    2021 Hunting Goals

    Missing park ranger since 1980

    Here is a little more about the story for anyone who wants to dig in... I think the guy walked away from his life personally. https://www.outsideonline.com/2421919/paul-fugate-park-ranger-search

    Wall Tent Camp Rental

    It pays $50 to $100 per day + tips. I have a buddy that cooks for a few hunts every year. It's pretty low stress and you can make decent money in tips if you have the right personality and can cook good food.

    How many of you will get the Covid shot?

    If you progress like me and several others I know who had it, you will feel pretty good by day 6 and completely normal by day 9 or 10.

    Wyoming NR general tags - how many point required this year ??

    I would agree... but I think people are jumping the gun on elk. The earliest 90/10 could impact anyone is 2023 and General tags would only be positively impacted IF it even passes. I think the bigger concern for some is the likely price increases that will go along with 90/10 for non...

    Wildlife task force, 90-10, etc.

    I'm a guy holding quite a few moose points. It stinks to think they may become worthless soon. That said, I am encouraged that the big push is only on the big 5 right now. I also love to hunt elk, deer and antelope so I guess I would take that trade off and lose my points if we could keep...

    Where would you move to if you had your choice of any western State to live in?

    Better be prepared mentally for this the majority of the year. Most people are not.

    Elk hunting arrows

    I shoot expandables and have had no issues on elk. My setup shoots a 425 grain arrow at 318FPS. This produces 95lbs of kinetic energy. Your 405 at 288 will work but it is on the low end of what I would consider for elk with an expandable. Your setup produces 74.5 pounds of kinetic energy...

    I used to leave mine in until one year when I had 2 different ones stolen. My legs actually thank those thieves.

    Summer Scouting?

    Late July/Early August on years I can make it work. I like to be able to see good horn development.

    Some great information above from jimss. To add, you really get bucks at their full potential when you have a buck that was born on a good moisture year, you allow him to reach full maturity, and then you hunt him on a year with above average moisture.
