    Hunters First Animal

    Just my opinion... Western states helping youth isn't the issue. Demand far exceeding supply is the issue. If we are to encourage youth to hunt long term, the answer is in small game, waterfowl, and local deer hunts. Western hunts will be a special treat a few times in their life if...

    Rifle Scope

    I have been a Leupold fan most of my life. They have served me well but the last model fell a bit short of expectations. My newest rifle has a Trijicon. Jury is still out but so far its a pretty amazing scope.

    Wyoming Corner Crossing Appeal Higher Court

    Only after it rains... most landowners won't go through what this guy has and no law enforcement is going to touch it right now. Just my opinion.

    Jimmy John Kills a Monster Ram in NM

    I'm not sure I can fully celebrate the animals he gets but I sure appreciate the money he donates to conservation. A lot of good comes from the funds.

    Wyoming Cow Elk Hunts Available

    I know a couple that offer 2k but they are hotel hunts where a guy pays for everything else.. and has to draw the tag which isn't great odds. People would stand in line for 2500 cow elk hunts with a guaranteed tag.

    How to Hunt Raccoons at Night?

    First and foremost, check local regulations to make sure you follow all laws. If legal, the best method is to call them in. They can be called in during the day but at night they really respond. Spend some time on Google and you will find many callers and sounds that work.

    Wyoming Antelope

    Completely up to you but, in my opinion, there are others ways to get him out hunting without sacrificing almost a decade of preference points. If he has never hunted, I don't believe he would appreciate that kind of hunt like he would after being on a few other hunts. That said, it's a...

    75 cent bullet vs 100k plus to hire multiple range riders. Seems like an easy decision.

    New Bows???

    My bow is a 2008 model. It still shoots a 425 grain arrow 311 FPS. Not sure what a new bow can provide me?? Guessing some forgiveness maybe but I would hate to spend 1k+ on a little comfort that in the end doesn't kill any better than my current one.

    Proposal WY G&F Unlimited Elk Tags

    They struggle to sell all the cow tags in those areas as it is. The few guys with access may shoot an extra elk or two but in general this is a feel good measure that doesn't address the real issue imo. How many people really want more than 2 elk a year? Maybe a few guys like wytex and Buzz...

    Draw Process Working Group Recommendations on Primary Draw Methods & Preference Points

    I don't think there is a good answer that satisfies everyone. All sates should make sure residents have a way to hunt yearly. Residents have to be the priority but I do think that western states should be mindful of the message they send to non-residents while they take care of their...
