    Wyo Moose unit 1

    Boblandcat, 1 will be fun...especially if you scout in the summer! If you happen to draw look me up and I can probably help out!

    Wyo Moose unit 1

    Shootbrownelk, I'm pretty sure you are right! The moose tend to hang out in the timber in 38/41 so are often tougher to find than in the Bighorns but there are some monster bulls available! Bull tags may be the toughest in Wyo to draw.

    Layering cloths for early season

    I like Sitka base layer camo shirts if it's warm. A relatively cheap shirt option is Cabela's microtex that come in 2 thickinesses. I wear the heavier one a lot and it wears like iron and dries super fast. I like thinsulate vest and Sitka 90 jacket. Another necessity is a breathable rain...

    To ponder as you fill out your CO apps...

    We had deep snow about a week ago in the north front range of Colo. Since that time it's been in the 40's and 50's and barely freezing at night. It is supposed to be in the 40's to 60 the next 10 days. That ought to give the deer on the Front Range and Eastern Colo a break. I have a feeling...

    Spring Turkey Hunting Partner - Colorado

    I hiked around 10 miles yesterday in the north front range in Colo and didn't find 1 track. There was a little too much snow and the birds haven't shown up on the public land yet where I hunted last year. With all the snow I have a feeling they are on private down low. Merriams in the north...

    Sitka Layering question

    I use a variety of thickness tops depending upon the weather, how active I am, and whether I'm backpacking or truck camping. I like Sitka base layer tops because they are camo. I often wear the base layer top alone or in combo. The next layer I use a lot is Cabelas microtex shirts. They come...

    Purr-fect decoys

    The purrfect decoy actually don't look too bad but are a little pricey for what you get. I had the flat Montana decoy and ended up returning it because it would disappear if turkeys were off to the side. I mostly use Avian X hens and boy do they look nice. Deflated they aren't too bulky but...

    Antelope Glass Question

    Do yourself a favor and buy quality optics! You pay for what you get! If all else fails pick up an almost new set of Leicas or Swaros on Craigslist, Ebay, etc for about 1/2 the price of a new set. If you don't do much hunting it may not matter but if you intend on hunting much it is...

    Wyo Moose unit 1

    On a positive note....it may be interesting to compare what's going on in Wyo compared to Colo with moose? Just about every year the CPW has opened new units to moose hunting in Colo. Currently the moose population in Colo is expanding and increasing by leaps and bounds. There are no...

    Favorite Sitka pants?

    One thing to consider is...if you wear too heavy/warm of pants you may sweat but if you have several layers you have many more options..and can change things up as things warm up and cool down during the day. i often find myself stripping/adding a base layer on the same day while hunting. I...

    Insoles for kenetrek hard scrabbles

    Forgot to mention that you may also want to look into socks with padding in the bottom of the sole/feet...such as Thorlos. They come in different thickness for different weather conditions...and dry super fast.

    Insoles for kenetrek hard scrabbles

    Everyone seems to have different feet. What works for someone may not work for someone else. I replace the insoles in all of my boots...even premium quality boots sometimes don't have the right insoles for my particular feet. My feet need lots of padding. Superfeet work great for a lot of...

    NR - AK unguided sheep/goat/bear

    The proposal makes a lot of sense to me. My guess is that outfitters heavily lobbied against this proposal? It's pretty easy to over look the obvious when quarreling over who gets what tags. What about sheep, grizz, and goat health and population? In the unit I sheep hunted this year the...

    NR - AK unguided sheep/goat/bear

    I guess we can agree to disagree on NOK vs Alaska res harvest success! If you don't mind please include the stats web page in your next post with NOK vs Alaska res vs nonres guided harvest success data? It would be great if you can back up your statements above with data? I know for a fact...

    NR - AK unguided sheep/goat/bear

    Buzz, I am 100% in favor of supporting those that want to hunt unguided in Alaska and Wyoming wilderness! I hope this catches wind and becomes a reality! Glad to see you are in favor of both as well!

    NR - AK unguided sheep/goat/bear

    Alaska conditions No worries Buzz, I've been hunting and fishing self-guided in Alaska for the past 35 years with great success and have learned a great deal about weathering storms and being prepared for the worse conditions. Like usual I'm sticking up for OnYourOwn Alaska residents plus...

    NR - AK unguided sheep/goat/bear

    Nok Bambistew, would you agree that nonres guided hunters have higher % harvest success than Alaska residents? Do you agree that nonres guided hunters also likely have higher harvest success than NOK hunters? If NOK tags are eliminated and the same proportion of tags go to nonres that means...

    Gearing up for WY Mule Deer this fall

    Wyo deer list Just like just about everything else you get what you pay for with optics. If you want the best I'd get Swaro's or Leicas in 8 x 42 or 10 x 42's. You'll have a little wider field of view and a little lighter weight with the 8's. Next to binos my must have is a spotting scope...

    Colorado Public Land Merriam's

    Colo Merriams Here's a map: http://cpw.state.co.us/learn/Pages/TS-MerriamsTurkey.aspx I'm color blind so both colors look the same to me! I've only seen pure white merriams along the north Front Range. Most of the turkeys I've seen in the foothills tend to move around quite a bit unless they...
