Some are likely mistakes but I know of a couple guys just jumping out of the game and wanted to burn their points.

They are discussing deer, elk, and antelope as well. I just noticed it is added to the discussion. Discussing "private landowner matters" is the most concerning language to me. Transferrable landowner tags would be bad for residents and non-residents alike. Hoping that is met with strong...

Can't hold them all at once!

If you are going guided, 108 should be a consideration. You are a point or so short for the areas I would recommend for DIY.

I can appreciate your ambition but there is no need to hike in for days at a time. That area has plenty of public land and access. I would suggest you get the OnX app for your phone or a GPS unit to make sure you stay on public land. Use your vehicle to check from area to area and short hikes...

I started both of my boys with a single shot 22 at 5 years old. My first gun I owned was a break action .410. I believe I was 10 years old.

Opportunistic meat hunter. I enjoy all weapons, all seasons, and any species I have a tag for. I love packing in but also really enjoy spot and stalk from a pickup. Tree stands in the whitetail woods are almost as enjoyable as belly crawling the desert for antelope- I just like to hunt...

Took a bunch of kids out over the weekend. My 8 year old niece caught this big gill - 11.25". I switched to large bass worm hooks to avoid catching the smaller fish- worked well. The kids caught 100+ fish but I didn't get many pictures as it was a rare time one didn't need a little help.

I feel the same. A bonus point system isn't great but it would be a whole lot better than 90/10 with the current PP system. Going to this would also likely keep up PP revenue for the state. I would still rather they offer to allow transfer of big 5 points to another species. At this point, I...

I am a non resident. I oppose a blanket 90/10 but... I have several resident friends who would gladly trade their 3-6 tags for one they have been trying to draw for 10+ years. I get the principal behind it. Stinks to apply for a tag that you can't draw but me as a non resident have drawn it...

It's not looking good from a moisture standpoint. I would still guess there will be some 80" bucks roaming if a guy puts the time in. On a year like this, I would be there 2-3 days early to scout so you can be on one of them opening morning.

As a non resident I have come to terms with 90/10 and the big 5. It's inevitable... I do think we see a change in the draw process as well though. To keep PP revenue up, a bonus system will be about the only way to maintain interest.

Cook really slow to 130F, rest and then reverse sear. They turn out amazing but it takes a while.

I'm running really low on steaks... My bull was fantastic from last season so he has been on the menu frequently. This steak was from a couple nights ago.

I guess I embrace the back country experience knowing that I am on my own- having something like that would take something away from the experience for me. Not faulting anyone that does it, the thread just surprised me as those thoughts just don't cross my mind.

For a DIY with 5 points, general is your best option for a chance at a mature bull. That said, a first time elk hunter hunting in a general high pressure area has a very low probability of shooting a big bull. If you want to fill the tag, shoot the first legal elk you get a chance at. With...

Mare's tail - Hippuris vulgaris

3 main goals this year- #1 help my son during his first year of archery deer hunting. Baseball will be over in about a week so our #1 focus will be to get him into good form and build shooting confidence over the next 2-3 months. #2 help my son on his first Wyoming hunt. We both drew any...

Here is a little more about the story for anyone who wants to dig in... I think the guy walked away from his life personally. https://www.outsideonline.com/2421919/paul-fugate-park-ranger-search

It pays $50 to $100 per day + tips. I have a buddy that cooks for a few hunts every year. It's pretty low stress and you can make decent money in tips if you have the right personality and can cook good food.
