    Proof of Sex Regulations - Antelope

    Basically, if you have a doe/cow tag in WY, the regs require the head or external sex organs 'accompany' the carcass/meat that's in the tag holder's possesion while in transit from the field to their home or the processor. I'll be hunting doe antelope this season and traveling pretty light on...

    Zaycon Fresh Folded

    I dunno if any of the forum members did business with Zaycon; our family did quite a bit over the last few years, we saved a lot of $$$ using them for bulk meats, never had an issue -until this week. We found out last Wednesday that they "suspended" operations. Thing is-we had over $300 in yet...

    Speer BTSP Bullet - Info/Experience

    The Speer BTSP bullet has been around a long time. As far as I know, its basic design is cup and core-its not bonded, nor is it plastic tipped-pretty old school. For an older bullet design, their ballistic coefficients compare favorably to the newer stuff. I ran across several old articles...

    Hornady EL-DX - Data/Impressions

    So, I have a big box of these in 7mm at 150 gr that I could play with for my .280 REM. Maybe we talked about these in previous threads? Doesn't hurt to share updates. [emoji6] Curious about others experiences-on the range and on game-with this bullet? Its been out for awhile. Hoping...

    Job Completion Reports

    Dunno how many folks are aware of the JCRs, what they are; if they read them? I guess I've known about them for awhile; but only recently taken them time to really read them. The WYGF Job Completion Reports, described in my own words, fall under species headings and are reports with a...

    Doe Whitetail Units?

    The application deadlines are a few weeks out. As crunch time nears, its time for me to ante up and make some final decisions. [emoji38] With there being a chance of not drawing my buck mule deer or antelope tag, I'm looking at other tag ideas for an economical, yet fun, hunting vacation...

    2018 Quotas Set

    https://wgfd.wyo.gov/News/More-opportunities-to-hunt-in-2018-compared-to-201 Maybe good news for those of us non-residents that didn't draw an elk tag; maybe a few more chances in the deer and pronghorn draws; and if you want to be a real optimist, maybe more leftovers to pick thru when that...

    Elk area 47, 48 HMA Changes?

    Was looking over the hunt planner map-'doing homework'- and it looks to me like some of the HMA and WIA in elk 47, 48 may have changed since I last looked at the map during non-res application time earlier this year. It looks like the Copper Mtn HMA is no more in unit 47; but there are 2...

    WY Antelope - 2nd and 3rd Choice Ideas

    Been mulling over starting this thread, because there are already so many threads delving into the lower tier WY antelope areas over many years of postings. Nevertheless, things can change over the years-like winterkill, WIA, and HMA access-making a discussion worthwhile, so here goes...

    Signs of Spring in the Air

    Today was the 1st day I noticed them. Raft after raft, flight after flight; of snow geese and speckle belly headed in a northeasterly dependency. This is in east-central Iowa. I just stepped out to take the trash out and you could hear yet another flight going past in the darkness. It was...

    Wyoming 2018 Deer Quotas

    So, I know winter is still on, and we have a lot of time left for winterkill issues to reach their conclusion. Spring storms can be brutal in the mountains. That being said, will the Commission release 2018 quotas ahead of the nonres tag application deadlines? A warden I spoke to over the...

    Upper Greys River - Grizzlys?

    Good evening all. How thick are the big, scary, brown bears in the Greys River drainage? I haven't knowingly hunted in a Grizzly area yet. We're considering some areas in this drainage, and I want to know what we're getting into if we apply for tags. I understand near the big park they are...

    Montana Draw - ?s

    -Starting up a thread to discuss the Montana draws- In my search for the cheapest elk tags-in reasonable areas-to get afield and actually hunt each year, I've started looking at Montana. My Wyoming application will be complete soon, but if I don't draw a type 6 tag in Wyoming (likely) I need a...

    "Official" Drainage Maps - WY

    Question here at the height of the WY elk application season for us out of staters: say, a tag stipulates: "valid only in the jackrabbit creek drainage", where could a guy find the official map the WYGF uses to define "jackrabbit creek drainage" in the context of their tag? (this is a made up...
