    2021 WY Bill for Tag Increases

    I am down to 2 PP on elk. I used my deer and antelope points 2020. I think I will set out this year on buying any points. I like to fish. May just readjust my priorities. I made 4 trips to Wyoming since 2017. Spent a good amount of money at motels, restaurants, gas stations, grocery...

    2021 WY Bill for Tag Increases

    Who is the author of this bill? Who is backing It? It is poorly written and leaves so many gaps it is scary. This will open the door for big class action law suit. I look forward to following this. If passed Wyoming will be liable for running one of the largest scams on hunters. What will...

    2021 WY Bill for Tag Increases

    I can say if this passes I will no longer hunt Wyoming. The quality of areas I can draw a tag every 2 to 3 years does not justify the cost. I would like to get in one general elk hunt in my life, but not going to pay the price listed on that bill. I guess when I get forced out of nonresident...

    90/10 tag allocation

    I do not think Wyoming could afford to go to a 90/10. Unless residence are will to 4 times current tag prices.

    90/10 tag allocation

    Guys this will be a bigger deal than fist glance. It would under current Antelope draw numbers open up 34 hunt codes to nonresidents. These 34 hunt codes were not a possible draw prior, but now will all issue at least one NR tag.

    90/10 tag allocation

    Unless NM adds more hunt dates or codes, but that was my thinking as well.

    90/10 tag allocation

    I received an email from a outfitter today wanting me to donate to cause. Stated New Mexico has legislation to go to 90/10 tag allocation and do away with the outfitter pool. Current is 6% NR and 10% outfitter if I understand correct. This would be a big hit to the outfitters of NM. It is...

    Harvest Data report

    The antelope number are viewable now. Numbers are way down for the area I hunted 21. I still think to high even though the big drop. 2020 limited 1 278 at 59.4% D/F 215 at 66.6%. 2019 limited 1 370 at 77.9% D/F 205 at 55.1% 2018 limited 1 423 at 90.2% D/F at 282 79.2% I know 13 or...

    Hunting Solo?

    When I was much younger I had some of those fears. Then about 20 years ago all those worries went away. If I am going to depart this world it would be best to happen doing something I love so much. Plus it would give all the people something to remember me by. "You know ole Mark don't you"...

    Hunting Solo?

    Don't you think it is about time to tie the knot with her. 33 years is a long time to keep her waiting.

    Wyoming Lion Hunt

    Cure to any questionable meat is to wrap in bacon and put on the smoker low and slow. Plenty BBQ sauce will make about anything pretty good.

    Vortex Diamondback spotting scope

    Just for update I purchased this spotting scope. I have no experience with other brands. I have used it a few times on hunts out West. It did a good job and for the money (less than $250.00). When I first got it I went to the river bottoms where I can see open distance. I was able to spot...

    30-06, 270 Win, 243 Win, or 30-30 available.

    I went to the shooting range this weekend to sight in my new scope for a upcoming hunt this spring. Did not occur until later I was there for a couple hours. Not another single person was there. I guess no one has ammo to shoot.

    30-06, 270 Win, 243 Win, or 30-30 available.

    I am offering to trade a box of 20 of any of these rounds even for a guided Elk Hunt. Dang when can we expect to be able to buy hunting ammo?

    Oklahoma Rep Introduces Bill for Bigfoot Hunting Season

    Well this is about what I would expect from an elected official. Who by the way is to look out for your interest. Some may see it as funny. I see it as the same ole waist of tax dollars.
