    About 10 years ago you guys REALLY helped me with my WY speedgoat, now I have questions about elk.

    I started buying elk points in WY REALLY late in life, and even though I am only at 7 points, I think I should probably burn them while I can still hike! I think in 2025 I should plan an elk and/or Mulie trip to WY from Kansas. I have never hunted either and would be delighted with anything. I...

    Easy question for you all....re: elk tag vs points

    I got an email from Wyoming fish and game stating that Jan 31st was the last day to apply for an elk license. I assume if all I want to do this year is buy an elk POINT, that the deadline is much later in the year? Thank you!! Don

    I have NEVER shot a mule deer! :( ..... Would love some input on where to chase my first one.

    I have killed my fair share of whitetail, and Pronghorn, but I have yet to even hunt Mule Deer. I live in East Central KS, and I have 2 points in WY. As I start doing my research, have any of you got any input as to where I might set my sights for my first mulie hunt? Thank you!!

    ye ole' "help me with my very first elk hunt" post

    I am in the process of doing my own research, but I value your collective experiences more than my newbie speculation. For several years I planned on going on my first elk hunt as my dream hunt. I bought points in WY for 4 years, then a messy divorce stomped out those dreams. (just being...

    Baby horns, under the mature horns...

    I knew the process by which next years horns were grown, but I have never actually pulled a pair of next years horns out of this years horns! Is this common?

    Garmin Oregon 450T AND WY ONX chip....CHEAP !

    I paid a lot more, and the ones on eBay are a lot more, but I just don't need it any longer. $75, plus $10 to ship it. Or I may trade for hunting related items. Thanks! Don

    This site has literally changed my life!... oh, and an antelope story!

    Back in the late fall of 2015 I stumbled across this website, and began reading about hunting "out West". I was 49, and fretting over whether or not I'd ever get to fulfill my dream of going on an actual hunting trip, and not just shooting a deer in a corn field down the street. With no points...

    I really need some help wit a preference points strategy!

    I am 51, and basically have zero points for anything,... anywhere! (I have a single point for elk in WY) I live in Kansas so I am a NR for pretty much everything, even tho there are some tiny opportunities for elk, pronghorn, and muley in KS. I have gotten my pronghorn the last few years in...

    Alaska guide Creations bino harness like new (bought wrong size)

    I bought the harness because I really liked it, however the binos that I bought don't fit. It's a great case but the binos that I got are massive! First $50 gets it!

    Pronghorn hunting and the rabbit "cycle"...

    Each year I travel to the northeast/east central part of WY for pronghorn, and always plan on trying to get some "camp meat" in the form of a rabbit or 2. I have always heard that cottontail rabbits have a boom/bust cycle. Every year that I hunt pronghorn in the east central area of WY I buy a...

    Making conversation before draw results --- opening week or last week?

    Each year that I have hunted pronghorn in WY, I have hunted the last week of the season. Just curious as to what everyone's opinion is regarding the "best" plan for hunting pronghorn on public in WY. I'd love to hear your ideas and your reasons behind the plan you prefer. I am leaning toward...

    Just a positive comment about an old WY land owner and NR permission....

    With so much negative in the news and on social media I wanted to post a quick positive comment. I am hoping to take my wife out west for a fun antelope hunt this October. I have been researching an area for MANY months, and found a honey hole! In fact on google earth you can actually see...

    Tikka T3 lite vs weatherby vanguard in .243 (Ford vs Chevy)

    I love my Tikka in .270 with a Leupold scope! I got a great deal on the rifle and the glass. Now it's time to buy a rifle that will be shared between my wife and daughters, for game no larger than Kansas whitetail. As far as caliber I am strongly leaning toward a .243, and I have a good...

    Brand new users asking for unit and draw advice.... conversation -

    Is it just me or does it seem like that are more posts this year with new members (less than 5 posts) asking: 1. We are traveling from X, and looking for information on unit X. 2. Can someone explain the draw process for 0 points? Now, I am NOT complaining especially since I was in the exact...

    New twist on squirrel ... pot pie "ish"

    My squirrel stash in the deep-freeze was getting out of control so I decided to make something different, but familiar. I whipped up a traditional pot pie preparation substituting squirrel for chicken. Instead of using a traditional pie crust I made a puff-pastry cup, added minced mushrooms...

    Looking for wool gear doesn't have to be name brand, can even be VERY used!

    2 years ago Blake on here sold me some really cool FirstLite gear. It was well worn, but I really love it, and would like to start acquiring some more. Unfortunately after losing my job, this summer AND suffering a house fire in July, new wool hunting gear is WAY down on the list of...

    Looking for a bino case (maybe even some binos)

    I am in the market for some binos, but obviously I will also need a decent bino case. I could care less if it's dirty and beat up... just looking for one that functions. thanks! Don

    Pronghorn binos on a BUDGET

    I have been all over the internet (and back) looking at "budget" binos and I'm shocked at how many manufacturers consider $1,200 to be "budget" binos. This will be almost exclusively for my annual pronghorn hunt. I have been making due with a $18 pair of bushnells that I got at their outlet...

    Beef "Venison" Wellington for Christmas.... HUGE hit!!

    My wife has been on me to make this for literally 8 years! I finally broke down and did it, and it was better than I could have hoped! Served with whipped Yukon gold potatoes and a homemade brown mushroom gravy! If any of you would like to tackle this, I'd be happy to share the "recipe"...
