No kidding. I live in WY and still sit in or lay on cactus about every year. -
Domestic Livestock in the Bighorn National Forest
They graze the crap out of it, taking down to nothing. The cattle erode the stream banks, poop and urinate in the streams and overtake your camp sites. There are only lomited mountain ranges and clear streams in this world, yet the gov allows ranchers to destroy them. Imagine if we went up and...- manitou1

interesting shot from a "hunting celebrity"
I would have shot too. Easy to be a recliner quarterback. Envy is a terrible thing.- manitou1

Help: Muleys Vanished 🙄
Every decent mule deer buck I have ever located/scouted vanishes after ONE sighting. Welcome to my world, lol. Serious though. Good luck. -
Boot Recommendations
I have had two pair of Meindls. The latest are 2024 Vacuum Hunters. Neither gave me any ankle support in the mountains. They would be fine for prairie hunting I suppose. I have used Lowa Caminos (and Camino EVOs), Lowa Tibets, Lowa Zephyrs, Zamberlain Wasatch 981, Scarpa Kenesis, two pair of...- manitou1

Newest US Senate Land Sale Amendment
They are public and have stayed public as they have been given value. Un Sam gets lease money from those wells, adding value to the equation, among other benefits… roads and bridges funded by the industry. Contributions for re-establishment of habitat and wildlife forage are also benefits. Are...- manitou1

Newest US Senate Land Sale Amendment
Well, we had to evacuate our three year old home last year due to fire. The wind shifted and we got lucky… others, not so much. If it is infrequent fire with large fuel loads… as we have in many areas, it gets too hot and kills the seed, which then is replaced by undesireable growth. God...- manitou1

Newest US Senate Land Sale Amendment
That sounds like a Liberal political hit piece to me. Wyoming experienced the worst forest fires in their written history last year. They also experienced their three largest wildfires (prairie fires)… but that is another discussion. The forest fires burned out of control largely due to...- manitou1

How Far is Too Far? Wyoming Legislature Mulls Shot Distance Restrictions
Do they REALLY want to reduce over kill and increase herd numbers? QUIT OVER SELLING TAGS!!! That would have the greatest impact.- manitou1

Your OCD Curse
Crooked things: pics, mirrors, etc. Drawers not closed completely. Clutter Disorganization. Tools, water jugs, buckets left in the yard (my wife’s forte’). Door dings or scratches on my truck… and it lives off road. Shoes left scattered in the garage. Dish towels just tossed on the counter...- manitou1

Wyoming unit 22. First western hunt ever!
22 is a zoo. Private land can be, and is phenominal. Public is over crowded. It isn’t hunting… it is racing to the animal to get there first between the other dozen people trying to kill. Dies are doable because most residents here refuse to kill does any more. The population is on steady... -
The Fishin’ Was Too Good
I listened to a podcast with an interview with a semi-famous Western warden. His words: If you hunt and fish long enough, you WILL break a game law… mostly by accident. I am a little jealous of your wallye success Randy. 🥴😁- manitou1
