    fake news, but ok. JFYI I've never actually laid eyes on an elk in Yellowstone ;)

    If you could hunt region G or H in the Gros Ventre wilderness

    I've believe that for deer for sure! But.. not why I'm considering the Gros Ventre for him. As far as elk I don't know that I agree after living near Cody. Some pretty solid elk living deep in the wilderness.

    If you could hunt region G or H in the Gros Ventre wilderness

    Starting the plan for a deer hunt with my son who is a NR. Last year was my first year as a WY res and I had a type 9 elk tag so I didn't get to hunt the general deer season down south. Ended up hunting the general up here around Cody. He has enough NR points to draw G or H so I'm trying to...

    Wyoming unit 71

    Not sure what in the area means, but the units directly bordering the park both down there and up here are a different animal compared to just in grizz country. All the park bordering units are the wildest places in the lower 48. Yes, you can hunt the fringes and probbaly get away without horses...

    And just in case you did not know this. This was in the same area https://buckrail.com/death-of-mark-uptain-by-grizzly-what-we-now-know/

    Wyoming unit 71

    JFYI there is a reason it has such an early rifle opener. It's serious WY wilderness with as many Grizz and you can handle. As said you have to be hunting with a resident guide in there and you'll need horses unless you just hunt the fringes. I would be thinking more about if you're up for the...

    Idaho Nonresident Draw!

    $185 is still better than a plane ticket, car, hotel to ensure you could get in line at some random grocery store early enough to get a tag in the 1st 15 mins before they are gone. Or take a day off work to sit in some jacked up online queue for 6 hrs only to find out the tags sold before you...

    What’s your opinion..WY deer

    I hunted 141 last year. It's a very different hunt than the other two. I did shoot a 170ish deer, but saw very few deer as the migration had not really started. He was as high as I could hunt. If you're willing to hunt late and get some luck with the weather it can be good. Now as a WY resident...

    Colorado Split Draw Starting 2028

    My son drew a NR AZ Unit 1 archery tag as a teenager with a few points and then a great NM tag the next year :) His entire hunting career is forever ruined 🤣 His perspective is so screwed!

    Wyoming west general 2024 LATE planning

    I'd look a little higher with this weather. I saw lots of bulls last week and most were 8500' ish.

    WY Area 48 Type 6

    Do they allow any bull hunting? I'm sure it would be more than those prices if so.

    Colorado unit 49

    As has been said, don't expect CO 49 to resemble anything like NM 36. IF that was your first elk hunting experience you're in for a sad reality when now hunting other places. That part of NM is loaded with elk. It's probably the easiest place to shoot a bull that I have ever hunted and I have...

    What Makes A Fire More Beneficial Than Destructive?

    Fires are good for the forest and the wildlife. They are only bad for humans. "Redwood trees & many other species need fire to survive and propagate. They need fire to release seeds from their cones, to expose bare mineral soil in which seedlings can take root, to recycle nutrients into the...

    How to work a lazy bull

    Use your eyes and ears more than your calls and you'll kill more bulls. Calls are one effective tool of many, but if you never have to use them and bulls never know you're there you'll increase your success 10X.

    Montana HD 455 - Beartooth WMA

    I have a bunch of mt bikes, but just for hunting I really like the fat bikes now. The one in the 1st pic I posted is what I use for hunting now. It has 4.8" tires and is a hard tail and hard fork. You get plenty of suspension from the tires for hunting purposes and pulls a trailer better than a...

    Montana HD 455 - Beartooth WMA

    I have used them a lot over the years, but I am also an avid Mt Biker. They are one more thing to break down, so you better have a plan if it does.

    Montana HD 455 - Beartooth WMA

    Correct, no motor vehicles. And you can not camp in the WMA other than the one designated spot. It is not a day hunt on foot area. You will spend too much time and energy just trying to get back to the elk and then hours walking out.

    Montana HD 455 - Beartooth WMA

    455 is not really a unit you can effectively hunt on foot, especially during the archery season. You're looking at many miles just to get back where the elk will start then you have to hunt UP from there. Can be done on a bike to at least get back to where you can start hunting, but trust me...
