    A new Director for Game and Fish? Good or a battle?

    I was told by a little birdie who works for GF that they were going to conduct a national search for the new director. Swell.

    A new Director for Game and Fish? Good or a battle?

    I would have little confidence in anyone this governor would select.

    Interesting Graph Upper Shoshone Mule Deer Antler Size

    I agree with you on any sample size of 5,6 and 7 year old bucks. They don’t exist for the most part. Most of the bucks harvested are 2-4 year olds. They have run the lion, wolf and hunter gauntlet until they screw up. Not usually very heavy antlers. Lots of older 2x3, 2x4 etc. type bucks. For...

    Interesting Graph Upper Shoshone Mule Deer Antler Size

    I saw this at the Cody Meeting. It is a graph of antler size for mule deer harvested from the Upper Shoshone Herd. Those of you thinking about booking a guided mule deer hunt in the area for 5k-7k might be interested in this graph. Just sayin…mh

    Cody Region Meetings 2024

    Who knows. That opinion has been expressed to me by Wyoming GF on many occasions. Many years ago when I lived in North Idaho that was a concern amongst fish and game when they allowed whitetail doe harvest but not mule deer doe harvest.

    Yes, Tony Mong brought up the change with the 55 and 56 tags. I apologize for not listening closer and reporting.

    Cody Region Meetings 2024

    Micheal, that would sum up much of last night in Cody. Before the meeting, most GF people mingled with each other and the select swells they hang with. The exception was the new Sunlight warden who went out of his way to mingle with the crowd and shake hands. I trust him. He has good intentions...

    Cody Region Meetings 2024

    What I meant in my feeble way was extended whitetail seasons after mule deer seasons have closed. I believe their confidence in the hunters knowledge of the difference between the two is the concern. In my home in 105, the place was crawling with whitetails. I remember before 2010, I used to see...

    Cody Region Meetings 2024

    I went to the Cody meeting last night. Attendance was good. For the most part the crowd was quiet. A constant theme was CWD. This was discussed, graphed and statistically presented to the public. The talk was about the percentage of animals carrying the disease in various units. There was...

    JCR, statistics, counts, objectives and harvest reports

    Went to headquarters again in Cody seeking the information I requested the previous week. No JCR will be available until late Summer. Lots of good information in those reports but it won’t be available. I received the proposed regulations for 2024. In the Cody area they have yet again altered...

    JCR, statistics, counts, objectives and harvest reports

    JCR, statistics, counts, objectives and harvest reports

    As of March 15,2024 the Wyoming Game and Fish has yet to publish online the JCR for 2023. They also have not published online the harvest reports for deer and elk for 2023. The public meeting in Powell is scheduled for March 21, 2024. It is my understanding that most of the meetings in the Cody...

    Cody Region Meetings 2024

    I received an email from G&F concerning local meetings in Cody Region concerning hunt changes including boundaries, tag numbers and season dates. A local warden visited me at my home to discuss some of the proposed changes. In the email it states “ We want your thoughts”. I believe the major...

    JCR, statistics, counts, objectives and harvest reports

    JM 77, I share your frustration. I really don’t know where to turn for answers. I have folks in the area who no longer attend public meetings because they believe they are consistently lied to. I believe I have been labeled a crank by many local Game and Fish employees. Many hunters feel there...

    JCR, statistics, counts, objectives and harvest reports

    I have been looking at Job Completion Reports put out by local Wyoming Game and Fish every year in an attempt to understand what is going on in hunt areas with deer and elk populations. Much if what is contained in those reports is often repetitious. The numbers are often used to justify changes...

    What do you think it would take for region G to come back?

    Your question proves the point I made in the last sentence of my original post.

    What do you think it would take for region G to come back?

    I have hunted G and H over the years. Great country. Mother nature delivering milder winters and wet springs would be a huge help. Eliminating the outfitters and long range shooters would help. Eliminating point averaging couldn’t hurt. Self control by hunters would really help. Reducing elk...

    For Sale Burris 2-7 handgun scope with posi-lock and rings and base

    I was asked if the scope could be mounted on a picattiny rail. If your revolver has such a mount, it would work. I was also asked about the reticle. The reticle is a plex. Mh

    Most federal district judges don’t retire outright. They become senior judges that just hear limited cases. Unfortunately, Judge Malloy in Montana does that despite his retirement. This judge will likely handle the sentencing in this case. Just sayin…mh

    Recruitment WY Game and Fish

    I have thought about this after reading the responses. Many of the wardens have had to work themselves through the ranks before becoming wardens. This might include grizzly bear duty. As a warden, you may be forced to toe the company line and regurgitate what the biologists and bosses tell you...
