FNG from Wyoming

[7RemMag]

Hello Everyone, long time lurker on the forum. I’m 24 years old. Born and raised in Northcentral PA, but Sundance Wyoming is where I proudly call home. Cut my teeth hunting and trapping in the farms and woods around my childhood home, but thrilled to be out here in the West with all it has to offer. Happy to be here, and excited to help in any way I can. I’m sure I’ll be asking some questions of my own before too long.

As the self-appointed chairman of the welcoming committee, it is my privilege to extend a laurel, and hearty handshake (virtual, of course) to our new WY member.

You can’t expect him to post elk locations on the internet.

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 had planned on hunting even harder but a couple weeks ago I got an email that I drew Wyoming Bighorn Sheep tag in the Seminoe/Ferris Mountains. My first year applying. Needless to say, I won’t be heartbroken if I don’t get an elk this year, either.

Congrats on the sheep hunt! I bet that will be an exciting hunt. As for the elk spotsI was kidding and didn't expect an answer, I bet you get asked all the time. Good luck in this fall.

Welcome and congrats on the sheep tag! You in oil and gas industry? Seems logical as a transplant to that area. I was all over the western side of Wyoming again this past year. Saw some new areas. Beautiful state to call home!

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 stuff. We do a lot of livestock water lines for ranchers.

Welcome to Wyoming, and congrats on the sheep tag. Easy elk hunting doesn't build much hunting character in my opinion! Keep after it and you'll find success in no time.
