    What’s the formula for Wyoming mud?

    Leaving this Saturday for my first western hunt for Wyoming. An Antelope hunt near Buffalo and will be a day and a half of travel. Wanted to spend Sunday afternoon to “sort it out” but looks like 70% chance of rain. Also rain/snow in forecast for Wednesday. So my question: how much moisture...

    First Time Waterfowl: What are the essentials?

    I have seen many free decoys on Craigslist, usually with a stipulation they are free to youth or new hunters. Many are still in fair condition, if you find some don’t be afraid to re-paint. Good luck cause it’s an addiction.

    Ditching the Dip

    Just crossed 6 months free of smoking for 35 years. Total financial reasons for me, pack and a half a day cost me about 13.00 x 30 = 390 a month. I do feel better, no morning hack, sense of smell and taste increased. I have wild dreams about smoking tho. Patch program with my doc and now...

    wolf kills in about 200 acres in upper michigan on my property. imagine how many happened off camera??

    For what it’s worth there is an online survey from Michigan DNR for a wolf management plan. The state sent me the email yesterday. Michigan’s wolf management plan – created in 2008 and updated in 2015 – is being updated this year, using public input to identify prominent issues, assess public...

    Greetings antelope gurus. My wife and I are holders of wyoming doe/fawn tags in the greater buffalo area for Our first ever western hunt. We drew a unit that has some public but not a lot of great access. Opener shares the same date as elk and deer. Being a pure meat hunt, an excuse of...

    Wyoming Draws are out

    Ho-Li-&%^! Me and the wife drew non res antelope doe/fawn. My first western hunt. Put in for cow elk two years ago then covid hit and had to withdraw. If we both tag out should be around $90.00 a pound after expenses and I don’t really care. This is gonna be two kinds of fun, maybe even three😂😂

    Same Flies, Different Rivers

    You nailed it, It’s the drift more than presentation. It’s shoulder to shoulder steelhead season in Michigan. 30-40 anglers in a 100 yd stretch and I’m the one typically on the fish.

    Darn knees

    Well, my fly tying river junky friend uses a thing called “pot butter”. It’s like a cream or ointment and he swears by it. Legal here in Michigan Gets him back in the river for short sessions Thought I’d throw that out there

    Hunts you consider unethical and why?

    So I checked off High Fence, white tail specific, there is more to it than shooting the monster and some genetically altered deer. I’ve been in many local high fences for surveys, shed hunting, fishing there ponds. The fence operations around here are whitetail only, no natural browse, all...

    Courtesies of elk hunting?

    Thanks for the replies, only OCD when it comes to hunting and fishing. Basically over analyzing this hunt for the past two years on a daily basis. Only a YouTube elk hunter and I don’t see any or very little interaction between groups on TV. Haven’t found the book called “what to expect...

    Courtesies of elk hunting?

    I guess what I truly meant by first glassing spot being by the road was “did I figure out google earth and other escouting data correctly for terrain and visibility”. Should give me a bit of confidence going into plan B C D E F etc with a pinch more confidence as these are well away from roads...

    I did the exact thing last year due to covid work related issues and it was rather simple. I called WGF and they were really helpful and informative

    Biden Administration stops ANWR development

    I can’t believe no one on here has mentioned cannabis/hemp as a replacement for fossil fuels. Biomass can be converted to methane, methanol, gasoline at a fraction of the cost of oil, nuclear, and coal along with reducing environmental cost as well. I’m not advocating legalizing the use for...
