    Buzz: how did the Type 2 tag offered in the Wagonhound area work out last season? Was there a lot of demand from residents?

    TSA and things that shouldn't be in your carry on

    Daughter won a folding hunting knife at a Ducks Unlimited event. The next morning she is rushing to the airport as her sister is expecting baby in Florida. TSA asks to rescan her purse and returned it "everything is fine". She gets on the plane and realizes the knife is still in her purse. Since...

    Bow Sling or No?

    A friend loaned me a Montana Bow sling when I was hunting a farm and using my bike to get across the property to my stand. It worked well for that.

    Wyo Task Force - Nonres Comments!

    There you have it. All of this hand wringing, the sky is falling is about antlers. I'll admit I was concerned when I first heard about the possible changes but after studying things, I'm not too concerned about my continued Wyoming hunts. I prefer to hunt every year with a cow tag and eat elk...

    Wyo Task Force - Nonres Comments!

    Good points above regarding young people entering the preference point scene. Knowledgeable young hunters could be more discerning about preference points and their potential lack of value depending on where and when and what they want to hunt. I steer new young hunters interested in elk to...

    Wyo Task Force - Nonres Comments!

    So a random draw, no preference points for residents or non-residents? There are so few tags I could see this being resident only but the outfitters won't want that. The lawyers aren't going away. I'll be surprised to see this hunt ever take place but I hope I'm wrong.

    Wyo Task Force - Nonres Comments!

    Buzz: was there any decision on eliminating Big 5 non-res tags where the total quota in a hunt area was less than 10? That could help my Wyoming buddy at least a little.

    Wyo Task Force - Nonres Comments!

    Is Wyoming selling preference points for grizzly bear? Surely not. It's been 46 years since a grizzly bear has been legally hunted in the lower 48.

    Wyo Task Force - Nonres Comments!

    Surely you're joking. I would bet most non-res deer, elk, antelope hunters don't even know the res/non-res split when they apply but I hope you are right. (the non-res Big 5 guys probably know the split)

    Wyo Task Force - Nonres Comments!

    A. WGF is not going to propose a plan to lose money (90-10 will not lose money) B. If the unintended consequence of 90-10 was an unexpected loss of revenue, then that's Wyoming's problem. They will figure it out. (see A. above)

    Wyo Task Force - Nonres Comments!

    You're assuming NR comments go somewhere besides the Task Force dumpster. It's a Wyoming issue and will be decided by Wyoming residents who live next door to and hunt with other Wyoming residents.

    None. The reduction in non-resident full price LE tags will be offset by an increase in non-resident full price General tags.

    Taking a cow elk on an either sex tag

    This has always been my philosophy but I've rarely had an either sex tag, much less a tag I will probably never draw again in my lifetime. As a non-res who hunts Wyo where the tags will soon get even more scarce I may stick with hunting a bull for at least the archery season. I can always go...

    Taking a cow elk on an either sex tag

    This topic hits home with me this year. I'm an annual cow hunter but drew a 1.8% odds Any Elk tag this year for the Area I've been hunting for years. Like everyone else with cow tags, I've had some spectacular up-close encounters with big bulls. I'm planning on passing on cows during archery but...

    How do I field Score a Trophy Cow Elk?

    If I was a resident hunter with more days to hunt I would probably be more selective too. Maybe not. For now I'm looking for a healthy looking cow in bow range with poor eye sight and nasal congestion.

    How do I field Score a Trophy Cow Elk?

    I get it but the meat is my ultimate goal after having a good time pursuing the elk on the mountain especially if I have only a few weeks to hunt. I leave the herd management to the G&F. If they issue a tag, I plan to notch it.

    How do I field Score a Trophy Cow Elk?

    We have debunked this theory. While dry cows do have more visible fat, the choice backstrap and tenderloin cuts are equally delicious in both wet and dry cows. It only takes a mile or so to get past the guilt of a calf following you on the pack out.
