    Post Rut Bulls- How Important is Water?

    I am an avid hunter, but this will be my first elk season here in Wyoming. I am heading out this weekend to scout my area (elevation up to 9600 feet) for the "sanctuary areas" that Randy Newberg describes. Should I be really focused on looking for water seeps and springs? I am not sure how...

    Generosity to non-residents

    Roger that, you are correct. 25% was only for the Bighorn Sheep and Mountain Goat.

    Generosity to non-residents

    I am the rare WY resident who hopes that Non-residents continue to get 25% of the deer, elk, and antelope tags. The revenue WY earns from the annual influx of hunters is substantial. I am fine with hunting fewer trophy hunts, as long as Residents don't go without meat for their freezers.

    White Rag to Attract Antelope?

    After reading all of these comments, I am starting to agree with you.

    White Rag to Attract Antelope?

    I know that Native Americans used to draw Antelope into archery range with white feathers or rags.... I was curious to see if any HuntTalkers have tried this, and how it worked. I am going to feel like an idiot if I try this and the speed goats head for the next zip code!

    WY GEN Elk Tag is Virtually a Once in a Lifetime Tag---Change my Mind

    I agree- but whatever form that takes, it will likely affect my brother too... So, I'm not sure that it will help him get his tag any quicker.

    Wyoming General Elk

    At the current rate of point creep, you'll have enough points to draw the WY GEN Elk Tag in 2026. (You'll have 6 points that year, and WY point creep averaged out has the GEN tag going for 6 that year.) This is assuming that there isn't anything too drastic that happens between now and then. You...

    WY GEN Elk Tag is Virtually a Once in a Lifetime Tag---Change my Mind

    Good thought, wllm. If WY announces that they are changing to a 90/10 for Elk, everyone will try to use their Elk points immediately. That will be a wild year!

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    I tend to agree with this sentiment. Besides, if gasoline and diesel prices continue to rise, the inflation will continue to rise, which is bad for the stock market. Everything is delivered with fuel... and as the fuel prices climb, prices for everything delivered by fuel will rise as well. I...

    WY GEN Elk Tag is Virtually a Once in a Lifetime Tag---Change my Mind

    Here is an email that I sent to my brother in Indianna today, after realizing just how bad point creep is for the GEN Elk Tag. Anybody care to disagree? (I used a .5 to label those point holders that fell between 2 numbers on the draw charts. There is no sense in confusing my brother with extra...

    7mm-08.... Avoid the shoulder?

    Ok, thank you for all of the replies. If you heart shoot a whitetail, it can run 40 yards or more before piling up (usually in the thick stuff). I thought that a 500-pound animal would run that much further if I didn't take out the shoulders. Doesn't sound like it, from the feedback. Much...

    7mm-08.... Avoid the shoulder?

    You don't prefer a shoulder shot on an elk? I have only shot deer up to this point, but as far as I can tell, the shoulder shot requires far less tracking than a heart shot.

    7mm-08.... Avoid the shoulder?

    I will begin elk hunting this year (I moved to WY in 2020), and I am more accurate when shooting my 7mm-08 than with a borrowed 30-06 or 300 WSM. However, I am curious if a good 7mm-08 bullet will reliably punch through a bull elk's shoulder blade. Thoughts and personal experiences? (I do not...

    Wyoming Region D

    Yes, I hunted unit 76 last year, and plan to drop by again this this year (if I don't fill my tag in another unit first). I saw good numbers of does, but not much by way of bucks. I know one guy out of a group that got a 3.5 year old 4x4 + brow tines in 76 last year, but he was the only one in...

    Antelope Advice for Beginners (WY Unit 21)

    Oh, I almost forgot.... You should really arrive one or two days before season starts- you'll be able to drive around and find the areas that hold Antelope. That way you can make your "game plan" for opening morning based on actual Antelope sightings, and not optimistic hopefulness. :)

    Antelope Advice for Beginners (WY Unit 21)

    Yeah, I'll help. There are about 3 areas that contain really good Antelope habitat and also allow you to get more than a mile from any road- find them (they are easy to find) and hike about a mile off the road before daylight on opening morning. The hunting pressure should run some Antelope in...

    Whatever you do, get out of your truck as little as possible. That end justifies all means.

    Well, I wouldn't advise that course of action, but it would be effective. You Sir, have chosen your alias well.

    Will inflation affect your hunts?

    Those gas prices are starting to get a little crazy. Just curious, has anybody's answers changed over the last 4 days? :D
