I guess I would first like to reply to Topgun for the amazing insult. This used to be a website fore the average guy but is now being run by bullies like yourself. I never mentioned one word about money. I was asking about the draw system and how tags are issued. Mainly the complexity of the...
I have been reading through some of the recent posts about the Wyoming elk draw and I just don't understand why the states have gone to such a complicated draw system. I've seen several post their hestitance for western hunting due to the jacked up systems and I'm starting to agree. I thought I...
I just want to take a moment to thank all the members on this site. My buddy and I leave Monday for Wyoming elk in an area I've never been. This site has been amazing from the hunting aspect to the stove build. Thank you to all who opened up and helped a new guy. I'm from Illinois and please...
I bought a set of these a few months back. I bought the 3/4" bleeders and just couldn't get them to fly. I was also really disappointed in the durability as well. I actually had a bleeder come loose. I so wanted these to work but I'm just going to stick with Strikers.
Bushnell
I've been running trail cameras since 35mm were out. I've ran just about every brand out there. The first thing is to figure out your budget! The best camera on the market by far is the Reconyx. The problem is they are expensive. When being more realistic, look at the bushnell trophy...
Part of the reason is that I think a guy just gets attached to an area. I also like the flexibility of the lion season in Texas. With my luck I would book a hunt in a state with quotas just to have the season close the day before I left!
A few years back I hunted the Fort Davis Mountains in Texas with an outfitter in hopes of checking one off my bucket list: calling in a mountain lion at night. While there were no lion sightings I did fall in love with the area. It was as rugged as I've ever seen but still beautiful and...
I was one of the lucky ones and I drew a 2015 general tag for elk in Wyoming this fall. The unit I'm planning on hunting is in the southern portion of the state. In years past the unit opened on October 1. The proposed date for this fall has the opener on October 15. My question is where the rut...
Point creep
With all of these guys burning points, will this help with the point creep? It seems like this could help guys draw units with less points next year.
Lucky one
Well I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. I drew with two pp in the regular for a general tag. Looks like I will be heading to the Snowy's this fall. This will be my first DIY elk hunt in Wyoming so any help will be much appreciated.
Moving firewood
I know that several of you guys are mentioning bringing firewood and yes I have tons of good oak here. I thought it was illegal to transport firewood into most NF etc due to transmitting beetles and other diseases?
Accountability
I realize that I live in the most corrupt state in the US(Illinois), but please take stake in my comment. Several years ago we had an increase across the board in everything from deer tags to boating stickers. Most residents were actually in favor of this increase as it was...
