    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...

    Mystery Ranch Metcalf or Eberlestock Vapor 5000

    Ok Roksliders, Eberlestock and Mystery Ranch are both running a site wide sale. I’m looking for a new pack and it looks like this might be my queue. I’m looking for opinions on one or the other or both. I really like that the Vapor 5k and the F1 Mainframe can be used independently of eachother...

    FNG from Wyoming

    That’s the big industry here in Northeast Wyoming. I’m an equipment operator and CDL driver. Worked for the highway department back in PA. I worked doing underground utility work when I first moved out here to WY, but now I work for a small father/son business that does a lot more residential...

    Wyoming Unit 17 Ram Tag

    I will send you a message later today. I am trying to figure it out this morning but so far I’ve not been able to.I am getting ready to head out of the house to go to work right now but I will work on it a little later. Thanks.

    84-1 Wyoming

    The Wyoming Game and Fish website can sometimes be a good way to locate landowners willing to allow hunters. Someone can feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, but any time you see “walk-in hunting” areas, I believe that is considered private land also?

    Have you moved out of state?

    I’m 24 years old. Grew up in Northcentral PA. Between a rapidly changing political climate, a somewhat dismal future in what had always been a somewhat depressed area, and urban creep drove me West to Sundance, Wyoming. My parents and my sister (who graduated this May) moved out here as well...

    Wyoming Unit 17 Ram Tag

    Maybe this will just be rubbing more salt in an already oozing wound, but I’ve only been a resident of WY for just under two years, and this was my first year applying. It is extremely humbling to realize that at 24 years old, I was lucky enough to draw a tag that many men have lived their...

    Wyoming Unit 17 Ram Tag

    Hello all, I was lucky enough to draw a Resident any ram tag in area 17 (Ferris/Seminoe Mts.) in Wyoming. I’ve spent part of two weekends there scouting so far. The first weekend and friend and myself saw around 20 ewes. Last weekend My Dad and I saw 2 ewes. Does anyone have any general...

    Puffy Jackets

    I’m not real well versed on technical hunting apparel, However I absolutely love my Kryptek Eldax jacket. It’s a synthetic puffy material but it is incredibly warm and light. I bet it would work pretty slick for the type of hunting you’re describing.

    FNG from Wyoming

    As much as I’d like to be a help there, I couldn’t confidently tell anyone where a “go-to” place for elk in Wyoming is. I hunted pretty hard last fall for elk, and even into December on a reduced price cow tag. I never laid eyes on an elk during season, and I hunted pretty hard every weekend. I...
