    If a guy wanted to retire in Wyoming what towns should he look at?

    One thing to consider is that Wyoming is short on specialized health services. If you are willing to drive, then living in a town close to Salt Lake or Denver is probably a better bet. Casper, Rock Springs, and Cody are probably the best towns if you do not want to drive a long distance for...

    Beaver Hunting with a Deer Rifle in the Ruby Mountains in Nevada?

    If you are going to target them, then I would be prepared to swim. If they sink, you have to go get them. If they float out of reach, you have to go get them. Hiking into deer camp in the rubies with Waders is not fun. Once upon a time, I hiked into Liberty Lake with a float tube /...

    WY Moose Outfitter

    It depends on what type of hunt that he wants. You could shoot one next to a two track or road fairly easily un guided, it is a high density Moose area. You could have an outfitter pack you in like Meateater did in Season 9 with Crooked Sky Outfitters.

    WY proposed regulation change Disabled Veterans!

    If a Wyoming resident wants to be a part of the tag donation program and donates the tag to an individual, then there shouldn't be a limit on it how many years in a row. Nor should there be a waiting period. It's there tag and they can donate it how they see fit. If the tag is donated to a...

    Utah fees increase: keep applying?

    Utah was fun. Used to draw swan, general deer, and cow elk every couple of years and hunt there. I did draw LE Bull Elk in 2016, Sage Grouse in 2019, and Doe Pronghorn in 2022 as well. But I got out a last year. Tons of points that I wish I could transfer to others, but they will just...

    Im looking for your best diving duck recipes?

    Any Ruddy that swims into the decoys is getting BB's. I know a lot that will not shoot them because they often swim into the decoys rather than fly, but they need to get off their high horse. They are a good eating duck.

    Im looking for your best diving duck recipes?

    Diver Ducks depend on what they are eating. Aquatic plants eaters are good vs fish/crustaceans are bad Red Heads, Ruddies, and Cans are quite good. Scaup, Ringnecks, and Buffleheads are not bad depending on what they are eating. Goldeneyes and Mergansers aren't worth the shotgun shell to...

    Quintessential Western Whitetail?

    To be the quintessential western WT hunt is in the river bottoms next to fields in a small section of public. You watch a flock of turkeys feed and wish they were deer instead. Then you see a whitetail buck appear randomly out of nowhere across the river under 150 yards. Lay the hammer on...

    Central White tail deer are nonexistent.

    I have hunted that area before, the reason why I do not put in for it is the youth pheasant hunt bumping the deer around. I do think the WT's are down across the state, but I still filled my tags this year in Wyoming. I did see a ton of deer through the Riverton and Lander area of both...

    Which western states have been disproportionately good to you in drawing tags?

    Utah. But I'm out now. Not going to pay their prices anymore. $190 for the licence and then $15 for an app fee. It used to be $80 with a $10 App fee Drew LE elk back when it was $800 and now it is $1,950. Drew Swan multiple times when it was just the App fee, now it is $195 + the app fee...
