I understand the frustration from NR, but I truly don’t understand the comparison to Utah. Let’s try to make as close to an apples to apples comparison between Utah and Wyoming as we possibly can…. Take the Cache general seasons( right across the border), and tell me how many Resident tags and...

It’s pretty interesting to see some of the misconceptions and lack of experience surrounding trapping & snaring, and how it fuels an emotional response from some of the members here that I have a lot of respect for. Just like any other group out there, there are some bad apples, in addition to...

I understand wanting to reduce pressure in G by regionalizing; however, I don’t necessarily agree that it will result in reducing harvest for reasons already mentioned…. I will add that from my observations, the orange army marching up the mountain the night before/morning of the opener with...

Yeah, same here. I’m a resident, and still not a fan of having a outfitter draw regardless of percentage coming off the top of NR allocation. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not anti-outfitter, but not a fan of welfare, regardless of the beneficiary. I did notice that they conveniently forgot to mention...

I agree that there was some good info there…. But was it just me, or did the conversation take a pretty drastic shift once Nesvik left the conversation? Outfitter agenda definitely seemed to steer the conversation from that point on. Honestly, a bit surprising their planned proposal hasn’t...

… you know Jims has a point… let’s push for 90/5/5 (5% NR youth) for all species… so WY can stand proud, offering NR youth some of the best opportunity of any western state.

I’ve been following these threads for quite sometime, and have refrained from replying due to the nausea induced by Jims comments. WY has no need (nor desire, from my resident perspective) to become the next Utah, etc. with waiting periods, choose your weapon, etc. I understand being concerned...

"I want the Hunt App!"

LAST EDITED ON Jul-27-18 AT 00:27AM (MST)[p]Deer numbers are pretty dismal in the unit. Not trying to say it can't be done, but just be prepared to cover a LOT of ground ( be prepared to continuously move camp til you find a good area) and take good glass. I would say a spotter is worth the...

I have no experience with the accubow, but another thing to look at would be the right release sold through the ?nock on? store. A lot cheaper and more portable, but is more focused on practicing your release. If your single, I'd set up a target in the bedroom, hall, garage, etc and blank bale...

....fmj are good and a lot of people like them, but they can bend. Just something to keep in mind. (Take a fall 8-10 miles in, and end up with a quiver full of bent arrows is possible) .... Easton axis is great. BE rampage if you want more FOC.... there are lots of other great shafts out there...

LAST EDITED ON Mar-17-18 AT 06:04PM (MST)[p]Hopefully I don't insult anyone?s intelligence here... If you're limiting yourself to 500 yds or so, have the turret built on verified load data, and the turret is built for the approximate elevation you'll be hunting and doing your shooting at, you...

.... not going to debate which is better, but just wanted to point out that the deer in western WY did not get close to reaching their potential this year. More energy was put into replenishing their fat reserves, than antler growth. Bucks like the one Brian killed were probably down at least...
