    WY AREA 25 Moose Help

    My wife drew an Area 25-1 moose tag and I am looking for a little help. Long story short, I must have fat fingered her application as I thought I applied for her in Area 26. I know next to nothing about area 25. Good thing we looked at her tag last night...and saw that it was for Area 25... I...

    Donate Barbary Sheep Tags Units 29 and 30

    My hunting partner's son was just diagnosed with a brain tumor and the surgery to remove it is scheduled for January 23, 2015. Obviously my hunting partner can't make the hunt, and I do not want to hunt without him. So we are looking to donate our licenses, especially to an organization like...

    Resident Draw Frustration

    I had to wait a little while after the draw before posting as I probably would have written something I would regret later. I have not drawn an elk tag in 10 years as a resident and I am not putting in for units with sheep odds. The odds are generally around 25%-35% for the units I apply for...

    UT G&F Email(s)?

    When do we get the emails? Any insider info or guesses? I am Jonesing, but I quit checking the credit card charges as they did the same thing to me a few years ago, that happened to some of this year's deer hunters. The administrative morons (not the bios or grunts) at G&F offices do not...

    High Demand Tag and Drawing Perseverance

    LAST EDITED ON Feb-25-12 AT 11:45AM (MST)[p]LAST EDITED ON Feb-25-12 AT 11:41?AM (MST) Drawing a great tag comes with a lot of luck, but it also necessitates a plan, and perseverance. I read and commented on this topic in the past on MM, but thought it would be good for others to post their...

    Wyoming Bison Hunt

    I drew number 49 for wild, free-ranging bison this year in Wyoming for the Jackson area hunt. After finding out my draw number, I learned that I had early October for my time slot on the elk refuge, but I planned on being done by then. Boy did I have another thing coming. My big plans to hunt...

    Son's 1st Big Game Animal

    My son turned 12 on Friday and I offered to let him take the day off from school to go hunting. He said that he would like to go to school and not miss his math class. He is doing awesome in school and I don't want to do anything to discourage that, but wow, I skipped a lot of school as a kid...

    New Lite Weight Sheep Gun

    I am so frikin happy to finally get my new sheep gun out on the range. I bought a Tikka T3 Lite SS in 300WSM and then took it to the local gun artist for some weight reduction. He cut the barrel down to 22", turned the barrel down quite a bit, put on some high speed epoxy in a dull black, and...

    Hunter's 1st Big Game Season 2011

    Hey fellow hunters! I think it will be fun for both my son and I to maintain this ?blog? on our hunting and fishing adventures this year. My son?s name is Hunter (he was born on Opening Day 1999, so the name is fitting). This posting is really about Hunter and his first year of hunting big...

    Bear Handgun Taurus 444 Ultralight

    I have a lot of experience with brown/grizzly bears in Alaska and in Montana and Wyoming and never really considered a handgun to be the optimum choice as a bear gun. I still believe that bear spray and a 12 gauge shotgun is one of the best defense combos, but a shotgun is too unwieldy for bow...

    Max Weighted Preference Points

    Can someone tell me what the maximum number of weighted PP's a person can have. I began applying in 1998 or 1999 when I first moved to Colorado and think that I am at max with 3 PP and 9 weighted PP after the 2010 draw. However, when I put 12 PP in the Hunt Draw Odds on Monstermuleys.com, I...

    North Fork of the Salmon Steelhead

    I know it is not hunting, but right now fishing is the only game around. Just wondering if anyone has a fishing report for the NF? My 11 yr old son's spring break is going to be the 7-10th of March and I want to take him fishing. We had a ball last year about that same time and am just...

    SB196 from NR perspective

    Just wanted to add my perspective on the SB 196 debacle. I am just an ordinary Joe making ordinary Joe wages, married to an expat New Mexicana, and our son just became of age to hunt in most states. The three of us have sat down and looked at finances and hunt opportunities and established a...

    Barbary Sheep

    Well, with most all the draws over and me doing my usual (no tags), I am looking to expand my horizons. Maybe someday I will draw a bighorn sheep tag. But for now, it looks like if I'm gonna hunt sheep, it will be Barbary. I have been following the NM MM pages for a long time now as it...

    My 10 yoa Son's First Turkey

    My son and I snuck out today and did a little turkey hunting. This will likely be one of my most memorable days for a long time as my 10 year old son got his first "big" animal. Here in WY, you have to be 12 to hunt big game, but can hunt turkeys at any age as long as a youngster has passed...

    Applications, Drawings, and Is it Worth It?

    I see lots of questions on MM regarding the various drawings in the western states and how to go about applying, is it worth it, and what kind of strategy would a person take to draw desired tags. Frankly, it comes down to how committed a person is in drawing various tags, what quality of...

    Armendaris Oryx

    Just wanted to send an Atta-boy to Ted Turner, the Armendaris Ranch, and Amando (the guide). My wife and I drew Stallion Range Oryx tags a couple of years ago and had a great hunt, even with all the wind. Unfortunately, my wife missed her oryx (multiple opportunities) and ended up with tag...

    Colorado Sheep

    Just got the Colorado sheep/goat regs the other day. I knew that Colorado was going to open up the Desert for Non-resident. I think that is a great opportunity for all. I applaud Colorado for getting to this point with the Deserts. A benefit for those Non Residents is that it will lessen...

    Freak WY Bull

    I shot this bull last Sunday in Western Wyoming. Not a huge bull, but when I saw that his right antler was growing out the center of his forehead, I couldn't pass him up. When I caped out the head, I found the pedicle starts at the normal location on it's head, but then it bends radically...

    Youth Oryx Hunting

    I have to be one of the luckiest guys around. My wife and I drew OIL Oryx hunts last year on the Stallion Range and had a ball. Unfortunately, my wife did not connect on an oryx. She was really disappointed with her shooting, but still had a great time. This year at the local FNAWS banquet...

    New Mexico Oryx Hunt

    All, I am a NR who drew a New Mexico oryx tag on the Stallion Range. My wife drew as well. We had a great hunt in March of this year and everyone was super friendly (to those darn NR's, lol). I focused on getting my wife a oryx, and she had her chances. After missing a couple, I shot one on...

    Montana NR Draw Shenanigans

    In 2006, while researching Montana?s draw odds for moose, sheep and goats, I discovered that the State of Montana had short-changed all of the non-residents that applied for one of the units that MT FW&P had listed on the hunt application as non-resident eligible for 2005. What the state had...

    Camping Area near Stallion Range Gate

    My wife and I are two of the lucky people that drew the Stallion Range Oryx tag for March 21-22. With the weather being nice that time of year, we are looking to camp somewhere near the Stallion Range gate. Does anyone have any recommendations on where to camp? We are not really looking for...

    Colorado Sheep

    Hey MM's, I feel kinda of lost this year on sheep. The two units that I know and have been putting in for aren't available to NR's this year. I know quite a number of units real well, but none of the units that have a NR tag this year. When I was a CO resident, I put in for other units, but...

    "Good" Wolf

    I just thought that I would show a picture of a "good" wolf. I shot it in Alberta, Canada after I filled my moose tag. The outfitter left me in camp so I went out on my own and found this one. There was a black one with this male and it would have been a "good" wolf too if I would have had...

    Reduced Recoil Loads for a 243 WSSM

    I have been shooting a really fun 243 WSSM in a 70 FWT. However, it does kick pretty good for such a little caliber. My 9 yoa son wants to shoot it, but I think that it kicks too hard for him and I don't want him to get gunshy. Does anyone have a tested reduced recoil load for that caliber...
