    Expo 2023

    Yea what the deer tags went for 😳. It was not only the anteloper island tag.. The show is a good time I was able to talk w and meet most of the Eastmans crew as well as a bunch of other old friends, new friends, and mulie fanatics. Honestly I did not know this many hunters even existed.. My...

    WYOMING 90/10 UPDATE | The best blog you'll read all year! - by Guy Eastman

    Literally every single mule deer hunter I know is seeing a big kill off of the older age class and younger age class in Colorado. Every single one…… Only a idiot or someone w a agenda would see it differently.. CPW continues to be of sh@$z… Like I have said I think it is unrealistic for...

    How did everyone's hunt go this year is it what you expected and are you going to change your plans for next year?

    Looks like a lot of sucess out there this year. For me a bad injury kept me out of the hills for the most part this summer as it is a long recovery I am still working on. Class III mcl tear = it tore off femur at insertion as well vertical and horizonal tears. Yea ruined my year in a lot of...

    Secondary Draw

    Draw odds are out. Non resident youth drew over 60% of the tags in some good units. That is just silly. Resident youth deserve 80-20 split or something needs to change. Pretty clear CPW sure does hate us resident hunters… Stat link below...

    Investments - what has served you well?

    Property and rentals… Air b&b or long term nice to be in dc for the week and see rentals booking. Restaurant in the right area. Say what you want but bitcoin has worked out very well over the past decade.. Depending on where you are nothing beats real estate.

    WY 90/10 Deer/Elk/Antelope Question

    It will be interesting what dominoes fall after 90-10 for wyo. I first hand heard the cpw tell the a group working on allocation that the cpw and Colorado is so money flush we don’t need to worry about nr license sales when it comes to allocation. The working group came back w a...

    Colorado Primary Draw Results will be Posted Online May 31-June 3

    Bear and first season bull for the wife. Hope for a 4 th season cow for my father. 16 points was not enough for my uncles 3rd season buck tag where we grew up hunting. Maybe 17 will be next year. Interesting but my father drew the same unit 4th in 2019 w 18. In the same unit nr friends did...

    WY 90/10 Deer/Elk/Antelope Question

    I would have been a 3 rd generation wyomingite but my grandfather decided to move to central Colorado in the early 40’s just after my father was born. Who can blame him as Aspen and the Roaring Fork valley is just a bit nicer place to exist than Rock Springs or even Alpine 😂 for that matter. ...

    Summer Scouting

    Some places there has not even been 1 case of cwd found or I concur w Scott’s opinion that the later seasons are misguided as best. Hope to see some pushback during the next 5 year for getting a more normal season structure. What mallard saw is correct or guys are not actually killing all big...

    Summer Scouting

    I hope to start about July 1. Only 6 weeks away at this point so getting here fast. As usual I hope to get in about 20-25 days scouting for mulies.. Getting to be less and less deer every year. Easy winters help but hunting them on Thanksgiving easily erases any gains a easy winter would...

    Does it makes sense anymore?

    Tim also makes a very valad point that there is a lot more to do in the hills than hunt.. Rivers and water in the frozen state take more of my time than I care to admit. Some guys love whatever their choice of “endless summer” is but for me I need a balance of activities that cycle through...
