    Wyoming elk newbie without motivation question

    I will say it was neat tracking the two elk like I did. As I followed the tracks I saw where it looked like one had pissed as it walked. Noticed where they had ducked under a fallen tree to cross a creek that they left hair on one of the broken branches that were sticking down. I was making...

    Wyoming elk newbie without motivation question

    I did go out. Did not see anything through all of bow season. Saw two elk about a 1000yds away during rifle. Stalked them for a couple miles until they went onto private. Never heard a single one. Starting to wonder if I am not calling enough. Or, just hanging out in an area too long when I...

    Guided Hunt vs. DIY

    I can agree with you. I am just going off what I have personally seen and experienced. The only time I would use an outfitter is if I am out of country or grizzly country. Specifically for safety reasons only. Outside of that. Dont want anything to do with them. .

    Guided Hunt vs. DIY

    I talked to a buddy that went on a guided rifle hunt years ago and he said it was mixed for him. The guides took him directly to where the elk were and he shot one. He loved the fact that he shot one, but he also missed the "hunting" aspect of it. He said he was with a few guys and it was like...

    Did you all know that you can sign up for Amazon Smile and a percentage of your purchases will go to a charity of your choice? Of course my charity is BHA. Been doing it for a few years now.

    Deer - lets see em

    I saw these guys about 12 years years ago. Both alive, but exhausted. I called the landowner and he tranquilized them. We then cut them apart. Few years later I saw the landowner in town and he said his grandson got one of them.

    Wyoming elk newbie without motivation question

    I tried to draw a tag and it didn't draw. Gonna try again next year. I heard on the radio that the drought has thinned the herds, so the amount of tags given out was less.

    Wyoming elk newbie without motivation question

    No, I tried for Antelope. But no luck. I need to try Mulies but I heard they taste like dog s**t. I have taken plenty of whitetail.

    Wyoming elk newbie without motivation question

    So this is the third year of elk hunting for me. I just made up my mind yesterday to go this year but still lacking motivation. The first year I went hunting I was all hyped up to go. Then I was struck with emergency throat surgery a few days before my trip. But I went and hunted anyway on a...

    Poacher caught

    Back in Kansas some wealthy individuals were caught poaching after a couple year investigation. These guys took out tons of deer. I think they got prison time over it. Best part, friends of theirs said it was unfair treatment for a couple guys helping to get rid of a local nuisance. People like...

    Last Minute Bow- Tuning and Relief

    A couple years ago I had to get rid of my Pearson bushmaster compound that I bought nearly 20 years ago because the limbs were starting to delaminate. I took a bunch of deer with that thing and could group arrows like yours. Now, I have a Diamond Edge SB-1 bow and cant for the life of me get...

    Wyoming moose

    Really? This year I have hardly seen any. There were two big ones that used to hang out next to the road all the time. But I have not seen them this year. I actually watched them fight 2 years ago a couple miles from Ryan Park. Watched them for about 10 minutes until a great white hunter came...

    Grouse during Elk season question

    Last year was the first year I ever took grouse while hunting. I used my bow and quickly realize that my two arrows cost way more than a couple birds should cost. LOL. I have been thinking real hard about using a blow gun this year.

    WY Gen deer Rifle Pressure during Elk Archery

    LOL! I have never seen this before either. I sat up high on a mountain looking down at a main road and watched people driving up and down the roads in their ATV's. They would stop, shut the engine off, make a few calls, listen, then drive down the road and repeat.
