    wyoming antelope hunt...? no points, non res.

    I feel similar to some of the other guys above. Do your own work. That said, I will save you some time. Any tags with decent access will have terrible odds in the doe fawn drawing. The tags you can draw easily will be in areas with a lot of private land. My guess is a 23 year old girl...

    merriam spring turkey hunt

    Nebraska's turkey population has been seriously declining. 2 years ago, a hunter was allowed to shoot 3 birds in the same day for the spring hunt and 4 in the fall (2 per permit). Now you are limited to 3 per year, 2 spring and one in the fall with no more than one per day. There are...

    Elk pack size

    Packs are personal preference imo. Until you use one a few times, you won't know what you like or dislike. I prefer my Ebberlestock while a buddy of mine, who is similar in size, likes a different pack. They all work- just need to try a few and see what you like.

    Wyoming draft regulations 2024

    I would be interested to hear how many of the pregnant does got bred late in those scenarios and what fawn survival rates looked like for the fawns born a month later. Guessing quite a few variables exist making it hard to measure results on a broad scale. It would also be interesting to hear...

    Wyoming draft regulations 2024

    I appreciate you posting that. I am learning more, even in my old age lol. I did visit again with my contacts. I am told the 8/100 is not a guarantee of all being bred but I am told the concern not being discussed enough is does being bred late, lowering fawn survival percentages. At...

    Wyoming draft regulations 2024

    No clue how long the actual plans are. The crash is being attributed to the winter kill as we lost most of the older age classes of bucks and the entire crop of fawns. I don't have links to provide. The info I have gotten is through conversations and the feeling I got was that at 12 to 100...

    Wyoming draft regulations 2024

    Your listed buck to doe ratio is inaccurate. It is regionally much lower. In one area I am seeing 12 per 100 currently based on areal counts. This APR is intended to increase that ratio and is only planned to be in place for 2 years. Right now there is concern that in some areas the ratio...

    Hot Sauce Recommendation?

    Lot of good ones mentioned. I am on a low sodium diet so most of the store bought ones are pretty high for me. I started making my own about a year ago. Jalapenos are cheap so it really doesn't cost much to make a good green sauce similar to green Cholula. My current recipe uses jalapenos...

    Mike Tyson VS Jake Paul

    True, but Ali and Tysons losses came from serious professional fighters that belonged in the ring. JP is far from that. JP might win but it's foolish to think Tyson has no shot imo.

    Mike Tyson VS Jake Paul

    I shake my head and laugh at so many of the comments in this thread. You guys act like someone can't be in great shape at 57. No 57 year old mike can't compete for championships anymore but he still is miles ahead of JP in experience and skill. I wouldn't bet either way because JP has...

    Closest you've been to a Brown Bear?

    Never have been close that I know of but have spent plenty of time in bear country. Had a few black bears close but no exciting stories. Definitely not complaining...

    Semi-fillet Elk Quarters?

    To me the front shoulders are what takes some time. If it's warm, I'll leave them whole, with hide off, to speed up how fast I can roll to start on the opposite. Once rear quarters are deboned and cooling, I go back to Debone the fronts. Anything over a mile, I completely debone.

    Roof Damage Home Owners Insurance Question...

    Here in the midwest they pay the full amount, minus deductible. All the roofs are new though and replaced every 2-3 years due to golf ball or larger hail.

    Roof Damage Home Owners Insurance Question...

    I bought my current home in 2003. We are on our 5th, soon to be 6th roof, all from bad hail storms. I feel like I live under the hail bullseye. The first time it happened, I though great, new free roof. Fast forward to now and I loath the thought of another storm. It is a huge PIA, and yes...

    Wyoming Draw: First Choice, Second Choice, Third Choice

    Agree but none of the tags available as a second choice would be worth spending that amount on imo.
