    Making conversation before draw results --- opening week or last week?

    Each year that I have hunted pronghorn in WY, I have hunted the last week of the season. Just curious as to what everyone's opinion is regarding the "best" plan for hunting pronghorn on public in WY. I'd love to hear your ideas and your reasons behind the plan you prefer. I am leaning toward...

    Snake gaiters

    I am in NO way affiliated or compensated by this Duluth trading, but I have these pants and I have ABUSED them in cacti, honey locust, briars, thorns, cat-claw etc. I have even crawled on my knees through prickly pear and not a SINGLE poke!! And they are comfy! No way in hell a snake is biting...

    Snake gaiters

    Yep... I agree, I shouldn't have generalized :) Didn't think about walking past one perched up on a rock. I like that picture of the one on the rock!

    Snake gaiters

    Movies and irrational fear have WAY over-blown a snakes desire/ability to envenomate humans. Pretty much any quality boot will prevent envenomation from even a large prairie rattler. Prairie rattlers are pretty small, and unless you are on all fours, you're not gonna get tagged any higher than...

    Leupold scopes quality

    My ONLY "nice" scope is a Leupold 3.5 - 10 x 40 VX3i and I use the CDS. I haven't used it a LOT, but all of the animals that I have shot have been between 150, and 285 yards, and every time I pulled the trigger, the bullet went exactly where I aimed.

    Boiling alternatives for euro mount

    If you can suspend it in a pond or lake etc, water dwelling critters will make easy/short work of cleaning it for you!

    Best Pronghorn pack?

    Are you one of the wealthy hunters that can just drop a "LARGE SUM OF MONEY" on a pack? There's absolutely NOTHING wrong with that if you have that kind of cash laying around, but if you're like some of us that have to be more thrifty.... I LOVE my military surplus Molle II pack!! I got mine...

    Requesting Access to Private

    So what I am hearing, .. if I ever make it to Oregon, I can come hunt on your place if I whack all the coyotes I can find, and opt for specific deer and elk? Heck, I'll be free labor for a WEEK for that deal!! :) I'll even cook you dinner!

    Just a positive comment about an old WY land owner and NR permission....

    The owner himself called me back last night and we BS'd for almost an hour! Great guy and long time family rancher. Also found out that he owns hundreds upon hundreds of acres of land in an adjoining unit, and his sister owns a massive amount of land in the unit I plan on hunting! He invited...

    Just a positive comment about an old WY land owner and NR permission....

    With so much negative in the news and on social media I wanted to post a quick positive comment. I am hoping to take my wife out west for a fun antelope hunt this October. I have been researching an area for MANY months, and found a honey hole! In fact on google earth you can actually see...

    I replaced my T3X pad with a limb-saver before I ever even shot it.

    Tikka T3 lite vs weatherby vanguard in .243 (Ford vs Chevy)

    I love my Tikka in .270 with a Leupold scope! I got a great deal on the rifle and the glass. Now it's time to buy a rifle that will be shared between my wife and daughters, for game no larger than Kansas whitetail. As far as caliber I am strongly leaning toward a .243, and I have a good...

    Pronghorn First Timer Research

    I think you could likely get a "better" unit with your single point. Are you committed to unit 20? Willing to pay for the "special"?
