    3rd season rifle newb

    A buddy and I hunted a unit last year that was +80% for third season. Definitely want to get an idea of what those lines on a topo translate to in the field as we found out! It was a tough hunt and we only turned up one good buck but with a four wheeler it would have opened up our options...

    Camping in Central WY

    We did it in 2017 on our first trip. I think it was a Columbia 4 man tent. We tried pitching it immediately downwind of our vehicle on the downwind side of a small ridge and it still got pretty dang loud when the wind kicked up. The tent never failed but it was difficult to get a good nights...

    October Cow Elk Trespass Hunt

    My wife and I are planning a pronghorn hunt in central WY for October 2019 and I was wondering if there were any decent options for cow elk trespass hunts between Casper and the bighorn mountains. Really looking at the trespass option since we will be limited on time and will probably only have...

    Time for an Optics Upgrade. Help Needed!

    Definitely not set on new. I’m really liking the idea of finding a set of 10x42 slc for under $1,500 and saving the rest for a spotter when I can build up the rest...

    Time for an Optics Upgrade. Help Needed!

    Here is a little more info: I will probably be focusing on elk for the next couple of years with an antelope hunt or two through in (no real trophy antelope units) so it will probably be a few years before I get back to mule deer. With that being the case I’m thinking buy the best binos I can...

    Time for an Optics Upgrade. Help Needed!

    I’ve looked pretty hard at the Mavens but personally feel like I would end up going with swaros down the road just because they do have the reputation of being “the best” for most people. Depending on what comes up in the next six months I may have to look down a price point and the mavens sure...

    Time for an Optics Upgrade. Help Needed!

    From what I have been able to find the 12x50s are right around $2,900 day in and day out and based on searching the classifieds here used sets are few are far between. $2,900 is really more than I can justify right now so unless I can get lucky and find a nice used pair it will likely be either...

    Wyoming Unit 113

    I know I'm a little late commenting here but I also hunted this unit last year and the road referred to above as "Light Plant Road" doesn't go as far into the unit as it appears to on the GIS maps before it turns into a private road. We hunted the first week of the rifle season and besides the...

    2018 antelope help

    My dad and I went DIY this year for our first western trip (we live in Tennessee) and it was a blast. The unit we hunted was listed as limited public access but there was plenty of opportunity. I drew my buck tag with one point and we both drew two doe tags in the random type 6 draw. My dad has...

    New Vehicle

    I'm just going to chime in on the Nissan Xterra as I have a good friend who has run a couple over the last few years. For starters he absolutely loved both of them and could drive them anywhere you can take a vehicle. He never had mechanical issues with either rig. However, when he upgraded to...
