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...

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...

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.

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...

I have seen them out in the sage brush antelope hunting.

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

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%...

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...

The Worst - Probably Cache

PM sent. Saw a good one last year. God help the fellow or gal the shoots one where I saw it

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

With the Government shut down the hotline isn't updated and is down. Nothing looks close to the refuge on the webcam (https://www.alltravelcams.com/webcams/grand_teton_national_park/kelly_wy_west.php) 3-6 inches of snow on Wednesday through Friday...

Well, residents are against pretty much every increase. In November in Lincoln county there was a ballet initiative for adding a 1% sales tax to fix some of the roads, and it was voted down. It is just a way of life out here.

My first thought is naw, fam. Then I look at the money it will raise and it is a tougher call. Still, think I will comment when it opens.

You may not have to worry about it this year. Snow seems to be avoiding Jackson. What I would do is get some some waders, some rope, and a carabiner. Then make a zip line across the river and back across the river. Then put your waders in the truck and Zipline across and back. Either that or...

The exact unit was posted on another forum. The unit is a typical Newberg special. The unit has a lot of property issues and there may be times that elk do not move out the private to public. It can be a very frustrating unit. You can sit there and watch elk on the private all day long or...

I had an elk refuge permission slip this weekend. I went up to see where the bison were at during one of the days. There is a herd of 8 bulls north of Kelly about a mile or two. There is another herd of 8 bulls flirting with the boundary of the national forest in the shadow mountain area...

Yeah, I may or may not be still way too excited.

Not on the refuge. I call about every day looking for the cows to cross the border. It has been quite warm and I do not expect that to end anytime soon.

Probably makes number 9, number 10, and number 11 on the list a lot more happy. Granted, the odds of getting past 3 without a sow being shot are probably pretty low.

Around 6k people put in and if the hunt goes through, next year the odds are going to be even worse.

Lucky number 600. LOL

WY - Antelope Buck WY - 2x Antelope Doe WY - Buck Deer WY - Bull Elk WY - Cow Elk WY - Bison WY - Sage Chicken WY - Early Goose UT - MZ Buck Deer Just waiting on a couple crane draws.

If I had a house in hell and a house in Rawlins, I would sell the one in Rawlins and move straight to hell. Rawlins would not be bad if you worked at the sinclair refinery. It is just a small town with a notoriously bad reputation. Probably has to do with the prison. Riverton is about the...

Big Piney and Kemmerer aren't a bad spots. They does have some oil and gas, there are hospitals in the area, and it does have some cheap housing. I like the advise to stay away from Rock Springs or Rawlins, but they are oil and gas jobs there. Another option is Evanston, which you will find...

The Seminoe side has many places that would make for a good archery stalk. It is more open, but there are ways to use the topography to get close. The Ferris side is pretty much up and down, but it probably the more timbered out of the two. Both you can make it happen, it is hunting after all.

There are quite a few wide 3x3's. And you may have the mountains to yourself, because the elk archers may not be up that early and there were only 2 archery kills last year by residents. The year before that there were 0. It would be a really fun bow hunt.

https://imgur.com/a/vFnmgxV I spent a few days trying to find that big buck that I saw scouting and I ended up shooting this guy. Not the biggest deer I saw, but a decent buck. There were bigger, but I ran out of time. There are a lot of wide 3 x 3's in the unit. If I had to do it over...

Probably wont. I am a resident and the elk draw was the same time as the deer draw. I just took a shot in the dark with the General Tag as the main plan.

Antelope can be found in a good portion of the unit. There is some that hang out in the fields near Randolph. I hunted deer there are a young lad and will head there for the ML season of deer. There are antelope, but it may take a few miles on the 4 wheeler to find them.

I am a resident.

I hunted 87 last year and I found a big buck. Did not see him when the rifle opened up. https://imgur.com/a/aZx3ZlD The weather last year was weird, I put in for 87 again to hope that he is still there alive and kicking.

I think the 24 number could easily be doubled to manage the species effectively. There is a buffer zone around the park. So, really Buzz is right about them dotting the I's and crossing the T's. I just hope Wyoming accepts my $600 proposal for a tag.

300 Win is a good caliber. I know people that swear by a 6.5 x 284 and people that swear by a 338 edge. All that matters is that you shoot it well. I will be carrying a 6.5 creedmore this year, because the gun and scope weight 6 lbs 10 ozs and it isn't terribly loud. I have used a .30-06...

I drew 63 type 2 and 2 type 7's, I also am hoping for two type 7 leftovers. The type 2 and 7 hunt is east of buzzard road. There are ranches that can make access annoying in the area, but a doe hunt is doable especially if you are willing to walk to areas you cannot drive too and have onXmaps to...
