Follow up poll to the ongoing baiting thread. Let's see the numbers!

How long does it usually take the DWR to post draw odds once the draw is complete? I want to say it's fairly quickly, but can't remember for sure. Thanks.

I'll be hunting speed goats for the first time this fall in Wyoming. I've done a ton of reading and am really excited. Summary of what I've read: -Don't shoot the first buck (or ten) that you see, look over a lot of animals. -Cover a lot of ground. -Go for a hike, don't limit it to roads...

Why does the area 135 portion of region G have different season dates than the rest of region G? I don't have an opinion on this either way, just found it interesting.

I seem to remember reading that a Wyoming non-res fishing license is included with a big-game tag? I couldn't find the info on the WGF site. I should have an Antelope tag this year, will a fishing license be included with it? Maybe it was Elk only... Thanks in advance.

I've seen some fantastic Utah and Nevada bucks posted on social media the last few days. Many of them will have scores and measurements in the descriptions. My questions is regarding mass measurements and velvet. Is there general guideline regarding how to measure mass on a velvet buck (i.e...

I killed a buck that I would like to have a set or two of replica antlers made of. I primarily want them for back up in the case of fire or theft. The few people I've spoken with charge $1400-1500 to do it. Anybody know of someone that does a good job, but isn't so expensive. I'm having...

Looking at a couple random units (one top-tier and one mid-tier), what do you guys think the overall distribution of scores on of bull elk harvested are? Let's not break it down by weapon, just an overall summary of bulls harvested in a given year. I'm talking gross score, and my numbers below...

Wow, this has been an incredible year for snow. After a pretty good run of mild winters we were probably due for a big one. What are you guys seeing out in the field? I have to imagine the deer herds are starting to struggle.

We're now into February and the snow keeps coming. What is everyone seeing with the deer herds around the state? Are they wintering okay, or is the deep snow taking a toll on them? It doesn't seem like we've had extended periods of extreme cold which is good at least. I haven't spent much...

Anybody hunted either of these units recently? What is the quality like? I'm thinking of hunting one of them in the next two years, and was curious if people feel like they're worth the points.

LAST EDITED ON Nov-03-15 AT 11:21AM (MST)[p]What is the process and cost for acquiring bonus points for future deer hunt in Colorado as a non-resident? I don't plan to hunt there any time soon, but wanted to start building some points. I'm mainly curious about annual cost. Thanks.

It sure seems like there have been more big bucks than normal killed so far this year in Utah. It is probably a combination of everything below, but what do you guys think the biggest factor is? a)social media gives us access to a lot more pictures, this year isn't any different than others...

Looking for somewhere to shoot during lunch...Any suggestions?

I'm looking for recommendations on hunting boots. I'd prefer to keep around or under $200. I'd like something waterproof, but don't think a lot of insulation is necessary. Any ideas would be appreciated.

LAST EDITED ON Aug-20-12 AT 03:37PM (MST)[p]My Dad has a Book Cliffs Late Bull tag this year. Per the standard MM help plea, we'll take any advice we can get. I'd love to chat with anyone who has firsthand experience on the late hunt. Please PM if you have any ideas on places we should check...

I've got enough points to draw one of these elk hunts: Dutton Late, Manti Late, Book Cliffs-Bitter Creek South Late. I'm concerned about access to public land, given that the elk are probably at lower elevations. Is there a real possibility of a 330+ type bull? Does the unit typically contain...

I shoot a Ruger M77 30-.06, and was curious if anyone has a recommendation for a good factory load to put through it? Something that would do a good job on Deer and Elk? I've always put Remington 165 grain Core-Lokts through it. They have done a serviceable job for me on Deer. However, I've...

I'm getting tired of waiting to draw my Utah LE Rifle Elk tag. I've currently got 10 points, and with the point creep I don't want to wait another 6-10 years to draw. While I've wanted to branch out into alternate weapons in the past, I've always been a rifle guy. For you muzzleloader...

I'm looking at a couple CWMU Elk Hunts. I've read over the CWMU information page that has all of the details (i.e. Operator Contact, Boundary Maps, Permit Numbers, Sastifaction Ratings, etc). Before I burn my points I will definitely contact the hunt operator for info, but I would also like to...
