I didn't really show many people this bull. Here is my officially scored gross 373 general season 2020 rifle bull. I thought with the droptine it was worth sharing and maybe get some guys dreaming of the season to come. Is case of the questions, public land, unguided just got lucky.

It's worth it in every way. Around Cody guys love elk hunting. Most times they are happier than the hunter to score on big bulls. My friends 54. Many bigger bulls around than that one.

The late season hunts around Cody can be hard. Some impossible without a guide, but produce exceptional bulls. If you are prepared to be cold and be patient you can very likely go home with a 360 or better. I live in Cody and have seen first hand many incredible bulls taken on the late hunts...

RE: NW Wyoming 2018 I can tell you that most outfitters around Cody do not submit any numbers to the big game awards. Plenty of giant animals killed last year by private hunters and outfitters. The antelope total numbers are down but it still hasn't been that hard to find 80 inch bucks around Cody.

I now live in Wyoming and honestly I wish we had left the new bear tags here to residents for at least the first year also. I fully realize if seonene not living in the state got the 1 bear tag issued that would cause a pretty major outcry. More of sticker shock when when my license number was...

Ya, you are right they could claim that. As long as I have had that license there has never been any gray areas or exemptions.

Lifetime license holders fall in the resident pool for applications and are not part of the cap if the 10% quota is met. The only difference in a resident that currently residides in Idaho and a liftime license holder that doesn't is the price we pay. One of the perks of buying a liftime license...

They also excluded guys with lifetime licenses like myself from applying if they no longer live in Idaho. Extremely unhappy about this. Every other hunt I count as a resident just pay non res prices.
