The bottom left is a guy that has since retired and no longer doing any animals. The top buck was big cat taxidermy in Craig CO. The Bottom right is Kim's Wildlife Art in Lander WY. I have been using Kim's a lot. She has done a couple deer and currently has a lope for me.

HAHA. Sure hope you don't have a little final destination action. But seriously why would we want to save the best hunts in some of the hardest and coolest country for the old guys. If anything shouldn't we try the opposite? Maybe for these super hard tags in hard lands we should give the...

Then 99% of people will never draw a tag and they will die with a pile of points and those who actually draw a tag will end up too old to even access the country.

What was he buying? A point. That is how points work. You bought a point, in no way do points = tags. Unless you chose to use them... But the funny part is eventually all true point based systems end up the same place. The only person getting the tag is the guy who outlives all the others. Can...

You got exactly what you paid for a point...

I would say the single biggest misconception people have is that moving from general to limited will actually improve the hunting. this is not just a Wyoming thing but you can find examples throughout the west of how the move actually caused more issues than they fixed.

This was the buck I took fall before the massive winter kill. It was a buck I had watched for 4 years. The first year I saw him he was a 19” basket 4x4. The last 2 he was identical each year. I just got him home from the taxi and my 14 year old and I talk. Given the current deer issues...

How is that screwing anyone? Why does any one deserve a better chance? The only fair thing is making everyone have an equal chance as everyone else every single year. Random draw is the fairest and best system period. Everything else is just form of entitlement.

Look like wolves have killed 4 more cattle. CPW is investigating and preparing to release a statement. 3 were killed Monday/Tuesday and one last night. All are said to be yearlings. Wolves only kill for food… Haha… This is why the definition of chronic depredation was so important..

Depends on what you mean by great… We have had several better than average hunts for both elk and lopes have had one ewe sheep tag…. I have drawn a pretty top tier area for lopes 3 times since moving here… On the flip side my wife has missed every year on a tag that has over 75% odds. I...

Nope. I have been top tiers in some licenses and I would still love to see it go random. From the get go, when points first became a thing I have always argued on the side of random. Sorry but you are wrong on this issue. When I was a nonresident and had a pile of WY points, I was arguing for...

Sorry but it is not just because it is a “ewe” tag.
