Montana extends season (whitetail) for CWD
That's pretty much the goal. You kill more deer than CWD so prevalence doesn't spike then population crashes. So let's say you keep deer at 60% total population potential with these hunts. That keeps prevalence at 10-15% (like they've found in Colorado with this published study) and you have... -
Medicine Bow/Mullen Fire
The biologist is a buddy of mine and we bs'd about what he was seeing last weekend. You can't make too confident of a long-term prediction, but he was seeing critters in the burn now. Especially deer. He also said you can still drive to Owen Lake, which seems really late to be able to do that... -
Whitetails near Kaycee
Check out landowner access via the WGFD website. There are a couple offering access in 29 at least. https://wgfd.wyo.gov/public-access/hunter-landowner-assistance/Sheridan-Region#Deer -
Does this Forecast look promising for a Mule deer Hunt?
It could be great, especially if the weather breaks on Saturday right as it gets dark. Or if it stays raining late into the night. It could just pound rain through the evening and clear up at night, though and you may or may not benefit from the rain on Sunday morning. Man, the only way to... -

2019 Obsession FXL: 26" Draw | 70# Limbs

WY Deer Forecast
Looks like my "pretty average" comment was kind of right on for the areas I've spend the most time in. Doesn't look too great in the center of the state, like @JM77 said. I'm excited to see critters start hitting the ground to get a feel for everything overall! Archery antelope starts Saturday. 😊 -
Wyoming deer unit 60 type 1 tag
We'll see! I have a CWD area hunt in Colorado to see what that's like this November. (y) I would imagine you nailed it with it being hard to get away from folks of all varieties. Not a lot of roadless areas and the places without roads do seem to have trails (which were really nice to have... -
Wyoming deer unit 60 type 1 tag
Man, I don't have the historical knowledge of @wytex , but I do figure you should find some nice representations out there, like the one I have attached that was out there in 2019. I'd imagine the biologists will institute a later limited quota hunt for bucks of some kind and issue some more... -
Funky Buck or Solid Buck
These are some stud freaks! Definitely the goal would be something like that! Haha. -

Funky Buck or Solid Buck
Glad to hear from the funky bunch. haha. And those are good comments regarding bowhunting. I'm blessed to live in Wyoming, so I always have rifle season to punch the tag if my archery skills don't pull through. -
Funky Buck or Solid Buck
I drew a tag close to home this year, so I been taking stock of the antelope inventory. I've run into a ton of funky bucks and I just love 'em. I doubt I've seen a goat that goes 80" but I figure probably 1 in 10 meets low to mid 70's. These three funky bucks attached are Curly (I bet you can... -
WY Deer Forecast
Maybe @wytex knows better about the area where he's based and from longer time in the state, but from my limited travels around the state this spring and early summer (basically Cody to Kemmerer to Jackson) things seem to be pretty average. We definitely have needed moisture and lower temps in... -
Wyoming rabbit outlook this year
This was actually a conversation over the winter near Lander. Seemed like rabbit numbers were down, but they've had a good spring. haha. I think you'll find them pretty much any rocky part of the state you visit. Have fun!- Heyjbales

Law Enforcement Cracking Down on Illegal Shed Hunters
Interesting deal here: https://www.jhnewsandguide.com/news/cops_courts/busted-twice-in-three-years-antler-poacher-is-jailed/article_235dd9bf-2e7d-542e-b855-f778434820a0.html?fbclid=IwAR3gmHtVcGHeMMTtcMOb-3llqqHjzYSrxiP68jAUlg30kyErg2EnLK2cStU Thoughts? -
Colorado Mule Deer Decline?
Something to consider is that in units with lower CWD prevalence at or below management objectives, the 3rd and 4th season tag numbers went down. High CWD prevalence units like 12, 13, 23, 24 added more 3rd and 4th season tags in response to the low harvest rates in 2019 as a management tool to... -
E scouting for deer
It's so unit/terrain/hunter numbers dependent. I'll PM you and explain my thoughts on that one in particular. -
E scouting for deer
You're so right! We often get into the mindset that all the populations are migratory, but there are some major populations down low that have nothing to do with the mountains. I won't tell you I'm an expert or big buck aficionado, but I've killed a couple bucks and really have dove into the...
