    A long time coming. Wifes WY antelope

    Just on our drive back from Wyoming and wanted to share some pics of our hunt. Through the years this site as well as a few others like MM and Rokslide have been great at connecting with guys and being able to ask some questions while planning a hunt. Wife ended up burning 15 points this year...

    Fontenelle WY fly fishing

    Hey all! Wife and I are headed down to Rock Springs to hunt antelope in unit 58. If we tag out early, I thought the idea of a fly fish (guided float likely) was a good idea. Have heard good things about the tail water below Fontenelle. Wondering if anyone has any comments about fishing...

    Timing to contact regional biologists re winter/populations

    Hey Guys, Looking at drawing my wife down in the Red Desert this year near Rawlins, and I'm curious on timing when a person should be reaching out regarding populations/winter severity/etc in doing research? We're pretty committed to one zone, but nice to check in and also have a couple...

    A BC Stone's sheep story

    Well, figured I should post up a bit of a write up about my 2021 BC Stone's sheep trip. Got back on Sept 21st and finally have some time to sit down and write it over the next night shift or two. Hunt planning went back to January of this year, when my friend from Alberta and I got talking...

    Select-a-Bull vs Berry Thunder Bugle

    Hey Guys, I've used a Primos pack bugle for a while and an older Abe and Sons bugle. Looking to add something new, and have heard a ton of great things about the Thunder bugle but the Select-a-bull has really caught my eye and I love listening to Corey and Randy on ElkTalk whenever I can and...

    Teaching Cross-Eye Dominant 7 year old

    Hey All! Found out in the past couple weeks while shooting some BB gun and archery with my 7 year old that she's cross eye dominant. We tried to set her up to shoot LH with the BB gun but she said its super uncomfortable. She uses her left eye in a really weird position to shoot the BB gun...

    Considerations between Red Desert/Thermopolis Choices

    Hey All, Not a post about 'trophy size' or 'where we could kill the best buck' as I'm sure any of the zones that we pick are going to be similar for trophy quality if we hunt hard and give us a really good opportunity at a great hunt. Wife will be going into 2020 with 13 points in Wyoming...

    Wyoming Sage Grouse mixed with Pronghorn?

    Hey all, Wife has a BUNCH of points for Pronghorn in Wyoming. She'll be at 12 for next year, and I'll be at 4 for a combined 8 if we decide to hunt both on the same year. Thinking that next year is the year for sure that we'll do a hunt, but on my radar as well is trying to find a decent day...

    Selecting a "Premium" Unit for 11 PP

    Hey All, Starting to do a bit of research into drawing down in Wyoming on 11 Preference points as a Non-resident. My wife has 11 points and shot her first buck this year (a great 76" Alberta buck). We think that with her current points the best strategy is likely to draw her in a 'premium'...

    Wyoming Points Options (Blended vs Non)

    Hey Guys, Been doing a bit of thinking after our hunt in Alberta last week, about when and how to plan my next trip to Wyoming for pronghorn. I hunted Unit 67 a few years back (3 years I believe). We had a good hunt and I shot a good heavy buck (not very tall but scored mid 70's). It was a...

    Alberta Pronghorn hunt with Wife and Dad

    Figured this was worth sitting down and typing out a bit of a story to share the experience we had this past week with my wife and my Dad. We lived in Alberta for several years and recently in the past 5 years moved to BC to hunt some more mountain game. We continued to build priority points...

    FS/FT: Kifaru Timberline 1 - Foilage

    I have two Kifaru packs and one that is hardly used sitting on a shelf. I've decided its time to sell it and use the funds to put towards a different project or backpacking gear. Heres what I've got. Kifaru Timberline 1 - Foilage This is NOT a Duplex model, standard Timberline so frame does...

    My Wyoming Pronghorn Trip

    Hey Guys, Just got home last night from a week down in Wyoming chasing Pronghorns. What a blast. I've been building points for a handful of years now with a friend and his family. We went down with a group of 5 of us and looked at literally hundreds and hundreds of bucks. Every day we passed on...

    Riverton Wyoming Motel options

    Hey Guys, Any personal recommendations on a decent motel in Riverton, Wyoming for an upcoming antelope trip? Would be great if it had a kitchenette, though that seems unlikely at this time from research, etc. I'd like to be able to back up near the door if possible to do some cooking on a BBQ...

    Best map suggestions for Wyoming antelope hunt

    Hey Guys, I drew area 67 and am in the middle of doing as much research, etc that I can do. Looking online, I'm thinking that the MyTopo map of Area 67 that shows BLM, etc is one of the better options for maps of the area. Have people used them very much? Thoughts? Are there better options...

    My BC Mountain Grizz Hunt

    Hey All, Been a while since I posted here but was browsing some grizz stuff the other day and thought I'd share pics of my first ever grizz! Shot him on the 21st of May in Northern BC. Ruger M77 338WM with 210gr TSX did the trick! Heres a link to the story and a few other pics Rackmastr's...

    Wife's Bighorn home from the taxidermist

    Hey Guys, Went out and picked up Kim's Alberta ram from last November. I ended up watching Dave do all the work on this ram from start to finish and helped out with the alteration to make the neck turn a bit more than the standard form. I think it turned out great with the slight turn and I...
