New Zealand in May
I brought the antlers from my stag back on the plane as checked baggage. Wrapped them in bubble wrap and sent them through the airline. It was super easy, with a little paperwork from the FWS and an extra stop at customs. I didn't bring a cape though and I don't think you can just bring it...- appaloosa

they're at it again in Wyoming -
We are blessed with a "Freedom Caucus" in our Wyoming Legislature. They are collectively the dumbest group of people I have ever interacted with. I know some of them personally, some of them peripherally, but they all share one common quality: a lack of IQ. I am not a bit surprised to see...- appaloosa

When does the fever hit you? (Buck fever)
Nothing quite compares to the moment you lay eyes on the one you are after. Whether it's a cow elk or a 200" muley, the moment you realize it's the one you are after, that's when it hits me. I never have, but I've always imagined, it's gotta be like the moment you stick that needle in your...- appaloosa

Another one bites the dust: dead transplanted wolf in Colorado
Wolves have had such an impact on the part of western Wyoming that I live in, that you can only kill three elk a year now. Wolves are exactly what Buzz says they are: an excuse for hunters and a reason to complain. I won't be holding my breath for the eminent collapse of elk and deer hunting...- appaloosa

If you could hunt region G or H in the Gros Ventre wilderness
The greatest misconception about hunting in Wyoming is that there are somehow more and bigger bucks and bulls inside of designated wilderness. The only consistent difference is an increase in rocks and ice. -
RIP Dick Cheney
He wasn't perfect, but he carried himself with dignity. He was a hunter and an angler, a student of history, and he understood the law. Unfortunately, the legacy of him and his daughter will be questioning the Orange Jeezus and separating themselves from his cult. The Republican Party I knew...- appaloosa

PERMIT NO. 023
Nothing like hunting at home where you'll spend a weekend wading through hundreds of bucks. I might have seen 20-25 bucks total, one other buck that was in the same galaxy. -
PERMIT NO. 023
Disbelief is really the only way to describe how this hunt unfolded. I have dreamt about hunting pronghorn in Canada for as long as I can remember and honestly never thought it was possible. I have always had a vision of what a big Canadian pronghorn looks like, and this buck was absolutely... -
PERMIT NO. 023
I returned to the area I had seen the big buck the night before the season opened, hoping to re-locate them and make a plan for opening morning. Of course, after several hours of looking I was unable to find them. Finally, on a hunch, I picked up and drove to a distant vantage to look out onto...
