    WYOMING UNIT 75

    Depends on what's your definition of "decent". You should never have a problem getting a mid 70's buck. Look at the post in this classification about this years success. It's post #13 and there are several pictures of the 3 bucks we took and we did it in 2 days, but we aren't too picky. We...

    Let the gov't goat slaughter begin!

    Similar situation in Rocky Mt. NP in Colorado. It is overrun with elk and the NP Service hires people (I'll not call them hunters) to shoot elk and pays them. It is absolutely stupid to totally ban hunting in the National parks. They could make a lot of $$$ selling tags!

    WYOMING UNIT 75

    I've hunted 75 quite a few times. The only downside I know of is there is quite a bit of private land in the unit, and a lot of it does not participate in the walk-in program. I hunt a different unit now just to the south of 75. In the last 20 years, I have hunted after the opening weekend...

    .416's w/ 350gr TSX @~2700fps?

    I don't want to tick anybody off, but using a 340, 375 or 416 seems to me a little bit of overkill for deer sized game. IMHO you don't need anything bigger than .30 caliber. A lot easier on the shoulder and pocketbook.

    Danner boot question

    I have a set of shoe/boot stretchers. They are wooden and adjust for width. Simple to use and not expensive. They work well.

    2 trips planned for now. A week fishing for Halibut, Salmon and bottom fish in Alaska and a week or so at Blue Mesa Res here in Colorado. Lots of local fishing too.

    Decline in moose preference point purchases?

    I quit applying for Colorado points for moose several years ago. I had enough to enter the draw (3), but realized at my age the odds were really stacked against me. Never applied for Moose in Wy. In fact, as of this year, the only out of state point I am buying will be antelope. Used my max...

    WY Antelope Unit Info

    I disagree with the ability to get the best chance at a bigger buck by going into the special draw. You need to look at the odds to draw the tag. I have used the special once with max points and didn't draw. If I would have did the regular draw, I would have drawn the tag I was looking for. You...

    Could of would of should of!

    Wow, I missed this post when it first showed up! I was born into a hunting, fishing and an outdoor family. I am 78 and started hunting when there was no such thing as "points". OTC tags were there everywhere and in all states. Some states setup special areas for limited draw, but no points. By...

    Dog House’s

    I built one. It was insulated and dry. Used it for all of my previous dogs. But my current Lab is totally house broken, sleeps on her pad in our mud room. I also have an outside kennel that is 20' x30' that I keep her in during the summer.

    What The New Year Brings...looking forward and backward too!

    2020 a new year is almost here. What am I looking forward to: A Wyoming deer hunt with some forum friends. Been invited and am excited. Improving my health outlook. I am 78 and it has been found I have sleep apnia. Hate the device, but seems to help. Realizing I am not getting any younger...
