    Random Gun Blasphemy

    This will probably get me tarred and feathered, but here goes. All opinions my own only. The thought process is more important than the exact answer. IMO, the type of rifle and the caliber makes almost no difference to whether it will kill elk or shoot accurately for hunting purposes...

    Wyoming Antelope - Eastmans and Scotch Tape

    Trying to select an antelope unit in Wyoming, and using Eastmans to sort through the possibilities. With 3 points I am not going to get a great unit, but would like to use public land and avoid the crowds (dream on). Trophy quality is irrelevant. The MRS tables in my digital Eastmans look...

    Cow Moose in the Snowies - Still looking

    I realized that I was going to be using a walker to get around before I drew a bull moose tag. So I cashed in my 5 preference points for a cow tag in Wyoming Area 38/41 (Snowy Mountains). I hunted the second week of October. While I saw droppings, had only one sighting, at about 500 yards...

    Ham Radio in Wyoming and Montana

    Is anyone else using 2m ham radio for backcountry communication - either regular or emergency - in Wyoming or Montana? I plan to hunt in the Snowies and South of Casper this year, and in the Custer NF near Ashland in MT. Both Laramie and Casper have repeaters, but so far I have not been...

    Saving Maps onto Android Tablet

    I recently bought an android tablet, have installed the Onxmaps app, and am planning on using it hunting this year. It has a 7" screen, which to my old eyes is way better than the screen on my GPSMAP. I have not decided if I will leave the tablet in the truck or haul it around while hunting...

    Disposal of Federal Lands

    http://www.wsj.com/articles/billionaire-businessmen-buying-up-mega-ranches-1414076608 Well, the demand for land is definitely there. At these prices, people may get a little creative about how they acquire it.

    Two Wyoming Regulations Questions

    I have two questions about Wyoming regulations - the answers to both are probably in the regulations and old HT threads, but I can't find them. My brother, nephew and I have drawn Wyoming cow elk tags. The nephew will not be able to make it due to school. Is it possible to hand the license...

    Fresh Tracks DVDs

    Time for my annual request for this season's DVDs. The WY and CO elk hunts on the Elk DVD were great - I would like to see the rest of the season. I know that there are plenty of other issues to keep Mr and Mrs Fin busy, but those of us without cable (and I am sure lots of others) appreciate...

    This is Great - Fresh Tracks DVDs

    I finally got to my Fresh Tracks DVD this week - we were in Colorado when they shipped. I have been watching one episode a day - just finished the first DVD. I hate waiting almost a year from the hunt until I get to watch it, but really like the new show. These are real adventures - not some...

    Outdoor Shows

    I have been attending the RMEF convention for the last few years – a good cause, and they have a good mix of seminars (including Randy), equipment companies, and state game and fish departments. Plus, I have to confess, outfitters. As far as I can tell, there is no RMEF show this year. Any...

    Alaknak Waterproofing

    I have a 7-year old Alaknak 9 x 9, and when I used it this year found that the coating was starting to flake off the inside of the fabric. I did not get any real rain while out in the field, so leaks were not an issue, but I can see it coming. Has anyone tried to recoat an Alaknak? Other than...

    Sometimes you get what you need, not what you want

    I think I take the prize for the smallest elk this season. This was the first time I had hunted elk in Wyoming, and the combination of being on my own, way back on a 2-track, and a forecast for a foot of snow had me pretty nervous. On the evening of the second day I was watching a clearing...

    Is Hunting Allowed on BLM Grazing Leases

    I get a newsletter called Wyoming Wildlife News, from Wy G&F. An article mentioned that hunting is not allowed on BLM land leased for grazing. I have hunted mostly USFS rather than BLM land in the past, but have not run across this before. Is this common?

    Missing the Point on Shootings

    The Connecticut shootings were obviously a horrific act, but IMO as a nation we are missing the point. How many murders did this character watch on TV or simulate on video games? There is too much money involved here, and the money is being made by the same media that to a large extent shape...

    Season 4 DVD

    When can we expect to see the DVDs for season 4? As one of the minority without cable, I am looking forward to being able to see the new episodes. Thanks.

    HR 4089 - Rat in Wolf's Clothing?

    I received the following from Backcountry Hunters and Anglers: Dear BHA Member, You may know that the U.S. House of Representatives is expected to vote on H.R. 4089, the Sportsmen’s Heritage Act, this week. As a sportsmen’s conservation organization, we felt compelled to comment. While we...

    Colorado 3rd vs 4th Season

    I expect that this has already been discussed, but I have been unable to find it. I am trying to decide whether to put in for Colorado 3rd or 4th rifle season. I have a chance at drawing more units in the 3rd season, but 4th is closer to the rut. Can anyone share experience in hunting both...
