How long is too long in the cooler for a Pronghorn?
From the regs: "In hunt areas where the taking of any big game animal is restricted to a specific sex of animal by regulation, either the visible external sex organs, head or antlers shall accompany the carcass, or edible portions thereof." Proof of sex doesn't have to remain attached, just... -

Lead fragments in hunter harvested deer
It's beyond messed up that you can't order ammo online. I feel for you on that. But, those of us that haven't been forced to use non-lead generally don't experience the same overwhelming negatives reported from the good folks of CA. I'm glad that I have a choice but I will still choose...- Power54

Lead fragments in hunter harvested deer
This paper wasn't upper midwest specific but includes many birds recovered in the upper midwest. https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/70134826 Work done by UM supports your idea that small game/upland birds also may be a source. They also say gutpiles are likely the primary source...- Power54

Lead fragments in hunter harvested deer
It's probably because people are still using lead and a great example of why mandates are BS. Like Chris and Leland said on the podcast, education is the answer. If people decide to switch on their own, it's best for everyone (and for the birds).- Power54

Lead fragments in hunter harvested deer
I've been shooting non-lead since 2005 and I'm not going back. The monolithics shoot perfectly well in all of my rifles and copper fouling is a non-issue since it's so easy to deal with. No lead, no worries.- Power54

Wyoming Wilderness Question
Your best bet is to call the game warden in the area you will be hunting and ask him/her. https://wgfd.wyo.gov/Law-Enforcement/Field-Personnel-Contact-Info/Warden-contact-info -

Swarovski repair service
That's a crappy situation all around. The one time I sent my swaros in, customer service was great. They aren't as fast as some of the others but the issue with my binoculars was the result of an over-greased O-ring and they fixed it free of charge. Depending on how much you spent on them in... -

New Wyoming antler restrictions
APRs alone really don't work and that is well documented. I can only assume WYGF is implementing APRs based on the same justification for not allowing NRs to hunt in designated wilderness... -

Steven Rinella and Rob Bishop
I'm sure it will be better than Cam Hanes with Jason Chaffetz but I hope Rinella respectfully holds his feet to the fire.- Power54

School/Mass shootings what's the answer?
As the husband of an overpaid school teacher, I couldn't agree more. One of the Columbine shooters exchanged shots with a school resource officer within 5 minutes of the first shot ringing out. The officer was outgunned and didn't make a lick of difference. I realize most officers now have...- Power54

WY unit 65 or 75
You'll be able to find what you're looking for in either unit. I'd probably pick 65 because I like the area around Lander a bit more plus there are fewer tags available in 65. -

Wyoming Grizzly's?
Very low to no concern needed in those 2 units. I'd still pick up some bear spray but I'm personally never without. Better to have it and not need it. -

What is a durable hunting pant? (and KUIU attack pant review)
I'm on my 4th season with my attack pants and I haven't had any issues outside of normal wear and tear. I was planning on replacing with the same when the time comes. Hopefully the quality didn't go down.- Power54

Anybody use Maven optics?
I just tried out a friends B1 10x's for a few days of elk hunting and they're a great binocular. I have EL's and while they are definitely a step down from that, I was impressed by the B1. I would get a pair through the demo program and see what you think. -

Grizzly charge = lessons learned
I worked for the Forest Service in Alaska and carried bear spray and typically a .375 H&H. Now that I live in Wyoming's griz country, I usually carry a .44 and bear spray while bow hunting. I always have and always will reach for the bear spray first but I like having the backup, especially if... -

Wyoming County Roads
OnX isn't directly helpful for figuring out road ownership but it's invaluable to find places where public land crosses roads and give you the peace of mind to know you're not trespassing. I typically use they WYGF Hunt Planner map, OnX and/or a gazateer to ID a handful of places where public... -

Wyoming County Roads
That map is dated August 24, 2017 so I'd trust it for county roads. Make sure to have a copy on you for multiple reasons. Untangling public road access can be tough until you're on the ground but you're off to a good start. And like wytex said, landowners post no trespassing signs along...
