    AZ UNIT 7E ARCHERY-water question

    What advantage does a flatline map have over OnX maps? Yes we were planning on hunting the wilderness, but if there are cows in the flats, that would be cool too and certainly less physically taxing. And yes, I have been hunting long enough to know success is getting home without injuries and...

    AZ UNIT 7E ARCHERY-water question

    Thanks for info. Yes, any elk is a trophy for a couple of gals with sticks and strings. Scariest thing I guess is lightening for me.

    AZ UNIT 7E ARCHERY-water question

    My fellow huntress friend and I drew archery cow tags for 7E. It will be my first time hunting the area, first elk hunt in AZ, and my friend’s first elk hunt ever. I have a couple of questions. I am going to scout lots in the next three months. Our hunt is the last two weeks of September...

    CO Bighorn unit 21 Ewe hunt

    Can anyone help me out? I have a ewe tag, and this will be my one and only chance to hunt Bighorn sheep in my life. My tag is for the western half of unit 21. I got conflicting information from the biologist and the division wildlife officer. They sent me to opposite ends of the unit. Where...

    New women's gear

    About four or five years ago, I contacted Sitka about creating a women's line. I was bluntly told it was too much trouble to get women's sizing figured out and they had no plans to add a women's line. I was thinking to myself-there are short guys, tall guys, skinny guys, short torso well...

    Question for the Ladies

    My daughter is 4'9, 90lbs, and shoots a .270 Tikka T3 lite with a reduced recoil load. Several ammo makers have reduced recoid loads. Also, make sure you have a good recoil pad like a limbsaver, and good hearing protection. Using a bipod and having the length of pull right for her size is...

    Women's Hunting packs

    I use a Kelty Redcloud (not made anymore) women's pack for meat. For daypack, I absolutely love my Tenzing 1250 Lumbar pack. My Tenzing has some long straps hanging around from adjusting it for my fit, but I love how practical it is for me. I ended up carrying a quartered out mule deer doe on...

    Wyoming Antelope Public Land. Hunting

    Look at the amount of WIA and HMA land there is in different counties. If it is pieces of 400-600 acres, forget it. Look for public access land upwards of 2000 acres. You can also look up the state trust land on a website and it will show you what state land is inaccessible...and see how much...

    Wyoming antelope unit 32

    There is good public access but they issued less than 30 any antelope tags and less than 30 antelope doe tags. Took 4 preference points for type 1. You probably need to look into another area. Hunting draw odds are here: https://wgfd.wyo.gov/Hunting/Drawing-Odds/2016-Drawing-Odds

    Randy Newberg, Hunter wants your ideas for future videos

    More map scouting info - and you can use a map from some other part of the world so we won't know where you hunt. But show how to eliminate areas and look for sanctuaries and such.

    Hunting Alone?

    That would be cool. Meateater-never gonna happen. Randy-maybe. Terrible double standard in the outdoor industry. Let's limit it to women hunting solo, unguided, on public land!!!

    Hunting cottontail during my Wyoming goat hunt

    Last year I splurged for the non resident small game license because it was cheaper than going to jail for popping the little buggers! I think I filled my limit every day I was antelope or deer hunting in WY. This year I have not seen hardly any because it has been so warm...dang it. Will have...

    Jack rabbit - Hank Shaw Recipe

    Oh, I have been wanting to make that recipe for years and cannot find a jack rabbit or snowshoe hare to save my life! Glad it was a good as his recipe looked. I saw a tv show where he fixed it al fresco right after his hunt. Had my mouth watering. It is amazing what I put my poor FJ through...
