    Custom Moose Calls

    Hands and stick! Moose have incredible hearing. If you think about it a bull moose's antlers act as a funnel for sound to their large ears. Cup your hands! Also, use a stick to whack trees and rub branches. Both of those combined can be heard for around a mile and will seal the deal!

    Crispi vs…

    I didn't read all the posts but a lot depends upon your particular feet. In particular if you have wide vs narrow feet. I have around 5 or 6 different Crispi models and some are narrower than others. I prefere more volume and the EE width. Some of the Crispis with leather may shrink with...

    Wyoming Antelope Draw

    My guess is that guys with a gob of pts may sit out and wait for numbers and quality to improve but the guys immediately behind them will be applying in full force. Similar to elk I doubt if draw odds will change a whole lot. There are a gob of nonres hunters applying for a lot fewer tags...

    Mule Deer and Water (E-Scouting)

    There are a lot of factors. Date of hunt, weather conditions, hunting pressure, elevation, type of terrain, food sources, etc. It's hard to say much without knowing more about the details.

    Holy Cross Wilderness, Colorado?

    Thanks for the info. I’m aware of the harvest reports. That unit just opened so there isn’t much data available. I’ve spent months in other goat units but this area is fairly new to me. You are right that goats hang out along trails with hikers. There is a 14er in the unit so likely has quite...

    Holy Cross Wilderness, Colorado?

    I thought I would toss this out there to see if anyone has any experience hiking or hunting in the Holy Cross Wilderness in Colorado? My son drew a mtn goat tag this year. I've spent a little time in the area but not recently. I'm just trying to pin down a few areas to start looking. You are...

    CO earlier and later seasons

    You would be amazed at how quickly hair grows from the 1st through later season dates. Nannies get rid of their scraggly previous year's hair the longest into the fall while mature billies are the first to shed and grow long hair in the fall. If you want nice hair I would definitely advise a...

    Fort Collins vs Southern WY

    My guess is they have areas to park a trailer in Cheyenne out of most of the howling wind. My son just starting out of college bought a nice house in Greeley that was a chunk cheaper than west of I25. If you like small towns there are several along Hwy 85 such as Eaton that would be nice family...

    Fort Collins vs Southern WY

    I lived in Buffalo for 2 years and it was a major chunk better than Cheyenne all the way around.

    Best bino magnification range for mule deer

    I constantly go back and forth between my 10x 42 and Swarovski spotter. If you have the $ you would be impressed with Leica 10x42 rangefinder combo. It’s definitely worth the investment. You can spot a buck and have it ranged in a matter of seconds. Also don’t have to worry about haulage an...

    Kifaru Fulcrum, or Dall, or Exo K4 7200 for 35-day self-sustained expedition.

    You must be almost super-human packing 100+ lbs 250 miles even in flat terrain for 1 solid month!

    Fort Collins vs Southern WY

    I grew up in Wyo and have lived in Colo the past 30ish years. The one thing I hated more than anything in Wyo was the constant wind. It's pretty hard to get used to even after living there for over 20 years. The weather in the Fort Collins area is about as good as it gets anywhere! The only...

    Mule Deer on the Edge

    Great podcast! It is exciting that the word is finally getting out about the impacts cheatgrass has on native species, species diversity, wildfires, and the health and productivity of wildlife! Great job guys! One thing I would like to add is how resilient and quickly native species respond...

    Wyoming draft regulations 2024

    I say put the rifle season during time of year when it's the toughest to harvest older age class bucks and if it snows there is tough access. The rifle deer season could also be after the rifle elk season date starts. Mature bucks are a lot tougher to find once they've seen and heard elk...

    Hilleberg Nallo 2 GT VS Anjan 2 GT - Questions

    I would caution with using the Helag and Anjan with just the fly except in favorable conditions. I can pretty much guarantee it will get wet inside with wind and snow/rain. The fly doesn't hit the ground! I usually bring super light painter's plastic to keep dirt and water off my gear even...

    Hilleberg Nallo 2 GT VS Anjan 2 GT - Questions

    I have the 3 person nallo 3 gt. It’s really nice having the extra space and large vestibule. It doesn’t have the ventilation of the 2 door Kaitum. If you go Kaitum you may notice the difference in total wt between the regular and gt. The gt is 2 lbs more. The vestibule is 1/2 the size of...

    Wyoming type 1 vs type 2

    There are a lot of considerations between type 1 and 2. As mentioned above, some type 2 have different limitations not only with season dates but locations open to hunting. First, a chunk of the larger bucks obviously have been cherry picked and shot. If a unit has a lot of tags plus private...
