepared for afternoon thunder, lightning and rain next month.

    Social media affects

    I totally agree with Hilltop 100%. I have passed on information, sometimes very specific information to members I trust via PM. There are some circumstances that justify it IMO. When it takes a massive amount of points to draw a unit and I drew it, knowing that at my age (78), I will never be...

    Moon phase and mule deer

    My experience is that mule deer are nocturnal most of the year, winter excepted. I have probably 100 to 150 mulies around my place and except for when there's snow on the ground, they feed early evening, all night and early morning. Weather plays a big role too. Wind, rain and snow will change...

    Wyoming unit 115

    I've hunted it several times, but always on private prop. Not the numbers of animals as other units, but I've seen some good bucks. The roads , as mentioned, can be a bitch.

    Thor Bullets

    My cousin plans on using Sabots in it, so I figured someone could use them. Man have they gone up in price!
