>Any good places to eat over >there? Stones Throw is hands down best place to eat in Thermop. New Chinese restaurant in town I've heard is really good so far.

As a resident I'd like to see the prices of our tags go up, especially moose, sheep, and goat. I think they are way under priced and maybe if the prices were higher people wouldnt be applying every single member of there family even if they dont care that much about drawing a tag. Mostly...

My brother drew #83 bull as a resident. Im thinking that might be low enough to get a tag, but dont know what the proposed quota is supposed to be this year.

So, is there anywhere that I can find what the draw odds for sheep were this year, or is that even something that New mexico does?

No sheep tag for me, couldnt believe it! Actually not surprised, though the bigger question is, when will I get my money back? Also does New Mexico have draw odds anywhere?

They must have heard me complaining. The WY G&F website now says the results will be available at 8:00 am tomorrow May 4th

LAST EDITED ON May-03-12 AT 11:06AM (MST)[p]I've seen no word yet. Its only a couple of working days from the 8th which is the tentative draw date they list, and for as long as I can remember they always post the results up to a week before that date. Heck they haven't even posted a date yet...

Looks like area 4 had a big cut in tags as well. I had heard there was some witer kill in area 4, perhaps 5 experienced some of that too. Hate having to see big cuts in tag numbers like that because it usually means sheep numbers are down, though I wondered how they could keep giving 70+ tags...

The easy answer to your question would be a Toyota Tacoma with a 4 cylinder engine. Or an older 1989-1995 Toyota pickup with the 22re 4 cyl. Your all around mileage in a pickup like this will be better than any full size truck period. Sure some of the new half ton pickups can get good mileage...

Im thinking it might be the first part of next week, would be cool if we knew this week though!

I think you'll find that in Wyoming there are so many antelope that there are in fact areas that produce big bucks every year but aren't any of the areas "talked" about on the internet or in magazines etc. I do a lot of driving in areas like these for work and Im always looking at antelope and...

76 is good, and Im not sure what you mean when you say no residents apply for it? I've always thought that 76 wasnt all that easy to draw. I prefer 83, but lately 76 seems to be producing better quality bucks than 83. 76 has lots of antelope and quite a bit of public land and a fair amount of...

Im kind of surprised theres this much interest in this particular ewe hunt. I thought that since this is a backpack or horse back style hunt in grizzly infested wilderness in late october that not too many people would be interested. So far its looking like that is not the case. I also...

Area 1 with 15 resident points. Looking at about 1:300 odds in the random and probably another 20 years before Im in the max point pool for this area. Sucks that I wasnt old enough to hunt when they started the point system. Could draw most any area with 15 points except the best of areas...

I applied for it as well, and so did my brother. With this many people that applied on monster muleys alone I would venture to say the odds are going to be very steep. My prediction is less than 10% draw odds for a resident on the ewe tag. Wouldn't be surprised if it is much worse than that...

If I read right the article stated that Coy lost his Forest Service permit in 2005. So that would mean to me that if he guided anybody for money on NFS land after that point he was breaking the law. Mistertwister, if you went sheep hunting with Coy in 2006 and he guided you for pay on NFS land...

G&F posted on Facebook that the results would be available the 21st at 8:00 am.

As mentioned above, and from everything I have read an have been following it is pretty likely that we will have a hunting season for wolves this fall if everything goes according to plan. Wyoming also wanted a no sue clause but it was not granted because the wolf bill isnt yet approved by the...

If you are hunting the early season you are restricted to the wilderness only. Which means if youre a non-resident you have to hire a guide or have a resident with you. I'd say its a pretty good area and I have thought a lot about hunting it myself but it just seems there is probably a lot of...

I'd have to suggest almost anywhere in the Big Horn Basin. With the exception of Cody real estate is pretty good as compared to the rest of the state. I would argue that parts of the "basin" could be considered the banana belt of WY. Most all of Wy has lots of hardcore wind and the wind river...

Hey Adventurewriter, I sent you a PM.

I've hunted 114 before but don't know anything about 78. I have never heard of 114 being a migration hunt, not sure what thats about. The year I had the tag was during the 10 year drought so I never did find a big buck. I've only hunted it once and only put in for it once. Its really hard to...

Its my understanding that there is a fairly heavy concentration of sheep that winter in certain drainages of the Greybull river. With that being said I believe the intent is to reduce some of the numbers of ewes so as to reduce the risk of disease transmission. I kinda wish they would try...

I too am excited about the area 5 ewe tag. Since Im in the 5 year waiting period right now id love to have a ewe to go with my ram mount. Though i have a feeling the ewe tag may be extremely difficult to draw. Maybe not so bad for a non-resident being its only valid in the wilderness. But...

Thats a huge bull no doubt. Looks like the G2 is gone and some of the G3 on the right is missing some. I wonder if the 427 score is if it had the missing tines? If the gross score is 427 as is, broken tines and all then there is probably another 20+ inches that would be added to the 427 had...

I wouldnt hesitate on that ram either! Is this in the devils canyon unit, area 12?

Ive got a few pics of that ram that are a little better but they are on my phone and Im not sure how to post them. Ive seen this ram a couple times and he appears to just be a white sheep and not an albino. Im no biologist but his eyes and nose are not pink and look to be normal in color. I...

Thats a nice bull Topgun! Looks like the southern end of the big horns...is that mahogany butte in the background?

RE: I have a great idea I really feel that the WY G&F does a great job managing the game, could they do better...sure. But all in all I wouldn't change a thing. I don't think there is a state out there that better balances opportunity and quality. WY has quality hunts for all species and...

Im not sure why you are having problems. Maybe you need a set of chains that fit better. I have a 99 Tacoma and have chained it up on front plenty of times and have had no problems. My brother has a 98 and chains up dozens a times a year on the front also with no problems. The 95-2004...

Wyoming has one of the best and fairest systems when it comes to hunting. Would be ludacris to change it. A point system would also be a step in the wrong direction. The only thing I could agree with would be higher license fees. It aint broke, dont fix it...just leave it alone!

As a resident, oh what I would give if they would raise the price of sheep, moose, and goat tags for us. Id gladly pay $1000 or more for any of the three. I know tons of people who put in just to put in and put in all of their family members they can. There are so many "tire kickers" in the...

We were on the cusp of a Grizzly season a couple years ago before they were put back on the endangerd species list. Talking with one of the grizz guys for the G&F in cody it would have happened and will likely happen if they can get them de-listed again. One thing I noticed in the reports of...

I have the katadyn hiker pro and i love it. Works great, seems to filter the water really good. Pumps water pretty darn fast and the filter lasts a long time. Couldnt ask for much more.

I am currently planning a DIY caribou hunt as well. So far I havent had a lot of luck. Ive sent emails to probably 10 different air service companies and haven't got one reply and that was a week ago. If im not mistaken I dont believe there are any caribou on kodiak island. From my research...

Well Ive hunted every deer area around where I live in NW Wy and all of which I know extremely well. To find a 170 buck with tag in hand has proven impossible for me so far. I put lots of miles on foot every year and even hunted 17 days straight this year and didnt find anything better than...

Im starting to research my deer hunt for next year and I have some general questions on areas 151, 152, and 155. First what kind of bucks can be found in these areas, is a 170 gonna be near impossible or what should I expect. I have mules and will be packing in, so that leads me to my other...
