    Anyone want to go deer hunting this year?

    Son and I have max points but would prefer to hunt two years rather than both same year.

    Antelope Regular vs. Special

    Jims hit it on the head when he said droughts and winter kill can have a huge effect on what are considered trophies from year to year. During my research I was fortunate enough to talk to a state employee who had spent almost the whole summer working in the unit we hunted. He said he had 6...

    Antelope Regular vs. Special

    Son and I cashed our points (8.5) last year. I am far from a expert on this but I did do a lot of research. There are 3 things hunters are looking for in this order. Trophy potential, public land, quality of hunt ( number of tags). We decided to use our points on a unit that we were pretty...

    Burning Points!

    Yup Buckhunter1955 I and my son are in the same boat. We will have 24 in the next draw. Sure sounded good when we started. My son is 36 so he might be able to wait it out if he chooses for maybe a early rifle in 61 or 76. I will try and dump mine next year and no I was not to smart.

    Road conditions question

    For years I drove a Chevy and chained up all 4. Now I drive a Ford and in the owners manual it says chains only on back tires. Anyone out there only chain up the backs? How effective will they be?

    We drew, but email process is off

    Wow is right, it is no big deal. I received my credit card bill yesterday and had a 84.50 charge. I knew about the conservation stamp but was a bit confused about the archery permit as I do not remember requesting one throughout the application process. I then came across this thread and thought...

    We drew, but email process is off

    Thanks Bob but just to be clear I am a NR and received my license awhile ago. I did not try to purchase any stamps or archery permit since my application, so I was just wondering if there was a box to check when I applied for the archery permit that I don't remember. Need it anyway but was just...

    We drew, but email process is off

    I drew a type 1 elk tag and just was charged with a conservation stamp and archery stamp $72. I do not remember informing them in any way that I wanted a archery stamp. Do they automatically charge you for one or am I forgetting checking a box or something? No problem because I do indeed plan on...

    Bad News Lope in 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 106

    Son and I hunted 106 last year 3rd week. Plenty of animals but never seen a decent buck in 4 days of hunting. Guessing 60 + bucks a day.

    9 elk points

    pymulies good point and thanks for your reply. Liked every one else would like a big bull but the experience and adventure means more to me and any bull would do. I am in good shape and will get in even better shape if I knew I had a tag. There are units I could draw but would need a resident to...

    9 elk points

    Like many I am chasing units but just a point or two shy to get units I am looking at. I will apply with the hope that for some reason a certain hunt will not have point creep and I get lucky. Problem is I want to hunt this year as it has been 8 years since I had a elk tag in my pocket. Is there...

    Antelope regular or special

    Well finally have time to report on my son and I antelope hunt in unit 106. These two were as good as we could do. In four days of hunting from first light to last light we seen one a little bigger and maybe 4 more about the same size as the ones we shot. Just loaded with small bucks and plenty...

    Antelope regular or special

    Received notice this past week by email and letter of Wild Horse Gathering. I called Game and Fish and was able to talk to one of the head guys for the gathering. They plan on starting Oct 6th and their goal is 250 horses. Thankfully we will be gone by then, although the Crooks Mt area would of...

    truck tires

    Guys I was wondering if you could help me out with a dilemma I am in. Being from WI we usually run low ply tires unless a specific reason to have off road tires. I have a work truck that I have 10 ply Cooper tires on that when I headed west I drove and never had a flat. I no longer trust this...

    Antelope regular or special

    Thanks guys appreciate your opinions and suggestions. I did not apply for 57 and glad I did not as we would not have drawn. I decided to go with unit 106 in regular draw as we had a point and a half to play with. With 3 top units bordering 106 I think we will be fine. Time will tell but we are...

    Antelope regular or special

    Wow Bob thanks for asking as I was somehow under the impression our season opened Sept 15 when it opens the 19th on a Saturday. I guess that kind of answers my own question as now there won't be time to hunt before he goes on his work trip with out hunting the opener. So now my choices are...

    Antelope regular or special

    Happy to say my son and I were successful in the regular antelope draw with type 1 tags. Not so lucky on the doe front however as we went 0 for 4. We applied for 4 tags hoping to just get 1 and maybe 2 and we were actually worrying that we would get all 4, kind of shocking. So know I have a...

    Wyo Draw

    Son and I both drew our buck antelope tags but 0 for 4 for doe tags. I applied in a near by unit for doe as it had much better odds last year than the unit we drew for our buck tags. Well not so much this year as it completely turned around this year and would have had much better odds if we...

    Wyoming application question

    Ok guys I am still a little confused. If I apply with my son as a party for a reduced doe tag, do we both get a tag or just one for that app?

    Thanks everyone for some great information and tips. It was a no go for me this year in the elk draw with a 4 point jump in points for my app but will certainly use this information in the future. Pat

    Well no luck with elk draw, hopefully the antelope draw will treat me better.

    Antelope regular or special

    What makes me concerned is the units I am still considering did not have a tag decrease and yet people on the ground in those areas are more than a little skeptical on the winter kill. I am hoping to try and make some calls in the next week. Sure would be nice to draw a elk tag so I could wait...

    Antelope regular or special

    Thanks again guys it has turned real busy here in Wisconsin with good weather and trying to get crops in. To say the least it has been a very trying year. Should know if I drew elk in about 10 days and if I did not I will need to make a quick decision on my unit for antelope. Your feedback will...

    Antelope regular or special

    Wow thanks guys really appreciate your responses. 67 would be a great option but with a 1 point creep that would put us on the fence and now a decrease of 25 tags might not be a sure draw. 68 is a great option that we can draw however a little concerned with 100 tag increase now 600 tags. I...

    Antelope regular or special

    I have applied for a elk tag and feel I have a decent chance at drawing. However if I do not I will then apply with my son for Antelope with 8.5 points. I have hunted Antelope twice and my son once, so far from pro's. Truth is like many others probably will not be able to tell a 70 in from a 80...

    HOW BOUT IT Tikka???

    Last fall in the Big Horns my son and I were on one atv while my brother was following on a mountain road. We were going maybe 20 when I noticed a bull standing right below the road at maybe 10 yards, I hit the brakes and pointed at the bull at the same time which my son had also spotted. My...

    Well Robb just solved it however at my age I think death would probably more likely than the carbon monoxide but what the hell got to go some time. Really appreciate all your replies.

    camping heaters

    Yea assassin I am worried about the heater. I know the trailer I am looking at has 2 vents as well as I will have the barn door style doors in back instead of the ramp type and plan on leaving them cracked as well as the front door. Detectors are a must. Not sure I know of what kind of heater...

    Dang I was under the impression as long as I was off the ground I would be ok. Just to be clear are you saying that I can still use my air mattress as long as I have sleeping pad or eliminate it all together? If so then just sleep on ground or is a cot better than air mattress ? As far as...

    unit 70, 4th rifle deer

    Congrats Hank, My son and I also had 70 4th season tags and to say the least we struggled. We hunted our butts off but when the bucks were not where they were suppose to be this time of year combined with our inexperience we just could not find mature deer. We arrived almost two days before...
