I got this Utah monster 6 or 7 years ago. Still my best animal to date. Not expecting anything besides general season archery deer, but there's always a chance something else can pop up!
Same here. Swing and a miss this year.
Oh well, it's a good way to ease into the disappointment New Mexico is getting ready to deliver to me shortly...
One of my favorite hunts of all time. Stunning views, crazy slopes, air so thin I wasn't sure I'd survive the hike, and a B&C ewe to end the trip (not really, but it was among the largest taken in Colorado that year). Funny thing is that I wasn't trophy hunting at all. She just so happened to be...
Same here.
I was pretty aggressive with the approach this year. If my calcs and projections are right, my odds of pulling at least one tag should be above 70% (most of that probability is for one low demand tag, but I digress...).
Any successful draw would be great, but I've really been...
THANK YOU for this write-up! It's bringing back so many memories from my ewe hunt across the river - the highs and lows of drawing and then being told they went over quota and might take the tag away, the roads, the gumbo, the sunrises, the views... good stuff!
I met a guy with a 482 tag (and...
Rookie numbers! I think I landed at more than $8k all by myself! It helps that I don't have to justify my decisions to a wife or anyone else (trying to enjoy that while it lasts...).
Good luck!
Regular here, in no man's land at 8 points and just hoping for a random draw in a good unit.
When I can buy a $200 general tag in my home state that gives me several months of elk hunting, my motivation to pay $2,000+ for a tag somewhere else is pretty close to 0. The only Wyoming tags I might...
The title pretty much says it all. To learn about my particular brand of stupidity, look no further than the story of my sheep hunt this year:

I won't claim to be a good hunter, but I love it, I work hard at it, and...
Here it is! I got it back just in time for Christmas.
Turns out, her teeth grew in a little funky on the right side. Kind of interesting.
Based on the condition of her teeth, my taxidermist thinks she was roughly 6 - 7 years old.
I smile every time I walk by it.
