On my Wyoming Shiras moose hunt I saw them in all kinds of terrain. From normal willow swamps to alpine areas. I even jumped a good group out of a quakie patch in the middle of big open sage country.
They are big and black, so during warm months they typically find the coolest shady spot in...
I've always felt like the age of a ram is as important in trophy quality as length and mass. The 3/4 curl rule is an attempt to get rams to some level of maturity before they are harvested, but for me, I'd need to see some decent mass on a ram before I attempted to draw any lines to determine...
On my first Stone sheep hunt I encountered a ram with only one horn. He was a beautiful dark Stone but we could only get 7 age rings on his good side. If he would have been legal I would have shot him and been very happy. As it was, I came home empty handed, having hunted 14 hard days without...

As has been mentioned, drawing the tag is the hardest part. Given your handle, I'm assuming you are trying for a Wyoming Shiras moose. I was lucky in the Wyoming draw back when they had lots of moose and I'd say the hunting wasn't that hard. Once you find where they are at it's pretty easy to...
You would think the fine would at least be the cost of buying a moose hunt at an auction. I don't know any trophy moose hunts that don't hit 20K and beyond.
In some states, judges do have the option of taking trucks, guns, etc. that were used in the crime. Unfortunately, most sentences are...
YOU can hunt sheep every year, but the rest of us don't live in Heaven.:sneaky:
Impressive lineup of fine White sheep. Some dark horned old farts on that wall. Very impressive!
Oh that's a bitter pill to swallow with two empty Stone's hunts! I blanked on my first Stone's and I thought I was done. Fortunately for me I reached deep financially one more time and found success. I can't imagine what I would have felt if I hadn't connected on that one. Way to give it your...
Drew NR Wyoming Bighorn in 2004 with top points
Won NWT Dall sheep hunt at UFNAWS banquet in 2010.
Drew Resident Utah Desert Sheep in 2014 with top points.
Playing the points game plus embracing "lady luck" have rewarded me nicely!
Come on G Slayer! You have the expensive gear...why not your son????:ROFLMAO:
Seriously, that experience is awesome. You now have a built in hunting partner for life and while it will be expensive for you to support his hunting desires (not just cloths), it will be totally worth it.
I started...
It blows me away that the CO liberals will tolerate domestic mountain maggots over supporting and giving space to majestic wild sheep.
Maybe it's because we also like to hunt them?
My hat's off,(exposing my cold bald head) to RMBS and crew. A very worthy cause for sure! Tickets Purchased.
To me the shows are a two edged sword.
I hate seeing how commercialized hunting has become, but I also love rubbing shoulders with other like-minded idiots!
I have been the low-ball bidder on a few tags, just for fun...knowing I could never chase the big money boys. It is kinda fun watching...
Congratulations on the sheep tag BradA. Having a sheep hunt to anticipate makes for an exciting time ahead.
I have shot sheep with calibers from 6.5 Creedmoor to 300WSM. They all died quickly and easily. This past year my son used my 28 Nosler shooting 177g Hammer Hunters to kill his...
My son and I hunted 68 last year. I took my buck at 480 yds and he killed his at 670.
We tried getting closer, but the does wouldn't have it and the bucks were following them.
