Appreciate the Bubbles picture! 3 points you’re looking pretty much at the NE part of the state, primarily private land. Not impossible, especially given your goals (maybe a buck, shoot some coyotes). Probably find access, especially if you are a people person or will pay a little for access...

The challenge is it’s not “all” of the landowners who want transferable tags and as many elk as possible. The folks who allow access still end up feeding the big herds; not August-January when hunters keep them out; but the rest of winter and then through the growing season. Kindof like my...

More tags won’t help in the Iron Mountain area….can’t sell the ones being offered. Problem is outside money buying land that doesn’t need to be profit, squeezing out family ranchers who do need to make a profit. Outside money refuses access (or leases to an outfitter); family ranches feed the...

Outstanding! Always kindof depresses me when I think about how the outdoor shows, social media , magazines, etc make it easy to think in terms of inches of horn instead of magnitude of the experience. In the years to come, I hope your ram can represent all the experiences you shared with us...

No hump, dished face, long claws Hybrid?

Headed to the pinedale area this fall with some time constraints; wondering if any of you know of a good butcher with a fast turn around time?

Thanks for everybody's help!

Lots of private around wheatland; Especially where lots of whitetails and waterfowl are; but it will be dramatically different than you might be used to. It would be an easy decision for me - could day hunt for big bull elk on the mountain, mule deer in the rim rocks (Nothing better)...

I'd give a plug for Rocky Mnt Artworks in Cheyenne , lots of awards. But, most important, have an antelope done by someone IN WY

I'm basically new here...if you get a PM, how do you see it?

To be honest...In the field, I first look to see if the prongs start at or above the ears. They will have to for the buck to be over 14" (unless some very rare creature), which is a reasonable starting point no matter the unit. This let's me quickly dismiss a a lot of bucks, allowing me more...

Sloshed through abit of alpine for other reasons; might not do you much good at this stage but saw 5 rams at the head of line creek. All but 1 was missing his lamb tips, my favorite was a chocolate colored ram broomed but still a full curl or better. I really don't know enough to say how...

I'd go later in the season, goats from the adjacent units will migrate in, augmenting what's already there (plus it's easy to judge bucks when there's several together, but easy to make a mistake when there's just one or two chasing a group of does). I'd hunt the cyclone rim area, lots of local...

With the typos corrected: Guess I wouldn't have him shoot the bull, but I would shoot it to put him down. Immediately after I would call the warden and report myself; while we wait take care of both animals and Id have a long talk with the boy explaining all the whys; one of which would be...

Guess I wouldn't have him shot the bull, but I would shoot the him. Immediately after I would call the warden and report myself; while we wait take care of both animals and Id have a long talk with the boy explaining all the whys; one of which would be mistakes happen, young hunters get too...

Steady wind, move in tight before cow calling, maybe have partner stop 200yds out and give a couple wimpy bugles Any question on wind or approach, wait for evening and get ahead of them with an ambush, use calling to fine tune if range isn't perfect

Look up the number of B&C bucks entered. Divide by the number of hunters (has to be by county but that can be extrapolated). That'll give you the answer.

Around 300", tough angle though

Anybody been over the gypsum creek road to moose creek (USFS 680) in the upper green?

Agreed I've had the good fortune to hunt a bunch of states, and the misfortune to live in a few other than WY. The WYGF folks are more courteous, more professional, and more passionate than any I've hunted/lived with. But I have a bias as a WY boy

Late 59 Or 124 if I could get a bunch of time off

I think of a gps for unit 1 in the same way I do bear spray: The bear encounters I've had, the wind was always blowing from the bear to me. Given the nature of the wyoming wind, it doesn't seem prudent to blast a cloud of capsaicin into it right before I might have to see to shoot straight. A...

Meade Dominick for sure. Area 3 is the roughest WY goat area with lower densities; he's got the stock, the skill, and knows that area.

That's great! Sounds like you know the area a heck of a lot better than myself, but I wonder around the great country some, if I find anything special I'll let you know

That's an awesome tag. PM sent, let us know how it goes

RoadlessHunter - I think you are probably pretty close at 300, he is certainly that and probably a bit more, but I can't put him much past 315. Certainly symmetrical with a nice confirmation. Its funny, his antlers are pretty thin like a younger 4-5 year old bull, but his body looks like he...

Servehim - you might have more up-to-date info; but I did go with a friend on the elk hunt in 2011. We had lots of time and she was being very selective. Back then, it seemed most of the elk in 124 would actually be in antelope area 57, not 58. Awesome hunt, I hope you get that elk tag and...

Thanks for your comments jm77, makes me wish I had skinned him for a life sized mount now! I'm sure you've seen hundreds or thousands of antelope in those 40 years as a WY taxidermist, so I'm understanding even better what a unique animal it was. For me, I don't care a bit that his 17" horns...

Well, that, and the quarters in my cooler looked like a deer to the game warden at first; no fault on him. The WY G&F folks I've dealt with have only been consummate professionals!

111 might be best during archery. Rifle season they head for refuge on private pretty quick now.

I have hunted 53, 64, and 67; can't speak to 93. Guess of those hunts I'd go with 64, then 67, then 53 last. But, different hunts on different years so there's confounding variables. The 64 hunt was the best antelope hunt I've experienced, including a couple of times in 57 way back in the...

Thank you for the input! I have killed a handful of bulls in the 315-330 range, so 350 is really what I want to work for. How do you think a guy will do without horses?

I switched areas I usually apply for this year, with my kids getting older I would rather hunt with them. If I use time to hunt for myself I wanted it to be in a really good area, and I had max points. Unfortunately, I am not very familiar area 58-1. I would actually go guided, as I no...
