Moving to SoCal
There are some hunting opportunities, but I recommend you learn to like salt water fishing or if you need the stalking aspect learn to spear fish. San Diego is incredible for that. Take advantage of what San Diego has to offer rather than mourn what it doesn't. -
guns stand for ducking
That looks like a great solution. Only problem for me is I view it as one more piece of gear to carry in, carry out and lose.- Goatshoes

NV buck down!
Congratulations. Even a small buck would be an accomplishment with a bow by spot and stalk. -
Hunter orange??
I will wear it on pack out for sure (even during archery season) and likely if not in immediate pursuit of game. -
How long is too long in the cooler for a Pronghorn?
I use the jumbo size ziplocks and keep the zipped end above the ice/dry ice line. https://www.amazon.com/Ziploc-Big-Bags-Double-Zipper/dp/B00J5IM64Q/ref=sr_1_4_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1533232893&sr=1-4&keywords=jumbo%2Bziplock%2Bstorage%2Bbags&dpID=61Gw-fPSf7L&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch&th=1 -
How long is too long in the cooler for a Pronghorn?
I think you'll be fine. In 2016 we whacked 4 pronghorn near the unit you are hunting. Several of the goats were processed but not frozen and one or two were quartered and unfrozen. On our way back home to Southern California we stopped for three days of elk hunting in Utah where we stored the... -
sleeping bag syndrome
I feel the same way about the mummies but if you want to stay warm in cold temps its just something we have to deal with unless you want to pack a heavy bag. I'm a similar size to you and have found comfort in the light weight compact 15 degree Kuiu bag. Ofcourse their maybe something more...- Goatshoes

Do you REALLY not like the kill?
Its not the kill that I dislike. That doesn't bother me in the least so long as it is sustainable blah blah blah... But I hate the shit out of seeing anything suffer. So while I don't kill any less, I do all I can to make clean shots and administer a coup de grace asap.- Goatshoes

Wash Game Bags Before Use?
Generally I only use game bags once as they get tied, cut, torn etc., but I do have some unused bags that got bloody. What is the best/safest way to wash them?- Goatshoes

Meat Processing in Wyoming
Having your meat processed by a reputable processor has its place. Especially if you wish to share some with friends or acquaintances who are new to the idea of eating wild game. Professionally cut and packaged meat goes a long way breaking down apprehensions. That said my butcher in the...- Goatshoes

Land Swap
I'm afraid there isn't much I can do as a non-resident, but I wish you good luck. I have driven through Meeker and it is one of the idyllic places I've seen while driving cross country and I often tell my wife that buying that ranch in Meeker would be my dream. Good luck; access to the are is...- Goatshoes

Pellet Grills
Got a Traeger and my buddy has one too. No problems with either but it doesn't do anything special that either my briquette or propane BBQ's can't do. I think that once people spend that much money and realize that it wasn't well spent they convince themselves its awesome so they feel better...- Goatshoes

Antelope Meat and Pets
My dogs seem particularly fond of all red meat game as well (particularly elk and duck). I often toss them raw trimmings when trimming meat for the freezer. The stuff that makes it to the plate is usually seasoned with pepper etc. so I don't give them anything from the plate but will sometimes... -

Hillbillies go a'huntin' (WY Unit 70)
What he said. And if you get snow on the ground followed by a little sunshine, there is nothing easier in the world to spot than an antelope standing on a snow covered landscape with the sun making his/her coat glow.
