    BLM beware!!

    I want to say that this interaction was the exception to about every other interaction I've had in WY, which along with MT, is the most hunter-friendly state I've been in. We're just talking about the importance of good maps and knowing where you stand.

    BLM beware!!

    Y'all should check out the Wyoming Public Land Access Guide from the BLM, everything you need to know about crossing private, corner hopping, state land lessee rights, and the rest. I got one with the maps I ordered for the unit we're hunting, plan to keep it in the truck. Maps from BLM are...

    BLM beware!!

    If you don't have the blm maps from blm, I wouldn't rely on them. If you can access blm from a county or state road you can hunt it; no one can charge you or exclude you from hunting it. Otherwise it's at the landowner's discretion to let you cross. Not unusual in the west. It's also not...

    Straight walled cartiges / Muzzleloader ONLY - The future of western hunting?

    I don't think it would make any difference. I'd bet the number of animals overall that are taken over 300 yds is in the single digits, and those hunters would just get closer. It is also a fairly sophisticated analysis to expect from our fish and wildlife agency. It doesn't have a dollar...

    Decoy for bucks

    Not optimistic huh? Might be right. No buck tag for me this year so it'll have to wait.

    altitude pills

    I've never heard of altitude pills, can't hurt I guess if they don't interact with anything. I don't change my coffee intake either. I believe conditioning is as big a factor as any. I have family/friends from back east come every year to hunt in OR or Wy at 6-8k. Those in shape do ok...

    WY pronghorn planning for my granddad

    A bit of a hijack but imo 4 WHEEL CHAINS are required equipment for these fall hunts at high elevation.

    Decoy for bucks

    Has anyone ever heard of or used coyote decoys to bring in a buck? I ask because a couple years ago we were rolling along on a 2 track, dead animal in the back, and I put my setter down to stretch his legs and take a leak . A minute or two later a buck comes screaming off a ridge 5-600yds...

    Any sign of how the antelope fared over the winter?

    That late cold made me wonder how they made out.
