    I drew region G with 0 points and don't know anything

    The herd took like an 80% hit this winter so not much to talk about. The oldest and youngest all died.

    Would you do it?

    People are so oblivious in their own worlds I wouldn't think twice about that. 200+ yards is a long way to go for a deer hit well, so don't botch the shot and you'll be fine.

    Updated Wyoming Range Mule Deer Mortality Article - June 13, 2023

    I went to college for Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences but in eastern SD so no muleys or migratory large mammals to speak of. I worked in the field a few years and did some radio collar work as well so I understand how it works, just never took part in winter capture. Also the number of collars...

    Updated Wyoming Range Mule Deer Mortality Article - June 13, 2023

    I read a study from Colorado some years ago that showed as little as 2 stressful interactions on the winter range could cause a doe to abort. I know that masking the deer after capture calms them really quickly but I highly doubt the deer stood there and waited for the chopper to rip up on them...

    Trouble Duck Calling (Please Help LOL)

    Flip the call around backwards and practice blowing air from your gut and getting hum on it. It took me a full summer to figure it out practicing every day but once it clicked, I progressed super quick. Once you've got the quack, your next thing to tackle is the feeder call. Just keep at it and...

    Opinions on what bullet

    If you're open to bullet suggestions outside your list, I'd look at the PVA 151gr Cayuga. It's a mono that we've shot multiple antelope, deer, and elk with and had great results.

    Wyoming 90/10 for elk

    Idaho takes 6 months. Wyoming is 10 years. Kinda crazy the range in requirements state to state but I like the 10 years so people can't game the system.

    Arken EPL-4 4-16x44mm Q&A

    You should make a single pinned thread with all the scopes that pass and don't. I will be in the market for a scope next year and as of now am leaning towards the NF NXS 5.5-22x50. It seems NF has fared well in your tests even though you haven't tested anything in the NXS line.

    Wyoming 90/10 for elk

    The moment you leave the state you retain 0 resident rights. I know what you're referring to (in reference to another state) but Wyoming is not that way. You're either in or you're out. No offense taken, we just have enough folks already trying to game the system getting convicted every year...

    Wyoming 90/10 for elk

    Yeah not how that works. You have to reside in Wyoming for the full 365 prior to purchasing your resident deer or elk license and there is no lifetime license for big game. Also to become eligible to buy lifetime for fishing, small game/bird, or archery, you have to reside here for 10 years.

    Updated Wyoming Range Mule Deer Mortality Article - June 13, 2023

    Haven't made a run to the high country yet but definitely not seeing the deer in the low country that I normally see during my training hikes. Really hope things aren't as dim as they're portrayed but it's hard to know. I do have to question how well a deer can respond to being run down by a...

    WY Corner Crossing Solution?

    The statute is still the same with the clarifying statement that it requires contact with the land so it removes any ambiguity about airspace. Wardens have always been able to cite for trespass just not criminal trespass which they still can't even with this bill.

    WY Corner Crossing Solution?

    Physically touch would insinuate anything under your control (yourself, you equipment, etc.) and surface would likely be interpreted as the land itself since bushes/trees are above the surface. As far as dropping items, I would revert to the rest of the definition that doesn't allow entering...
