LAST EDITED ON Oct-25-18 AT 05:15PM (MST)[p]So just got home from my annual antelope trip to Wyoming. This was a tough one, wish I could of went now instead of when I was there. The night before I arrived it snowed about 3-4 inches and got cold. The first morning I hunted it was 16 degrees and...

LAST EDITED ON Oct-06-16 AT 11:08AM (MST) by Founder (admin)[p]So just got home last night from my annual Wyoming antelope hunt. And like every year I had about as much fun as one can have hunting. Antelope have become my favorite critter to go after and I look forward to my time in Wyoming all...

Well, I just got back from my annual Wyoming antelope hunt, pretty happy how it turned out especially after last year. My hunt last year was pretty tough as far as antelope hunting goes but ended up with a small buck. This year was much different. It was also my 1st time hunting opening day...

LAST EDITED ON Aug-04-14 AT 12:13PM (MST)[p]Maybe old news already but I just saw this yesterday. Big fire up towards Aldrich again, up to 24,000 acres now. I had hoped to scout up that way this weekend for rifle deer season but guess I now need a "plan B":) Still early I suppose but its sure...

LAST EDITED ON Oct-11-11 AT 02:14PM (MST)[p]Well, I just got back from my trip over to central Wyoming, like usual I tend to pick the worst possible weather when I'm there. My first day - Friday it rained on and off all day so I just sort of looked over how all the antelopes looked and what the...

Just picked up my 2009 Wyoming antelope last night - think he turned out pretty nice:) My camera skills leave a lot to be desired, he looks much better than in the pictures. He isn't really tall but has some real nice mass which I like anyway. He is my best to date and am happy to have him on...

Hello, I may be putting in for antelope south of Casper this year and was wondering if anyone could tell me anthing about maybe camping at Alcova or Pathfinder. I have a real small camp trailer I take with me was just wondering about food, fuel or anything you can tell me about these two places...

LAST EDITED ON Jan-05-10 AT 12:57PM (MST)[p]In a magazine I just got it had a big ad for the new Blacks Creek Barbarian Featherlight pack. Looks like a pretty cool pack overall. Supposed to be about 4400cu in size, weighs 6.6lbs and is partially made out of Dynema which is pretty high tech...

I posteed this on the antelope forum also. Anyway, here are a couple pics of my 09' buck I got on Wednesday in Central Wyoming. I hunted this unit last year and toughed it out on the public but this year I did pay a trespass fee - not much and thought it was well worth it. What was supposed...

Well, I was lucky enough to make my 2nd trip to Wyoming this year for antelope. Last year I was lucky to get to go and kill a OK buck on public in a mostly private unit. I went back this year to the same unit but did hunt on a ranch which sure made it easier as far as access. Anyway, I had to...

They are posted - I'm stuck at work without my Lic#!!!! But - they are out to check. good luck to all!!!!

Ok, so on another post someone made a point I guess I have not thought about. I hunted antelope last year for the first time in Wyoming, had a great time, got a pretty decent buck I think anyway, and hope to do it again this year. I hunted a not great unit with lots of private but also lots of...

Well I did my first trip last year to Wyoming for antelope and had a great time and got a pretty nice goat. For 2009 I'm starting to look around and wonder if anyone has ever hunted unit 25?? I'm especially interested in the north end of the unit - I hunted a unit just north but this one...

Just wondering if anyone has hunted this unit recently for antelope. I will be there the 2nd week of the 2nd season with a buck & doe tag. I've done as much homework as possible - I have my BLM maps, Wyoming Gazetteer and have the landowner list (not much luck so far with that). I've also...

Hello, I'm hoping to come to Wyoming this year to hunt antelope and like most working guys am on somewhat of a budget. I've picked a couple of units that have some BLM/public land that is huntable, but will also be checking into trespass options. These are generally 100% draw units, not really...

LAST EDITED ON Jan-22-08 AT 05:38PM (MST)[p]Sorry if this is a dumb question but I figure you guys can answer this. Lately I've seen a number of rifles and the guys have mounted their scopes with dual dovetail Leupold scope bases. Are they just buying 2 sets of bases and 2 sets of rings and...

