Missing CO Hunters
They did all that. The lesson is NEVER leave your gear behind to chase a nearby bugle or to follow a scurrying grouse. I’ve left gear behind before because I didn’t think I’d be going more than 50 yards. I regret it every time.- jtm307

Elk of a lifetime
I got my first/biggest bull ever that day, a day that'll be tough to beat for sure. -
Another sage grouse thread
Season is finalized in April. In the western half of the state, it's been the last ten days of September, give or take a day or two. You could call a biologist and see if they anticipate the season being different this year.- jtm307

WY Area 7 Unlimited Tags
I never hunt elk in converse county. I thought about type 2 as a second choice this year, but I think General sounds much better. I’ve never had a hunt disrupted by other hunters in a general area. I’ve had stalks ruined by other hunters multiple times in area 7. -
WY Area 7 Unlimited Tags
Did anyone hunt in area 7 this year? How was the pressure/elk concentration compared to other years, when there weren't type 8 tags? -

Is this normal?
Experienced sharp-tailed grouse hunters, what do you think? I've been hunting deer and antelope in an area I've never hunted and I have been running into insane numbers of sharptails.

Wyoming wallet alert
Hunting big game as a non resident is a privilege, not a right. Raise the price until the odds drawing a general elk tag are 1:1. Increase the price of everything else each year by whatever CPI is. Owning things (in this case, Wyoming citizens "owning" wildlife) is not cheap. There's nothing...- jtm307

Who here loves CJ Box?
In all seriousness, although I've never read a CJ Box novel and almost certainly never will (I'm more into authors long dead), I respect any guy (or gal) who gets rich writing "cookie cutter" fiction. I also won't dis a person who spends their riches and free time in exactly the way I imagine I...- jtm307

Which slope to start with?
And if all you find are old tracks, follow them. Old tracks lead to fresh tracks, fresh tracks lead to elk. -

2024 WY pronghorn, deer, and R elk draw
In 2022 I had the most miserable elk pack out of my life. I've been itching to get back and do it again. I drew the tag! Hopefully the pack out is more enjoyable this time around.- jtm307
