    Wyoming elk 62

    I hunted 62 in 2021. I drew the tag with 1 under max points. I went with Trails West Outfitters the second week of the season and killed a very nice bull. At least for me. It’s a GREAT area for people who enjoy the wilderness because that’s what it is. However, I can’t imagine doing it...

    2024 Wyoming Commissioners Tag Raffle

    I read on Wyoming Fish and Game website there was a 2000 max tickets to be sold. Is this for an elk tag anywhere in Wyoming? Other species? Mackey

    Random NR sheep tag

    Last year there was 1. And 1701 of us applied for it. I don’t think it was announced that there would be that one until right before the application period started. Anybody know if they’ll throw a bone to the poor NR beggars this year? Mackey

    Wyoming sheep hunt video

    Great video. I’m 68 and this will be my 20th year applying for a WY sheep tag as a NR. Last year there was 1 NR tag available in the random draw. 1701 applicants. Pretty high demand for this experience. Happy he got his ram!

    Unlicensed accompanist question…..

    No. I don’t have a tag. But I plan to go out with with him and his guide everyday to glass and just be part of an elk hunt. He’s booked with R and K Hunting Company. We’re both non-residents.

    Unlicensed accompanist question…..

    I plan on accompanying my hunting buddy on a private ranch elk hunt in area 106. Not high-fence. As an observer, does Wyoming law require me to buy a hunting license? Thanks in advance for any information! Mackey

    Who gets it?

    Congratulations on the tag. My buddy from here in the Memphis area bought a Governor’s tag last year and killed a nice ram in area 5. I killed a nice bull in there in ‘21. You’re gonna have a great time! Please post some pictures.

    Welp, it wasn’t me. I got a big ole “unsuccessful“. I added my 19th preference point. Good luck Yote Buster. I may have to try a few raffle tickets! Mackey

    Who gets it?

    As far as I know, there was ONE nonresident sheep tag offered in the random draw for the entire state of Wyoming this year. It’s in area 5. My name is in the hat and they are scheduled to announce the winner tomorrow. I’m making all kinds of deals with God tonight in my prayers! Good luck...

    Wood River Ranch elk

    I came very close to hunting with them in ‘21 when I used my 1 under max points on a 62-1 tag. My wife wanted to come along only because their website said they had a workout room. When I called they said they no longer had the workout room ( I think new owner did away with it) and that blew...

    Mountain biking

    My wife and I ride all the time. We blew the check book up last year and bought Specialized e-bikes. You can get a workout if that’s what you want, or just go faster and see more. AWESOME FUN!

    Closest shot you have ever missed

    Almost 50 years ago, on a beautiful fall day, I totally missed a small 4 pt buck on top of Shenandoah Mt in Virginia with my model 66 S&W. He was broadside, standing still at about 10 feet. I couldn’t believe it. I continued my hike for several miles and was on my way back to my camp and there...

    How far is the furthest shot you missed an elk?

    I’ve never missed. 2 shots and 2 dead bulls. One at 310, the other at 537. Easy peasy! Mackey.

    I’d be calling Josh at Trails West. It will be an adventure you’ll never forget AND, if you can shoot, you’ll kill a nice bull. Been there. Done that. Mackey

    Favorite Back to Civilization Meal

    My wife and I did a Winds trip about 35 years ago. Five days in the backcountry eating God only knows what and our first meal out was a cheeseburger, fries and 2 Budweisers at a restaurant in Pinedale. I remember camping at Borum Lake. Prettiest and HIGHEST place I’ve ever slept. If I...

    Do it! Josh and his people are AWESOME! I’d pay money to just sit at his camp and glass all the game animals across the river. I met DanMan there in October of ‘21, second week of the season. There were a total of 3 hunters in camp and we all killed bulls. DanMan and I killed nice bulls...

    No Country For Old Men!

    Awesome story! Old guys can do as much as they choose to. I’m 67 and am not giving up on anything. The dream of a Wyoming sheep hunt is my motivation to go to the gym 6 days a week. I’ve got 18 preference points and just need to be ready when I draw. Congratulations to your dad and I bet...

    Best archery elk units

    I did 62 in 2021 with a rifle. I went with Trails West Outfitters and had a great trip. I’d love to have that experience again but I’ll be far too old to get enough points to draw it again. I can‘t imagine hunting 62 without an outfitter or at least some horses of your own. It’s vast, wide...

    Slough Creek and the Yellowstone floods

    I just got out of a 5 day Yellowstone backcountry horse trip into Slough Creek. This was a couples trip with an outfitter, and we all had a GREAT trip, but the fishing was way off compared to last year when I backpacked in there on foot. I tried all the usual terrestrials, grasshoppers...
