    Which WY GMU for 2020 NR w/ (7) Points?

    Rhino - It's important to understand something here. When we publicly discuss specific units that could be drawn last year with five points, and a number of hunters with experience in the area chime in with positive comments about a named unit, post pictures of their success, etc, etc - we...

    WY Preference Points

    I did buy points in August, but the web site still only shows what I had as of 6/19/19. It would be nice if the system allowed us to see our current total, but I have confirmation numbers from the point purchases so I'm not gonna sweat it.

    Google Bot Data Mined Super-Fund Site

    Huge congrats Gomer! You make it sound so tame, but I can only imagine that "holy crap, there's a RAM!!" rush when you spotted that sheep.

    Actual Weight of Meat - Can we be honest?

    Nasty steep spot, so no pics that really show body proportions well. He looked massive to me, but he's the only elk I've killed or helped to disassemble. We left the hindquarter bone in for the packout, with legs cut off just below the hock. We deboned everything else in the field - front...

    Who has the best draw system?

    For real. I enjoyed the heck out of my Utah hunt, and understand the 'gets in the blood, gotta do it again' feeling, but I would really like to shoulder mount this bull (my wife is on board). The problem is I seriously don't know where to put it. Our house and my office are both full of...

    Leupold scope for 308 bolt action

    I put a 3-9x40 Marksman with Windplex reticle on my .308 Weatherby. It costs a few $ less but still has the full warranty, and it works great for my situation, which sounds a lot like yours. I only rarely have opportunity to shoot game further than 200 yards, but do get out West most years of...

    Utah Bull

    Thanks all. Yes, that 4 is bladed and has a nub there. Some of us in PA might "hang a ring on it". ;)

    Utah Bull

    I've been around this board a long time but don't get to hunt the West enough to contribute often. But that hasn't kept me from lurking and reading and learning for years. Many thanks to Randy (and Moosie before that) for the years of education I've acquired through this site, not to mention...

    Oh yes Wyoming

    Brother and cuz are both in for Type 1 and 6 lope tags; hoping to have tags for a stop in WY on our way back from my LE Ut elk hunt. It'll be their first lope hunt if they draw.

    Utah is hitting CC cards.

    Wasatch Early Any for me. I had 18 pts. I have only hunted elk a couple of times OTC in the past, and haven't taken an elk. I am beyond excited for this hunt!

    Is it always going to be like this?

    That's a beauty! And yep, pretty much how it's going to be, lol. Congrats to both of you!

    Need opinions for opening day tomorrow

    Given how you describe the strutter/gamelands spot, I would be going big woods. But with the forecasted wind, locating a bird is going to be more than half the battle, IMO. Because of that, if I had the time to go listen/look tonight, I'd be trying to catch one going to bed on that big woods...

    Wow What’s happening here?

    My post count belies how long I've been here (yes, my 'join date' is correct). Your description of what Hunttalk was a decade ago lines up with how I remember it. But to your point I quoted above - Today it is FAR easier/more possible to research and e-scout from afar than it was when I joined...

    Beer - WY Unit 9 Lusk

    +1. Very nice place, good pizza. Truck stop over at Manville wasn't bad either; not fancy, but decent food and enjoyed the 'local' feel of the place.
