ihuntelk, I couldn't agree with you more! It is getting real old seeing this bill year after year. Glad it failed, it was the worse bill yet and is asinine for these couple of legislatures to continue pushing this bill upon the Wyoming Sportsman!

No one in my family drew elk this year, but I did draw a unit 64 antelope tag so looking forward to that! Going to hunt the general elk this year! Good Luck to everyone out there who drew tags!

LAST EDITED ON Feb-28-13 AT 09:45AM (MST)[p]Triple_BB, I completely agree with you on the NR tags being reduced, most all western states are 10% of allocated tags go to NR (I for one want the NR to have the privilege to hunt this state, but we should also be consistent with all other western...

I still highly favor the system that is in place. But if we want to look at some kind of "new fair" system, then we need to really look at the Nevada's Bonus Point system, that is as "fair" as any kind of point system can be, if we must go to such a thing. There is no splitting tags into...

Price increase for licenses... LOL, Your opinion counts too, I stated "outfitters and politicians", because some of them like to slide things through without doing any kind of a public survey... however I am now thinking I may take up plumbing soon.

Strang,I completely agree, there is no simple answer. The best answer is keep it as is, that would be my NEW idea. That way we don't have to be wasting time trying to figure something out that may or may not work. Throwing 25% and 75% tags here or there or 50/50% here or there is not going to...

LAST EDITED ON Feb-23-13 AT 10:57AM (MST)[p]The general concensus on this board is to leave the system as is. I have no problem to listen to a NR as they have been living the PP system for years now (in many states) and they see what it does. They can have some good input, but what I am seeing...

82801....I lean heavily to keeping the same system we have "random" draw, this keeps it fair for the youth hunters and the men/women who are taking up hunting. My second choice would be the "bonus system", still gives everyone a chance to draw but gives a bit of an advantage to the guy who has...

I am with TreeEm on this and many more wyoming residents. The fair thing is a random draw, there is not one single resident in this state that can't hunt deer, antelope, and elk every single year the way the system is now, so why change it. It is a privelage to hunt, not a right and all...

LAST EDITED ON Feb-15-13 AT 08:53AM (MST)[p]I understand that they can keep them for the moose and sheep. I believe that was very unfair to begin with and still do. It just goes to show that there is absolutely no "thinking" going on when these bills are introduced. But it is a very good thing...

It is very good news that this bill got shot down, no reason at all to have any kind of a PP system for residents, let alone allowing a NR come to the state and keep his PP's, not a chance should that have ever been considered. It was the NR choice to pay for the pp's and it is their choice to...

My 13 yr old son was lucky enough to draw a any elk tag in a good unit here in wyoming. Me and his Grandpa took him up for the first couple days of the opener to try for a bull. The first day we were on about 50 head of elk with a couple of nice 6 pts and rag horns. We got within 200 yds of the...

Great looking bull, Congrats!!!

Well the season turned out to be a great one! Dad was able to connect with a great bull, I got to meet some really good guys while doing some guiding for elk and then I was able to get some hunting in for myself! I was able to locate this bull Sunday morning and then went after him that evening...

Hey Mike! no DQ for Dad, but Izak ended up with DQ again Thrsday night ran in 2 more TD's! Stay in Touch!

BEst of Luck Don! I am sure you will get a great Bou up there, the area is unbelievable! Can't wait to see some pics!

Dad was able to connect with his largest bull taken with a bow. He spent plenty of hrs in a ground blind at a wallow and it paid off with a great encounter with a nice bull! The bull made it 50 yds before falling over. Was a great time, memories and now that his freezer is full it's my turn to...

I went with a outfitter who flew me in to an area to hunt. The area was a draw only tag, was pretty lucky to just have drawn the tag, but was glad that I did. It was a good hunt and lots of fun!

LAST EDITED ON Aug-30-12 AT 10:14AM (MST)[p]Just got back from my very first Bou hunt and it was a great time. Saw lots of them and had a heck of a time figuring out which one to go after, which was a good thing. Really enjoyed seeing lots of different bulls before deciding to take mine. A...

