    My First Antelope and Favorite Hunt

    Other Notes and Lessons - For Aliyah’s first hunt, I will probably just get doe antelope tags and pick a unit with ample verified public access. Land locked public is extremely frustrating. I am fortunate I got this buck the way we did. - Game bag the meat and then put into a...

    My First Antelope and Favorite Hunt

    We got up and drove out to the planned spot. I parked on the southern end near the watering hole then glassed the area. It was about 7 AM at this point and the sun had just crested the horizon. There were antelope everywhere! I saw a buck at the bottom of the hill where I originally thought...

    My First Antelope and Favorite Hunt

    I saw on my map that there were a couple of public land spots, a small one and a large one that I could get to by some county roads off of the major road in the unit so we decided to take a drive to them. The first one we came to gave us hope. It was 160 acres with 4 40 acre parcels stack north...

    My First Antelope and Favorite Hunt

    Wyoming Hunt with Aliyah (Oct 1 & 2) My daughter, Aliyah (9 y.o. girl), and I left Minnesota for Wyoming on Wednesday, September 29, right after she got off the school bus. The plan was to drive to Wyoming by Thursday with enough time to check out a few spots, hunt the Opener on Friday and the...

    Specific Cartridge on Elk Question

    For what it’s worth, I was able to get a box of 50 rounds of hornady edl x 162 gr from a custom shop. I’m thinking I should be set as long as it shoots well. I’ll probably use the hornady American whitetail for practice or pronghorn if I draw a tag. Thanks for all your advice. Sent from my...

    Specific Cartridge on Elk Question

    Thanks for the replys. As you guys pointed out there are definitely better options but what I have are okay options. I forgot about ammoseek. I just set up alerts there. Guessing I will come across something sooner or later. On to other stuff like where am I going to hunt... Sent from my...

    Specific Cartridge on Elk Question

    So I bought a Savage 110 Long Range Hunter back in December when they had a big discount and got it in 7mm Rem Mag. I wanted to upgrade a little from my 270. Last year was my first year hunting elk but didn’t get one. This year I am doing MT general elk. I was able to grab 3 boxes of Hornady...

    The 1 Thing You Learned- ELK

    What do you REALLY need in your pack to hunt? Don’t take anything more than that. It gets heavy toting it around Heaven’s creation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Dollar Store Challenge

    Toilet paper is generally less than $1. I bring a half roll and smash it flat so the center is flat so it fits better in my pack. If you take from a hotel it’s free (kinda, your bill pays for it). Multiple uses: pooping, marking blood trail, wind indicator, deer estrous wick, and probably other...

    I think we should just put a price cap on everything. That will solve it! Or we could have a draw system where everyone puts in money. If you draw you pay your money and you get your ammo or components. If you don’t, a small portion gets kept by the ammo company and you get a point for the next...

    Meh... I have shooting bow to fall back on. When was the last time you saw a run on arrow shafts and field tips. Plus I don’t need to invest $5-$10k in reloading inventory and capital investments. [emoji12] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
