Be careful if you hunt near Elk Mountain ranch, Wyoming. Some serious pervs and obvious thieves working there. “Ranch employees spied on them to the point they couldn’t relieve themselves in private, stalked the group, harassed them in their tent, swore, yelled and intimidated them and caused...

Just a little cost creep on a 2022 elk hunt on Deseret Ranch. Cost plus sales tax (around $114) Early season: $21,000 September through First week of October Late season: $19,250 Second week of October through November 10th How dare they not even absorb the sales tax LOL….. Not included...

A few years old but still a great reminder of the I-80 barrier to wildlife, It’s only 12 minutes long, worth a watch.

For all those trying to reach those landlocked public lands in most Western states. It will fly for 20 minutes at 63 mph. Deposit of $22,000 and total purchase price is $92,000 with deliveries for 2022 hunt season. I’m sure the Chinese will find a cheaper way to do it in 3-5 years and prices...

Is the G&F Allocating an Extra 3,900 General Elk Tags to Nonresident Hunters? Below is the exact language from CH44(iv): (iv) Elk. A total license limit of seven thousand two hundred-fifty (7,250) nonresident elk licenses shall be made available to nonresident applicants in the initial drawing...

Lots to consider with this one. It might be best for the State to just purchase the deeded lands of Mule Creek rather than permanently lose all of these isolated BLM parcels. It also might create headaches for County Commissioners trying to allow easements to uneducated buyers without a...

Federal contract wranglers plan to round up 4,300 wild horses in southwest Wyoming — permanently removing about 70% of them — starting Thursday in an undertaking that culminates years of conflicts among land and wildlife managers, ranchers and horse advocates. The roundup across 3.4 million...

This new tent can be used for multiple purposes. It’s called the Sphincter tent.

Looks like the Zebras are proving to be a hard catch. https://dnyuz.com/2021/09/30/a-month-later-five-zebras-are-still-on-the-run-in-maryland/

Over 400 elk who have for 50+ years used the Dell Creek feed ground and lost their ability to migrate to other winter ranges and acclimated to winter supplemental feeding now may be in peril by this Judge’s decision...

307 Pursuit getting it done with Youth hunts for 2021 on August 10th. https://www.facebook.com/307Pursuit/

It seems the Forest Service trying to propogate more Grizzly damage on the Upper Green. The Wyoming Game and Fish must like paying out more damage claims for US Forest Service policies. Retired sheep grazing leases are now being reactivated and stocked with Cattle, much of it in the Gros...

Looks like the Canucks have helped with the CWD research as they discovered a gene variant of the prion protein may reduce the spread of chronic wasting disease (CWD) among white-tailed deer, according to a new study by University of Alberta scientists. “This is an exciting finding, providing a...

A review of the Wyoming Game & Fish Department 2020 Job Completion Reports found that while Elk numbers overall are strong in the state, Mountain Goat, Moose, Mule Deer, Antelope, Bison and Bighorn Sheep numbers are all below the department's statewide population objectives: Elk - 27.1% above...

The Clown show ranch at it again trying to get a 20 X multiplier on livestock losses to soak away precious funds for Game and Fish. The state needs to force these clowns to radio collar every calf and lamb. Wyoming already has the most generous loss compensation available in any Western state...

This one has a lot of red flags. I think sportsmen should take a hard look at this new proposal. Losing out on 10,000 acres of huntable Forest lands occupied by a reservoir so ranchers get subsidized water and 26% of the irrigators are in Colorado using Wyoming water from Wyoming state lands...

Looks like the Outfitters in the TF are putting up roadblocks and half truths to slow down or halt DEA for 90/10. 307 hunter has a good write up here and worth a read. I disagree with most of these agenda discussion items for the Sept 1 meeting. Next Task Force Meeting Currently scheduled...

Mountain Pursuit proposes a new 229,000 acre Wilderness Area called the “Mule Deer Wilderness”. It will encompass the Northern portion of the Wyoming Range. It has zero chance of passing with the current Wyoming Stockgrowers Association but interesting nonetheless...

I way underjudged this pronghorn. Watch the video and see how a short 13 inch goat with 5 inch prongs can still score 85. Another great video from Pronghorn Guide Service.

Mike from Our Wyoming Life YT channel paints a sad picture of how bad and severe it really is now across most of the state with drought. It’s about 20 minutes long, he’s not a hunter but he does allow many antelope hunters on his ranch just south of Gillette. Imagine you are an antelope...

