Wyoming joins the elk wars
This is a definite issue. I completely understand the landowner side coming from a ranching background. However, there is a need for fresh thinking among the remaining family ranches about the whole economic model. In most cases, elk are a definite commodity as well as a nuisance. I get... -

Wyoming joins the elk wars
I am sympathetic with the ranchers to a point but the answer is so simple and even Utah gets it a bit right. Transferable depredation tags the landowner can charge a trespass or sale fee on. The demand is there. Every year the job reports talk about game and fishculling elk who won’t leave... -

Muley Freak in trouble?
I don’t think it matters. In law there is a summary judgment standard of analyzing the facts “in the light most favorable to the non moving party” This asshats Facebook response did not help his cause. Long time outfitter vs. a young lady shooting her first buck Deer clearly indentified and...- WYOMULE

Elk hunting fort peck Mt
The issue doesn't seem to be the regs here but ability to read and read a map. Never had the need to hunt up there but it can't really be different than Wyoming with 100+ areas and 7 types of tags with general seasons interspersed with the type 1 seasons. Its either an issue of being lazy or... -

Horses in elk country
I beg to differ. I have gotten my horse to some places my buddies were crying about to get an elk. Just patience and a good horse. Like my grandpa used to say when we got worried about where he was going in the steep stuff “Well he’s a hell of a lot steadier on his feet in this crap than I am”... -

Horses in elk country
Now why in the hell would you want to think about that…lol. I tell my kids if I live to the point that I’m useless and before my memory is too shot to do it I am getting on my horse and disappearing into the winds for the wolves and crows. Is there a better way to go than that. -

Grizzly Incident Count
Use what you feel comfortable with but at least in Northern Wyoming you would be crazy to only have pepper spray. 1st there is always the constant wind issue. 2nd starting with the guide a few years back there have been numerous injuries and serious fatalities where pepper spray was deployed...- WYOMULE

Grizzly Incident Count
My understanding is the Judge has essentially bought into the corridor and connected population arguments that if taken to an extreme would not mean delisting until we have bears from Mexico to Canada. When you see bears in the lower Wyomings and as close to Kemmerer and Cokeville its only a...- WYOMULE

Grizzly Incident Count
It also has to do with the difference between coastal browns and even interior grizzlies. For whatever reason, and the loss of white pine is often attributed, the greater yellowstone grizzly has really adapted to be much more aggressive and diverse in its food sources. They have become trained...- WYOMULE

WY wilderness help
Wyoming wilderness is scary. You don't want to know what happens to non-residents who sneak in there to hunt. If the grizzlies, wolves, and cats don't get the saquatches will. Also please remember all of the elk, deer, and antelope are south of Wyoming in Colorado. Anything you here...- WYOMULE

Solo Elk Adventure to Remember
Congrats! Every time I read about the stories of the armies of hunters going to Colorado I thank the Lord for my mules and for giving the Wyoming state legislature the foresight and wisdom to realize the dangers out of state hunters pose to themselves if allowed past the Wilderness sign... -

Horses in elk country
I grew up on a ranch and hunting with horses, mostly on private land and I also packed with my buddies all over as a teenager until about 10 years ago. I recently started hunting elk an area about 15-20 miles back in some really rough boulder Wyoming Wilderness country that is awesome. I had...
