    Current setup as of Saturday evening…. I went into this hunt knowing it be tough with low deer numbers, I have been surprised at just how low. Glad I have a couple more weeks to try and figure them out

    Time to retire the Buck 110

    I love my havalons but man I have absolutely butchered myself on multiple occasions using them. Still packing my old trusty Puma Hunters pal though for the boning and everything else. Was given an outdoor edge set that takes the same blades for Christmas last year and have yet to use it but...

    Got my buddies sons out for a weekend of youth season over the last couple days. I think they’re hooked.

    Weather and Mule deer, Wyoming badlands.

    Yeah but nothing good. Everything I’ve seen and read has the herd way down and not what it used to be at all. I figure I’m just going to do a whole lot of walking and glassing. Probably stay out on some BLM and hunt the whole season. I’ll be in a silver Tacoma that’s pretty beat up with a camper...

    Here’s my old hunting buddy Bridger a mountain feist doing what he does best. Looking for squirrels.

    Wyoming elk unit 66

    I’m thinking it’s going to be about the same deal for me. I am however looking forward to trying 125 out for mule deer. Hopefully it was worth burning the points.

    Wyoming elk unit 66

    I pulled the same cow tag this year as well... Not looking very promising with the stuff I have read.

    Weather and Mule deer, Wyoming badlands.

    The tag I pulled this year has me hunting an area I have not been in at all. I've heard that the hunting is fairly weather dependent and not what it used to be at all but was wondering if anybody had any experience hunting the area. Should I take the full two weeks or just wait and go the later...

    Wyoming Draw Results 2026

    Drew a Deer tag for 125-1. Never hunted the area before but decided to burn my points while my daughter was still stationed out that way. Hoping we can get some leave approved so we can get a week or so to hunt together, also pulled a cow/calf tag for 066 which is in the same general area. Looks...

    Rifle Caliber Recommendation - 270/308/30-06

    I am biased in saying a 270 but its only because I have killed an absolute pile of different sized critters with that particular caliber. Like you said... with the ranges you are hunting all three will do the same thing. This is where I would usually chastise other calibers but the ones you...

    WY Draw

    Im hoping it pans out. Plan on spending 2 weeks in it hunting so I can cover some ground and take my time. The big plus on it is my oldest daughter is stationed near there so I we will get to hunt some together.

    WY Draw

    Well… I burned 7 points on it so I hope it’s at least worth the view. Not read much promising stuff but I’ll set aside 2 weeks to walk around and see. A man never knows till he goes.

    When SHTF

    In another life. A long time ago when I was still naive enough to think I could do something that made a difference in the world I spent a lot of time in a lot of very poor countries. Places where if you had a handful of rice every few days you were doing better than your neighbor. Protein was...

    Water Purification

    Used the sweetwater for many years and also the Katidyn. Both have been great. Really want to give the UV pen a go but dunno about the whole battery thing.
