Teach me about Wyoming mule deer
If you really want a muley buck you should opt for an outfitted hunt. Public land mule deer bucks are getting harder and harder, even for residents. -
Any of you Montana guys feel the earthquake last night?
I bowhunted the Northern Bighorns in WY for elk in Sep. I was awakened one night by my entire camper shaking. I don't know what magnitude the quake was, but it shook hard enough to wake me up from a deep sleep.- manitou1

Ten Sleep WY
Yeah, but every pasture used to be like that. You encountered an anomoly nowadays. I live here and can't remember the last time I saw 300 antelope in two days. -
Ten Sleep WY
Everybody keeps blaming the '22 winter. Antelope have been on steady decline and it's not getting any better. Ten years ago every hayfield had 100-200 antelope. Those same fields today may have none or maybe twenty which is now a large group. As long as the WYG&F keeps over issuing tags and... -

Texas strikes
Headed up to 9400' today. Have been up there for fifteen days (incl pre-scout) and came down to see the wife and pups and restock/do laundry. It rained a lot where I was so I decided to take advantage of the storms. I don't do lightning!😁 Best of luck to you. Kill a big one!- manitou1

I need Elk advice.
I have spent fifteen days on the mountain now... solo. I heard three bugles total up until the 9th. The past three days things have started to pick up a bit. Weather has cooled some also. Last year, same places the bulls were bugling their brains out by Sep 2. -
“Alone” season 11 on History channel Thursday nights
William had to be one of the most positive people I've ever seen on the show. Heck, anywhere. Seemed like a great guy. I thought it would be between Timber and William.- manitou1

Anyone near Gillette that minds sharing some intel on the fires?
Nearly all ranches are leased to outfitters now... and those leases include landlocked public lands. The few that aren't do their own guiding... on landlocked public lands as well as their deeded properties. -
Weatherby Mark V. Like potato chips.
Are they accurate shooters? I get the urge to try/buy one every time I stop by the Weatherby factory. Adam and his team do a LOT for conservation. -
Antelope meat?
Ditto. My burger from last year is elk, mule deer, antelope and whitetail deer. I save all the grind until after season or all tags are filled and then have a "burger grind day". We add beef fat but have used pork fat also. -

Why I didn’t fill my WY general tag.
Yeah, but as I assume you know, not all general areas are created equal. We hunt within 1.5 hours from our town. I know there are better areas and maybe should look into them. I tend to hang close in order to also hunt and scout mulies, which are my passion. -
Why I didn’t fill my WY general tag.
Myself and two buddies (all residents) went two years not filling general elk tags. We burned hundreds of miles of boot leather. Two of the three of us broke the spell last year. -
Anyone near Gillette that minds sharing some intel on the fires?
Yeah, I contacted my buddy and he clarified that the LO cancelled his hunt but was under the assumption WG&F did. They did give him some options for a refund or carry over since his outfitted hunt was cancelled... thus the confusion. That being said, a lot of public burned also as three of my... -
Beef cows and elk during the rut
Shoot the cows. You get rid of invasive species and have really good table fare!!!😁 -
Anyone near Gillette that minds sharing some intel on the fires?
All I know is my two friends from MO had a guided hunt in 22 for this year and WG&F offered them a 25 tag or they could carry their 22 tags over until next year. -
Anyone near Gillette that minds sharing some intel on the fires?
323 sq miles burned as of this morning and more burned today with the high winds. Zero percent controlled on both fires. WG&F closed antelope area 22 for the season after doing dead animal surveys. At least that is what friends of mine who had tags in that area told me today. What area are...