Hope someone can help me out. I've been trying to do my homework on how to find a place to hunt antelope in Wyoming. Anyway, on the WDFW website it talks about Hunter Management areas. Are these worth looking into? I'm having a heck of a time finding a place to hunt - like most I suppose...

OK, so I was reading a hunting magazine about a custom rifle builder that says he uses these. I have been on their website in the past, they look pretty good but I don't think I have ever seen them on a rifle ot talked to anyone that has actually used them. They would be great for a lightweight...

LAST EDITED ON Dec-23-07 AT 08:34PM (MST)[p]Just wondering if anybody out there uses these or has any experience with them. Was just reading a article in a magazine about them and they look pretty cool. The concept of how they work also sounds good but I don't think I've ever seen them or...

OK, so first of all sorry to ask another pack question - I did go back through all the old threads relating to backpacks but I still have a question for you - specifically to those that do DIY backpack hunts into a wilderness without any packers/horses. I did my first wilderness pack in rifle...

I posted this on the Sheep/Antelope page also but since I'm asking about Oregon I thought I'd try here also. Anyway, after 11 years of trying to draw I was lucky this year to get a tag - I guess. I've got the maps down for the unit and went over to the unit this last weekend for my fist...

Ok so I was lucky this year and got my first antelope tag here in Oregon. I have looked over the maps of the unit and did my first scouting this weekend and I have a few questions in general about antelope. I didn't expect to see a million antelope but I guess I thought I'd see more than 6...

LAST EDITED ON Feb-23-07 AT 12:51PM (MST)[p]Wondering if anyone knows of a good gunsmith/service that could spiral flute a Remington bolt. ALso, anyone ever have this done, what are your thoughts, is it pretty much just for looks or does it do anything, maybe shave a little weight I suppose but...

Just wondering if anyone has ever used/looked at these bags. They are on the expensive side but seem to be a great bag - specifically the Badger Super DL. I'm doing a pack in hunt this year so really need a good bag but not sure about the $$$ for these - although they are made in the US. Any...

Just wondering if anyone knows who makes the plastic stocks for the Remington KS Custom Shop Mountain rifles? I have one of these that I have had about 10-12 years and so far have really liked the fit of it, would like to put one on another gun. Or go with a McMillan, which is also nice, but I...

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas on good units - I already know some but since we as residents only draw a tag once in a blue moon just not sure which is a good choice. I should have enough this year with 11 points to draw some decent units like maybe Steens, maybe Whitehouse, S...

OK, I'm just trying to learn so I hope someone can help me out with some good info. For custom barrels, seems most are button rifled which is I think what most factory rifle barrel also do? Or am I wrong on that. Anyway, seems most are button-rifled, but there are a couple that make...

I would like to get my dad a pair of the FRS/GMRS radios for Xmas. Anybody have any favorites? I have some cheap Motorola talkabouts but they only go maybe a couple of miles and thats it. I see some of the Midland FRS/GMRS radios that say they go up to 14 or 15 miles, I know thats in perfect...

OK, sorry to post another question on binoculars, I tried searching for other posts on the Pentax but can't find them. Anyway, anyone out there use these? How do they stack up against other stuff in this price range. I know it all depends on each persons eye and how things look, and I know it...

Was just reading one of my hunting magazines and one of the articles was about building a semi inexpensive sort of custom rifle. The author used a ER Shaw barrel, prior to reading this I didn't know about this company, their costs seem really good for barrels. Even their costs to do the...

Have a question for everyone. Does anyone know anything about Hill Country Rifles out of New Braunfels, TX? Any thoughts our opinions or if anyone has used their service. If so did they do a good job for you? They offer a service to pillar bed and accurize your rifle and the price sounds...

LAST EDITED ON Jan-31-05 AT 05:05PM (MST)[p]Hi All, Best I can do for you a swap salmon fishing. In Oregon we have some fantastic salmon fishing. I have a boat and would be willing to swap for whatever. Salmon fishing would be best March-May, for Spring Kings in Columbia & Willamette, then...

Just a question for anyone that might know about Pac Nor barrels. On another post saw some good info from Jeff aka Rost495 - Jeff if you want to respond I'd sure appreciate it. Anyway, what can you tell me about Pac Nor. It seems they make a good barrel and seem to provide good service. I'm...
