    Anyone hunt the areas between the Bighorns and Yellowstone last few years?

    73 would my pick then, it is a good sized unit with plenty of public land. Go early and scout for at least a couple of days. Get to know the unit a little bit and pick out a nice buck and a couple of back ups. My strategy was to start on the west side of the unit and work my way east. I killed...

    I have hunted the southeast end of the Bighorn range, units 20, 21 and 73, of those 73 was easily the best area, 20 was the least crowded with fewest animals seen. How many points do you have?

    Planning My First Antelope Hunt

    I have done several DIY pronghorn hunts in Wyoming, the units I liked to hunt used to have left over tags, now they are taking 7+ points to draw. My next pronghorn hunt will be with an outfitter. To me, decent optics are a requirement, with tags so hard to get now I look over a lot of bucks...

    New guy from Missouri

    I had a bruiser on my trail camera a few years ago and we had one visit our deer camp and bang around one night. They are not common though, I have seen a few over the years but I didn't even apply for the tag this year.

    Dream build - Custom Kimber 6x45

    My 6x45 is an XP100 pistol, I was just shooting it today. I have a slow twist barrel so the heaviest bullet I have had any luck with so far is the Sierra 80 grain Blitz hopefully I get to try it on a deer next weekend.

    A little late to the party here but I live in the little hamlet of Viburnum kind of between St. Louis and Springfield . I would be interested in getting together possibly.

    The future of NR hunting in Wyoming

    I'm sitting on 9 elk points in Wyoming, not sure what I'm going to do at this point. I have 3 antelope points but my honey hole was ruined by the GPS chip, not a lot of public access but before the hunting gps maps (now OnX hunt) came out I was able to draw it as a 3rd. choice now it takes 8 or...

    Cabela's new price matching effort seems like an attempt to stay relevant-especially for club card holders..

    No impact on mine either, or at least not yet.

    Cabela's new price matching effort seems like an attempt to stay relevant-especially for club card holders..

    I cancelled my club card the other day, actually they cancelled it for me because I hadn't used it in 2 years. I think I had like $23.00 in points, no offer of a gift card. I figured the bass pro acquisition would ruin a fine company and IMHO it did exactly that.

Lately I've been trying to consolidate things and get everything into one safe, it's...
