Most Wyo folks don´t understand what the laws/rules are governing public access to Wyoming State Lands.

Quite a few more than when I ended up with #1393. The 700 Club is a rare one, indeed!

I shoot a 240 Wby mag, which is essentially a 6mm-06. Itś lights out on deer and antelope! Have whacked quite a few cow elk with it, too.

What is the number of Grand Slammers up to now? I dropped out of the sheep hunting scene about a decade ago. Spectacular bronze, Adventurewriter!

¨I should draw my cali ram this or next year🐏🐏¨ That´s the power of positive thinking, treed! Good luck to you! I drew a desert ram tag as a resident in 2003.

I´m with littlebighorn: Nevada has become incredibly difficult to draw a non-resident tag. The sheep draws are astronomical odds! I have 27 points for Cali rams, and will most likely never draw (7,000 to 1 odds) Starting to wonder if it´s worth the $400+ a year for me and the wife.

Had a great hunt in 106 this past fall.

The reason I want to hunt them comes down to economics. A Dall hunt in NWT is now $32,000+. Add in all the other costs, and youŕe looking at $40K. The other three sheep are about $20-30K more than that if you can´t draw a Western bighorn or desert tag (Stoneś are pay to play). Roughly $6,000...

Any of the Argalis in Mongolia would be my pick.

I recognize that guy with the big mustache!

Supposed to be a $500 million shortfall in next year budget for Wyoming......might want to trim back the plans on the building just a bit.

I have had contact with this game warden many times in the field during the course of hunting seasons. He´s a really decent guy: fair, honest and helpful. (thanks for spreading rumors, Roadless) It´s too bad the state attorney general can´t step in and handle the case. A strong message needs...

Awesome ram!

Muleman1 If you see any whiteys, show the pics. My 17 yr old son has a type 3 whitetail tag.

Sure hope to draw a buck antelope. It's been five years since my last one.

A second vote for Americinn. Their breakfast is good, as well.

Started applying for sheep in 1995. Drew a Nevada desert as a resident in 2003, and a non-resident Wyoming rocky in 2007 (one point less than max). Started to drop out of the various states, as the fees vs odds began to sway my application process. Still apply in Colorado, Utah, Nevada, and...

A 180 class Wyoming ram is rare, indeed! Congrats on a spectacular sheep!!

LBH, I took my ram out of a group of 17 on the first afternoon out. Sounds like a lot of things have changed.

Bluestone is operated by Myles and Sherry's youngest daughter Devlin and her husband. Like Zeke, my info is ancient. I killed a 38", 10yr old ram in 1998.

LAST EDITED ON May-26-19 AT 09:16AM (MST)[p]I opted out of the $100 point fee on sheep. I had max points, and couldn't see how another weighted point would make that much of a statistical difference in the non resident draw. Received the same result in the 25+ previous year's draws: unsuccessful.

Congrats on the sheep tag!

Struck out across the board. I now have 26 points for Cali bighorn.

Exactly why i quit taking stuff to the taxidermist a few years ago. Would rather have that money be spent on memories and new adventures, rather than another mount on the wall.

Pretty sure I'll opt out of the optional $100 fee. Looks more like the law of diminishing returns. Even if the system is changed, being one weighted point behind won't make that much of a statistical difference. Of course, my viewpoint is a bit different since I already have a dandy Rocky Mtn...

I'd go all in with the Unit 2 elk. You can draw some great deer hunts as a NR with 15 points.

LAST EDITED ON Mar-09-19 AT 06:42PM (MST)[p]Thanks for the replies! I'm not sure at this point if I'll opt in for the extra $100 point. Best of luck to all in the draw! Edit: Pushing 60 yrs old used to seem far off. At 53, I definitely can see it on the horizon!

What's the consensus on the $100 preference point/weighted point for sheep in Colorado? I'm sitting at 3 pref and 18 weighted points. Can't see how purchasing another weighted point will help me much in the nonresident draw. Any thoughts?

I'd stay away from area 20, unless you have lots of time and horses.

My info is dated, but I hunted with Muleshoe in 2007. I killed whopper of a ram on opening day. Justin & Cody outfit a great sheep hunt. One thing to think about Area 8, is you may only get one chance at a ram. A missed shot or blown stalk may mean going home empty handed.

RE: Cow Elk Do you have any preference points?

Congrats on the excellent 11 point buck!

A shout out to Blank for his help! Our first evening this buck was in one of the spots he told us to look. We made a great stalk, and my son sealed the deal with the 240wby mag. Thanks, Blank, for helping make a 15 year old?s day...

Sent you a PM. Am headed up Thursday for my 15 year old's type 3 hunt. Congrats on the deer!

LAST EDITED ON Sep-21-18 AT 05:24PM (MST)[p]Depends upon where you will be hunting. In the hunter management areas around Evanston, ATV/UTV's are prohibited. You can't even have them in the back of your truck or on a trailer. Driving them in a national forest will require a permit sticker...

Going back to cow elk hunting really helped me: no stress, can draw a tag most years, and I'm always happy when I have a successful hunt. Can't say the same when I had some premium bull elk permits.

I believe elkrazy01 was referring to Medicine Butte HMA. Have seen some decent bull moose in there the past couple of years.

LAST EDITED ON Aug-13-18 AT 02:13PM (MST)[p]LBH, I know exactly what you mean....8/4/98 Stone, 12/4/03 Desert, 8/11/05 Dall, 9/1/07 Rocky. I remember every detail like it happened yesterday! Fantastic ram, elk247!
