If I’m reading it correctly, I drew my mountain goat permit.

The conservation officers use OnX. I’m going to err on caution.

Who still writes checks?

I’ve lived and hunted in both states. Utah is home, but I loved living and hunting in Wyoming. I’ve never been happier than I was living at Glendo State Park.

I think they are pretty much what they will become by age 3. There is a big difference between a 2 year old and a 3 year old.

I'm anticipating that antler growth in 2024 will be similar to 2022. I would say that antler growth in 2023 was down by about 10% (at least in northern Utah). The bulls that would usually be 310-330 were coming in closer to 280. I attribute that to the fact that the winter-of-all-winters took...

I’ve always wondered how Wyoming has managed to keep this state law in place. Wilderness areas are federally managed lands, not state managed. The state does have primacy for wildlife management. If any of those people cited went to court, I bet they could get the citation overturned and...
