Wyoming point creep. How bad will it be for the NR elk draw this year?
You were right! It appears it took a little luck for our hunting partner with 4 points in the special. Phew Now to ramp up the planning process -

Wyoming point creep. How bad will it be for the NR elk draw this year?
My dad and I are in together with 5 points each in the regular, and our hunting partner is in with 4 points in the special. So there are a few different potential outcomes for us. Hopefully it ends up with one that involves us hunting Wyoming this fall! Good luck all -

Accommodations in Casper, Wyoming
Thanks all for the advice and suggestions! Sounds like there are some decent places to stay and lots of good food options. Is there a bait and tackle shop in Casper we should hit to get set-up for trout fishing? Are there any really good hunting stores in Casper or elsewhere in NE Wyoming? -

Accommodations in Casper, Wyoming
I am going to be in Casper WY in early October for antelope hunting and I need to book somewhere for my friend and I to stay. It’s our first time in Casper. Can anyone recommend a decent and hunter-friendly hotel, B&B or Airbnb for us to stay at? If anyone has any other suggestions for places... -

Ammo and Optics for 7mm-08
Thanks. I’m in Canada and I’m fairly sure we can’t order guns or ammo from outside of Canada. I’m sure I can find other options from elsewhere in Canada if these Noslers don’t work out. -

Ammo and Optics for 7mm-08
Update: There weren’t many options at my local Cabela’s so went with Nosler Accubond in 140 gr. Hopefully the gun likes them! Still working on choosing/finding a scope and rings. -

Ammo and Optics for 7mm-08
To be honest I’ve never really thought about the lead-free options and don’t know a lot about the reasons why people choose them. I assume for environmental and health reasons, but are there other pros (or cons) to lead free bullets? -

Ammo and Optics for 7mm-08
Thanks all. Sounds like a relative consensus around 140 grains at least. I probably won’t go through that much ammo so I might try out some of the premium stuff like Nosler. I figure with potentially shooting an antelope at longer range and with using 7mm-08 on an elk I will want as much... -

Ammo and Optics for 7mm-08
I just purchased a Weatherby Vanguard S2 in 7mm-08 and would greatly appreciate recommendations on: 1. Ammo selection (brand, model and weight). I am going to hunt antelope, elk and whitetail with it this fall and my preference would be to settle on one cartridge to cover all three. 2. A... -

Proper Meat Care for Antelope
I’ve never tried the gutless method, but I’m pretty sure that’s what we’ll do this fall. For people who have done this, how hard is it to get the tenderloins out? -

Things to do around casper
Thanks. That brings me to another question I’ve been wondering about. As someone from the north with no dangerous snakes around, what should I know about snakes while hunting antelope and fishing around Casper? E.g. should we be wearing gaiters at all times, etc.?- Toban204

Things to do around casper
Hi all, is Fremont Canyon a good spot for shore fishing with spincasting gear without waders? I’m going to unit 73 in October this fall and would love to catch a trout or two once the antelope hunt is finished. Thanks!- Toban204

Proper Meat Care for Antelope
In your experience what’s the typical turn-around time on having an antelope processed by a butcher? I’m going to be hunting close to Casper WY, then driving out of state. -

Proper Meat Care for Antelope
As a bit of an aside, when you are quartering and skinning an antelope as quickly as possible, what do you do to ensure you stay onside with the evidence of sex laws for big game? I looked at the Wyoming G&F website, but it’s not clear to me how you can keep the genitals attached if you are... -

Favorite time of year to hunt them?
What is it you like about the first week of October? I will likely be going for the second week of October this fall and I’m wondering what it will be like around that time.
