    First-hand experiences of women hunters

    Really enjoying everyone's thoughts here on an interesting subject. After decades wandering around in the mountains alone, this is the first year I did it with a rifle and an elk tag. I think everyone I ran into was kind and helpful because we were all having so much fun!!! It is a such a...

    High Desert Elk Hunting

    Mustang, Thank you for this luminous piece of writing about your undeniable and perfect connection to the herd, the land, the past. I hope we run into each other sometime out in the elky desert.

    Women in the outdoors

    HW: Totally agree on all points, especially "taking a woman hunting vs. showing her how." It's one thing to watch someone do something, but another, more effective and memorable way is to do it yourself with helpful suggestions along the way. Foggy, THANK YOU for helping women to feel more...

    Solo cow elk hunt

    Nice job Kelly! I've been going out solo on my first cow elk hunt, and you just had the very hunt I hope to have soon. What a blast! Thanks for the inspiration! Good write up too.

    Wyoming elk newbie without motivation question

    John, I'm no expert, but scouting with an eye to the ground shows me where they were just before I got there. They like the quakies and the deep, dark pines; the hidden springs and smelly wallows. Sometimes they choose the easy path and sometimes the thick doghair. Sit and watch and listen...

    Anyone have any suggestions on a decent hiking distance app for Android?

    I've been using Gaia GPS since it was free, but now there's a fee. You can record a route and add waypoints that you want to remember. If you download an area map before going out you can use it offline which is essential where I live. It doesn't record elevation and sometimes fails to show...

    How much do you value your residency

    Yes, you are in good company; I love Wyoming for the wide, wild expanses of public lands that are just outside the front door. When I travel to places where public land is scarce, I value the freedom to cavort on public lands whenever I want even more. You only get a certain number of hours in...

    First-hand experiences of women hunters

    Hi again ElkNut: In a wild stroke of luck I found a Weatherby Camilla 7mm-08 that I thought wasn't available anywhere, including from the Weatherby factory here in Wyoming. Called them and found there were 800+ folks on the waiting list. So I hope I make someone here happy when I shoot it (if I...

    First-hand experiences of women hunters

    Fun was had! This is sage-grouse central: big, big sagebrush/grassland valley; many leks and abundant winter range. I had a beautiful Brittany who helped out and it was a simple thing to find them. They're beautiful birds but I think I'll let them be and enjoy them when they fly like B-52s...

    First-hand experiences of women hunters

    Uh oh, I believe I've wandered into uncharted (for me) waters. Let me get back to you on that 7mm-08 vs. 6.5 Creedmoor. I've been sage-grouse hunting with shotgun and I love to fish. I also join my falconer partner on occasion. I have wandered into many an elk herd but so far have not shot...

    First-hand experiences of women hunters

    Thank you Europe for your kind words and welcome! I'm a firm believer in the goodness of most people and will not limit myself to female mentors. I didn't intend to insult all the fine people here. You're right, finding a female hunter with time and patience to teach the many skills that make a...

    First-hand experiences of women hunters

    Yes, I agree that experience is the best teacher; my comfort in the mountains and deserts comes from living there. But hunting is new for me, so I came here for advice and had no idea that it would cause such a ruckus. Boy howdy. I hope I didn't insult anyone, didn't mean to. I appreciate...

    First-hand experiences of women hunters

    Thank you Hunting Wife for all this great advice! I did check out the BOW program, but its structure and cost were prohibitive. If someone would let me tag along on a hunt, I'd be grateful to learn, so I will look further and ask more about mentors at the WGFD and other places. I'm not...

    First-hand experiences of women hunters

    Hi: You really have a great perspective! I feel very much like you do, and am also a woman; it's not a big deal for me to be alone hiking, camping or fishing, in fact that's how I like it & I've been doing it for 40+ years. Now that I'm older I want to learn big game hunting and have no one to...
