Appreciate the Bubbles picture! 3 points you’re looking pretty much at the NE part of the state, primarily private land. Not impossible, especially given your goals (maybe a buck, shoot some coyotes). Probably find access, especially if you are a people person or will pay a little for access...

The challenge is it’s not “all” of the landowners who want transferable tags and as many elk as possible. The folks who allow access still end up feeding the big herds; not August-January when hunters keep them out; but the rest of winter and then through the growing season. Kindof like my...

More tags won’t help in the Iron Mountain area….can’t sell the ones being offered. Problem is outside money buying land that doesn’t need to be profit, squeezing out family ranchers who do need to make a profit. Outside money refuses access (or leases to an outfitter); family ranches feed the...

Outstanding! Always kindof depresses me when I think about how the outdoor shows, social media , magazines, etc make it easy to think in terms of inches of horn instead of magnitude of the experience. In the years to come, I hope your ram can represent all the experiences you shared with us...

No hump, dished face, long claws Hybrid?

Headed to the pinedale area this fall with some time constraints; wondering if any of you know of a good butcher with a fast turn around time?

Thanks for everybody's help!

Lots of private around wheatland; Especially where lots of whitetails and waterfowl are; but it will be dramatically different than you might be used to. It would be an easy decision for me - could day hunt for big bull elk on the mountain, mule deer in the rim rocks (Nothing better)...

I'd give a plug for Rocky Mnt Artworks in Cheyenne , lots of awards. But, most important, have an antelope done by someone IN WY

I'm basically new here...if you get a PM, how do you see it?

To be honest...In the field, I first look to see if the prongs start at or above the ears. They will have to for the buck to be over 14" (unless some very rare creature), which is a reasonable starting point no matter the unit. This let's me quickly dismiss a a lot of bucks, allowing me more...

Sloshed through abit of alpine for other reasons; might not do you much good at this stage but saw 5 rams at the head of line creek. All but 1 was missing his lamb tips, my favorite was a chocolate colored ram broomed but still a full curl or better. I really don't know enough to say how...

I'd go later in the season, goats from the adjacent units will migrate in, augmenting what's already there (plus it's easy to judge bucks when there's several together, but easy to make a mistake when there's just one or two chasing a group of does). I'd hunt the cyclone rim area, lots of local...

With the typos corrected: Guess I wouldn't have him shoot the bull, but I would shoot it to put him down. Immediately after I would call the warden and report myself; while we wait take care of both animals and Id have a long talk with the boy explaining all the whys; one of which would be...

Guess I wouldn't have him shot the bull, but I would shoot the him. Immediately after I would call the warden and report myself; while we wait take care of both animals and Id have a long talk with the boy explaining all the whys; one of which would be mistakes happen, young hunters get too...
