Disclaimer: I understand the risk one takes to post here anymore, but here goes... Summary: I have 15 elk points, I'm 64 and have serious health issues. I am looking for some suggestions for hunt units, archery or rifle, but preferably rifle. I can kill out to 800 yds but prefer inside 500 yds...

Well done, Russ & Emma! Gets me excited for my upcoming 3rd season hunt!

I'm not a good storyteller, but I can be a pretty good listener. Keep the stories coming. If they are bogus, I have a decent BS meter that has rarely failed me. I would like to come back from my unit 61 3rd season hunt this November with a few good stories.

The identity "Eric Dovenbarger" claimed by Trollemhigh is legit. Trollemhigh's profile says he is Eric Dovenbarger from Palm Bay (Florida). The phone number Trollemhigh is posting is Eric's mobile number. Eric's mobile and home number are both shown on his LinkedIn resume. Eric's LinkedIn page...

guess you won't need to haul that extra life size decoy with ya!

$120 here. 3 general buck tags @ $40 each... ...or, 4 doe tags @ $30 each.

This is a pic I took of my cousin's ML Henries deer from 2019. He drew with max points. Not sure of the official score, but it measured at ~227" gross. It was running with 2 other nice bucks, 180 - 190ish, certainly ML-worthy on the Henries. My uncle (right) took a nice velvet buck in 2003...

Right now I am thinking that I'll hold off on that until I have a story in September.

I wasn't clear in my comment - my bad. What I meant was that combining points with someone besides my son AND then putting in for the Special draw on top in order to guarantee that we all draw would be a hassle I could avoid by simply putting in the Regular draw with my son...with 11.5 points...

Thanks to everyone for your responses. At this point I am leaning toward just putting me and my son in together without the hassle of sharing outside and applying for the Special. Less complicated that way. That could change if someone comes to us with let's say 7 or 8 points and an offer too...

Burning 17 - GMU 61 3rd season. Hunting buddy (Uncle) applying with 16. We know nothing about 61, but oh well. This is the plan, God willing. WY G 9/20- (burning 11 pts) ID OTC 10/10- (tag in hand) UT GEN 10/22- (burning daughter's 9 points, shared) CO 61 11/12- (applied w/ 17 pts)

In a different thread I mentioned that I have 11 WY Deer points and my son has 12. We are about to put in together. We are burning points in WY and Colorado due to some personal health issues I won't go into here. So, I guess someone picked up on this 11 + 12 = 23 and that since 9 points in the...

You're right - I posted quite a while before this joke of a thread was started. TriState with a new handle..lol (reported)

Sounds good. Thanks, Paul. I was trying to see if a group of 3 with 12, 11 and 0 points would be able to pull it off. Looks like not. I think I'll just apply with 11 and have the others figure things out.

Curious how many NR points (approx) it will take this year to draw, regular and special. Thanks

FREE to the first Wyoming resident who PMs me their name/address and who shops at one of the stores in the title. Coupon good until 12/31/22

Gro We have plenty of LDS temples in Utah; hopefully a couple in Wyoming shouldn't cause too much distress. Wyoming also has a fantastic "trek" venue I've enjoyed going on a couple of times. Remember, we will not be in the mountains with a weapon/tag/pole in hand when we are at those venues...

Just received a response from Sweetwater and wanted to share with others here who may be interested. I was not able to find any HMA lands offered by Sweetwater/Orion, fyi. Hi Neil, I received your request below and wanted to provide a response. Entering onto private lands owned by Sweetwater...

Kemmerer City Hall responded and referred me to Lincoln County Land Records, which I had already verified had not been updated to reflect the change in ownership. No response (yet) from 1. Chris Baird, Game Warden for the Kemmerer area 2. Andy Countryman, Public Access Coordinator for the...

I looked all over, including the Lincoln County land ownership site. , emailed "City Hall" in Kemmerer... As others have said, the transaction was so recent that things don't show anything "Orion" - still "Union Pacific Land and Res Co" The Orion site shows various offices (NY, Australia...