LAST EDITED ON Jul-19-12 AT 08:42AM (MST)[p]Nathan, The campground along the Reservoir will more than likely be open and the campground below the dam is a nice place to camp too. As far as camping on BLM land, there are plenty of spots to camp, just a matter of what you are looking for...No...

Piper, I have to say that may be the best way to do it! would be interesting to see this implemented in a few LE areas that are hard draws and see if it does work....

Well I am a resident and the discussion on this will be never ending and no one will be completely happy. I understand where ICMDEER is coming from, I have went through that with antelope and elk and my wife has went 11 yrs at one point without drawing an elk tag (but there are lots of General...

LAST EDITED ON Mar-05-12 AT 03:26PM (MST)[p]TOPGUN, got on the WG&F website. you go to Hunting Page; on Right side there is a "License Information" and under thatt hit "2012 Draw- Prefernce Point Total" that will take you to another page, hit "Sheep and Moose" that will bring up PP totals for...

wybighorn, Good question and one that really can't be answered, well at least not answered with any kind of accuracy...It looks like you have already did some looking into it through the G&F data. With the question you asked (if I understand it correctly) is if someone was going to start...

Assume you are driving...you will have to register the gun at the border with the Canadians and pay a fee, seems like it was $50.00. you can use that copy of registration to go back into the USA, it proves that you had that paticular gun with you when you went into the country. Or to be safe you...

well there are a "couple" areas in the state that have limited tags issued, and some trophy deer come out of them, not many. But I am afraid that Wyoming is managed for opportunity and not trophies. And as much as I hate to say it, they will never manage this state for trophies in ways the...

Great looking mounts guys! here is my '09 bull done by Greg Hartman; Hartman Taxidermy

Rick, I am not sure if you are looking for an outfitted hunt or a DIY hunt, but if outfitted I would check out Powder Horn Outfitters. They have a great area to outfit in area 41.

Since the season is coming to an end I thought I would post some pictures of my son's first year hunting. I had a great time this year hunting, probably the best ever and I never took my gun or bow out of their case's this year! He had a cow elk tag, antelope tag and 2 deer tags for this year...

Buckjunkie, he did take a ram, the last ram that I posted the pic of disappeared and another one showed up in the area. I haven't got any of his kill pics yet, but when I do and if he will allow to have pics posted of it I will get them up on here. the ram he got went 174, had 15.5 inch bases...

Great looking buck, Congratulations!

He is the only one worth looking at in this bunch, be the one laying down in the middle...

Buckjunkie, That is exactly what we got out of him too and the same measurements, although we thought he might be pushing the 10" on the last quarter. hopefully that is the one he takes, it is a darn nice ram.

Heys guys a new ram showed up and now my friend is looking at this one. any guess/rough score would help out on this ram for him? And I would probably pull the trigger on this now...

My son finally made it to the "hunting age" and wanted to try for a deer with archery equipment, this being a crossbow at this time...We had hunted when he had time, through school and football time is very limited But last night he connected on this deer at 21yds and don't think the buck made...

thanks guys on your thoughts of this ram/ Pretty much where we are sitting is in that 160ish range, I am thinking uppers though 166-168, base measurements will be the difference. Very hard telling by pics, better to be in the field and get a better judge of him. There is a possiblity bigger rams...

I could see why you would think that, but he has his eye on the largest ram in that bunch. The ram on the left is 160 at the very best, yes he looks to have larger bases though. I have shot 2 rams in wyoming 168 & 172, that ram is samller by quite a bit. I attached a picture of (Ram on left)...

Hey Guys, I have a friend who was lucky enough to draw a Sheep tag in Wyoming, only 2 tags given out and the other hunter has already filled out, so he is only one left hunting this area. He has been out and got a couple photos of a ram that he is deciding on taking or maybe not...But some of...
