This is my first archery tag here and was wondering if I will be hurting myself by hunting the last week of the season? I could make the hunt anytime during the season but it works a little better for my schedule to go the first week of September. I will not be able to make a pre season...

My 12 year old daughter drew the youth hunt on a WMA not far from our house. This was her first turkey hunt and the hunt is only for 1 day. Didn?t hear a peep all morning until about 9:30 while we were setup on a food plot. After an hour and a half I decided we needed to make a move on them...

So we had grilled chicken for supper that my wife bought on sale. During our meal my 6 year old asks ?Who killed this chicken?? Wife replied ?We bought it from the store?. Son said ?What?!? You can buy meat from the store?? The freezer is getting low... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wondering if anyone would recommend a good place to camp just northwest of Thermopolis. We will be chasing antelope and it is my wife?s first hunting trip in Wyoming. I would like to camp a few nights if it?s not too uncomfortable for her. A place to fish nearby would be great! Thanks...

My oldest son Easton, who will be 7 in a couple weeks, shot his first deer yesterday afternoon. The youth week opened yesterday in Louisiana for our area. Still hard for me to put into words how I feel. First deer he has ever shot at. A couple practices with his moms .243 had him shooting a...

I wanted to take the time to thank all of the Eastman's Forum Members and Staff for helping me get started hunting the West. Truly, a childhood dream. Growing up in the south with ONE big game species to hunt, I could not even imagine how much longer the learning curve would be without your...

Watched this buck most of the day before the opener and woke up to zero visibility opening day. After sitting in the my tent until 4:00pm the fog lifted and we took off. Spotted him in his bed shortly after reaching our glassing spot. Got setup and waited him out. He finally stood and...

Wondering if someone could tell me what I am doing wrong. I have tried to use the offline maps mode for the app with my iPhone 2 times in 2 different states and each time I lose phone service and switch to offline maps I can't view the map. I have saved the maps at the house as instructed with...

I have decided to make this years turkey destination NM and CO. I usually make a trip somewhere different every spring and hunt a couple different states. Last year was WY and SD. The goal is to kill a long beard in all 49 states that have them. Looks like I will be able to get away the last...

Filled our SD turkey tags and still have a couple days left to hunt with WY tags. Wondering if anyone knows anywhere in northeast WY that would take a trespass fee for a turkey? We will probably hit some public land but thought I would see if we could get on some private with only a couple days...

Anyone ever hunted with Chappell Guide Service? Thinking about using them for my late rifle elk hunt. Not sure which unit yet either 9 or 19A. He said they were confident in either unit. Seems like both are pretty tough during the late rifle hunt for different reasons so I think I'm going to...

Well I'm back from my general elk hunt with a tag still in my backpack. After returning to work and reviewing vacation, I may be able to take off the first week of November. Since the general tag in area 37 is any any elk tag and does not close until the 5th, I could return with 4 days to...

Think I'm getting pretty close to finalizing my pack list and here is what I have for food. Hoping you guys would look it over and give me your thoughts. Thanks for any input! 15.55oz. 2,350cal. per day Breakfast -Honey Stinger waffle 1oz. 160cal. -Wilderness Athlete strawberry meal...

There will be 5 for sure and possibly 6 of us making a trip to western Wyoming this fall. 2 of us have elk tags and the rest should draw general deer tags in the area with their points. This will be our 3rd trip to WY in as many years but the first time for a true backpack hunt. We had success...

Anyone have any experience using Altitude Advantage from Wilderness Athlete? Since I live about as close to see level as you can get, I am thinking about trying it out on my elk hunt this fall. We will probably be around the 9-10.5K range but the elk will ultimately decide that. Vacation time...

I had the pleasure of being with my nephew this morning for his first buck. My brother is working 7/12's right now and could not hunt. Awesome kid and he has put a lot of time in this year. It finally came together on the last weekend he had to hunt.

They extended our youth hunt this year in La. to 1 week. Good thing for us. It's usually just a weekend but since I had to work the weekend, we didn't get to go. I was ready and waiting when she got off the bus yesterday afternoon. As soon as her homework was finished (my wife made us wait)...

Does CO normally send a separate refund check for each species? I received my elk refund last week but nothing for deer. Was this a mistake or normal? I usually just put in for deer so I'm used to only getting one check.

Well first of all I would like to thank all of you that helped me put this hunt together. First trip out west and this hunt most likely would not have been a success without the help of the people on this forum. Most of you know who your are but many may not even know how much you helped, so...

Has anyone ever experienced any problems with people stealing or messing with their camp while away hunting for antelope/mule deer for the day?
