There's no such thing as "cheaper" up there! Hahahaha
T-bone, there were other hunters around although I don't know if I can put a number on it. Seemed like every time we found some caribou somewhat close to the road another vehicle of hunters would be coming up the road, stop their rigs, and...
Hello, just wondering if there's anybody who hunts that Eastern flank of Yellowstone for elk. I have some ideas I want to run by some locals. Not asking for spots just want some verification of this plan I have. Feel free to PM me or give me the invite to PM you :)
Thanks,
Trent
Last fall I fulfilled a bucket list dream by going to Alaska. Went on a caribou hunt on the haul road with a guy who has done it 3 or 4 times now. In 2013 he killed a MONSTER bull. 400+". Right place at the right time. Also went with an older guy from Arizona.
So needless to say I had visions...
The only thing I would suggest is finding access to a freezer. I did a DIY caribou trip last August. That's all a story for another time but we ended up scoring big time with a guy who just bought a new chest freezer and didn't have anything in it yet. They don't want any kind of ice/dry ice on...
It's already weapon specific...unless I'm going crazy.
.....and I've looked at the Colorado draw odds / maps for so many hours of my life I might just be crazy.
Living in southwest Wyoming I tend to think I can judge 'em pretty good but a couple of those bucks were definitely deceiving with a few of those pics. I'd imagine if you watch 'em for a minute though and get that angle you're looking for you throw your binoculars on the dash and scramble out of...
Thanks guys. I mentioned one time that I loved big 3's....now I can't get away from 'em! My last 3 bucks have been 3x3's. First one a big, old 3 point....second one a small 3 point on the last day....and then this one as the third. I don't even know what it feels like to kill a 4 point anymore :)
Thanks for the kind words guys. Definitely not the best scoring deer but an old, horse headed, warrior for sure. The second biggest framed buck in that bachelor herd was a big 2 point. Probably 24" wide. I would've shot him if the big 3 wasn't there.
He's only 26 1/2" wide. He just flares...
Just sharing my 2014 Western Wyoming Mule Deer. Been away from this forum for quite some time and I really don't know why!
After a few weekends of exploring new areas that I thought felt promising I went back to the spot I grew up hunting and ran into a bachelor herd of 15+ bucks. This was...
This!
I love the second week of september. The bulls (in my area at least) seem to get fired up at some point during this second week. Lots of times it's raghorns with the cows but the herd bulls are making sure those raghorns know they are there. I have had great success calling in elk with...
I live in Green River, WY (just 15 miles to the west of Rock Springs). If I see it around I will certainly let you know where it is although I haven't seen it at all. I was born in 1991 and lived in Green River all my life, but I must've been too late to see the "outlaw elk" but I will keep my...
