Another question. Has anyone tried Pnuma clothing and specifically the selkirk all weather gear? If so, how does it compare to sitka, kuiu, etc? I am looking for top quality raingear and any comments would be appreciated.

Does anyone have any experience with the Vortex binos with built-in rangefinder? Thanks for your comments

Good luck to everyone in the upcoming drawing. I hope you draw the tag you want and get to hunt the trophy you want. Shoot one that makes you happy. I hope to be hunting my public land honey hole in October. Used to draw it in the leftover draw and bank points. Now it takes points just to have...

I have never seen this discussed before. If I apply and draw a license, how do I know if I drew the license in the general draw (either regular or special) or I drew after being dropped down to the random draw? Thanks.

I see this forum isn't used a lot. Anyone on here hunt in Newfoundland? I'm planning a trip this Sept 2018 and would like to chat with someone who has hunted there before. Thanks

Any using either of these and are they worth the money? I misplaced my Oregon GPS and am looking for a replacement. The Rhino has lots of bells and whistles but is pricey. I like the InReach ability to send texts but not sure how well it functions as a GPS. I appreciate any comments. Thanks

Is anyone using or have experience with either the Rhino 755T or 750 GPS Radio and also the Garmen InReach. I bought an Oregon several years ago and have misplaced or lost it so I am looking to replace it. I am wondering if the Rhino is worth the money. I mainly use a GPS for marking my...

Anyone have any experience using lighted nocs when archery hunting in WY? Specifically, anyone have a run in with the law? I checked the regs and they don't address lighted nocs or any other electronic equipment on a bow. I just called the WY G&F headquarters to ask. The first lady ( very nice...

Anyone use slick trick broadheads on elk? If so how were your results? Thanks in advance for your comments.

I am looking at hunting antelope in 47, 48, or 52. I am wondering which one has the best hunt potential. I am not a trophy hunter. I am looking for a place to see a lot of antelope and look over several bucks. Also want to be able to camp close to where the action is. I appreciate any...

I am wondering what is the expected life of a stock stainless steel barrel. I bought a Ruger M77 MKII stainless in 2000. I have shot mainly federal premium ammo. I generally shoot 2-3 boxes of ammo per year sighting in for hunting season. I have never shot more than 1 box during hunting season...

I am looking for ideas on how to display a small bull moose European skull mount. I am thinking about mounting the skull on a standard euro placke and adding some habitat items like pine boughs and a rock. Post some pictures if you can. thanks Tim

I would like to hear your comments comparing the Trophy Bonded Tip (TBT) bullet to the Nosler Partition (NP) on moose, elk and large game. Specifically, I am looking at 180 gr Federal TBT and 180 gr Federal NP out of a 300 Win Mag. I have done some extensive shooting (for me) over the last week...

Anyone have any experience using 130 gr. sierra gameking bullets on moose? I have a 270 WSM that shoots these bullets really well but I am wondering if the 270 WSM is enough for moose. I haven't killed anything bigger than a mule deer with the 270 WSM but I am comfortable shooting out past 300...

Anyone have any information on antelope in Area 42 they care to share? I have already researched the walk-in and HMA areas. Since it is a big area, I am wondering if there are more goats on the north end or south end. I am planning a DIY hunt on public access land but if anyone knows a good...

I am looking for a place to send deer hides and have them made into gloves and other leather goods. I have found several websites where I can just buy deerskin gloves but I would really like to get something made out of my own hides. Can anyone recommend a company where I can ship my hides...

Just curious about the overall outlook for antelope and mule deer in South Dakota. A couple of years ago I found out that non-residents could not draw antelope licenses. Is that still the case? I was looking to set up a DIY hunt in South Dakota and as I recall, a non-resident could apply but...

I am a nonresident who has never hunted in Montana. I am looking to set up a DIY hunt in Montana for deer and possibly elk this fall. I am looking at the Pryor Mtns but haven't figured out the Montana drawing process yet. Is the Indian reservation part of the regular game units? Do you...

Anyone have any experience with Platt Outfitting near Encampment WY? Good or bad?

When will Montana release the 2012 drawing odds and success rates? I can only find the 2011 drawing odds on the hunting website. I am a nonresident considering a DIY hunt in Montana. I have never hunted in Montana before. thanks

I have been meaning to post a few pictures of my 2012 antelope hunt as a way of saying thanks to some fellow MMers who helped me find a place to hunt. My son-in-law and I ended up hunting a unit that was our 4th choice. we were able to hunt both public and private and were able to kill 2 bucks...

I was reviewing the proposed 2013 non-resident deer season dates and have a couple of questions (I am referring specifically to mule deer): What is the rationale behind having those deer hunt areas that are still listed within general regions be restricted to "3-point or better" bucks when the...

How much snow has south / south-central Wyoming received this winter? Is it shaping up to be a tough winter on the wildlife? I sure hope not. The muleys definitely need a good break.

Someone may have asked a similar question already. I may be working in Denver for a couple of weeks and would like to know where I could drive to see some elk and mule deer. I may have access to a rental car - probably not an SUV so I can't get too far off the main roads but am willing to drive...

Would anyone like to recommend a game processor or two in the Buffalo - Gillette areas? I have never hunted in this area before. Thanks in advance for any help.

I know that this area is not a great deer hunting area. I am looking for a DIY hunt on public land. Does anyone have any information on deer hunting the NF around the LaBonte Canyon and Cambell Creek areas? I am not looking for a B&C buck, just a decent 4X4. Thanks in advance for any help...

I am looking for any information on antelope hunting in area 30. I have never hunted there and am looking to find someplace on the leftover list to hunt with my son-in-law. Thanks for any information you want to share. Tim

I was wondering if this area is worthwhile for a DIY antelope hunt. I called the WY G&F office this afternoon but didn't get much information. They are supposed to be sending me the landowner list. Is there enough public land that a couple guys with good maps and a GPS chip could have a decent...

I am looking for some information on hunting elk in the top end of 6 right at the state line. I am looking at both the early rifle season and the 1st OTC season. I appreciate any comments anyone has. It would most like be a DIY public land hunt Tim

I have never killed an elk but sure do want to. I have been on 2 DIY elk hunts and saw a total of 2 cows and 1 calf, although on the first DIY hunt the oldest guy in camp lucked into a big 5 X 4 that had its tops broken off. It was the only elk that he saw. Last year, I burned max points in...

I am wondering how the trophy bonded tip bullets perform on elk and other large game. I am sighting in a 300 win mag for a possible elk hunt. I don't reload and am looking at the Federal premium trophy bonded tip in 180 grain. Anyone kill any elk with this bullet? how did it perform? Any...

Can anyone recommend the best processor near Casper? Also, will a 150 - 170 quart cooler hold an entire processed, cut and wrapped elk? I want to make sure I have enough cooler space to transport an elk 1600 miles - if I get lucky and get one ;-) thanks

Anyone have one of the new model 70's made in S.C.? I would appreciate any comments pro or con. I am thinking about buying a new rifle in 300 WSM. thanks for your comments.

I am looking at glas-bedding my Weatherby Vanguard 270 WSM. It is about 5-6 years old and has the factory black synthetic stock. The barrel is stainless. I have been having trouble with consistent groups. The rifle will pattern 2 shots ok but I get a flyer in every 3 shot group. Sometimes...

Anyone want to recommend a good drop camp outfitter for elk and deer? Am looking for a 2011 hunt for 4-5 guys who have never killed an elk but want to badly. Happy Thanksgiving!
