    Wyoming unit 7 success

    Thank you all who have responded so positively. Thank you also to Randy and everyone who has not only created but contributed to this forum. The knowledge base here was definitely a factor in my success in planning and executing this trip.

    Wyoming unit 7 success

    Heck if I know....It was my 1st time ever in Wyoming and/or chasing antelope so I have no frame of reference. For our part, we saw enough targets to pursue, but both agreed that the decrease to 250 tags from 1000+ definitely helped keep the opportunity/pressure ratio at a comfortable level...

    Great work. Glad you got a bit of your upland fix as well.

    Wyoming unit 7 success

    Part 2… With my buck quartered, packed-out and on ice, we broke camp and hit the road to look for my dad’s buck. We marked a few prospects either deep into public, or on private adjacent lands thinking it would give us a start for the following morning, but around 5 we came to a pair of bucks...

    Wyoming unit 7 success

    I didn't want to muck up the other thread re: unit 7, so here we are. This was the first and quite possibly last western big-game hunt I've ever taken with my father, so we went in fully prepared to fill our "Any antelope" tags with any legal antelope. We'd also only ever seen less than a dozen...

    Unit 7 upland combo hunt

    Once again, good luck to the other area 7 hunters here as well as all the other tag holders. Hopefully with the reduction in tags we've got some elbow room out there. It's just about go-time. Long drive from Pennsylvania coming forme soon.

    Window cleaner for gun cleaner?!

    The ammonia counteracts the corrosive salts found in some milsurp ammo with mercury-compounded primers.

    Looking for CZ 557 Left Hand

    My local shop may still be holding a few. They had 2 wood-stocked rifles in, I believe, .308 and .30-06. Bear's Gun room Wyoming, Pa

    What Old/Odd Chamberings Have You Actually Used To Kill Big Game Animals ?

    I killed a few whitetail doe with an old Mosin Nagant M44 in 7.62x54r with 200gr soft points. It did the job well enough that I didn't ever need to deploy the bayonet.

    Unit 7 upland combo hunt

    Tell me about it. I've got applications in for area 7 as well for my dad and I. Supposed to be our first and likely our last chance to hunt big game out west together. Good luck to all awaiting the draw results.

    New barrel from Bison Gun Works

    Are you feeding from the original mag box and follower? With the side bolt release, I assume this is an older stagger feed model.

    A Tale of Two Friction Knots: Taut Line vs. Blake’s Hitch

    Always good to keep some knots, bends, and hitches in the memory hole. For my money, I prefer the Adjustable Grip Hitch to the tautline. I use it exclusively on guyouts and ridgelines for hammocking and tarp use.

    Any Pudelpointer guys here?

    Owner of a 4 year old Pudelpointer here. Only gundog I've ever had but I'm sold on the breed. Great family dog, goofy as hell sometimes, mischevious when bored, hunts hard and can be chill at home. I've done what any self respecting dog handler would call pathetic for formal training, but his...

    Getting Permission

    Great post. I am an eastern hunter that joined this forum as a resource for researching my out-west hunts, including a trip to Wyoming for pronghorn in 2021 or 22. Thank you for sharing this info with everyone.
