    Help understanding WY draws odds (<)

    is that for ANTELOPE GMU-44? (-06) :geek: those odds have been dropping every year. they've been cutting Tags there every year since 2016. you can also call WY G&F and ask about specific unit and if they're going to increase/drop quota again? otherwise those odds may drop even more. OP...

    Excel list for Wyoming harvest data

    i just tried to export it into Excel to see what it would look like and unlike Draw odds which are easy to Filter on after putting into Excel, i find that WY Harvest odds have too many headers/fields to try and clean up for Excel use. Excel version of Harvest odds just does Not seem very...

    How cold is too cold?

    some thought on your set up: 1. sleeping bags loose loft over the years. Down faster than Synthetic. Especially if when stored off-season you have them in their StuffSack. so that 30F bag from 5-10 years ago may now be closer to 40F, and that 0F is more like 10-15F. materials break...

    Idaho tags capped now!

    Landowner tag would require me to have access to a private property which i dont. so how is that going to help me? and having funds to pay double of what i'm currently paying for resident tags does not equate to having funds to find better *(private) opportunity if thats what you were...

    InReach or Zoleo?

    They do have Emergency GPS units (PLB Personal Locator Beacons) for just that, an emergency and nothing else. U pay one time and its own built in battery is good for some 10years or something like that. ARC Electronics seems to be most popular

    '21 Elk in Wy

    i'm in CO, but weather wise its similar. except WY gets 3x as much wind. Yes- plan for cold temps. you can check the weather up to day off, and unless it really shows clear skies with steady 50-60F temps for next 10 days, you can then adjust, but typically in the mountains weather can change...

    Idaho tags capped now!

    as a new hunter of 2 seasons only so far, my only experience has been huge crowds here in CO, but i'm dealing with it and still being successful with that being said: i'd go as far as saying i'll be glad to pay DOUBLE of what my current resident tags cost if that meant 1/2 the crowds. *i...

    Hornady SST vs ELD-X

    i tried both at the range. SST kicked a bit more and didnt produce as tight of groups as ELD-X did. i settled on ELD-X as it provided best groups,. and so far i've been extremely happy with performance. i'm using 270 WIN i've now shot Elk, Deer and Antelope with it. Antelopes were at...

    'Waterproofing' Sheep Boots

    what he said. even if it's not raining, but you're hiking alot your feet will sweat especially in insulated boot. so if not from outside, they will get wet from inside.

    SPEC.-OPS. brand backpack?

    22L is great for a daypack to carry hydration bladder, 1st aid kit, rain gear, ETC even the UltraLightweight guys would not do 2 nights with a 22L pack. it's just not big enough. you're also in OCT hunt, so it will be cooler temps, and if you're bringing a 0F sleeping bag, it takes up alot of...
