AZ UNIT 7E ARCHERY-water question
What advantage does a flatline map have over OnX maps? Yes we were planning on hunting the wilderness, but if there are cows in the flats, that would be cool too and certainly less physically taxing. And yes, I have been hunting long enough to know success is getting home without injuries and... -
AZ UNIT 7E ARCHERY-water question
Thanks for info. Yes, any elk is a trophy for a couple of gals with sticks and strings. Scariest thing I guess is lightening for me. -
AZ UNIT 7E ARCHERY-water question
My fellow huntress friend and I drew archery cow tags for 7E. It will be my first time hunting the area, first elk hunt in AZ, and my friend’s first elk hunt ever. I have a couple of questions. I am going to scout lots in the next three months. Our hunt is the last two weeks of September... -
CO Bighorn unit 21 Ewe hunt
Can anyone help me out? I have a ewe tag, and this will be my one and only chance to hunt Bighorn sheep in my life. My tag is for the western half of unit 21.

Women's Hunting packs
I use a Kelty Redcloud (not made anymore) women's pack for meat. For daypack, I absolutely love my Tenzing 1250 Lumbar pack. My Tenzing has some long straps hanging around from adjusting it for my fit, but I love how practical it is for me. I ended up carrying a quartered out mule deer doe on...- handymom

Wyoming Antelope Public Land. Hunting
Look at the amount of WIA and HMA land there is in different counties. If it is pieces of 400-600 acres, forget it. Look for public access land upwards of 2000 acres. You can also look up the state trust land on a website and it will show you what state land is inaccessible...and see how much... -

Wyoming antelope unit 32
There is good public access but they issued less than 30 any antelope tags and less than 30 antelope doe tags. Took 4 preference points for type 1. You probably need to look into another area. Hunting draw odds are here: https://wgfd.wyo.gov/Hunting/Drawing-Odds/2016-Drawing-Odds -
