    A little different

    Glad to see ya back I was wondering what had happened to you. Nothing wrong with using a golf cart to get you to where you need to go either.

    Something more to ponder during application periods

    It does make it a little bit more problematic when you are talking about folks that have a day or two or more drive to get out west here. I know that on most of my out of state hunts I figure in at least driving time plus a day if I can. Even on my hunts in Arizona I try to get there a full...

    Fishing at Blue Mesa Res

    And here I thought that you were headed there for a ice fishing journey. I've been there in the winter but not summer, good luck.

    Something more to ponder during application periods

    I forgot that people actually work that are members on the forum here. (y) Back in my working days I would make a decision on where I wanted to hunt in November the year prior, this is when the vacation scheduled would make it's rounds. I would then put in for the hunts that I wanted to go one...

    Something more to ponder during application periods

    They are not doing anything different that Colorado and Utah are doing. Except that those states are now post pay but you still don't know if you have drawn until the end of May or into June. You can also do like a lot do. Put in for a lot of states and animals and then after the draws and if...

    bear spray

    In some areas that might be considered baiting.

    Another Poacher,,,

    When social media showed up it just allows the poacher a platform to brag of his so called hunting skills to post his trophy pictures. I do doubt that it is any worse now than it had been before social media. It just gives the authorities a easy platform to find them. It is a lot like when...

    Can’t make this stuff up..

    All I can say is that I am glad that there were no portable video recorders or the internet when I was in my teens and twenties. It has been long enough ago that the statute of limitations has ran out but one late afternoon we were driving on a dirt road in the hills and spotted a 2pt buck...

    Another Poacher,,,

    By there very nature they are going to poach no matter what the fine is. I and others believe that they need to start giving them some good jail time. But they won't do that due to the fact that it isn't a crime against people along with the fact that our jails are overcrowded now. Look at...

    Mountain Lion

    Sounds like a time for cross country skis then. Are they open to snow machines?

    A good book

    That was the way back in the time of "Plenty" Only take the best cuts and leave the rest. Wow that sounds like some deer and elk that I have found when the hunter who shot it just decided to take the back straps and hinds and leave the rest.

    Mountain Lion

    The first lion that I ever saw was tracking a hunter. The hunter had come over a hill and then down through some brush before he went back over the hill. The cat came along about 5 minutes later following the exact same route that the hunter had taken, that is until my brother in law shot it...

    Mountain Lion

    Tracks are easy, just drive the roads with fresh snow and look for them either crossing or walking down it.

    Mountain Lion

    There is quite a story about the two that I saw together. I was elk hunting with a friend that had never been hunting before and had zero equipment. He didn't have a tag by was just tagging along. We hiked about a mile and a half off of the road and were sitting watching a drainage when we...

    Mountain Lion

    Why do you need snowshoes? Most lions will be down with the deer where the snow isn't that deep. As for what else you need, consider lots and lots of time. I've spent more than my fair share out in lion country and I have seen 5 lions in 55+ years and 2 of them were together, and that was...

    A good book

    I have read a couple of books on the Lewis and Clark adventures and found them quite interesting. On the number of animals killed for such a relatively small party you have to remember that they had no way of preserving it except for drying it out, and that process takes time to do

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

    I wouldn't try it just because of the time. As was mentioned if you have a month then go for it but if you only plan on being out there for a week I would concentrate on just one or the other.
