Sheep Show in Reno
RMBS is a model affiliated-WSF org, and I understand Wyoming WSF and Nevada's are the same. Both WY and NV will never push out a 208" Rocky or a 190" Desert, but the massive work they do to maintain existing and establish/enhance new herds with the very important large herd sizes each state has...- MaybelNellie

Sheep Show in Reno
Tough deal right there. And agree totally at Hunt Expo. The way I justify Reno money-wise is the free draws (except for sneaking in good odds raffles like the Stone hunt when my wife isn't looking). This year there where 6 "free" draws with great odds - Tough Sheep workout (cost $100), IMF4...- MaybelNellie

Sheep Show in Reno
Just go. Every year I try to reason with the expense and what does Randy and Atchenson say? ...you will run out of health before you run out of money. It's the same joy when you walk in the convention that you feel when you finally bust through the beetle kill blowdown and willows in the dark...- MaybelNellie

25 Wyoming Sheep Points
I drew in unit 2 in '22 with 22 pts and went with Meade. Avail for a call to discuss how I navigated through all the outfits. Spoke with most of them. Besides the interview with the man, next best info I wanted was where to apply and why...resident pressure and where does it come from, likely...- MaybelNellie

2024 Wyoming Elk
Packsaddle, with my 17 points can you comment on the far northwest Park County group of units? The ones that are below max need draw and weather dependent? Worth the risk in your mind if you’re over applying there in my or kep’s case? Do you speak with wood river though. My discussions with...- MaybelNellie

Elk .... Let's see them!!!
Love it when the bird dogs get to go. They only get 10-12 hunting seasons. Give them at least a seat in the truck or have the wife keep track of them at camp!- MaybelNellie

Elk .... Let's see them!!!
School Pot-lucks. Not sure if was legal, but wife used to always get asked to provide that tasty taco meat for school cinco de mayo celebrations for each of our three kids classes (2 classes per grade). Learned over the years to move from elk to MD to speed goats. The kids loved it all the same...- MaybelNellie

2024 Wyoming Elk
Thanks again to all. Met John years ago. Nice enough guy, but understand. Have an email to Corey. Talked to a new outfit in 51 that thinks best odds are hunting last week in Oct and hoping for the best if willing to "under-apply" by 2-3 points in my case. For Gen hunts and outfitters that...- MaybelNellie

Elk .... Let's see them!!!
Daughter's first bull from a couple years back. Colo 4th season. Thanksgiving morning, and missed the turkey. Mom not too happy at first... Used her 6.5 CM that she shoots well, but with the Barnes LRX 127gr. She keeps her shots under 300 yds on elk. This bull was about 150. Two quick shots...- MaybelNellie

Guided Wyoming Horseback Elk Hunt Recommendation
jnagel, thank you for your service. Sorry for late reply, but in same boat except with 2 short of max. On another thread here with same discussion, and starting my search after giving up on going on a max point tier unit with my preferred outfit that I hunted sheep with. Give me a shout, but...- MaybelNellie

2024 Wyoming Elk
Appreciate that. Heard same on 51. It's a dice roll, but you can really hit when it dumps in the park. I have a call into Josh Mart already and good to know he is a thumbs up. Always that risk with some outfitters no doubt and tough to pay for but want that late season wilderness option if...- MaybelNellie

2024 Wyoming Elk
Congrats on the awesome bull and sounds like you had a solid outfitter and experience. Is Corey Fischer still the owner at Crandall? I'm 2 below max points and put 51 on my list along with the 61/62/62 group. Done with point creep.- MaybelNellie

NWT Sheep and Caribou now on YouTube
Was lucky enough to be at Gana this year and can't agree more. Was pleased to fly back and share a meal with Jesse and Vanessa back at the hotel in Wells. Great young people to chat with about their time up north and find out what they do off-season. Jesse's eyes lit up when I told her that her...- MaybelNellie

Bury Me In The Mackenzie Mountains
Might never happen, but with the caribou populations suffering esp in BC and Alaska, high time a Caribou Foundation is formed. As Randy experienced, many sheep hunters up north kill a ram early and the caribou hunt part becomes maybe the most memorable part of the hunt. So challenging at least...- MaybelNellie

Excluding Hunting/Hunters from Wildlife Management - Episode 1 of 4
Colorado's new director (Jeff Davis, who last worked in Washington) has publicly stated or stated in closed meeting and released by others that this Mutualistic approach will either lead CPW's overall mission or at least have some impact on it. At the same time however he stated the No. American...- MaybelNellie

Sheep show anyone
Take from my mistakes, make sure to stay at the peppermill casino and hotel and not a cheaper off site place. The conv center is where the expo, seminars and <1 club deal is, but all the banquets/dinners are at the peppermill. Makes it easier to change outfits between the expo and banquets...- MaybelNellie

Sheep show anyone
Show was a blast as usual and great folks all around. The money that changed hands was simply unreal this year. Also had a nice chat with @Big Fin. Spent a bit of time talking to CPW's lead ungulate biologist at RMBS's table also. Never knew he was such a sheep nut.- MaybelNellie
