Well ?…

Didn’t it not come out until 10am MST several years?

Don’t get greedy! Lol

Here’s to hoping for some good luck drawing as a NR. I miss residents odds :(

Yup I’ll have it for my Muzz once it’s needed.

So after e-scouting and some research, 53 has made the short list for a possible early archery mule deer hunt for me. I live in NC and plan on a scouting trip with my boys wherever I draw. I have some general questions about access, deer density, hunting pressure, weather, etc. for someone...

Haha no worries. I was really confused haha

?

Considering I’ve hunted areas in NM where I never saw a buck, I have a hard time believing CO will be worse. If I’m seeing a few bucks a day, I’m probably going to be happy. It’s as much about the adventure and testing gear as trying to be successful.

How is the deer density in 43? I just want to have multiple opportunities and enjoy the high country.

Also feel like it might be mentioning that I’ve never killed a Muley with a bow so my goal is mature in the 160+ range. As much as I’d love to see or shoot a 180, I’d be happy with any mature deer. I care much more about a higher deer density than strictly quality.

Good point about getting away from “crunchy” towns haha. Hadn’t considered that yet. Will also look at goat tags and see how that helps too.

Trust me, unless I end up with a friend who I trust and is a capable packer, I won’t be doing elk. Elk is secondary to mule deer. I’m not a rookie at packing either so I know what I’m getting into. If I had an elk tag in my pocket, I would be very selective of when and where I tried to shoot one...

Thanks for the advice. It’s not my first backpack hunt though. I’ve done it for sheep, elk, and mule deer before.

Hello all! With a sheep hunt coming in 2024, I’m hoping to do a high country deer hunt this season to help prepare for next year. I’m also planning on taking my two boys (8 and 10) on their first backpacking trip this summer to wherever I draw for a scouting trip. We live in NC so it’s no...

As a NR, I would be much more understanding of a 90/10 if WY would get rid of the rule requiring a NR to hire an outfitter to hunt wilderness areas. Saying it’s safe for me to hike, backpack, fish, bird hunt, etc. without a guide is ok but as soon as I have a big game tag it’s illegal, is the...

Well that escalated quickly….

No kidding bud…

If it was a plain black scope cover, nobody would’ve said anything…

Whether shot with a bow, muzz, or rifle, I always take a pic with what I took the animal with. Why you have an issue with the pic to the point you feel it necessary to talk crap about a picture I took, is beyond me….

Pm coming

Didn’t see a single bear. I was surprised about that. I knew we were a little south for Grizz but surprised we didn’t see a black bear.

LMAO! The rifle as it sits in the picture, weighs about 9.5 lbs if I remember correctly. Not as heavy as you might think.

So I shot that deer out of a group of 3. There was another hunter to my left. The deer were so confused as to where the shot came from that they didn’t spook. The other hunter was able to stalk in for a shot too but he missed unfortunately. Also this one reduces recoil like a brake, reduces...

Suppressor. Will never hunt again without it when it’s legal.

Thanks and will keep that more in mind in the future.

So now my opinion as a NR really doesn’t matter bc my personal best is too small?? Wow…

Sending you a PM

You weren’t the OP or that thread. Why so offended?

He scored right at 160”

Lived in NM for almost 5 yrs. I’ve lived out west and experienced what it’s like to be lucky enough to have resident odds. The wilderness rule would make since if you couldn’t literally do anything else but big game hunt without the need of a guide. Don’t come with the safety due to bears...

Read the first post by the OP.

Yeah. Have no issues with the special draw but refuse to go guided for wilderness. That rule is criminal IMO.

Yes but I can’t use my points for her to hunt next year…

Oh I’ve got 7 pts too but being we are NR, we will get more trips if we don’t burn our points at the same time. I’m not against a general unit if I feel good about the area. Just want a solid trip if we go.

I hunted H this yr for the first time as a NR. I’ve never seen so many bucks in so short a time with bad weather to boot. Tagged out opening morning on a personal best. The longer I’m a NR, the more irritated I get when residents complain about “how bad they have it.” Cry me a f***ing River….

Hey guys, My wife has 7 pts and is considering burning them next yr in WY for elk. She turns 40 in May and wants an adventure haha. I’ve been doing the typical research on gohunt trying to find some options and I’ve found some but I easily get frustrated with the NR wilderness rule. I guess...

Gunwerks makes a dialable peep and iron sight system too.

Been there and done that. Love OTC Barbs and miss doing it every yr.
