    What rifle for hunting with irons?

    Not that it is practical, but I inherited an open site, 30-40 Krag that was a WW1 service rifle from my grandfather. It was a rifle that was passed down to him from an uncle. He was an outfitter in western Wyoming for 30 years and the stories that he would tell of big bucks that he harvested...

    Interesting. I will have to think about and look into this more. @robby denning this 👆 would be an interesting conversation to have with Dr. Kevin Monteith if you can ever get him on the Rokcast!

    I probably would be freaked out as well. To be fair, I was not there when they netted each individual animal and I would assume that this is when the animals would become most stressed. My experience came from when they arrived to us (the ground team) by helicopter. I remember being surprised at...

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

    I've been involved and have volunteered with several of the collar studies for mule deer. The G&F and other organizations go to great lengths for each animal's safety and follow strict science driven protocols. In my personal experience, I have only seen measures employed once due to an animal...

    The Greatest Mule Deer Herd? With Gary Fralick

    I couldn't agree more. I hope you are right with the pendulum swinging back. The sad reality is that Gary is nearing retirement and it will be interesting to see how everything changes when his experience and tenure isn't there anymore.

    The Greatest Mule Deer Herd? With Gary Fralick

    It does. I have reached out to the local area representatives with little success as stated previously. Your comment helped me realize that a call at the state level may be the next step. Thank you for your response and willingness to share behind the scenes information.

    The Greatest Mule Deer Herd? With Gary Fralick

    Thanks for this. This is the first time I have been given a straight answer in regards to mandatory reporting. I must have missed this discussion at the commission meetings for some reason. Hopefully soon this will come to pass.

    The Greatest Mule Deer Herd? With Gary Fralick

    I have grown up and currently live in the heart of the Salt River Range. I have had many conversations with Gary over the years and am grateful for the work that he has done for nearly four decades. I think that Gary, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, and commission have incredibly...

    Final decision scope on my 6.5prc?

    I looked at this review and maybe missed it, but was this scope mounted with the rings lapped? I personally have found that a scope that doesn't hold zero isn't necessarily always the scope. You have to look at the whole mounting system before just saying the scope is "junk". Most if not all of...

    Thanks for the reply. This is what I was looking for. I must have missed the information provided by Gary. I will keep watching for it.
