    Meat Packer Near Casper, WY

    I will be hunting antelope in an area south of Casper, WY. The next nearest town to my hunt area is Rawlins. Can anyone recommend a wild game meat processor in either of those towns? Thanks, Ed

    Reloading the 375 H&H

    Thank you all. That gives me a lot to chew on. I've chronographed some test loads with 235 and 250 grain bullets and WW 760 powder and I was disappointed in the velocities. While the data on the Winchester Powder website shows velocities greater than 2900 fps, my actual measurements were about...

    Reloading the 375 H&H

    I recently bought a .375 H&H and I'm working on developing a hunting load for it. I'm focusing on the lighter bullets, 235 and 250 grain, to obtain a relatively high velocity and flat trajectory out to 350 yards. Does anyone out there have any pet loads that they are willing to share? Thanks...

    Meat Processing in Wyoming

    I found several in Casper and one in Rawlins from an internet search, but I am hoping to learn which ones are good and which ones to avoid. As Pointingdogsrule pointed out below, all butchers are not created equal so I'm looking for recommendations.

    Meat Processing in Wyoming

    I've killed a number of antelope before and I've butchered deer, pigs, and an elk. But I'm not very good at it and I'd rather leave it to an expert. I get a better product from a GOOD butcher. (Ive also had some bad results, too, which is why I'm looking for recommendations.)

    Meat Processing in Wyoming

    I'm planning an antelope hunt in Wyoming area 63. The area is between Casper and Rawlins. I will need a meat processor in one of those towns, or another town nearby. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Eurasian Doves in SoCal

    I'm looking for some place to hunt Eurasian doves in Southern California, within about 3 or 4 hours of north Orange County. Does anyone know of someplace that they can be found that you are willing to share?

    Wyoming Deer Area 157

    I'm planning my first Wyoming deer hunt this fall and I'm looking are area 157. I've hunted elk and antelope in Wyoming for the last several years but I've never hunted deer there and I've never hunted in this part of the state. There is quite a bit of public land in the area, so much in fact...

    Meat Processors in NM

    I'll be heading west toward southern California. The most direct route will be I-40. But I'm not averse to a small detour.

    Meat Processors in NM

    I'm going elk hunting near Gallup New Mexico next year and, being optimistic, I'm looking for advice or recommendations on a meat processor. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Where to hunt?

    It's just one man's opinion but I hunt WY every year as a non-resident. My first out-of-state hunt was a guided elk hunt on mixed public & private land in southwestern MT. I loved it, and I killed a cow, but it was expensive and so I had to find a cheaper alternative. I found WY and I've...

    Wyoming Meat Processors

    I have antelope tags for area 15, which is between Sheridan & Buffalo, and I am looking for a good processor in that area. I used Paintrock Processing last year but I'm hoping to find someone good that is a little closer to where I'll be hunting. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

    Meat Field Care

    I've never had to deal with this problem because I've always hunted within a few hours of a butcher. But this year is going to be different, I expect to have to preserve antelope in the field for 3 or 4 days. Temperatures are likely to be in the 40s at night and up to 75 at the warmest part of...

    Rawlins WY Meat Cutters

    Thanks for all of the good information. By the way, I spoke with one of the area game wardens yesterday and he recommended Trails West. He said that the previous owners weren't very good but that somebody else recently took it over and they did well by him last year. It sounds like the same...
