    First hand Covid symptoms

    Entire family got it the last week. Kids passed it quickly aged 5 and 2. My wife and I had similar symptoms. I considered it a bad cold (my wife and I are both vaccinated and boostered). One night I had pretty good back pain and night sweats but other than that we recovered pretty quickly.

    Range on a GSP

    Me too my dog last weekend was on point 55 yards away down this steep hill at the end of the day in 3 plus feet of snow. It took all I had to go chase the birds haha....

    Range on a GSP

    My GSP was like yours his first season. 20-80 yards. This year in his second season he is starting to range out to up to about 200 tops. That's all I want in a dog range since the mountains I hunt in Alaska 400 yards can take you 30 minutes if there is snow. I'm guessing your dog will start to...

    Can you talk me out of getting a GSP

    Agreed like I said for some birds a far ranging dog will find a lot more. I think prairie birds and mtn birds like chukar and ptarmigan that is especially true.

    Can you talk me out of getting a GSP

    I have had labs and GSPs and pointing labs. I currently have a GSP because I upland hunt more than anything. IF you want a dog that covers country and may be 200-400 yards away and holding on birds get a pointing dog. For people saying that a flusher will kill as many birds this may be true for...

    Unit 10 wyoming deer thunder basis grasslands

    I grew up there... You have a chance for a big deer but more likely you will see a lot of 2-3 year old 4 points. Again the public property might be over stated. A lot of that area is leased by coal mines and you can't hunt that/

    German Shorthair Pointer input

    I would ask the breeder a lot of questions. Do they fit your hunting style, what are the testing backgrounds? How far do they range? Pro's- great dogs. They are super motivated and energetic. They love to work. Cons-Bit bull headed and independent. Got to be consistent on training. They...

    Anxiously awaiting Wyoming Non-Res elk drawing results...

    I grew up in Wright, good luck. There are some big elk in that unit. I would consider paying a trespass fee or getting a guide if I were you public access can be difficult. A lot of the area that looks public isn't because of coal mines.

    Stone sheep raffle only 500 tickets sold!

    Yeah but the AK one is for a fenced hunt. You have to pay 20 grand extra to make it in a non fenced area.

    11 Points in WY

    75% of tags go to highest point holders, 25% are random draw. The problem is 22 doesn't have enough tags for a random draw tag (unless it changes this year). So all the tags for 22 will be preference points holders.

    11 Points in WY

    You will not have a enough points for unit 22. It will take max points and then probably only 10% of people with max points will draw a tag.

    2019-2020 elk

    Yep you are correct I looked at that wrong, I thought 45 was like 38, 39 and 40 where you can't hunt with a type 1 tag. 45 you can hunt sept 15-30th. Sorry for the false info.
