    Rethinking Deer Gun

    I used to make stocks ( over 100) and am a huge proponent of proper stock fit. Most (if not all) factory stocks are designed and made to fit the "average person"......whatever the hell that is! Less felt recoil and better accuracy are both possible with a stock that fits the shooter. Length of...

    What do you do with your horns/antlers?

    I also tried making buttons out if them. Sliced them and drilled small holes used to sew on. But didn't last too long as the repeated washing of the shirt weakened the marrow and the buttons pulled off.

    Anyone ever done a "safari-style" hunt in Wyoming?

    You are correct. When I did it years ago, I was applying for tags of the same species. Still something to keep in mind.

    Anyone ever done a "safari-style" hunt in Wyoming?

    When you apply for the type 6 tag, you have the option of not applying for the type 6 tag if you don't draw the buck tag. Has to be done together when applying.

    What do you do with your horns/antlers?

    Just wondering what everybody does with the horns/antlers after you got your animal. I have a 60 year collection that I have in my garage. I have mounted some and used some for drawer handles and knife handles. Here is whats in my garage.

    2020 Family WY Antelope Hunt

    Why not start with a type 6 doe/fawn tag to start with. You can get another point for everyone (no point are used for the type 6 tag), scout the country for a future buck hunt and bring home some meat. I hunt does quite a bit while building points for another buck hunt and they are very cheap...

    How Young Is Too Young (To Hunt)

    I have to disagree with some of the things you say in the first paragraph. I taught Hunter Safety with my Dad for 25 years. We got some kids whose parents were not hunters and would never hunt. These kids had friends who were hunters and had to pass the test to be able to hunt with their friends...

    How Young Is Too Young (To Hunt)

    Some states take it out of the parents hands by having a minimum age to hunt big game. I was born and raised in California and it was 12 years old there. Hunter safety is a different situation as there is really no minimum age that I am aware of. My Dad and I taught HS and we took kids as young...
