It took me more than a few tries, but I finally killed my first bull elk.
We were hunting in a drop camp up around Meeker. We went in just under six miles on horses, but were probably right around 2 miles from the closest 4x4 road. Friday night before season, bulls were bugling everywhere...

It is a little easier hunting on private land. For the first time ever, my group filled every tag we had on a western hunting trip. We've paid a little over a decades worth of dues on public land though with animals harvested every now and then.
Had a wonderful trip to northeastern WY and...
We are trying to decide between deer tags for B or C. We are hunting antelope on private land in a unit that coincides with C for deer, but we can't hunt deer there. I have the BLM maps for the region which looks to show that there is plenty of public land. There looks to be some large chunks...
Has anyone hunted public land in Region B that could offer some guidance? Heading up there in two weeks.
There are few walk-in areas in the area for deer also. I know quality probably varies dramatically in these areas, but are they typically decent areas to try. Any info from past...
We put in for Region B deer tags to hunt on a friends ranch he had bought there about a year ago. Just found out he sold it and the new owner won't let us hunt the property. So, we are looking into public land in Region B. I haven't hunted this area before and we aren't really interested in...
I am considering buying a new lightweight bolt action rifle in 300 WSM. I am also thinking of putting a muzzlebrake on it. Are there any drawbacks to using muzzlebrakes?
I am going to be making a 2+ week hunting trip this fall: first to Wyoming (mule deer & antelope near Lance Creek) and then to Colorado (elk in the White River NF area).
Question No. 1 - Should I expect any hassels from game wardens in the field or at game check stations when I have a dead mule...
I'm looking for a legitimate cold weather tent for next year that can take a stove. I'm tired of either sleeping cold in a pack-in tent without a heater or trying to drag my popup camper around over terrain it wasn't meant to go. Obviously, I'm considering a wall tent, but would like some...
Three friends and I are considering giving the Flattops in Colorado a try next year. I know the area gets hunted hard and that we shouldn't expect to find big bulls, but we are just wanting to connect with elk. We should be able to draw Either-Sex tags. I haven't been to the area before and...
Here are some photos from my 1st season hunt. No dead critters, but beautiful country. These pictures were taken the evening before the season opened as my brother-in-law and I hiked up from Soap
Creek toward Bonefisk Peak. I picked a poor campsite for out tent (too exposed) and got caught...
I leave for Gunnison tomorrow night. I'm hunting cows in Unit 54, probably in the upper Soap Creek area. The weather forecasts are all over the place. What do the local forecasts say for the next few days.
How old do you guys run horses for riding packing in and out in the mountains. I know it really depends on the animal. My real question is, I am about to buy a 17 year old QH for my little boy. He is in great shape, but can't go all day long at a hard pace (roping, cutting, etc) anymore. I'm...
We grow em in Texas too. I got this one year before last in the Panhandle during a year when I couldn't head out west. This is my best mulie to date. I can't wait to get to Colorado this year.

I'm hunting Unit 54 (cow tag) in Co during the first rifle season. Does anyone have any info they would share. It will be my first time there. Info I have so far has me thinking about the Soap Creek area and the Baldies.
It seems like a bunch of you guys probably used to hang around...
