    So if things pop sooner does that just mean you got to find them high later?

    How will 75% Tag Allocation Affect Preference Points in CO?

    I mean that’s taking it into conspiracy theory territory. Sure blue states don’t care about quality hunting the way we would like, but back in the 90s, in a very red state, wildlife management was very much considering apex predator introductions as a benefit to ecosystems. Nothing to do with...

    How will 75% Tag Allocation Affect Preference Points in CO?

    If they’ll increase tag $ by raising prices, that gap is easy to fill. There’s nothing in Western big game hunting trends that shows that tag prices can’t absorb significant increases. The tag is rarely the most expensive part of a western game hunt for NRs. Guys roll in 80k trucks, 80k campers...

    Wyo Special Apps are down in #’s

    I read through the thread and figured out that either: I need to move West if I want cheap tags, but expect to take pay cuts and brutal winters. Except in CO where residents get screwed anyway but there’s decent jobs on the front range. Or complain that I need to pay 60% more for a better...

    Do mule deer eat this plant?

    Use that to get started on ID, but I have had issues with incorrect info. It’s a cool tool though to get in the ballpark.

    Excel spreadsheet for Hunt Apps

    Hey just wondering if anyone has a good template for tracking application strategy over the years by state/date of hunt. Just finding myself a little all over the place with my thoughts, and dates of upcoming hunts. Just looking for org ideas not the actual strategy. Thanks!

    Chasing Big Muleys and Mental Endurance

    As a newer mule deer hunter I’m finding that: 1. Honestly I’m a meat hunter. I need meat in the fridge which means decent elk tag later in season. That’s my goal this year. 2. I can’t imagine going blind to hunt and kill big deer. I love to scout and if I know they are there I’ll be willing to...

    Legalized robbery that needs to stop.

    Wish CPW could do basic math and understand supply/demand. Wyoming is figuring out what people are willing to pay for a tag.

    Cold Plunges?

    I was also wondering about this - i live where it would def stay frozen. Maybe even in my garage. I’ve been doing the river but that’s really f ing cold, and could use something in the yard. I tend to think cold plunge gets my core down more because of the immersion factor, shower (we have 40...

    Dropping pack to stalk...

    I drop my pack for the final archery deer stalks, you just can’t stalk big deer properly with a pack imho. I try to drop in a super obvious area like along an obvious travel route, or it can be sketch. I dropped one elk hunting next to a tree this year that I thought for sure I could...

    Field Dressing

    Truck close by, I’m gutting and hanging it. Then I can take my time on the meat. Backcountry is gutless all the way.

    Becoming Better hunters- a survey of prioritization

    It seems like the physical thing can help mitigate other limitations in knowledge and lack of prep. You can always get to a high glassing point or do an additional stalk. I’d love to find them in easier spots. With that said, it does wonders for my confidence being able to get around the...

    Sidearm or Not?

    Too much weight for non-grizzly country, and I like to fantasize about bashing a mountain lion’s head in with a rock.
