If you could hunt region G or H in the Gros Ventre wilderness
The greatest misconception about hunting in Wyoming is that there are somehow more and bigger bucks and bulls inside of designated wilderness. The only consistent difference is an increase in rocks and ice. -
RIP Dick Cheney
He wasn't perfect, but he carried himself with dignity. He was a hunter and an angler, a student of history, and he understood the law. Unfortunately, the legacy of him and his daughter will be questioning the Orange Jeezus and separating themselves from his cult. The Republican Party I knew...- appaloosa

PERMIT NO. 023
Nothing like hunting at home where you'll spend a weekend wading through hundreds of bucks. I might have seen 20-25 bucks total, one other buck that was in the same galaxy. -
PERMIT NO. 023
Disbelief is really the only way to describe how this hunt unfolded. I have dreamt about hunting pronghorn in Canada for as long as I can remember and honestly never thought it was possible. I have always had a vision of what a big Canadian pronghorn looks like, and this buck was absolutely... -
PERMIT NO. 023
I returned to the area I had seen the big buck the night before the season opened, hoping to re-locate them and make a plan for opening morning. Of course, after several hours of looking I was unable to find them. Finally, on a hunch, I picked up and drove to a distant vantage to look out onto... -
PERMIT NO. 023
I spent the next several days traveling the unit and looking at other bucks, but nothing came close to the first buck. I pretty quickly came to the conclusion that this was the buck I would be after, and based on what else I had seen in the unit, I probably wouldn't be alone. -
PERMIT NO. 023
I have no idea the significance of having permit no. 23, other than it means I didn't have nearly the bonus points and I wasn't in the first pass. In fact, I really had no business drawing this tag. It takes a NR 29 points to be guaranteed a tag in this unit, I had 3. Hunting pronghorn in... -

How many 80" bucks do you think hunters just pass on by?
Easily the hardest animal to score on the hoof. I have been fooled many times in both directions. -

What kind of action is this?
This might be a stupid question, but I wonder if someone can tell me what kind of action this is? I should know way more about this gun than I do. It's a custom 257 Bob my dad had made for me many years ago. I think it is a Springfield action but that is about all I know. I would really like...
