    WY Unit 99 antelope

    I haven't been in the area now for over 10 years but suppose the speed goats hang out in the same areas. The first place I would try is the big ridge south of the Burns Brothers Truckstop West of Fort Bridger. It has a lot of sage on it and I have seen quite a few goats there. If that does...

    Mule Deer

    Have you tried glassing. I bought a pair of glasses when I moved from Wyoming to Arizona. What an epiphany! I saw 10 times more deer and did about 1/3 of the work. I used to hunt hard. I bet I covered 10-15 miles in a day. Now I cover about three on foot and 60 square miles with my eyes. I...

    Bino choices

    I used a pair of the Minox glasses this past season. First let me say that I own a pair of Swarovskis and that is what I always use. If I hadn't used the Swaros for a couple of seasons, I would have more than been satisfied. They are clear, and easy to focus. Each eye has a separate paralax...

    .300 weatherby mag?

    Walmart will order any rifle you want and will get it for you less than what you would pay at a gun shop. It will take a 50% deposit and the rest when the rifle arrives. Make sure you can stand the recoil. The big magnums can give a guy a flinch.

    If I had to hunt a week, the last week is the best week. Glasses are the most important tool you can have with you. Obviously, if a guy could hunt every day that would be ideal. There are several outfitters that will take you on a day hunt. I think that if you put forth the effort and with a...
