    Wyoming Legislators Propose Lowering Hunting Age

    Good deal. I’m glad it passed. I’m sure more non resident parents will apply and bring kids along for hunts now.

    Anyone know of a Phone Skope promo code?

    I had a knock off that worked great on the old spotter and Bono’s. I upgraded and got a new spotter and it’s too small to fit the eyepiece. Phone Skope is the only brand I found with one that will work on the new one.

    Anyone know of a Phone Skope promo code?

    Nice. Thanks y’all. $67 is overpriced for just the phone case IMO.

    Anyone know of a Phone Skope promo code?

    Ordering a new phone skope case but can’t find any current promo’s for them. Can’t even find info if they offer a Military or Law Enforcement promo looking at their website.

    HOWA questions here

    Looking for some replacement stalk assistance. My son bought a Howa 1500 .270 from a lady who found it in a storage unit auction. Yes, the numbers have been run and it is free and clear. Our problem is the prior owner made a horrible hand carved bench stalk for it that’s so heavy it’s not...

    Bears with a wheel gun

    I just became a WY Res last year so it was my first year to hunt here much less bait. I learned a lot last year that I will apply this year. Taking a bear has been #1 bucket list and life long dream for me. Taking any big game with a pistol is #1 for my method list. I had 2 bait sites but only...

    Bears with a wheel gun

    I pay the local donut shop $5 for all the daily left overs. It’s either a mile or 1.5 mile hike to either one of my bait sites. 50# of donuts feels like #100 after those hikes in. I usually mix it with popcorn and other stuff to fill the barrels. I remember back in like ‘96 when WA banned hounds...

    Let's see some Mule Bucks

    My sons 1st MD (2020) and a trophy stalk for us. Spotted him with 5 other bucks at about 480y. Stalked to 47y where he made the shot. South central WY public land, general youth tag/ general zone and dozens of other hunters all around us. Say what you want but I was a proud dad that day.

    What are you guys paying for gas?

    It’s almost $3 a gallon here in Rawlins, WY for the cheap stuff. It’s gone up over $.70 a gallon since he took office. We have a good $.15-.20 a gallon spread between gas station prices. Sinclair oil has a refinery 6 miles east of here and we get zero gas in this town from it.

    Please Update Your Password

    It’s not just this site. I Mod an OK hunting forum and we’ve had a spike in spammers from India, Pakistan, Philippians and Russia (yes those damn Russians are at it again). We had to revamp the software for member sign up and block a slew of IPs. The last 48 hours have been crazy. I think I’ve...

    Have Any of You Observed a Wildlife Law Violation ? What Did you Do ?

    This past fall we got on a group of about 300 elk. My son was the only with a tag as it was during the youth portion of the season. We tried for several days to get them while they were on public land. Opening morning of the regular general season the land owners and several others on ATV/ UTVs...

    Bears with a wheel gun

    That explains why I makes no sense. I’m always late to the party it seems.

    Bears with a wheel gun

    It’s all depends on site location. I have a 1.5 mile hike from parking area to bait site. I use pull carts and backpacks to haul all my stuff in and out. I use popcorn and have a recipe of stuff I use on it to spice it up. I save bread heels and other unused pastries throughout the year in the...

    Bears with a wheel gun

    And who might you be referring to? We all have things we’re proud of but I see no one here boasting about anything in particular. Just Q&A is all.

    Bears with a wheel gun

    Have a massive snow storm set to hit us this weekend so my spring bear may be delayed depending on melt off. Ill look around and see what .44 I can find, if that’s even possible these days, especially in this small town. With my bait setups only being 20-22y I’m not worried about distance but...

    Bears with a wheel gun

    I got this .44 as a back up for hogs. I just needed to stop getting that close to warrant it’s use over my 7mm Mag. Fingers crossed I get my first bear with it this year.

    Have Any of You Observed a Wildlife Law Violation ? What Did you Do ?

    About 20 years or so ago I self reported on a black tail doe in Cali. Missed the buck and hit the doe. Drug it a mile out and then drove another 20+ miles to a pay phone. Waited over an hour for a warden to arrive. They took the doe, my deer tag and gave me a ticket. Had I not been active duty...

    Bears with a wheel gun

    I almost picked me up a box of the Underwood extreme hunters. The reviews look good for them. I wonder if anyone else has had an expansion issue with them. I will certainly be mindful of that. Thank you for that info as well.
