I apologize if there was a thread on this that I missed, but I thought folks would like to know that SF0002 Hunting Licenses - Weighted Bonus Point System failed in the House Travel, Recreation, Wildlife, and Cultural Resources Committee yesterday after having passed the Senate earlier in the...

Of course I'll never have enough points to draw this area,
but still cool to see. My 9-yr old spotted them first (he insists on being credited for his spot).
I just mounted a Nightforce SHV 3-10x42 on a Weatherby Mark V Accumark Pro in a 6.5 Creedmoor using a Leupold Backcountry two-piece scope mount (rings and bases are combined). While trying to zero it at 100 yards, I run out of adjustment. Dropping the impact to its lowest point (turret won't...
The number of first choice applicants for a Wyoming 38-2 tag jumped from 74 in 2021 (2nd choice was 114, 3rd was 30) to 233 in 2022 (2nd choice was 255, 3rd was 101). That's a bump of more than 300% for an area with very little public land and a dwindling antelope population (as evidenced by the...

My personal experience over the past two and a half decades of hunting antelope in WY as a resident is that draw odds are getting worse. The draw odds show that this is not only my perception, but it is a reality. After reading the threads on Population Growth and Hunting as well as the derailed...
I have a Savage Model 1895 in a 303 savage that originally was purchased by my great, great grandfather. Somewhere in the past 125 years, the stock and forend have been replaced with some junky wood that doesn't match (the butt is walnut and the forend is oak). Does anyone know how I could find...
Last night my wife and I were sitting on the porch watching a doe mulie with twin fawns. The deer bolted suddenly, so we looked around to see why. A few hundred yards off the porch was a sow black bear with twin cubs up a tree. The cubs climbed down and my wife took this video through the...
I'm a Wyoming native living in Laramie and working at the University of Wyoming. I typically hunt antelope, deer, and elk in southeast and southcentral WY. I've traveled to Alaska once on a caribou hunt (didn't kill a caribou, but I did kill a wolf and chase off a grizzly). I'm planning to start...
