I have an NX8 and I can tell you the resolution and brightness was a bit of a dissapointment. I also have an issue with paralax however Nightforce told me they can walk me through that over the phone without having to send it in. Tracking is excellent.

Curious who the company was you won your trip from?

Misty at Big Game Bone Artistry does great beetle cleaning. I think you can find her on facebook but expect 4-6 months to get your skull back. There is also a guy in Bar Nunn who boils skulls at cheap prices with very fast turnaround. He did a great job preserving the nasal bones in an elk a few...

Nice write ups. Finnman; where you camped just off of the Buffalo Creek Road south of Sanchez Creek (if I remember correctly)? I was up on the 23th of last month and noticed a camp very similar to yours. The hunter/camp congestion between Buffalo Crk and 33 Mile rd was crazy, much more than I...

The reality is, we are in store for longer restrictions since a large percentage of the US population failed to take this seriously the first time around. I have been hearing of a growing number of Canadian outfitters who are already cancelling their fall seasons as the border reopening...

I would like to ask if hunters from states like Utah, Idaho and New Mexico will lobby your respective states to increase non-resident tag allocations to reciprocate Wyoming's generosity? Yeah, I didn't think so...

Does anyone have a company they have used and recommend for wood pedestals?

I drew this tag once in 2016. Similar to the person above I had quite a bit on my plate that year and I never stepped foot into the area that year until the second week of rifle season. I did hunt quite a bit that last week and found bucks just about everywhere I looked. Access is still good but...

I don't have the extensive experience in 87 others claim but I drew the tag this past fall in 2019 for the second time since 2000. From my experience I tend to agree with what Jims said regarding a higher proportion of 3x3 bucks opposed to other units. In-fact, both the highest scoring deer and...

No not yet. I am sending myself to a tannery I have used in the past. I should know in 90 days or so if there are any issues stemming from the original taxidermist sitting on it for 18 months.

I would agree that Dewey's Taxidermy in Cody looks fantastic, especially with ovis/capra trophies. They are expensive but that extra cost means nothing in the long run. I am going to try them a try with an ibex once it is imported. I have also used Nature's Design in Cody. They did one mount...

In hindsight, hornkiller is right. I should have started with just one, waited for the results, then make a decision to proceed with any others. Live and learn I guess.

Ah, I see what you are referring to. I have not modified my profile on this site in years but I have updated my name on it now for anyone who is interested. I am certainly not trying to hide my identity. I do want others to be aware that what you see when you talk to a taxidermist and look...

LAST EDITED ON Dec-23-19 AT 05:37PM (MST)[p]Try these Jeff;

Thanks for the feedback. Kodi CAN do decent taxidermy if he wants to. I saw a big pronghorn he did for a friend of his and it was head and shoulders better than the quality I received. Kodi's problem is that unless you are a friend of his he just doesn't seem to care and he won't hesitate to lie...

If anyone is considering a taxidermist in the Casper, WY area I would avoid Kodi Dockham with Sundowner Taxidermy or any guides/outfitters referring him. Kodi had approached me several times asking for the opportunity to do some work for me. Two and a half years ago I reluctantly agreed to...

So your suggesting he purposefully used a small caliber because he is a malicious animal sadist? And turned turn himself in under his own volition after this encounter, mind you.

LAST EDITED ON Dec-14-18 AT 05:18PM (MST)[p]grosventrehunter - No, the bear came into his camp "only one time" AFTER it had started to snow. That is why there appeared to be only one set of tracks. There is video evidence of the same bear coming into his camp and being run off by his dog prior...

"Obviously Mr. Stalkup has an honesty problem" Obviously you are not aware that Brent turned himself in once he realized he had killed the bear. He didn't try to hide anything. When the bear came back into his camp for the third or fourth time it came between him and his larger-caliber...

Altimus is a friend of Wiley. Looks like Altimus won't be hunting for a while... https://www.yahoo.com/sports/m/9f98ef0c-6d7f-3cd5-bb33-2ef5a59b423f/ss_after-poaching-a-desert.html

Fake news? Really? Pick up the phone, call the WY G&F and ask them what happened to the 164 surplus resident tags for pronghorn unit 21, the surplus resident tags in unit 113, the surplus resident tags in unit 25, etc, etc, etc. Of course your not going to do that, instead your going to write...

Wow, Wyoming is arguably THE most generous western state for non-residents big game hunters but after reading the above comments I would begin to believe that many of the non residents on this site still feel that WY just isn't doing enough for them... If WY has an 80/20 split then 80% of the...

CAhunter: My first choice area had odds just under 50%. According to the 2016 draw odds report my second and third choice areas each offered chances of drawing as a second and third choice and did not sell out after the first choice go around but we all know those statistics change every year...

"A 90/10 split needs to be pushed by all residents." Agreed and fortunately momentum is gaining for that. Hunters from Idaho, Utah, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Arizona, etc, etc would be up in arms if WY proposed treating our non residents the same way those said states treat theirs. It is...

That information was exactly what I was told by the G&F in Cheyenne by phone today. It is true that the resident surplus was given to non-residents. There was a surplus of 164 resident tags, none of which are available for the leftover draw because all 164 were given to non residents in addition...

Struck out for the 5th year in a row for antelope, so, I check the leftover list like everyone else looking for an opportunity tag. I notice that area 21 type 1 is indicated as "sold out" but the numbers don't add up. This area had a 2017 total quota of 450 of which 357 were available to...

Renfro's actually had three (3) crashes last year: http://www.ktva.com/renfros-alaskan-adventures-pilot-survives-plane-crash-970/

No offense Jeff, but from my experience Mike Choma is not the best G&F contact for this situation regardless of his current title. One time past he threatened to cite me for "harassing wildlife" because I pulled off on to a legal parking area on a highway to watch elk that were being pushed...

Bobby, I just got back from my trip, we hunted the Ismailli region and I took a heavy 13 year old on the first day. Our group average was about 10 years old. Great hunt in every respect, you weren't kidding about the terrain! We too used wooden sticks and they worked great. Most of my group...
