A life long dream comes true and story about hounds racoon and lions
Talking with the bio and warden when I checked him in they said female's will have such bad tooth wear they can't really age them so 10+yrs old. They said most Tom's are 5-9yo closer to the 5 age.- WIbiggame

A life long dream comes true and story about hounds racoon and lions
Walking up on the lion the outfitter was patting me on my back and giving me a hug. I told him I needed to stop and have a minute, he was very nice and stepped behind me and gave me about 2 minutes to just bask in what had happened. I have completed a lifelong dream hunt. I had just been...- WIbiggame

A life long dream comes true and story about hounds racoon and lions
I felt 16 again, and closed my eyes and could hear Stryker barking going up that mountain. A tear came to my eyes as I just stood there 2000miles from my farm but it felt like I was home listening to my own dog. This trip was already worth it and everything I thought it would be and so much...- WIbiggame

A life long dream comes true and story about hounds racoon and lions
Day 2 Day 2 started with me meeting the outfitter at the gas station at 0500. Through our talking on day 1 he realized how much the dogs and being around them meant to me. It was truly amazing being around hounds again and was much needed after 15yrs of staying away. So by me telling him about...- WIbiggame

A life long dream comes true and story about hounds racoon and lions
This story starts about 28 years ago I read a book in school called “Where the Red Fern Grows” that book changed me as a person in so many ways but will stick to this story for now. After reading that book cover to cover I asked my dad about getting some redbones to chase racoon with on our...- WIbiggame

Puffies
I have a merino liner as well. I don't use it much tho probably should. You are 100% correct about sleeping in clothes being a gamechanger. So nice just waking up tying my boots and ready to go. No more dredding get out of the warm bag to get dressed. John Barklow is where I first heard about...- WIbiggame

Another thing to remember is if you are taking puffy pants and jacket anyway might be able to go with a higher temp rating sleeping bag/quilt. Save some weight there, I sleep in all.my clothes and on colder night will put the puffy's on.- WIbiggame

How many miles?
This should've been the OPs question a 2 part. How many miles hiked hunting and how many miles in the dark. If I do a 10 mile day 70%+ is in the dark. -

goHunt updating draw odds!
You are probably right. Do you think this could be even remotely accurate tho? I mean WY elk is probably getting bombarded with views searches etc etc. Because it's their app season. MT 2 years ago probably was really high when the whole outfitter tag change came up. Wouldn't it over estimate...- WIbiggame

goHunt updating draw odds!
@SAJ-99 I agree probably right around the corner but I don't see away it could ever really work or be remotely accurate. Sure you can look at trends over time and assuming something will increase or decrease accordingly. However, once someone puts this prediction out people become people and...- WIbiggame
