Canadian Rockies High School Graduation Trip (pic heavy)
My oldest, Caleb, graduated from high school last month. My wife had the brilliant idea of letting him plan a trip for the three of us (with some reasonable guardrails). The kid chose a week in the Canadian Rockies, which made me feel like, in spite of much evidence to the contrary, I had done...- rmyoung1

Colorado Deer Unit SIX-SIX. Third rifle.
I’m part of the great Colo point purge movement and quite pleased that they took my 20 deer points in exchange for this opportunity to hunt the south side of the Gunnison Basin. I’d love to exchange DMs with anyone who’s hunted it. This’ll be my first time in that country, and I’m looking... -

The younger Youngs
The Young house had sort of a weird 2025 from a personal finance perspective. My wife’s medical practice, for reasons not entirely understood, just had a slow summer in terms of surgical volume. I had a couple of tags (CO pronghorn, MT general elk) that I had to return when the inflows failed to... -
Left handed rifle help
I have a nephew that is in need of a left handed rifle. Preferably in 270 Win. He’s a young kid but not looking for a youth stock model. What would you buy if you were in his dad’s or mom’s shoes?- rmyoung1

Leupold BX-2 Acadia 10x42
This pair of binoculars hardly saw the light of day in my house for some reason. I initially bought them for my son, but he tended to rely on dear old dad to do his glassing for him. 🤣 Anyway, the glass is clean and the binos are in like-new condition. These things originally retail for about... -

Hunting Wyo STL for antelope
Clearly, not all Wyo state trust land is open for hunting. I understand that certain pieces under ag production are often off limits. (Example below) In many instances, however, there are portions of WY state trust land that are under ag production but not shown as closed on mapping software... -
Dear AZ, I love giving you money, but...
could you please make it easier? Applications and hunting licenses for three boys and myself mean entering the same credit card number twelve times every February. Another eight times for the deer/sheep application later this year. My poor carpal tunnel wrists and hands just can't take it... -

Sometimes it just works out
I have three boys at home, and my philosophy when introducing them to hunting has been to make trips as fun as possible. And by “fun” I mean hunting in areas where game sightings are plentiful. I guess I’ve sort of assumed that they would most likely develop a love for it if I first showed them... -
This seems timely…
Last year, as a 10-year-old, my son Luke took his first deer, a young whitetail buck, during Montana’s youth deer season. This year, now that he was a “seasoned” hunter at 11 years old, his personal goal was a good mule deer. I was happy to try to help him make it happen. We left the river... -
Arbitrary Hunting Goals
I tend to be strangely goal-oriented about things that don’t need goals attached. Hunting hasn’t escaped my neurotic tendency. For a while, I’ve had this desire to take an elk, a deer, and an antelope in each of the eight Interior Mountain West states (MT, WY, CO, NM, AZ, UT, ID, NV). I’m not...- rmyoung1

Hey, draw odds dorks…
I’m one of you, and I’m curious if anyone has out there has taken this next level and subscribed to both toprut and gohunt. How do the draw odds calculations compare? I’m only on toprut, and I swear there are some crazy weird numbers out there that I have a tough time believing, particularly...- rmyoung1

Wyoming elk with the older two
In October, I made a memorable trip to Montana for my youngest’s first deer. Next on the 2023 priority list was getting my older two to NE Wyoming in late November. I promised their mom that we’d all be home by noon on Thanksgiving Day. I think she doubted we’d make it in time. Caleb (16) and...
