    Mule or Horse?

    I have both. Ride both and pack both. You can have a great trail horse/pack horse and a great trail mule/pack mule. You can have have terrible mules and horses too. With young boys and not having animals before, the most important thing is to get well broke animals that have packed and been...

    The best game meat?

    Young grouse are good but hard to beat a chuckar breast. For game meat the African wild game is much better than what we have in North America.

    Wyoming Mule deer Region G

    Well said. Now I'm not trying to be a guy who's cup is half empty but go watch the caliber of bucks taken in G. Yes they are better than the pumpkin patch of the Utah general season but they are nothing close to the few decent ones that get circulated over and over by text and email. Our...

    Wyoming Mule deer Region G

    It will be very difficult to find a perfect area without people, and if one exists no one will tell you where it is! I have hunted region G for years, with mules and on foot. 2 years ago I hiked into a nasty little bowl about 12 miles in and VERY out of the way. Guess what.... a tent and...

    Tholo Safaris story and pics

    Manny your comments show your ignorance. Beautiful trophies Marley. On a hunt in Namibia several years ago the Hartmann's zebra was the most challenging animal to hunt on the whole safari. I enjoyed it completely and have no regrets. The hunting of these animals give them value and support...

    fish in Seven Devils lake?

    Fished it a few years ago prior to heading out on a pack trip. Just small trout but was fun with a fly and bubble. My 12 year old at the time caught 20+ fish in an evening

    Unit 11 elk

    Not trying to make it sound bad?just realistic. I have spent 20 plus days in the unit each year for the past 10. I would love to say there are a lot of 350 bulls there but there are not. A lot of small six's yes but not easy for those even on the muzzleloader. Lot of guys on the late bull...

    Unit 11 elk

    I live near the unit and have hunted it many times for both elk and mule deer. I spend a lot of time there chasing chuckars in the late season too. I am always suprised that the journals such as eastman's call this a "blue chip" unit. While a few bulls are shot each year that are OK, it is...

    Was anything discussed regarding landowners having to only hunt their land with the LAP tabs vs. hunting the whole unit?

    Best upland game bird dog?

    Ive always had labs. Lived in the midwest for several years and have shot hundreds of pheasants over labs. Now I live in chukar country and got a german wirehair 3 years ago. I'm sold. By far the best dog I have ever owned. Several friends who own wirehairs convinced me to get one. All...
