    Wyoming Archery 2023 - A Novel

    Thursday: Towards the end of our boondoggle the day before, Steve and Kris wanted to rent a cabin and sleep in a real bed, but I complained enough to convince them to spend the night on the mountain. “We’ll never hear a bugle in a cabin”. That might have been a mistake. At 12:30 the still night...

    Wyoming Archery 2023 - A Novel

    As we finish setting up camp Kris spots a grouse. Having been denied his prize earlier in the day he takes a shot and hits. The bird walks to within 3 feet of my tent and I deliver the killing shot. The grouse is cleaned and hung, after which we climb to get a look at the terrain we’ll target...

    Wyoming Archery 2023 - A Novel

    I know some on this site really enjoy a good write up. If that be your taste, and this qualifies, enjoy. This was written mostly for individuals who are not hunters so excuse some of the Captain Obvious moments. Friday: Left Waukesha around 6:45AM and got to Ogallala by 7ish. Checked into hotel...

    What to upgrade first: boots or backpack?

    While I agree, feet first, I don't think it's as black and white as most of these comments are making it. My first elk hunt was done entirely in a pair of $60 cabelas low hikers, but that was possible because they were comfortable, and gave zero issues to me personally. Sure I eventually saved...

    Thoughts on best Phelps call?

    I really like the sound of the Mav but it definitely takes some time to break in. Orange is great for easy cow calls and light bugles.

    Wisconsin DIY Rifle Builders

    Howdy, I was hoping to find some DIY rifle builders living in Wisconsin (preferably SE Wisco) who would be willing to bounce some build ideas off of and, ideally, be willing to possibly loan some build tools. While I wish I had the time and funds to warrant buying some of these fixtures, it's...

    2023 OFFICIAL ELK MEAT POLE THREAD

    Got on elk every day despite nothing talking during daylight hours. Rut activity was near zero, so I wasn’t going to let this whitetail sized cow pass 😆, even if the tag took 4 years to pull. The 30 yard frontal was a bit longer than I told myself I’d allow so a little more selfcontrol is in the...

    Non resident Archery elk

    You weren’t being annoying and that was why my intention was to be polite but realistic. This forum and it users can be very helpful if engaged a certain way. Knowing that is valuable. The fact of the matter is, it was not a simple question. A more accurate comparison than your...

    Wyoming Report From 10,000ft

    Curious what everyone else is seeing right now. We’re going on day 4 having been on good elk sign since day 2. There is one local herd bull with about 10 cows that is vocal for about 2 hours in the morning and that’s it. Only other bull talk is a little after dark. We’re seeing groups of 1-2...

    Non resident Archery elk

    Greetings, friend. You'll find that the users on this site are far more likely to offer assistance and advice when your post, first off, shows that you've put a decent amount of your own time into researching first, and then ask very specific questions where needed. The answers to the questions...

    New Record! Colorado elk…

    You can blame social media influencers and Onx maps all you want, but I blame it on this new infusion of fitness into the hunting game. A certain level of attrition is completely natural when it comes to hunter numbers; the old tap out and the young replace them. But all this next level research...
