Why am I posting this on the Wyoming forum? Simple, just remember all the decisions Judge Christensen has made embracing the radical left wing animal rights activist groups. Judge Christensen relisted the grizzly bear not too many years ago.He is the darling of these groups and has made their...

I have lived in Park County since 2000. Most of my big game hunting has been in that county. I started hunting deer in Park County as a non-resident in 1998. I have taken sheep, deer, elk and antelope in that county. Over that period of time, I have watched as hunting regulations in the Cody...

I saw this at the Cody Meeting. It is a graph of antler size for mule deer harvested from the Upper Shoshone Herd. Those of you thinking about booking a guided mule deer hunt in the area for 5k-7k might be interested in this graph. Just sayin…mh

I received an email from G&F concerning local meetings in Cody Region concerning hunt changes including boundaries, tag numbers and season dates. A local warden visited me at my home to discuss some of the proposed changes. In the email it states “ We want your thoughts”. I believe the major...

I have been looking at Job Completion Reports put out by local Wyoming Game and Fish every year in an attempt to understand what is going on in hunt areas with deer and elk populations. Much if what is contained in those reports is often repetitious. The numbers are often used to justify changes...

In 2017 I met a young man through Monster Muleys. He had a sheep tag for 2 and I had one for 1. He was hunting DIY and so was I. He helped me with getting the right supplements to aid me in my pursuit. I showed him around in 2 and gave him scouting tips and locations on both the Sunlight and...

This is a matching pair of mule deer sheds I found a few years ago. This was a desert buck as opposed to a mountain buck. I found them in the desert in Unit 105 in Wyoming. I hunted the buck but was never able to lay eyes on him during hunting season. He has and extra point (tripod) off each...

I bought a lifetime Idaho hunting license when I was a resident. I believe it was 22-23 years ago. I have only used it twice now that I am a resident of Wyoming. I got my renewal info this afternoon. Now they want to charge me $12.75 to renew my lifetime license. Is this typical of the usual...

Just a heads up for goat and sheep hunters who may be accessing their units in the Upper Sunlight area. First, there is a significant washout on Sulphur Creek where the outlet from Copper Lake 1 crosses the road. Second, the main road between the bear gate and the turn to Sulphur Creek suffered...

About a year ago or so, I inquired of MM whether I should go with another Tundra or go with GM. I screwed up and went with a GMC Sierra. It was a 2017 and had 26,000 miles. This is the most unreliable vehicle I have ever owned. The local dealership had the vehicle for over two months in the last...

A couple of meetings have been scheduled on short notice in both Cody, Wyoming and Powell, Wyoming for G&F to present information on the current status of the Clarks Fork mule deer herd and also the Shoshone mule deer herd. This is after the many changes made by The G&F with season dates and...

https://bonnercountydailybee.com/news/2021/feb/09/idaho-wolf-populations-remains-stable-despite-high/ I read this article about wolf management and mortality from the adjoining State of Idaho. Although, I am not convinced that Idaho is a state to emulate when it comes to fish and game...

I sold my 2007 Tundra. In the past, I have had that Tundra for 13 years and prior to that it was Chevrolet Silverado. I am looking for a used Tundra or Silverado in the 2015 to 2018 range. Crew Cab or perhaps a Double Cab. I need it to hunt in and to pull my toy hauler in the summer. Any input...

I started mule deer hunting on September 15 on the Greys River. A friend traded me info in that area. I am letting him and his entourage stay in my bunkhouse for his 54-1 elk tag. Based on the info he provided, I may or may not turn the water or heat on in that bunkhouse. That about tells the...

A couple of weeks ago, I shot a 3 year old muley buck here in Wyoming. I was shooting my Sako 85 in .300 Winchester Magnum with a 178 grain Hornady ELDX bullet being pushed by 72 grains of H4831SC. While quartering the buck, I discovered a 33 grain portion of the bullet in the opposite shoulder...

https://www.codyenterprise.com/news/local/article_cda400a4-e7d8-11ea-a13f-2ffd293e9c9f.html I have watched this project for the last few years. The original cost was supposed to be less than a million dollars. I was told this was originally funded by a grant. Now it would appear that the G&F...

On May 30th, 2020, I stopped at the Pilot Creek Trailhead in the Shoshone National Forest in Wyoming. In the last year or so, the USFS had installed a brand new vaulted toilet system at this trailhead. These are purchased and installed at considerable expense to the taxpayer. This is what I...

A shed hunter was attacked in the Sunlight Basin (East Painter) today by a grizzly bear. He has been airlifted to the hospital in Billings. I will provide a link when I have the time. Right now, the USFW is in charge of the grizzly bears in Wyoming and not the G&F. I hope the local man survives...

No, there are no moose shed pics in this post. I have found a lot of whitetail, mule and elk sheds over the years in Wyoming. I have even found some deadhead rams while wandering around. My usual technique involves finding them when I am not looking for them. When I lived in North Idaho, I found...

I was out with a friend the other day doing some target shooting. He was shooting a recently purchased Keltec .22 SA pistol that holds 33 rounds. He told me that the first one he had purchased had a cracked frame and he returned it. The one he had just acquired was shooting all over the place...

I have been a hunter for a very long time. It was always my belief that when hunting that my tag did not guarantee me an animal to harvest but only an opportunity. I have been told this by various G&F employees especially in the last few years. By way of background, I have hunted Wyoming...

The Big Plus here is G&F listened and actually had check stations on the Chief Joseph Highway to cover the Sunlight/Crandall deer, elk, sheep, goats and moose units. They also had a check station in Clark for the 5 day lowland season in 105 and Elk Unit 54-2. The weather brought lots of early...

The 2019 hunting season for gray wolf in Area 1 opened September 1st. The quota was 4 wolves. The quota was filled by September 11th and the area is now closed. Last year, the quota was substantially higher in Area 1 and the quota was filled by the second week in November. How many people, who...

I just pulled my trailer out of the backcountry. I was worried it might spend the Winter up there if I didn't. Looks like cold temperatures and more snow for the next couple of days. I saw a lot of elk hunters pulling out of 51-1. It is hard to say how much snow will accumulate. They say 12"-15"...
