    December Lope

    I’m sure you already know, and I alluded to it in my last post, but be extra careful to make sure there’s no black cheek patch before you shoot if it’s a doe tag. Best of luck, I hope you have a good first pronghorn hunt.

    Help with meat going bad in freezer.

    I’ve got a crappy old freezer that definitely has a bad lid seal if it isn’t put on right due to the lid being damaged. I double wrap with plastic wrap and then double wrap with aluminum foil and I don’t have freezer burn even after 3 years. Something to consider.

    December Lope

    Always fun hunting the big herds in the late season. So many eyes to fool, and you gotta be extra careful when a lot of the bucks have shed.

    Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement

    I’m a big proponent of mandatory harvest reporting. In my experience WGFD personnel get rather testy when you bring it up. You’ll then get the ol “we’re very confident in our harvest reporting, no need for a larger sample size…” If Montana goes that route, as many other states do, you’ll have...

    I’ve heard that meat packing plant got shot down btw, thank god.

    Cheyenne or Laramie for a trip layover??

    I’ll second that. I love Saratoga, that’s why I bought land up there.

    Cheyenne or Laramie for a trip layover??

    Having lived in both, you’re not wrong. Casper has way better hunting and fishing nearby and a lot more public land, but there’s way more sketchy people doing sketchy things in Casper than Cheyenne. I’d certainly recommend TJos over the Bunkhouse though. TJos has way better Prime Rib if you...

    Football General Talk

    Can’t say I’m too surprised to see the Chiefs at the top of the list. Mahomes wife and mom probably account for a good chunk of that.

    Cheyenne or Laramie for a trip layover??

    Stay in Laramie. Eat at Altitudes in Laramie, or TJos in Cheyenne (Marinated Ribeye or Blackened Prime Rib…you won’t regret it)

    Virginia to Wyoming

    Reminds me of the lady that runs the gas station in Ten Sleep. A lot of the locals would drive to Worland rather than give her money. It always amazes me when businesses here are very reliant on non locals and then treat said non locals like absolute garbage.

    Forget caliber and bullet, let’s talk shot placement

    Had to explain what a Texas heart shot was to my boss the other day while I was recapping a WT buck I killed a few weeks back. No, I didn’t take said shot, obviously. I waited for the doe to lead him back towards me where he turned broadside. He had never heard the term, and having come from...

    Annoying Yard Bucks Anyone?

    Had to run in to get the camera and they had crossed the fence by the time I got it. But they were 50 yds broadside on my place before I moved. In season. I didn’t put in for that deer tag this year, and I wouldn’t have shot them even if I had the tag, but it was still cool to have a bunch of...

    Examples of elk absorbing shots and not acting hit?

    I’ve only killed 3 elk, so small sample size…. The first was much like the scenario JLS described. I double lunged her with 180 gr out of the 06 (pass through) and then chaos ensued. She only went about 50 yards but I never saw her drop per se. She became part of the mass of elk while I was...

    cooking elk steak - help needed

    For steaks I like to use a liberal amount of coarse salt, pepper and garlic. Quick hot sear and then low and slow on a charcoal grill. If you want something a little more flavorful, check out a seasoning called Chupacabre by 2 gringos. I literally buy that stuff by the gallon. It’s marketed as...

    Intermuscular fat?

    Never had much luck with crock pots and game meat either. I’ve had much better luck braising in cast iron for whatever reason.

    No Optics on ML in NM 2023

    Yep. A modern bullet with modern smokeless powders that’s stuffed down the muzzle is still going to be a problem regardless of optics.

    Stolen Opportunities....a very sad elk tale. We must do better!

    I’ve always thought limiting folks to nothing more than a good ol 3x9 scope would cut out a lot of the wannabe long range shooters and reduce wounding loss. Take away all that gadgetry that makes people think they can shoot further than they can, and make people actually hunt a bit more fair...
