    Utah bull

    It took five long days, a lot of miles on the boots, a little timely luck and a lot of help from my friends, but we finally got it done on the Wasatch late rifle hunt. Two shots at 380 yards from my 6.5 PRC did in this big boy. 344" with 21" thirds.

    WY 2021 deer/antelope results

    We had a great time. Like a lot of Wyoming, it is checkerboard, but not tough to get around. We did a VRBO in Saratoga, which is turning into a little bit of an artist community. Shot four bucks in two days, the biggest was 71", and hit the hot springs at night. Lots of friendly people, and...

    2021 Pronghorn Story

    Congrats on a gorgeous buck and, yes, they can get crazy stupid during the rut. Not sure what unit you hunted but I drew the Utah West Desert Riverbed tag a few years ago and they were going nuts while we were out there. One day as we drove along the road that borders the Dugway Proving...

    Input Needed to Make the Show Yellowstone More Authentic

    Crazy, great first show. Just OK since then. That idiot Jimmy and the two barrel racers need to just go away.

    WY 2021 deer/antelope results

    My bad - should have read your post more carefully. Haha. We'll try to get a little more detailed when the hunt gets a little closer.

    WY 2021 deer/antelope results

    50 is south of I-80 down to a little past Saratoga around Elk mountain. Not a trophy unit but we'll have a good time.

    WY 2021 deer/antelope results

    Headed for unit 50, along the North Platte for goats. We'll probably wait until about 15 October - two college kids with a long weekend break from school.

    WY 2021 deer/antelope results

    Buck antelope for three of my kids and me in unit 50. Not a trophy unit but we'll have lots of fun, catch a few fish and soak in the hot springs.

    What questions should I ask the biologist

    I've had a wide range of experiences (good and bad) with biologists and wardens, but generally if you do some research before hand and ask specific questions you'll get more useful info. I'm in the Real Estate industry and always laugh when someone asks me, "how much are houses selling for?"

    Projected WY point creep.

    It started over twenty years ago with my brother in law and me near Kemmerer. On a lark, we decided to grab a couple of leftover Antelope tags. Since then we've hauled along six kids (my four and two of his), several friends and hunted six different units. We've taken about thirty bucks and...

    Sunday Pic of the Day

    Great photos. I should be hunting with the kids not too far from you in unit 50 this fall. Hopefully will run into one or two like that bedded buck.

    Nato pintail shotgun

    My mother was recently cleaning out a closet in her home (dad passed away in 2014) and came across a High Standard Mfg. Camden Conn, NATO Pintail shotgun, serial number 3054159 (20 gauge - 2 3/4" - 3"). None of my siblings hunt or shoot much so I ended up with it. I looked around on line a...

    Murder for ducks

    Might want to leave it - sounds like a pretty good fit.:cool:

    2021 Colorado Draw Results

    Yeah, I figure Murphy's law will be in effect - buy a tag and I'll see zero bulls - not buy it and a big one will step out. We're focused on deer and plan on hitting it hard, dark to dark for four or five days. Looking forward to getting to know some new country.

    2021 Colorado Draw Results

    Thanks very much for the info. I talked with Fish & Game and they said they're pushing hard for it to be open by fall and the (very helpful) person I talked with said that they have a pretty good relationship with the Forest Service, who will ultimately make the decision. Said it was mostly...

    2021 Colorado Draw Results

    Unit 18 third rifle for deer, point for elk and still waiting on antelope (long shot). You who have hunted 18 before - is it over the counter for elk and if so, would you pick up the tag or is it not worth it? We'll probably not really need the meat - I'll be hunting horns.

    2021 Colorado Draw Results

    Looks like I'm headed to unit 18 for third rifle with two of my buddies. We're familiar with the area but haven't hunted there in the middle of November before so I'd be happy for any wisdom any of you would care to bestow upon us.

    What are you currently reading?

    Just finished 'Grant' by Ron Chernow. Book in one hand, dictionary in the other. Great read but extremely looong and detailed. Just started 'Walk in My Combat Boots.' Series of fairly short personal stories of combat.

    Nevada Waterfowl 2020 - 2021

    I was mostly big game with a few upland birds thrown in until about fifteen years ago when one of my buddies made the mistake of taking me for ducks & geese. He'd been to a couple of good public spots and knew a few ranchers who let us jump shoot their irrigation ditches & ponds. I've upgraded...
