    Wolves

    Well this is an interesting development. We often see legal cases in species delisting or when a state updates hunting regulations on a previously protected species. I wonder how long the court proceedings will go on for the Colorado wolf reintroduction...

    WY 2023 Hunting Season Proposals

    I guess the winter-kill and pneumonia wasn’t enough. The Wyoming game and fish department found a deer with Chronic Wasting Disease. https://wgfd.wyo.gov/News/CWD-found-in-new-Wyoming-deer-hunt-area-(3)

    Bowhunting Brown Bear Very Close

    Wow I can’t believe how close they were. Wasn’t sure if bear was going to turn and give him a shot.

    2023 Utah Draw Happening

    Congratulations to all that drew Utah tags. I got my general archery deer tag. No on the limited entry elk and mountain goat tag. Probably for the better as I’m retiring from Army and finding a new job.

    WY 2023 Hunting Season Proposals

    Someone else might have better memory or information if it’s happened before. Certainly not to the magnitude we’re seeing with Wyoming pronghorn. In 2018 the bighorn sheep herd on Antelope Island in Utah suffered a die off from pneumonia. Many other states or provinces have had bighorn die...

    WY 2023 Hunting Season Proposals

    Wyoming still adjusting the Pronghorn tag numbers as more data comes in. Also information gathered from field observations. The combined effects of the winter and the Mycoplasma bovis–induced pneumonia were far more devastating then probably anyone could have imagined...

    Proposed Utah permits

    https://www.ksl.com/article/50614801/deer-populations-rebounding-in-utah-but-state-seeks-fewer-hunting-permits-in-2023 I was a bit surprised by some of the proposed tag suggestions like buck antelope tags going up. Link in the news story for anyone that wants to attend region meeting. Also the...

    Wildfire Thoughts

    Lots of great information in this conversation. New growth areas after fires can definitely be productive areas to hunt with plant shuts and young trees for feeding. Then find the closet cover and you will probably find some elk, deer or other game animals hanging out. With all the snow and...

    Grizzly delisting, will it ever happen?

    https://www.jhnewsandguide.com/news/environmental/local/feds-wyo-split-over-hagemans-bill-to-delist-grizzlies/article_5c5e808a-305e-5b77-b320-91892d95098f.html I think Wyoming(also Idaho and Montana) have a good plan in place based on facts and data. While the federal organizations involved...

    Western WY Antelope & Deer Dying

    https://cowboystatedaily.com/2023/03/20/half-of-antelope-in-rawlins-red-desert-could-die-as-brutal-winter-hammers-wyoming-wildlife/ I think as more surveys are conducted and data comes in then more areas will have reduced tags or be closed all together.

    GA Hunter Attacked by Dogs

    That’s sounds crazy for the amount of dogs in rural areas. Then these getting out or going feral whatever the case was. In Utah I expect to see coyotes, black bears and mountain lions depending were I am at. When I’m Wyoming you can add wolves and grizzly bears. Definitely agree with always...

    My Mounts are Getting Closer

    They look great. Not sure why but the warthog looks really cool to me, maybe its all the tusk's? I am excited to see the euro mounts when you get those back.

    GA Hunter Attacked by Dogs

    Pretty crazy situation, hope he makes a quick and full recovery. Being attacked by domestic dogs would probably be one of the last scenarios on my mind when I am out in woods.

    First Aid Kits

    Like most others on this thread I carry one first aid in my pack and one in my vehicle. Hopefully they never get used but, being in a bad situation in the wilderness without one always worries me.

    Big time Poacher Bust

    What a frustrating and upsetting situation that some people feel the need to cheat and scam the system and for what? To hang some mounts on the wall? These poaching cases unfortunately give real hunters/outdoorsman a bad image, as some non hunters will read the story and assume every hunter is...
