    WY NR Elk Draw Results

    Sweet! Yet, bummer for the other guy. Didn't that guy have nine points? WY Bighorn point creep keeps getting steeper.

    WY NR Elk Draw Results

    @BigFin said he might be applying with a sweepstakes winner for 2022 in the Bighorns. I wonder if they got their tag?

    WY NR Elk Draw Results

    My son is a senior in high school and we joined his points with two guys who kept missing Area 7 by a point. Went into the draw with an '8' average for our party of 3 and were successful. We are so stoked!

    Foreign trophy processing problems

    From the little I've seen of your taxidermy skills, I assume you considered the alternative of boiling the heads on your own and then shipping them. So why didn't you do it yourself after the headache of the first trip?

    Too Many Elk

    He might be a gadfly, but if you choose to value or at least consider his information over form, there is much to learn.

    Too Many Elk

    Y'all need to listen to BuzzH. He does a great job of separating the informational chaff from the wheat. Even if he called your idea dumb, I'm glad you voiced it, because he takes the time to explain why it doesn't work. If you still think your idea works, then explain why it should work.

    Storing camp food in AK? No trees. E fence?

    I watched a podcast that addresses GoHunt's recent caribou hunt that I linked above. In it, they describe the details of logistics, access, packing, bears, regulations, etc. The video podcast is here: In that podcast, they discussed camping out on the tundra where there are no trees around to...

    Looking for Tent Advice & Insights

    I've seen those too. I'm in a group that talks about tipi tents and the collective masses who order from Luxe eventually do get the product. They are extremely slow and customer service is not the best. When you upgrade to the SO product, you pay for both service and product. SO's fabric...

    Retirement goal changed due to inflation?

    I'd like to respond (not critically, but appreciatively and constructively) to both comments above. Also to an earlier one that was comically deprecative regarding financial advice on a hunting forum. This place on the web is a nice sweet spot with a high percentage of hunters who've excelled...

    Storing camp food in AK? No trees. E fence?

    Good question.. I'm asking the same thing in the comments below the GoHunt video for a recent caribou hunt: https://www.gohunt.com/content/watch/gohunt-originals/nothing-but-daylight-an-alaska-caribou-bowhunt

    Thank you HuntTalk, and a prayer request

    Prayers for you, your son, wife, and family sent. Asked God for wisdom given to your doctors and wisdom for you all to make good decisions regarding his outcome. Thanks for taking a leap and sharing your personal struggle; while it is a sad time, I am hopeful and even more grateful for this...

    Sleeping wet in a sleeping bag.

    Corey and Randy recently did another interview with a Sitka Gear rep, except it was John Barklow. Barklow was with the Navy for 26 years and taught survival in Alaska during that tenure. Many of the tweaks discussed on this thread were addressed in that podcast as they addressed possible...

    Wyoming Corner Crossing Defense Fund

    Initially, I suspected Fred will want to sell his ranch after this result or after the Fall of 2022. Yet, my guess is he will finance the right lobbyists to change the rules a little, then sell it once he knows he can have better control over the access to the public parcels. Hunt it while you...

    Why my pack sucks: Kifaru, Stone Glacier, Exo, Seek, Mystery Ranch, Kuiu, etc.

    I have a 5500 with K2; the fabric and stitching are fraying too. The lumbar pad, hip belt, and stretch fabric on the back's padding are starting to fray. It's a 2018 pack and it looks more used than my old blue Kelty (about 65 ci) that I bought at a flea market for $50 in 1996. The Kelty has...

    Wyoming Corner Crossing Defense Fund

    Correct. Here's an article addressing the matter regardless of the outcome of this tresspassing case: "HB0103 – Prohibit travel across private land for hunting purposes would amend existing hunter trespass laws that a Wyoming attorney general has stated may not apply to corner crossing."...
