Son filled his deer tag with 20 minutes left in the season. We hunted 10 of the 17 day season. Found 4 bucks that met his standards. Put stalks on 3 of them, had 2 of them go south due to wind and wide open country. Had help from so many friends. Last two days were frustrating. We had an...

Question for the plumbers on the forum. I am removing a bath tub and replacing it with a free standing tub. The existing vent line connection was hidden behind the tub and did not stay entirely within the wall and the joist bay. With the new tub this will be exposed so i want to run the vent...

Scott Talbot announced his retirement as Director of the WGF. As I read it, the process for replacement is the Governor selects from three names submitted by WGF.

Nice to see some positive news regarding western wyo deer herds. Still a ways to go but its a start. https://buckrail.com/sublette-deer-herd-bouncing-back/

https://wgfd.wyo.gov/News/Game-and-Fish-wants-to-discuss-elk-hunting-license Attend a meeting if you can. Make your opinions heard. I know I will be there. Do not allow WyOGA to be the only voice the G&F hears from.

So last year there were 25 spike tags for area 100. However, the G&F didn't think about the special archery regs which stated that a person could kill any elk with the special archery tag under the type 2 license. Since it was only 25 tags and archery success being what it is, they just lived...

I attending an informational meeting regarding the Wyoming Range herd and the Pinedale herd up in Pinedale last night. They cover the current population counts, trends and habitat management plans for both of these herds. They also had a presentation from a Research Scientist from the Haub...

Rather than hijacking the Mule Deer crisis thread I thought I would start my own. I have an idea I have been thinking of for a while and I am curious to see what others think of it. For Region G and H, leave it a resident gen tag with unlimited tag numbers. Leave the NR tag numbers at the...

I was fortunate enough to take my first archery bull on Sunday morning. I don't archery hunt that much, usually a couple of days each year. I did not expect to see anything given it was so hot. I was looking for a buck I had been seeing this summer when this guy made an appearance amongst a...

I got this pic off my trail cam behind my cabin. I believe this is a black bear. My wife is convinced its a grizzly. What say you? The only thing that gives me any pause are the feet. My place is on the Hoback Rim so its on the southern end of grizz country but more black bears than grizz...

Got the caribou, sheep and moose mounts back yesterday. All three were done by Josh Hunt at Deer Creek Wildlife Studio. I can't say enough great things about his quality of work. I am as pleased as I can be. Velvet on the caribou is in great shape, still soft and no smell. Now, where to put...

My two sons and I volunteered to help the G&F out on the mortality survey up by Pinedale on Saturday. Kind of surprised at the low volunteer turnout. Another guy from Rock Springs, and a few locals from Pinedale. Mostly older men and women that did not appear to be hunters. While it was...

Had a nice hunt this year. I waited until late in the season for a few different reasons. Goats were in big herds and had clearly been shot at, a lot. Found a low ridge that ran through a large flat. Spent the morning walking down the ridge glassing the herds, looking for a goat I liked and...

I just returned from a mixed bag hunt in the Northwest Territories with Stan Stevens and Mackenzie Mountain Outfitters. It was a great adventure. One that I will remember always. Each day I would make notes so I thought I would just include them along with a few pics to keep you all...

Would this qualify as a Sh!t Show? Who would give it a try? Not sure I would. At this point I think it has more of a chance of being a mess than a fun hunt. It will be interesting to see if it ever plays out...

I have a hunt in NWT this year and if everything goes perfectly I may have a sheep, caribou and moose to get back to the states. I know, I am asking a lot. I am looking at a United flight from Edmonton to Denver and the United website says that each ticketed passenger can take one set of...

I wanted to give a shout out to my nephew, Nate, on his first elk. He took this bull last Wednesday in Western Wyo. This was Nates third elk hunting season. He traveled from California and worked his butt off to get this bull. According to his GPS tracker he hiked 11 miles that day before...

My wife and I installed the flooring in our cabin last weekend. We went with engineered hardwood with a Tiger Wood veneer. I think it turned out great. We also installed finished light fixtures instead of the bare bulbs. Projects left for this year include finishing the interior trim and...

Got this from behind my cabin on Friday morning. Sure looks like a wolf to me. Am I correct? Cabin is in Western Wyo. Here is a pic of a coyote from the same spot for contrast.

