Thank you for the support when I joined. My family took sucker punch that has more than likely delayed our planned elk hunt. Love the site, it’s awesome will try to post more in the whitetail forum and share my experiences and knowledge. Cancer is a b*^%*. -

Wyoming Elk Trip
I’m not worried about a doe in Michigan. I’ll have all season for that. It would just be cool to take a Michigan whitetail and Wyoming elk in the same week. First choice was a type 1 which we will never get, second choice was a type 4. -

Frustrated
In some states it is illegal to take a deer you did not make the kill shot on. While this leads to a stalemate it makes for an uncomfortable encounter with the hunter and neighboring land owner and the DNR will get involved. The fine for taking a deer that you did not make a kill shot on is... -

Wyoming Elk Trip
While I do not plan to disclose the unit. I strongly suggest pulling the reports on elk from the WFGD site. Very good data in the repor, I was able to narrow my units down to a couple. From there I reviewed the physical capabilities of my daughter and me and narrowed down the units based on... -

Wyoming Elk Trip
I will take a look at the metcalf packs. Put in the draw for a type 4, thought it would provide the best chance of success for both the drawing and the hunt itself. Even though a week in the bighorns hunting with my daughter will be success enough in itself. Bonus, if it goes as planned we... -

Wyoming Elk Trip
The pack and the boots are my next big purchases for the trip. We have boots but they are suited for low land / swamp treestand hunting. What is recommended to look for in a pack? -

Wyoming Elk Trip
Those are good questions that I have added to the list. We are discussing bring gear for fishing, we do not have any fly gear though. We would use a float with spin reel and fly on the end. -

Wyoming Elk Trip
Currently planning a 2022 father/daughter archery Elk hunt in the Bighorns. This is a first western hunt and first elk hunt, going DIY. I have reached out to the biologist in the unit and discussed with him some aspects and am making a list of further questions. What should I know for the... -

Do you Hunt from a ground blind?
It’s really a thought as I have just started to get back into ground hunting and crossbow. I took a fall from a ladder while doing some home repairs and made my dominant elbow bend backwards and broke the elbow cup. Since then my arm will give at random under pressure. Meaning anything but a... -

Do you Hunt from a ground blind?
Considering getting a ghillie suit to ground hunt without a blind. Especially considering it for Wyoming antelope/elk archery. But it would see heavy use in Michigan. -

Deer - lets see em
My 2019 Northern Mi buck and largest to date. This is after being prepped for my taxidermist. Unable to find a pic of me with the deer at this time. Lost a lot of pictures when my dog used my phone as a chew toy. My 2021 crossbow buck, went all of 10yards and piled up in the thickets. He... -

Colorado vs Wyoming
Can’t say anything bad about the opportunities in either state. What sold me on Wyoming was the WFGD website and the amount of information provided, it even moves easily over to OnX. I call the numbers provided on the WFGD website and a person answers and gives me a cell# for the biologist of... -

Is there a (deer) doctor in the house?
I have seen puss pockets in the joints of the front and rear quarters. The deer had a smell when I walked up to them. It was associated with being hit by a car and managing to live, that being said the infection would have likely killed them over time or left them crippled enough for coyotes... -

It's time to admit it's over
That’s a lie. It’s never over. There is deer season and deer prep season. With slight intermissions for turkey. -

Deer rifles for young hunters
Picked up a savage .242 for my daughter awesome gun and she loves it. Has put two deer under her belt already with that gun. Now that we’re looking to expand our big game options I’m wishing I would have gone with a 7-08. -

Do you Hunt from a ground blind?
I hunted from the ground when I was a kid, hunted trees from late teens until this year when I had a couple spots I wanted to try out that were ground only. No tree available outside of saplings. The one thing I forgot but quickly remembered with ground hunting is how fast it gets dark from... -
