60 Minutes Wyoming Green Energy Segment
They are going to destroy that entire area before long. It is sad and disgusting. Some of that land is some amazing wild areas. The stupid power line they just built from Sinclair, down through Colorado destroyed a ton of good habitat and ruined some of our family hunting spots... It is...- WYelker

2023 Colorado Mule Deer Day-By-Day Videos
Both.... It is sad... I could get into a bunch of data for the area but, it is very apparent the plan. I think the other point. Is if they start killing down the animals now, people will eventually forget how good it was and in 6-8 years when the wolves do all the damage they will not be nearly...- WYelker

2023 Colorado Mule Deer Day-By-Day Videos
Sad and pathetic what the CPW has done to deer in NW Colorado. Sorry but it is down right criminal what you saw compared to what that hunt could be... It is not CWD but piss poor management. It is nothing more than greed, and $$$...- WYelker

SE Deer really that much worse than 19/20?
My son and I hunted in SE MT in 2019 and 2020. We did this under the mentor program and when he was 10 and 11 years old. We had 2 awesome hunts over the week of Thanksgiving. 1 mule deer buck and 3 decent white tail bucks harvested. I am thinking about going back as a fun alterantive hunt to WY... -

Governor Polis appoints three new members to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission
He did not help at all. I was at a meeting in Aspen and he was clearly not opposed to the idea at all. While not flat out supporting it, he was not opposed at all. There were other CPW officials who were clearly more concerned and against the issue. I recall Broderick, Will, a Guy named Gary all... -
Lower end Back Pack Tents? Suggestions?
Well my old light weight 3 season Eureka tent is on its last trips. It is time to replace it. I don’t need or want any high end $$$$ tents. But something affordable and that will work. I think my Eureka was like $130 and it lasted Almost 13 years of use…. So what is out there that is packable...- WYelker

Which is harder: public land archery or public land rifle?
Archery is harder but a better hunt and more enjoyable. Killing elk with a rifle is not much a challenge unless you really restrict yourself on what you are willing to shoot… -
Urban Deer In Rawlins, Wyoming, Are Dropping Newborn Fawns On People’s Porches
Haha. No I don’t think people feeding town deer has any real net affect on the animals. I do know this of the 14 deer we fed all winter, 0 died and at least 6 have fawns now… just outside of town there are no fawns at all and over 1/2 of those deer would have been dead. Would the game and fish... -
Urban Deer In Rawlins, Wyoming, Are Dropping Newborn Fawns On People’s Porches
So how exactly would they know who the mother was if the tourist picked it up and drove around with it? Sorry but I have worked on several neonatal deer studies where we go and handle the mule deer fawns with in hours of being born, fit them with collars etc. Never saw a fawn abandoned by the... -

Biden Announces Lead Ammo/Lure Ban Across Eight National Wildlife Refuges by 2026
I do not understand how anyone can be ok with this? This is about more than just hunting. It is about the government doing all they can to regulate and limit our 2nd Amendment. How can anyone still support the side that is constantly trying to remove our most basic of rights…- WYelker

Does Buck Harvest harm herd recovery? Studies?
I am struggling to find good clear data and studies on this issue. I know it is generally accepted that male harvest is not a limiting factor on herds and on herd recovery as long as the male to female ratio is high enough for the females to be bred. Does anyone have good studies on this topic... -
Wyoming joins the elk wars
Yeah I don’t see there being much traction for the solutions presented at all. We don’t want transferable landowner tags and we don’t need them. The population is determined/controlled by cow elk harvest and the game and fish have the ability to increase cow harvest easily. Any rancher who wants... -
Some early season brook trout action….
Well we did not take enough pictures, but my son and I snuck into a high mountain lake and found some really great brook trout action. We packed our belly boats and waders and flipper in and spent the day up there. Caught over 30 fish, several over 16” and the biggest was 17.5… One even made it...- WYelker

Thermopolis, WY fishing
And make sure you have a tribal License. The rules are not too hard to follow but they are the rules. Hopper patterns might be on that time. But the fly shop in Thermop will give you a good idea.- WYelker

WY unit 72
Yes it will be better than 22. Access is better and there is more land for public and the chunks are bigger and it is a lot more chopped up so as the lopes move they are more likely to end up on public. -
Lever Action for Pronghorn

WY unit 72
It definitely got hit by winter. The number of tags are always high in the unit and as a result the trophy quality is pretty low. Lots of land to cover but be ver careful. There is a lot of unmarked private and many areas where the blm ends onto private but no fences etc. It is a unit with a...
