    Is WY DIY a true proposition?

    My group has hunted antelope 6 out of the last 8 years. We decided hunting antelope is more fun than not, so we have chosen to hunt low point units. Antelope might be "easier" then other hunts, but don't forget it is still hunting...We've had two years where our group didn't tag out(mostly from...

    Central Idaho ramble....what did I do wrong?

    I'd guess the warm weather had something to do with it. My group just got back from that general area elk hunting and we couldn't get out of the deer. Actually had them mess up a few of our elk hunts. The weather turned the day after dear season, and everything we saw was still 8500 feet and...

    longest antelope pack out?

    3.6 miles for mine, then 6.4 miles for my buddies two days later. We get caught up on what's over the next ridge....

    Eastern Washington Cows?

    Washington doesn't have a true landowner tag program, they only give out depreciation tags and I believe they have to apply for them.

    162 copper impact

    I believe there's four different factory loads available for the 6.8 western right now. There's a 165 gr accubond long range, a 170 gr ballistic Silvertip, a 175 gr game king, and the 160 gr copper extreme. Out of all those the copper extreme would probably be my last choice, but with that...

    What caliber should my next elk rifle be?

    I'm putting together a 6.8 western build right now. Pretty similar to this. I'm going with a Mack Brother's action, OMR 26" barrel, AG chalk branch stock, trigger tech, and Hawkins bottom metal. I'll be using it for elk. Just waiting on the action and I'll get it put together. This is my first...

    New arrows

    I say go with the TKO's. I did a few years back and love them.

    Washington Elk

    I've lived and hunted Washington my whole life. I could not in good conscience tell you to come here and hunt elk. It's not that we don't have any, it's just not very good. The state is split into eastern Washington and western Washington and you have to declare a "side" for elk. Western...

    Cartridge Choice

    I'll second the .257 Weatherby... I've taken all my antelope and all but one of my deer with it. By far my favorite gun.

    Wyoming Unit 22- trespass fee or guided wanted

    Our group hunted 22 in 2018 and had a rancher offer us a trespass hunt for what I thought was really reasonable. I don't remember the guys name, but I do know the name of the ranch. Not sure he'd be happy with his info put out on the internet, and I can't DM yet. If you can think of a...
