What types of birds are you looking for?
I lived in Cheyenne for a few years and didn’t think the pheasant hunting was that good in Wyoming. I hunted up towards Casper (Glendo area). I don’t think it was worth the effort.
However, just south there was a ton of area in Colorado that was...
I have a lightly used Vortex Venom Red Dot with the 3 MOA dot for sale. I had it on my turkey gun last year and want to switch to an Aimpoint. Works perfect!

I have seen no trespassing signs on gates crossing numerous country roads in Wyoming. Many times it is ment to indicate the property “on the sides of the roads”. It was really daunting when I first moved there.
What I did…I checked land ownership every year and then went in my way. If I had...
I believe it’s a combo of the bad winter (a couple years ago) and not prioritizing deer. The Game Warden told me they focus on the elk. It really is awesome deer country and there should be a lot more deer.
I really think they should do a special management type hunt for elk. I saw a lot...
I ended up eating tag soup but had a great time.
A few take away and a few more pics…
I was really shocked at how many elk I saw. They were literally in every canyon I looked into in 61.
I watched several herds move across the devide road and walk into 62. If I had the muzzleloader bull tag...
Just a spoiler to kill the suspense. I didn’t see the buck again and never saw the bear.
Two and a half days of glassing and waiting. There was some fun…
This doe fed to within 8 feet of me while I was waiting for the bear.
Several times I had deer come close but not the big buck or the...
I repeated the day for the next two and a half days. I would glass early for the buck then move to a spot about 250 yards away from the kill.
I visited the kill the first night to lock down the location and things looked awesome.
Clearly a bear had already been to the kill. And it was big...
We were packed and out by 12:00. The elk was perfect and we didn’t loose any meat.
My friend and his son had to leave that day so I was solo for the rest of the week. I was extremely hopeful for the big bear to show up on the kill. The bear and the buck were my only focus for 2 1/2 days...
We dropped down the canyon to find the cow. We didn’t want to push the buck and hoped we might get another chance at him. The picture does not do him real justice but he was absolutely huge and I would guess north of 190. His fronts were even better than his backs.
Dropping about 600 vertical...
OK…when they arrived at the cabin I asked if they got a shot at an elk? They were all smiles and said they had actually gotten two shots. They explained that his son got two shots at the same elk. They said he got a 40 yard shot and clearly hit a cow. It moved off about 25 yards and was just...
We had to head out for Christian to catch his flight when Karma stopped by…we ran into the “only” game warden on the unit. I gave him pictures of the ATV registration, the Owner and the Pin location of the quad. He was calling the forest service as we drove away to ticket the owner.
The next morning we were set for deer and elk on the opening morning ridge. As we moved down the trail, there were no deer and no sounds of elk. It was a 6-8 inch wide trail. In scrub oak.
We hiked about 1/2 mile and found this:
This was clearly on a marked closed road. This idiot drove...
That night we decided to go to a completely different location. We parked the car and could smell a dead animal. It took us a minute but we eventually found a dead moo cow. There was bear crap all over the place. The carcass was picked almost completely clean but it was clear there were a...
