My annual tag count is pretty significant due to great opportunities with state and tribal license options and the family ranch for access. Just in SD between state and tribal tags I should have 2 rifle antelope tags, 4 rifle deer tags (3 buck, 1 doe), 2 archery buck tags, and at least a cow elk...
Congrats! I'm a landowner in NC and I allow other hunters to hunt my places. Me and my buddy have two Antelope doe tags Type 7 for Area 23 we bought before we understood how hard it would be to find private land access to shoot a doe antelope. We are looking for a place to hunt a doe since we...
Part Two
Except for the surprise deep hole I stepped in, it was an easy crossing, sandy bottom, slow current and wide. I scrambled out, took advantage of some cover and glassed upriver.
They were still, browsing, walking, stopping, heads going up and down.
The cover was minimal...
Money bottom line, (insert any F&G agency). Gotta keep biologist and such employed with funding. Having said that WY. is pretty good at juggling that fine line. Populations are pretty low right now out there based on the past in many areas.
Intook mine with a 7mm mag.
I took mine with a 7mag. Just stay behind the shoulders. Use a bullet that will stay together so it dose not blow up and destroy everything your food.
I go out to Wyoming for venison. Lots of doe White tails and doe antelope and tags are cheap. Its the meat im after not the trophy. Im the exception most guys are out hunting for antler bragging and who knows where the venison ends up
(Sort of in order)
ID mountain goat (daughter's tag)
ID archery gen deer (semi-serious...have a few interesting bucks hanging around near me that I'll try for if they hang around)
UT rifle cow elk (burned points due to price increase)
ID deer (twin daughters and wife)
UT rifle gen deer with...
I agree. We figured out the antelope doe game toward the end of the good years. My hunting buddy and I were like dang for basically $80 we can shoot 2 does or give $300 for a buck. Ya I’ll come out and hunt does every year. My last 2 trips to Wyoming have been for does and cow elk. I’m just fine...
School Pot-lucks. Not sure if was legal, but wife used to always get asked to provide that tasty taco meat for school cinco de mayo celebrations for each of our three kids classes (2 classes per grade). Learned over the years to move from elk to MD to speed goats. The kids loved it all the same...
Two more rabbit outings, and no shots fired. Plenty of animals, but cover too thick or just no clear shot.
Since I have just a partial day here and there to hunt deer, I’ve been patiently waiting to play my cards. Skipped warm days, and skipped wind/ice storm on Sun/Mon. Scouted for 1 hr after...
For some, hunting vintage is an evolutionary process. It starts as a '''back up'' then maybe a doe rifle or a one-day-a-year rifle. For me, I kinda started there, but not everyone does.
But truly hunting vintage means leaving the modern stuff at home, even (and most especially) when trying...
How many animals have you shot with a ELD-X or SST? I've shot 3 with a ELD-X (granted not a large survey pool) and either personally killed or been right there when 50+ animals have died by a SST (4 alone last year). If you'd line up every animal I'd easily pick out the three killed with the...
