I am trying to burn max elk points in WY. It should happen, but time will tell and I am not packing just yet. Otherwise, I am swinging for the fences in AZ, NM, UT, WY, ND, and Maine (moose). Bonus points and preference points in remaining states. CO draw, OTC and LO list tags, as well as OK...
Working on cashing in WY points for myself and my family ASAP. When points are gone, we will be out of the WY game and leave it to others to chase tags. I am not upset with WY at all. We have a had a good run with NR, DIY hunting, but the prices are getting a little crazy. Hunting continues...
Dang! What a great year and stunning pictures. I sure miss the ND walleye fishing. Thank you for sharing and I hope the tag gods smile on you this spring.

Since you asked for my thoughts Kurt, those individuals are nothing more then disgusting lazy asses.
When I get older (then the advanced age I already am) and don’t have the physical ability to hunt the right way, I will give it up. I don’t need an elk or any other animal that bad.
Great looking buck your son got Tyson. It looks like fun and congratulations to both of you.
How do you find time to hunt between selling lots of cool rifles?
