Federal Premium 200gr Terminal Ascents 300WM - Can anyone give me a review?
They're what I use in my 300 WM. Killed 2 bulls with them so far. One heart shot at 90 yards, one high shoulder at 400 yards. Both one shot kills. Mine run just over 2900 fps out of my rifle, which is nearly 100 fps over box values.- Cornell Cowboy

Still Hunting Mule Deer in the Mountain West?
I think in general mule deer densities in most areas are too low to support that style of hunting. You need to cover too much ground and you can't do that at still hunting speed, but you can sitting behind glass. I'm not saying there's no scenario where it might work, I just think it's a low...- Cornell Cowboy

What am I missing UTV vs. Jeep
Agreed, if you hunt by yourself, this is definitely the easiest approach.- Cornell Cowboy

What am I missing UTV vs. Jeep
I just switched from a Polaris Ranger this year to a Jeep Rubicon JL with 35s and a lift. For me it was the right choice. I can absolutely go anywhere my Ranger could go, even more actually. The deciding factor for me is that I don't have to deal with transporting the Ranger on a trailer. It's a...- Cornell Cowboy

Elk .... Let's see them!!!
Glassed him bedding 3/4 of a mile across a canyon. Took a while to get over to him, but finally caught him bedded in the timber pocket we saw him go into. My son's first bull!- Cornell Cowboy

Challenging to find staff who have hunting experience. Is hunting declining in interest.
I'm in Mechanical Engineering. I think across the country in general hunting is in decline, but I haven't seen that here in Wyoming.- Cornell Cowboy

I'm a bit surprised. As the department head in one of the engineering departments at UW I can say that within our faculty, easily more than half hunt and within the students in the department I would guess it's higher than that (at least among the guys). I'm not sure what fields you're looking...- Cornell Cowboy

2025 Wyoming Moose
Got out for my only archery weekend with my middle son (13-yr old). Got camp set up on Friday evening in a beautiful draw. The plan was to try my hand at calling. On Saturday morning we made our way up the draw a mile or so and set up to call. After calling for an hour or so, we heard antler...- Cornell Cowboy

I bought a more compact tripod to shave weight, but I was glad I brought the spotter. Plus it was nice for digiscoping.- Cornell Cowboy

Upcoming AK Caribou hunt
Agree 100%. Good call on the waders... they're an absolute must. I used NEOS waders and that worked pretty well.- Cornell Cowboy
