    Drew first choice antelope with my Dad, brother, and sons. A couple of my sons and I also drew late season bull tags.

    Kuiu attack pants

    I have 2 pairs. I really like the hip vents. They're durable in the sense that they don't rip easily and they're comfy. The pocket size/location on the Attacks is also very good. But I feel like the fabric snags and pills a bit and they collect burrs like no other. Ultimately they're a polyester...

    WY General Question

    Just buy a general tag over the counter in September. Plenty of areas to hunt with that. You can also always get a Type 8 cow tag for several different areas. That's in addition to your general tag.

    Wyoming Draw Results 2026

    I haven't looked systematically at other years, but this year non-residents had better draw odds than residents for mountain goat 3-2 (2.6% vs 1.7%) and cow bison (13.4% vs. 12.7%). To put it a different way, a resident applying for 40 years at those odds would have a 50% chance of drawing a...

    Vacation ideas

    Black Hills are a great idea! Tons of fun stuff to do there. We like to stay in Rapid City at one of the hotels that links to the Watiki waterpark, then day trip to: Jewel Cave, Reptile Gardens, Bear Country USA, Wind Cave, Mount Rushmore, the Badlands, mountain coasters, zip lines, etc. It was...

    No dice for moose, sheep, goat, or bison for me, my wife, or my three boys.

    Vacation ideas

    When my boys were that age I think the best times were camping in the woods by a small lake with something to paddle around with (canoe, kayak, raft, etc.). They can move between playing on the shore, paddling, fishing, exploring, and working on the campfire. Lots of places in Wyoming you could...

    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.

    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...

    What am I missing UTV vs. Jeep

    Agreed, if you hunt by yourself, this is definitely the easiest approach.

    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...

    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!

    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.
