    Close to Giving Up on Rifles

    I bought a Savage 110 Predator .22-250. This was during the height of Covid. It was one of the models that came with a factory mounted scope “ready to go”. The scope was a Vortex Crossfire which I knew I was just going to sell anyway, however, it was mounted with the rings clear up on the bells...

    FNG from WY

    Yes and no. Devils tower isn’t too far North, and definitely draws some people. Then right before , during, and after Sturgis we usually get quite an influx for a little while. In terms of hunting, it’s fairly easy to draw a deer tag here and so there are quite a few out of state deer hunters...

    FNG from WY

    I moved to Sundance(Northeast) a couple years ago. Originally from rural Pennsylvania.

    FNG from WY

    Cody is a really nice area. I live on the opposite corner of the state myself but have been that direction a time or two.

    Realistic Shooting Distances

    I’ve killed more deer at 300 yards than I have under 150. Hunted the first 12 years of my hunting career exclusively in Northcentral Pennsylvania. Moved to Wyoming in 2022. I’ve killed 3 deer and 1 bighorn sheep. All were killed over 300 yards with the farthest being 400 and change. Inside of...

    Wyoming unit 30 for a gimp?

    Glad you got to utilize your tag and had a successful hunt. Congratulations and hope you continue to recover well!

    Lighter recoiling elk rifle

    Ammo availability could be a limitation for him, depending on how internet savvy he is, and if he reloads or not. I suppose it could be a bit on the spendy side, but I purchased a Weatherby Mark V in 280 Ackley Improved this August, and I absolutely love it. The brake is not obnoxious, and My...

    Unit 17 Wyoming Ram

    Thanks everyone for the congratulations. I'm 24, and over the last 15 years of hunting with family and friends, there have been a lot of highs, but few, if any, have topped this one. What a blessing it has been. Hoping you all have-or have had, a great hunting season so far.

    WY Grizzlies

    While I’m as big an advocate for sensible management of griz, even including hunting if applicable, it saddens me to hear them described in this way. Like all the flora and fauna on this Earth, The Lord put grizzlies on the Earth for a reason. I am a lifelong outdoorsman and live in Wyoming. I...

    Unit 17 Wyoming Ram

    This Ram was killed down near Alcova, a couple hours south of Gillette. They do seem to love the big rock mesas and granite rock. Gillette isn’t a bad city. I actually live farther East in Sundance right near the WY-SD border.

    Unit 17 Wyoming Ram

    Back in April of this year, I drew a Unit 17 Type 1 (Any Ram) Tag in Wyoming. I drew my tag on the random draw. I had no preference points and had only been a resident of Wyoming for almost 2 years. Some of you may recall a thread on this very forum in the beginning of the summer looking for...

    SD Black Hills Whitetail

    I live in Northeast Wyoming. The SD border(and part of the black hills of SD) are 15-20 minutes from my doorstep. I spent much of the last two summers working in the hills around Deadwood and Lead. I don’t know if it’s feasible for you, but if you could find “corners” near private creek bottoms...

    What Whitetail woods will 2024 take you to?

    What part of PA? I was born and raised in Northcentral PA(Tioga Co.). Moved to Wyoming 2 years ago. I was fortunate enough to grow up hunting the last parts of my great grandfather’s old farm and some of the neighbors. The public ground around there was always pretty slammed in rifle season...

    Electrical Tape on muzzle

    For clarity, it wasn’t an attack on your friend. I am sure he’s killed a pile of elk, and in fact far more than myself. My total is literally zero, as I come from the Northeast and have only lived in Wyoming for 2 years(almost to the day). The difference is most likely a slight one in culture...

    Electrical Tape on muzzle

    Not to sound like a know-it-all, and it’s unfortunate that your friend’s elk hunt was ruined, but I can’t imagine not keeping some basic cleaning supplies in my pack , or at the very least, in the pickup/at camp. Especially if the hunt was a big one (e.g.. a Western Elk hunt while living in the...

    Wyoming NR antelope tags.

    I live in Northeast Wyoming and must have received my tag/license within the last week. I check my mail at the post office once a week, and it wasn’t there one Saturday, but was just this past weekend. I don’t know that I’d be concerned right yet.

    Wyoming unit 27 hunt, SxS or no?

    I’m a Wyoming resident of two years. I’m not really familiar with area 27, but looking at OnX it appears there’s ample public land. I know lots of the roads on public land out here are really primitive. As in, you can get yourself in trouble in a pickup or SUV. In my limited experience...

    New to 7mm Rem Mag & western whitetail

    Can’t go wrong with anything loaded with a Barnes TTSX or TSX. My Dad and Grandad ran 160 gr Sierra Gamekings( a plain-Jane soft point bullet) in a load that my grandpa developed for decades and put up a pile of deer in my home state. It’s a bit pricey, but I just bought a couple boxes of...

    First time western big game..?

    I think that the OP is looking for a Western Style Mountain hunt. If that is the case, and he’s not necessarily concerned about getting a monster, a spring bear hunt in the West wouldn’t be a terrible idea. Black Bear tags are OTC in Idaho, for example and only cost a few hundred bucks. If just...
