    Area 99...

    I would definitely suggest going forest if you are going to be there in archery or early rifle season, but if you can go late (like the last week of rifle) I think you'd have a better time finding bulls out of the Wilderness. The timber in there can be dirty nasty with deadfall, but if you run...

    92 Whitetails

    I live here and kill whitetail does every fall. It’d be best to call WGFD and get some private access, then plan on timing the first part of the rut when whitey bucks are cruising. Helped a buddy kill a nice whitetail buck a couple of years ago and like Nov 6-8 was money. I’d say quality and...

    Big Bear & Scoring Skulls?

    In case anyone was curious, WGFD just posted my bear's tooth age. That big ol sucker was 12.3 years old! Just an ancient old guy.

    Thanks Scott! Hopefully we see some bucks hitting the ground up north after this storm system comes through!

    2022 Eastmans' Deer Success Thread / Journal Submission

    We had a helluva opening weekend here locally in WY. My brother and I doubled, both taking our best bucks. By some crazy chance, I found my target buck in the herd AFTER my brother dropped his deer. Then, my lady got a great 3-pt Sunday night. Admittedly we mistook it for another buck at last...

    Big Bear & Scoring Skulls?

    I am right there with ya man. It's more just for my own dang reference because bears are so hard to compare one to another. He's not gonna get entered. He misses book by 1/4" even while green, but that's all right. Still as good a bear as I would ask for. Makes me feel like I shot a 175" buck or...

    Big Bear & Scoring Skulls?

    Gotta get me a set! Unfortunately, I measured him 10 ways to Sunday already and I’m thinking calipers might not make him grow. 😉

    Big Bear & Scoring Skulls?

    Haha. You mean this one when I let my heavy pack turtle me on the ground? 😂

    Big Bear & Scoring Skulls?

    Found myself a dang nice bear a couple of weeks back. Now that I've got the skull all cleaned up, I'm figuring based on my rough estimation he could make the Book. I was curious if anyone on here knows some B&C measuring tricks to make sure I'm getting the right readings? I know guys like...

    Didn't Draw Wyo Elk? Here's another shot!

    The Wyoming Wildlife Federation is raffling another Commissioner Tag this year, which gives the holder their choice of any deer or elk or antelope hunt that's open in the state! This one is LOADED with 5 killer prizes, like a Stag Arms rifle, Maven rangefinder, and others. Plus, if we can sell...

    App Results Coming Soon *Via Email*

    Welp, got an email from the Wyoming Game and Fish Department saying they're going to send individual emails with tag results this year! Hopefully, they can prevent the system overload that normally happens when all of us hop on at 10:00 am on Thursday. Good luck in the draw! If you are unlucky...

    Harvest Data report

    I will say, archery season on public ground is good in that unit. 😉 There's a new bill to increase the Access programs like WIAs and HMAs....this area could use it for goats for sure. Plenty of them around. Clearly, as the dropping stats show, hard to get to them.

    Has anyone tried this tripod for hunting? https://www.peakdesign.com/products/travel-tripod?variant=29420893274156 Other recommendations that aren't in that mega expensive category (aka, not Outdoorsmans) would be appreciated too! I run a Vanguard VEO aluminum that just keeps breaking on me...

    2021 new gear dreams and must haves.

    Man, I'm really looking forward to getting into a Seek Outside Courthouse with a stove this year. The lady and I are gonna do some horsepacking and base camping at the car, so we wanted a bigger tent to do both.

    Harvest Data report

    Hey just figured I would point out the tooth ages got released last week, so that's cool data to check out. I'd imagine they aren't far behind with harvest reports. In reference to accuracy - when you either look at 2019 or read the 2020 reports, you can scroll all the way to the bottom of the...
