I spend the majority of M-F, 8am to 5pm, in an office. Anyone have any unique work out ideas that can be done throughout the day in a small office?

My oldest son recently took our state approved hunter safety course. One part of the course deals with safe shots to take on game animals. The following picture was used as an example of an unsafe shot to take. My son answered it "correctly" but the overall reaction in the room was that while...

Wanted to Buy- I'm looking to pick up a used Leupold or comparable range finder. I want something capable of ranging an animal at 4-500 yards. Guessing that will take an 800 or 1000 yard model. I DO NOT want one with angle compensation or any other fancy gadgets. It will be used on flat...

What is your biggest hunting mistake that you feel someone else can learn from? I think I have learned more from my mistakes through the years than I have from anywhere else. My biggest mistake was my second elk hunt ever. I was 16 years old. I took a shot at a young bull elk that I was sure...

Just found out I have a fractured wrist. I have never had an injury like this and looking for any advice out there on actual recovery time to be able to archery hunt. I drew a great elk tag and am now a bit nervous about where my abilities will be come September. Any of you had a similar...

To celebrate the draw deadline in Wyoming I'll post one more for the combo hunters. Both were officially scored but for this game we will only be looking for gross score. Archery antelope taken in area 55 My first good mule deer- the hidden back fork is almost identical to the other side...

Guess the score threads are fun for me so I thought I would put one out there for everyone else- I'll post the score in a day or two.

In reading many posts on here about hunting out west, I have heard a good portion of the hunters say they can't pull off a scouting trip for one reason or another. I have limited vacation time myself so taking a fall hunting trip uses half of my vacation. In the past I felt guilty for wanting...

Those are the 2012 numbers. The MRS does not show the 2013 success rates, but if you to the Wyoming Game and Fish website you can see them. The dropoff from 2012 to 2013 scared me off a little bit. Please keep in mind the weather last year. I'll tag on a picture of my antelope hunt. It was...

IMO the 17HMR and 22mag are light when it comes to killing power on coyotes, bobcats, and foxes. Yes it will kill them but possibly after running a ways with no blood trail. I use a 223 with the smaller 40 grain vmax loads. I have yet to have a bad exit wound since I switched to these. I...

Wyoming Bull Examples This is an example of a young bull. This is a typical bull that is harvested in the state. A bull of this size can be a herd bull in some general areas with decent hunting pressure. I'm no expert but I'm guessing his age at 3. This is an example of a mature...

IMO you should keep banking points for your trophy hunt some day and draw an easy area to hunt with your dad now. Put in for an area like 61 as a first choice, and then a guaranteed draw for second choice. If you don't draw your 61 tag, you keep your points and you still get to hunt with him...

I have a couple more in the works but here are 2 that I really like. The deer is a little generic but I haven't seen this style of plaque before. He was an archery buck so my taxidermist made the plaque to fit the archery theme. The bobcat was a custom form made by my taxidermist. He was a...

That was my wife's buck! She is still talking about how she beat me.... I think it will help keep her interest up going forward. My buck is on the left. It actually scores higher than hers but she will never know that... My sons buck was actually with the largest herd of does- 40 to 50...

For those of you that have been on guided hunts- "How much did you tip on your last hunt and what did the hunt cost?" He doesn't need opinions on how much people think is right he is just writing a paper on the industry.

I just got this back from my taxidermist. My wife, and my son and I all took Wyoming bucks last year. It was their first time hunting out west. I had this made as a way to remember the hunt. The picture doesn't do it justice- It looks awesome. Just thought I would post it on here in case...

I have a jar full of elk ivory that I feel is just kind of going to waste. I'm looking for ideas to use these little gems in one way or another. I don't ever wear rings so that is out for me... Anyone out there have unique or cool ideas? Send pictures if you can.

Looking for opinions on the scope that comes with the savage youth combo. It is a Nikon BDC 3x9. I called Nikon and they said it is the Prostaff model. Anyone has any problems with theirs? This is on a 7mm-08 rifle. Thanks in advance...

My wife and I are hunting private land elk this fall in Wyoming. I drew a blue chip tag and my wife wanted to go along and shoot a cow elk. She has limited experience hunting- one doe deer and one Wyoming antelope last fall. I bought her a new savage youth combo rifle in 7mm-08. The hunting...
