    Weather Advice-Wyoming unit 34

    Pay very close attention to the weather. That time of year the weather can change dramatically in a matter of hours. 70's and sunny in the morning then by that afternoon 20's and dumping snow. Not an exaggeration.

    Using a Cow Decoy & Pronghorn Decoy?

    I mean... not to ask a stupid question, but were there a lot of cows around the unit you hunted? Cause if it's the first time they had seen a cow (even a fake one) it's going to freak them out.

    Remi Warren no longer hosting Cutting The Distance

    I drew a Wyoming Mountain goat tag!! Any advice?

    Bummer. Applied for this tag this year. There is a guy on these forums who sealed the deal in 4 though. Maybe if I draw the tag we can link up so that I at least know where not to go.

    Wyoming MTN Goat

    Congratulations! Amazing story about how hard work can flip the odds. Applied for this tag this year. Fingers crossed I get it, though I know drawing the tag is the easy part.
