    87 Deer Tags

    If you bow hunt, watch for snakes. The Miracle Mile area does not only have a million fish per square mile, but has a million rattlesnakes per square mile. I got a couple antelope tags for the area, so should be another fun year in the area. As far as the area you have 3 choices - Sage Brush...

    Archery Deer unit 87

    Yeah, Wyoming residents should stop putting in for 87 so I can draw it again. If you are scared of snakes, then I would avoid it. Lots of prairie rattlers. Lots of ankle biting cactus as well. Too many people fly fishing on the miracle mile catching decent browns and bows all day. Archery...

    Snow is piling up

    So, it is weird. Kemmerer has a bunch of snow. La Barge does not have a bunch of snow. It really depends on where the deer are wintering.

    4th season 3-301 Elk

    I was there last weekend. There is a big herd on a ranch in the northern part of the unit. There was an issue some hunters had on the southern part of the unit with a rancher circling around the elk to keep them on the private. There were a few elk shot out of maybell. I imagine there...

    Beaver unit Deer Herd

    Southwest Desert is a tire killing machine. No idea how it can damage so many tires, but it does.

    Region G & H Down this Year?

    Wyoming was like 'Utah' before the antler restrictions. Lots of young deer were taken as meat bucks, but there was a lot more deer on the mountain. There was an older class of deer even with the harvest of young bucks. In 2016, 42% Hunters were successful in U 144 of G. In 2017, 22%...

    Couple observations from western Wyoming

    1) I agree. 2) In Wyoming it is 4 points and in Utah/Idaho it is 2 points. A deer is a deer. It is a general area with trophy potential. 3) Didn't notice a bunch of Coyotes, but there were some. One thing that was shocking was the lack of bears. The Quota was only 1 going up there and didn't...

    Wyoming unit 87 deer

    It is absolutely worth taking a side by side unless you plan on backpacking into the ferris mountains or seminoe mountains. Even then, I would still bring it. Some of the two tracks would be better on a side by side than a truck.

    Wyoming unit 87 deer

    I have hunted it before. It is a fun hunt with an opportunity to kill a boomer. The biggest deer I have seen in my life was in that unit.It completely disappeared during the hunt. I agree that there are a lot of 3 points. However, most people won't pass on one that is 25"-28" wide. There is...

    Winter Kill

    The Deer look in fine shape from what i have seen. We do have a big snow storm this week, but it hasn't been too cold other than the last week. The deer are still finding forage. It doesn't look like it is going to get too cold in the next little while, so I think as long as there isn't an el...

    Bison

    Maybe this year is just an outlier, but more than a few of the hunters I have conversed with have spent more money coming up on different weeks and weekends than it would cost to hire tag & drag. Today is another bust. The bison did not cross, hopefully with the cold coming tonight they decide...

    Bison

    I'll be up here until the close of season. The Moran group of 250 disappeared this morning, so they are on the move somewhere. There is a group on around 30-50 on south side of black tail butte towards the top of the mountain, out of site from the road. They were the same group that was on...