Assuming the change to 60/40, special/regular, change goes through how many of you that are currently putting in for the regular price licenses will switch to the special price license? How many of you that wont pay the special fee are going to drop out entirely assuming your odds with regular...

My oldest boy and I hit made it to the Gorge this weekend. He managed to land 4 nice rainbows in a few hours of fishing. The biggest being 20" and the smallest 16". If we had gotten an earlier start we would have done better and he is still learning to set a hook. Beautiful day for...

My brother and I had a great hunt this weekend in western Wyoming. He lived in South Africa for several years and had taken a lot of African game with his bow but never an elk, until this year. The day before, my son and I hiked into a basin looking for deer and saw a herd with two very nice...

My wife, brother, father and I spent this past weekend finishing the interior of our cabin in western Wyo. We used prefinished 6" knotty pine T&G boards. Went up faster than I thought but it was two solid days of work, much on scaffolding to get it done. Also got a ceiling fan wired in. This...

My wife, two sons and I took advantage of a beautiful day on Sunday and went for a short hike into the western Wyo high country. It was perfect weather and other than a few flies it could not have been more perfect. Still several patches of snow. The boys had no trouble making it to the top...

I see the raffle tag winners are posted. It is nice to see several Wyo residents on the list. A guy from OK has a lot of planning to do. Still cant figure out why anyone would put in for the Black Bear or Mountain Lion tag. You still have to buy the license if you win the tag don't you...

Last November I dropped a tree off my land in Wyoming to build a set of log stairs leading to the deck. A couple of years ago the Shall Creek fire came through and burned a good portion of the timber on my land. It was a great thing as it helped clear out a lot of the old blowdowns and cleaned...

Great example of going from a high to a low. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/man-freed-jury-mistake-killed-hours-later-n129971

Not the best picture but all I could find. http://www.thechronicleherald.ca/canada/1202468-alberta-hopes-to-ram-world-record-with-huge-horns-from-bighorn-sheep

Great stuff and worth the read and watch. Interesting work by one of those college educated SOB's some of us are always pissin and moanin about. http://wyofile.com/gregory_nickerson/americas-longest-mule-deer-migration-discovered-in-wyoming/

Great Stuff worth the time to read and watch. Just solidifies in my mind that the issues all western states are having with Mule deer are so much bigger than we understand. http://wyofile.com/gregory_nickerson/americas-longest-mule-deer-migration-discovered-in-wyoming/

Found this in late December by my cabin while snowmobiling. Thought it was an elk at first. No palm at all. I am guessing him at 2.5 years.

I was wondering how others with this tag did in 2013? I drew this tag as a NR this year. I had never been to the unit and due to work I ended up hunting the second half of the season. I officially got my butt kicked. I saw a total of 4 deer. One small buck. I hunted low in the Domiquez...

Went on first overnight trip of the season. Nice 12 mile loop into some country that I have been hunting for the last few years. Saw a few bucks, bulls and cows but no good pics of them. Beautiful country this time of year and no bugs to speak of. Thought you might like to see a few shots of...

Since my wife is tired of hearing me talk about it I thought I would annoy you all. It's 3 months until I leave on my first sheep hunt and I can hardly stand the wait. I have a 3 week sheep, grizz and moose hunt in Alaska. Staying in shape by running 3 miles every other night and hiking to...

Good potential for so early in the year. He keeps hanging out in the borrow ditch he isn't going to last long.

The wife and I took a weekend snowshoeing trip in early March and spotted a few bulls napping. http://www.monstermuleys.info/photos/user_photos/3808sleepy1.jpg They finally woke up and gave us a better look. http://www.monstermuleys.info/photos/user_photos/8871bulls1.jpg Saw 4 bulls last night...

Are all oval track races as un-eventful as the Daytona 500 was? I had not watched a race since the mid 90's. I wathced the 500 on Sunday and it seemed much less interesting than I remember. Hardly any passing, just a line of cars driving in a circle. Darn near anytime someone made an attempt...

I have an elk cape that I fleshed and froze from last fall. How long will it still be usable? I folded it flesh side to flesh side and placed it in a garbage bag. Any input from the experts would be appreciated.
