    We're looking at an antelope unit in WY that we should draw this year. It has a good bit of BLM and state land. There are also several WIHAs in the unit. Some of these seem to have multiple places where they touch other public land, or touch public roads. I cannot find any information on what is...

    First dall sheep success

    I have been home from my first sheep hunt for a few days now. I will say that this was one of the best hunting experiences I’ve ever been a part of. It was physically demanding, it was mentally demanding, but man was it fun. I had been planning and preparing for a few years to make everything...

    Last minute sheep hunt

    So I have a dilemma. A few years back I booked a dall sheep hunt for late August 2019. Due to some very unfortunate events my hunt had to be cancelled. I won't get into the details for the sake of the outfitter, but I will say I do not blame him at all for having to cancel the hunt. But, that...

    Any "don't miss" sporting goods stores in Cheyenne, Casper, or in between?

    In a few weeks I will be headed out to Greybull, WY for an elk hunt. There aren't many options around where I live to check out western hunting equipment. There's really nowhere to look at decent boots, packs, or pretty much anything else that isn't geared toward whitetail. We will be hitting...

    Beginner fly fishing setup

    I want to try my hand at fly fishing. I have been doing some research on entry level combos. I don't want to drop a ton of money on a setup up front knowing if I like it I will upgrade anyway. I also don't want to drop a lot of cash on one that won't get used if I don't like it. A lot of...

    Rem-age barrel setup

    Have any of you converted a Remington to a Savage barrel nut type setup? Any drawbacks? Did you have to cut your stock to clear the barrel nut? I have a 700 Mountain Rifle that I plan to rebarrel. I like doing any work I can on my own. This looks like a good way for me to rebarrel the gun...
