Arizona Unit (rhymes with Kevin)
I had no business drawing this tag, but I'm certainly going to try and do it justice. Hunting pronghorn in AZ is pretty high on my bucket list and this will almost certainly be my OIL chance. I understand the challenges this unit presents to NR diy hunters, but I am going to give it my best... -
How old was this buck?
Let's play a fun game of guess the age... I just got the lab-confirmed age results back from this deer that my son harvested in 2023. Can you guess his age from live pictures? The first picture was taken in the fall of 2022 (hardhorned). The second two pictures were early September 2023... -
State Land in Jackson, WY headed for auction
I am surprised this hasn't garnered more interest here, but this has been quite the saga. Despite strong public opposition, the Office of State Lands is recommending an auction for 640 acres of prime wildlife habitat near Grand Teton Park. Grand Teton Park has interest in purchasing it, but...- appaloosa

When Men were Men
This might be the coolest photo I have of my dad. Hauling out an entire elk, whole on the back of his horse, covered in denim while pounding an Oly in one hand as he smiles for a picture. I love seeing these old pictures, no trophies, no poses, no product placements, no click bait, just...- appaloosa

Wyoming Corner Crossing Bill
A corner crossing bill has now been filed in the Wyoming Senate. SF180 would basically clarify the legality of crossing from one corner of public land to another. https://wyoleg.gov/Legislation/2023/SF0180 I am curious what our local public land advocates think of this effort and its...- appaloosa

Do you like mass?
I do, so this guy got me pretty excited. Unfortunately, I suck at taking pictures and I'm even worse at telling stories, so I'll just leave these here for the masses (no pun intended). -

Trophy room build
I have been wanting a for-real, bona fide, trophy room/bar/mancave/whatever for a while. Had mounts and racks all over the place and wanted to get them all in one place, out of the direct sun, and in a place where I could enjoy them. So I finally got around to it this year. We had a huge...- appaloosa

The Gift
I have been struggling with how to accurately articulate this story, how do you do justice to something and someone so special? Last Saturday morning only an hour into our hunt, this beautiful bull cooperated long enough for my son to get in the right position to make a shot. All hands were...- appaloosa

6.5 x 300 WBY
I just won a 6.5x300. Not a caliber I would be particularly interested in otherwise, but I'm curious enough to play around with it and see what I can come up with. Anybody else shooting one of these barrel burners? What kind of loads have you put together for it?- appaloosa

Aiden's whitetail
I have been holding on to this one for a while, but feel like we could all use a bit of a distraction right now. Many of you probably got the chance to meet my son Aiden thanks to Randy's visit during his mule deer series in Wyoming. Just days after that experience we were treated to an... -
Buck of the Year?
I can't express how proud I am of this young man and what he has overcome. He was so excited when he drew his first buck tag. I had several private land opportunities lined up for him, but he insisted he hunt public land like his idol Randy Newberg. I was skeptical that we would get the right... -
Queenstown New Zealand
My wife is dragging me to NZ in March for a bussiness trip. Curious if folks on here have much input on what might be available there for hunting opportunity in and around Queenstown. I'm not particularly interested in the "Estate" type 5star accommodations racket, are other private land...- appaloosa
