    BEAR BAIT SUCKER??

    Sounds good. The system I use rarely runs out of bait so I’m not packing or leaving any “gimmies “ for the bears. I’m going to make them work.

    BEAR BAIT SUCKER??

    2 miles on one, about 1 mile on the other. No worries about ATVs, Other hunters, nada. Peace and bears that show up in daylight, all day.

    just not worth the time and effort, especially if I’m packing it in.

    Proposed season structure 2025-2029

    Hopefully a good turnout by bowhunters @ the Denver “open Mic night” 13-14th this month. If anything, good place to vent.

    Classic sheep area, they are in there with the goats. Or the other way around. Big country, bowhunting paradise! Had to dumb down the photo

    Some Big Money At The WSF This Year WOW!!!!

    That's one of those units where every day that goes by, the sheep get harder, and harder to find. Summer scouting they are very visible, but they get pressured hard and either bed in the wide open, or in the trees, or god knows where. Flipping Houdini sheep. The season is long for a reason! I...

    Some Big Money At The WSF This Year WOW!!!!

    There are tags like that for sure. S12 comes to mind, but there are many others where you will have the unit practically to yourself. That really applies when archery hunting, but with an S12 tag, you can guarantee you're going to see other people. I've had a couple tags and never saw another...

    Some Big Money At The WSF This Year WOW!!!!

    That all sounds great on paper, but how do you do that in WY on a DIY hunt? There is no "give up" when you can't even get started. As mentioned, for an auction guy, probably not even an issue. For a raffle guy, (Which to be fair I don't even know if one exists for WY Sheep) totally different...

    First news on Wyoming elk special fee applications

    I hear you, the hold is nuts. Especially for all the rando guys.

    Some Big Money At The WSF This Year WOW!!!!

    Yeah, yeah, so one of my friends up in WY can hold my hand. Sorry, I like mountain hunts without red tape. Not that the "line" is an issue for any of the auction guys, but maybe some of them still like to do things themselves.

    Some Big Money At The WSF This Year WOW!!!!

    That may be true, but take the tame sheep units out of the equation, and I'd still prefer to have a CO sheep tag vs WY. Oh, and trust me, I'm getting out of the truck. Sad thing in WY, you have to stop at some imaginary line in the sand and fork up extra cash for some goober to make sure you...

    They almost look photoshopped, each one a mirror image of the next. That crusher upper left with all the chunks missing is a "Soldier" and would score well if he wasn't all mangled.

    Some Big Money At The WSF This Year WOW!!!!

    It would be nice to know what the ratio of raffle tickets bought vs won would be. I guess some insiders would know. No issue, one is all you need. I do remember some years back there was a limited amount (not sure which org it was) and some guy damn near bought them all and won.

    2024 NR elk applications - special vs regular

    True Jim, but let's be honest here. Out of state hunts have always been about excess cash flow and very limited to who can afford it. Average joe family are not taking the whole family out on a yearly trip. Even CO back in the 80's was a steep pull for average joe The best thing WY has going...

    You do realize it’s not worth b1tching about how the DOW runs things these days. Wasted energy.

    What's your opinion?

    Simply lost in translation. Meaning I’m not eating anything that isn’t tested any longer. As I posted above “Imagine 5 or so bucks all testing positve, yet the other 4 or 5 on top that, that weren't tested, and we’re consumed? No more hermano!” Meaning I most likely consumed a CWD+ deer...

    What's your opinion?

    You’re getting pretty close to crossing the line of accusing someone of wanton waste. Sorry “Brah” Big difference between tossing infected deer vs deer that do NOT have CWD. Check yourself!

    Not in my freezer if that's what you're asking.

    What's your opinion?

    Why? The test tells me if it’s table worthy or not. It’s liking wading through a pool of fat chicks for the girl that has a human looking body. I’ll let you deal with the Oreo eaters, I’ll take the healthy ones.

    What's your opinion?

    What am I wasting? You’re killing deer that are essentially on death row. Arrow gets them when I’m hunting, or a coyote when they’re spinning in circles? I’d say the arrow is a better death vs eaten alive.. I’ll continue to hunt that area and simply test the deer killed.

    What's your opinion?

    It’s new to me. I’ve been hunting this place for many years, never gave CWD a thought. You can’t tell. The bucks are impressive, but the infection rate is off the charts. Imagine 5 or so bucks all testing positve, yet the other 4 or 5 on top that, that weren't tested, and we’re consumed? No...

    What's your opinion?

    No, but as of late yes, or I don't eat them.

    What's your opinion?

    Cause of death, arrows. Shortly after test results confirm that deer had CWD……. Next step, bring said meat to the trash as I’m not driving back where it came from. Maybe I should put a post up “free quartered up CWD + deer meat” on Craigslist and here MM for any and all takers. Three things...

    What's your opinion?

    Did you see the post above? Maybe you’re reading, but comprehending is a little off? “have seen a total of 3 deer with CWD and one elk. That is from over 20 years working on the issue and hunting etc. ” He’s Making it sound like it’s rare with those comments when it’s not in many areas in CO...

    What's your opinion?

    Well I can tell you it’s alive and well in CO. Fact, 5 bucks have been killed and tested in eastern CO on the property I know and hunt. Of those five all, not one, all, came pack CWD positive over the last few years. The LO told me he’s done and just ordered a predator call.

    What's your opinion?

    Pretty soon I will be horn hunting only, and focusing on bears, antelope, and non CWD states. Heck some states should be touting that. Come to “x state, CWD free” 2k Wy tags for rancid Contaminated meat, come ye, come all. Feeding so they can live one more year and then spread disease they...

    What's your opinion?

    Maybe so, but a couple things are certain...... 1. It's 100% fatal for the deer or elk. 2. Every area that gets contaminated means less deer in the long run as its spreads. 3. Feeding doesn't help the issue, it's a band-aid, and potentially speeds up the process. 4. I'm not eating a...

    What's your opinion?

    If anything last year is the year they should have stopped feeding. I swear, I'm far from a greenie, but "man" has messed so many things up, we are a cancer, we ruin everything we touch, WY included. At some point CWD is going to get so bad, why even bother hunting. Stop the feeding, let...

    2024 app booklet

    It goes to show you how messed up things have become when it comes to horns. Another interesting note, It seems I have to go fishing with the purchase of a buck or bull tag. I like horns, but it sure seems to me the best thing going in WY are the "female" tags.

    What to do with my points?

    Elk for sure. I've seen a ton of antelope in some areas, and toast in others.
