Much of what works best for you depends on what else you are packing. I put the bear spray on my pack belt when hiking with a pack, as I also have a bino harness on also. Practice rapid deployment with your buds including removal of the safety tab. You are more apt to execute what you...

I had to quit running about 17 years ago due to arthritis, but have found other ways to stay in shape. For my hunts this year, I concentrated on pack training, hiking 3 1/2 miles daily for the six weeks before my first trip. I slowly upped the weight (40# during the final week), and used...

I saw a great sweatshirt a while ago that will make a great Christmas present for your Bro-in-Law, "It'll Buff Out". I thought I would buy one to put in reserve for my next major mishap. Happy hunting Jim.

You gotta love it when a plan comes together. Don't denigrate the doe hunting, because in my experience they are often tougher to hang a tag on then the bucks.

Hunting was a lot tougher this time for our doe tags. First off, the antelope numbers seem to be way down from previous trips, this is my 4th trip in the same area since 2015. I took a 78 yr. old with mobility issues, his son who just got out of the Air Force after 24 years and missed all those...

Nothing wrong with that.

That's a great buck Jim. Good for you.

I just got back yesterday myself Roger. We were in central WY, and the weather definitely wasn't on our side. Nothing like some wind, sleet, snow, fog, and oh yeah, GUMBO mud to deal with. Never-the-less, a fun time was had by most. Welcome home.

I just write my post, then click on the insert image icon above. That brings up my stored gallery, and I upload the chosen image(s). It was no problem in the past, but now it shows the photos take up too much memory to post.?????? I' m heading to WY at 4:30am tomorrow, so I won't sweat it...

I have used a great outfitter a number of times in WY, but his camps are all in GEN areas. I suggest that you start your search by looking in the WY F&G statistics page for the last couple years and find a limited area that you can draw with 9 or 10 pts. Then research that area to see if it...

Thanks Marcus; yes I did get a decent bull. I will post the story and photos when I get back from my WY antelope hunt. I took a lot of pics with a good camera, but they won't post on the new format here, so I will have to play around with it some.

Looks like you have a hunting pard for life. Just hope he isn't too diverted by the influence of the two most dangerous chemical substances out there...…. gasoline and perfume.

I was down to one package of antelope polish sausage before my CO elk hunt. Came home with 214# of freezer stuffing. I better get to eating because I expect to fill out on two antelope does next week, and a late season WY cow elk in January. We're looking at an Alaska trip next summer, so...

Well, here's a short note on not so much what I did to prepare, but rather on how well it worked out. My Colorado elk hunt started with a 6 mile hike into a high mt. lake (10,600'), 3 days of fishing and game spotting, then the hike-out. After a day in town, it was the start of the guided...

I returned from my 2 1/2 week trip out to Colorado. I saw plenty of elk, and was successful on punching my tag on a decent bull. No deer, but did find some great cut-throat trout fishing. I am leaving in a couple days for WY antelope, so will post the story with photos after my return. Happy...

Heck of a bull. You don't see many hero shots with the elk laying in a corn field. Congrats/

Even at one for three, you beat the archery odds. If your buds can find the time, I think they should definitely head back out for the rifle season. Expect more hunters and some more snow, so it may seem like an entirely different hunt. The successful hunter may want to tag along too...he can...

Final update on the Crispi Valdres: After wearing the boots every day for six weeks and hiking 150 miles with a pack in prep for my Colorado trip, I finally took them out west. I packed through some really rugged, crappy, and high elevation trails, and also a fair amount of bushwacking. I...

That's quite a deal...is the 70# bow also used? I am not a bow hunter, but did work in that direction a few years ago. I am right handed, but left eye dominant, and have had some right shoulder issues. So, I went to a local bow shop and shot a bunch of different set-ups and had no difficulty...

I prefer character over size, but your bull has plenty of both. Congrats on a well earned (can I say it?) trophy.