Thanks for the info, guys. I really appreciate it!! The biologist did mention that he doesn't/can't give permission to the RR lands, but that in his experience hunters have been accessing it without any issues. HOWEVER, he didn't say anything about a change of ownership. It would be interesting...

Hi My son and I drew this tag for 2021. This will be our second antelope hunt. I also bought the archery option. I have a couple of days next week to do some scouting and was hopeful that I could get a few ideas of some roads to take - doesn't matter which side of the unit. I know I can't go...

Well, that must have why I didn't get the SUCCESS email(s). I suppose that the billing email for the conservation stamp goes out regardless of whether you checked an email box or not. Yep - because of me (Thanks, SS!). Not surprising. But not upset one iota. Just an observation of things - and...

The "Keep a lookout - draw results coming soon" email I got from wgfd on 6/15 (Tues) said "You will receive an email with a direct link to your individualized draw results on the morning of June 17. If you used this email address for multiple hunters, you will receive multiple messages." Got...

Perfect! Somehow I had mistakenly marked my "hunt" calendar with June 11th as the "Colorado draw results" date. Hoping with 16 deer points (but lowered to group member's 14 points) will get us drawn in Colorado. But, if not, I'll have the time to decide whether to apply for a WY antelope tag...

Draw results before the end of May? (sorry if this has been answered a million times) Trying to plan whether or not to apply for a WY hunt. Thanks!

As for ranges in Utah County, I go here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/category/Shooting-Hunting-Range/Garth-Killpack-Shooting-Range-1436100259974149/ Very well organized, well run AND always excellent help from the rangemaster(s) and other volunteers. I think I pay $10/yr. I haven't been...

I'm using my TW right now to get back and forth to work, while I figure out what to do next since my truck was recently totaled. I take backstreets where the max speed limit is 35. 2013 with 2100 miles. No racks added, but I do like the look of the american_jackal's gun boot and other add-ons...

Same setup I use - 300 WSM + Nosler A/B 180's. Still working up the right handload (powder + bullet seating depth) - a neverending but fun process for me. Here's an (iOS only, Free + In-app purchases available) app that I've been fine tuning over the past few years. Tried and tested - at the...

I scouted a little later in July when I was there 2 years ago. I think I saw 15 or 20 at the most. I came in from the north end and I did scout quite a few drainages - down to about north crow creek or thereabouts then turning around. I know there are always quite a few squatters toward the...

"Truck Down" was a thread I started last week. Thanks for the responses and encouragement pm's. Just found out my truck will be totaled. The collision shop said that as soon as they hit the 75% threshold of vehicle's value its game over - "didn't even need to pop the hood." Doesn't really...

Good luck in unit 24, Gunner!!! Spent my WY NR moose points in 2018, unit 23. Had enough points to draw any of the Bighorn units but not the Snowy Range. My brothers committed to going with me if I went somewhere closer, so I went with 23. I spent quite a few days scouting both inside (north...

In all my scramblings I barely got a pic from behind my truck on the tow truck as it was pulling away. Its an early 03 F350 w/ 6.0 My daughter got a pic of the other guy's car. The last pic on my phone before the accident is attached (I think)

"Totaling" it is kinda worrisome, since 1) I won't be able to find another truck as well kept as mine (my one and only truck ever) - original owner, 158K miles, 100% garaged, 8 brand new injectors, and 2) it doesn't make sense to jump into a newer, more expensive truck at this point in my life -...

Yeah, its hard not to replay this over and over again and wonder how there were no fatalities. The PT offered to make a "house call" to check on my 2 kids and tweak their necks/backs as he sees fit - for the very reason you stated. The way I feel right now - pretty darn good all things...

Apologies for typing in bursts. Sometimes I type like I speak. I don't really care about the grammar/punctuation police (you know who you are). Its the thought police I am concerned with these days. Oh well, it'll all be good after we've completed the newly required annual sensitivity...

Hi Blackie6 Not really sure what you mean by what type of hunt, but let me provide some parameters and we'll see where it takes us... I am in Utah County and my brother is in Davis County. I am 60; my brother is 58. He does triathlons, so he stays in good shape. I am in ok shape. We don't own...