A little bit of optimism and positive trend for Utah’s Mule deer herd by two upbeat DWR biologists. Worth 20 mins. If you have some free time. https://hodwxv.podbean.com/e/utah-mule-deer-numbers/

A little dramatic but worth 30 mins. Watching great scenery and a perspective on the difficulty of Mule deer migrations. https://www.trcp.org/92miles/

Fisherman finds a monster buck DH out fishing. Sad he didn’t keep the skull plate. https://www.themeateater.com/hunt/big-game/video-angler-finds-giant-mule-deer-dead-in-river

Bad news for those hunting deer and elk near Cody. One local’s perspective on how the Wolves have ravished the North Fork area. Many of those units are now limited quota for elk but he doesn’t paint a pretty picture. Sorry if this was already posted as it’s from last year.

Mr. Shaul, a Jackson resident, he filed the complaint in Teton County's 9th District Court Clerk’s Office; it is assigned to Judge Timothy Day, records show. The two commissioners named are Commissioner Ralph Brokaw and Commissioner Gay Lynn Byrd. WYOGA is ineligible under Wyoming law to...

“Wildlife Taskforce Update? Anyone? Anyone? It's still crickets from the G&F Department on this new Taskforce which is supposedly going to tackle and magically solve all of these controversial tag allocation, point system and other issues. I've left several messages with Sen. Hicks - who has a...

Wyoming Game Commission has approved one of the largest 4 point APR across most of Southern Wyoming stretching from area 82 in Baggs going west and all throughout Region K and up in not the Southern end of the Wyoming Range. This list may not be all of them but 82, 100, 131, 132, 134, 168 are 4...

Any Wyoming resident hunters tired of losing out on many of the premium sheep, moose, goat and other hunts may want to consider supporting this group as the Outfitters continue to stack the deck against us and we lose far too many tags to NR who do not offer reciprocal terms for tags...

Now the issue is settled, will the Game and Fish open up area 79 elk and the Bison and Moose areas for hunting? “In sum, because the Wyoming Legislature did not authorize any cession of jurisdiction to the federal government over park inholdings in connections with the 1949-50 negotiations, no...

Anybody ever had issues with all the errors on the map on the Wyoming state trust lands public access map? The site has multiple errors. One state section and adjacent BLM section (2 sections) I was looking at accessing show in Magenta colour which means adjacent public lands have public...

New SxS cow elk call. Works best at the end of the rut.

Why are there 1/3 of the mountain goat permits being issued to non-residents in hunt area 3? Is this a rounding effect? If so, why do they round up in both the type 1 and type 2 hunts of area 3? In area 3 the 3-1 hunt has 18 residents and 6 non-resident licenses and in 3-2 there are 12...

Another series of lawsuits to close the elk feed lots due to CWD. Does the Sierra Club really want 2,000 elk starving, dead and rotting elk corpses and being ripped apart by predators throughout the millionaire ranchettes in the Jackson valley a more appealing option? Not to mention tens of...

It appears even the Indians are now actively managing bear numbers. They offer 2G, I prefer a minimum of 3G as my old iPhone does better with it, LOL. Who posts such nonsense, just spell it out as $2000, though I doubt the Indians will rat out their buddies. The comment section is surely...

Some good examples of how genetics can affect antler growth. I know it’s difficult to alter this much in wild deer populations but research from many deer herds show culling and management buck strategies can help alter a deer herd genetics, especially with targeting spike deer bucks. These...

A bit lengthy but a good listen if you hunt Idaho as a nonresident for 2021. Big changes have taken place. If you have 20 mins. a good listen. Skip forward 5 minutes if you are time limited...

Not a big Eastman’s fan but they do a pretty good job with this one. Some of the big guns experts in Western Wyoming like the Biologist Gary Fralick and Dr. Monteith PhD UW discuss the complexities of declining mule deer herds and management.

Having hunted the Wyoming Range as a resident for over 40 years the deer numbers are at an all time low. One of the problems I see and have been guilty myself is Hunting in the North part of G or H on Sept. 15th, used to be the 10th, then hunting in the south end in area 135 on the Oct. 1st...

If this CWD ever jumps to humans deer hunting is doomed. Now scientists are worried it will cross over to humans who unwittingly eat meat from infected animals. Michael Osterholm, an infectious disease professor from the University of Minnesota, estimates that up to 15,000 infected animals are...

Apparently Carbon County making a big issue of this for this year. From another forum, CORNER CROSSING - CARBON COUNTY WYOMING I have news on corner crossing within Carbon County from the District Attorney Ashley Mayfield Davis and Sheriff Archie Roybal. I have confirmed with both agencies...
