    Pack weight? Who weighs theirs and how much?

    I'm a pack geek and a spreadsheet geek, too. A number of years ago after going on a 7 day hunt, 8 miles into the Wind River Range in WY with a 65 lb pack (without water, mind you), I made it my mission to lighten up the load with better gear. Over the course of a few trips and spreadsheet...

    Broadheads, the only part that matters

    What a great thread of broadhead pics and info. We were just at the ATA show in Indy last week and saw some cool new heads that some of the companies are coming out with. Lots of designs over the years but it all boils down to whatever works in your setup, be that trad bow or modern!

    Rethinking Deer Gun

    It is a tough choice....so many good calibers to choose from. The 6.5 Creedmoor is tough to beat for most North American big game and it has very little recoil. I do love my .30-06 though. I love having one gun that can do it all and the -06 is it. I don't reach out and touch things from a...

    Removed from Gene Pool

    A freaky one for sure. I'd be curious what his teeth look like also. I'm guessing he's just a genetically inferior animal but who knows.

    West side of the Bighorns mountain mule deer

    Ya, things aren't good up on the Bighorns for deer and haven't been for a long time. To add to it, a recent report from the WY Game & Fish said they confirmed CWD presence in unit 50. Between that and all the deer units being general and most of the elk units being limited quota, it feels like...

    Antelope success thread

    I have a random question for everyone on this thread (nice bucks, btw): does anyone hunt doe antelope in WY? I usually do each year and the seasons get more and more frustrating. A lot of the units have stipulations that the does can only be harvested within 1/2 mile of irrigated land, I'm...

    The 2019 Elk Success Thread

    My son got his first elk this year. I was one proud papa! He drew a great limited quota tag and so did I. I bowhunted hard and was on several bulls so we hit the same area opening morning of rifle and he made short work after Todd called in this bull into the same basin we were in. What a...

    The 2019 Mule Deer Success Thread!

    Nice buck JimP! You're right...DIY trophy shots are tricky. I'm hoping to get out bowhunting in my home state one more time to chase the grey ghost....my favorite thing in the world to hunt!

    Summer time fun!

    Took this pic, too, hiking back from fishing with our good friend. Lighting was sweet with Indian Paintbrush in the foreground.

    Update on Colorado Deer Rifle Table in EBJ

    Hey everyone, this is Brandon Mason and I noticed an error in the CO MRS that I wrote this year in the deer tables on pages 80 & 81 of EBJ i88. It was a copy and paste error when arranging the rows in the tables and I noticed it when I was planning my own application strategy for CO. In the...
