    Dear AZ, I love giving you money, but...

    could you please make it easier? Applications and hunting licenses for three boys and myself mean entering the same credit card number twelve times every February. Another eight times for the deer/sheep application later this year. My poor carpal tunnel wrists and hands just can't take it...

    2025 Wyoming regulations

    When do we get to see the first stab at permit numbers? Did anything along those lines come out of the Commission Meeting last week?

    OnX Hunt Research Tools

    Who’s tried this out yet? Why can’t I find Wyoming special or random draw odds?

    Sometimes it just works out

    I have three boys at home, and my philosophy when introducing them to hunting has been to make trips as fun as possible. And by “fun” I mean hunting in areas where game sightings are plentiful. I guess I’ve sort of assumed that they would most likely develop a love for it if I first showed them...

    This seems timely…

    Last year, as a 10-year-old, my son Luke took his first deer, a young whitetail buck, during Montana’s youth deer season. This year, now that he was a “seasoned” hunter at 11 years old, his personal goal was a good mule deer. I was happy to try to help him make it happen. We left the river...

    Arbitrary Hunting Goals

    I tend to be strangely goal-oriented about things that don’t need goals attached. Hunting hasn’t escaped my neurotic tendency. For a while, I’ve had this desire to take an elk, a deer, and an antelope in each of the eight Interior Mountain West states (MT, WY, CO, NM, AZ, UT, ID, NV). I’m not...

    Hey, draw odds dorks…

    I’m one of you, and I’m curious if anyone has out there has taken this next level and subscribed to both toprut and gohunt. How do the draw odds calculations compare? I’m only on toprut, and I swear there are some crazy weird numbers out there that I have a tough time believing, particularly...

    Wyoming elk with the older two

    In October, I made a memorable trip to Montana for my youngest’s first deer. Next on the 2023 priority list was getting my older two to NE Wyoming in late November. I promised their mom that we’d all be home by noon on Thanksgiving Day. I think she doubted we’d make it in time. Caleb (16) and...

    An event of extreme importance

    It’s tough being the youngest of three boys. My ten-year-old, Luke, always has to follow his brothers into everything. And he’s keenly aware of how they “do it better.” Never mind that when they were his age and everything was new there were no big brother comparisons. You know the drill if...

    I don’t really like to cook…

    and I’m not very good at it. And I like to hunt way more than I like to cook. But sometimes things work out. Deer backstrap wrapped in bacon and marinated in a fajita seasoning… then cooked until medium rare, sliced and placed on a fresh tortilla with grilled peppers & onions. Topped with...

    Not another Euro mount thread

    In adulthood I’ve faithfully ascribed to the notion that one should outsource all non-core competencies. When a guy is short on core competencies, though, this philosophy gets a tad expensive. So… after overpaying for a Euro on my way out Wyoming this past November, I vowed to expand my limited...

    Getting the boys out

    I managed to carve out time from my growing boys’ busy schedules and head back to Wyoming & Montana for some elk hunting. Yeah, they missed some school. I’m not apologizing. 😁 We hunted some new areas and some familiar ones and had a great time with 3 generations of Youngs in the field. It’s...

    2022 CO Secondary Draw

    So who’s in for @wllm ’s favorite drawing? Not much time left to get your name in the hat. Some pretty good tags out there to not draw!

    North Yellowstone Flooding

    Some crazy pictures coming out of the Gardiner/Mammoth area. Big time flooding on the Yellowstone and tributaries. The Carbella Bridge washed out. Gardiner-Mammoth Road is closed (see photo).

    2022 MT B Tag Question

    Does anyone else notice that their Elk B bonus points in MT have increased by one even though the draw results still show “pending”???? Is that a backdoor suggestion that we didn’t draw? Or is this some more funny business out of MT this year? I’ve never noticed this before in my previous MT B...

    Paging MT Antelope Gurus

    So here's my situation: My cousin back East is a single mom who, despite some odds stacked against her, has raised three great kids. Her oldest is a sophomore in HS, and I plan to take him antelope hunting in Montana in 2022. The original plan was Wyoming, where I had built up a couple of points...
