    Wyoming Antelope Gun...

    i shot my first one with a 30-06 and 180 partition. I dont see a problem with it. I think flat shooting is as important for antelope as anything given the open terrain and small body size.

    How far was your average Antelope shot?

    closest was around 40 yards (1st antelope), furthest around 350. Average has been roughly 200 over 6 or so animals.

    First DIY Backpack Hunt

    Buy top quality used. I would focus on kifaru and exo. Look for something along the lines of a kifaru reckoning with a duplex frame or Exo 5500 on the K2 or K3 frame. They both come up used regularly. You'll be getting high end packs and save a bit of money. Gear guys like gear and upgrade...

    Wyo creep

    The resident/nonresident issue is always going to bring strong opinions. I have at least partially decided where to live based on the outdoor opportunities afforded by that choice. I grew up in Washington state but live in Wyoming today. I have zero problem with nonresident hunters and also...

    WTS WTS Kifaru Duplex hunter frame 26" and Modified Timberline 2 pack

    Can loads be packed between the pack and frame on the timberlines? I didn't think so but am not sure.

    Go-To State for Muleys?

    As a resident or non res? The access to tags has to be considered as well as the type of hunting a person prefers vs just the quality and quantity of animals. Some like to hunt early season, alpine mule deer. Others want migration or rut hunts. For me, as a resident, Wyoming offers some great...

    Weight of a Bone-in Mule Deer Hind Quarter

    Do you know what your pack weighed before you added the deer? The reason I ask is that I tried to one-trip my pack out with a mule deer and camp this year and was amazed at how heavy the pack was. I didn't skin the head but did bone everything out. I have an estimate of the total weight but...

    Zen Ray Optics?

    It's really frustrating. I've owned mine since probably 2012 or so and have liked them well but will likely end up buying something else since it's unclear whether I'll ever get my property returned.

    EXO 2000/3500/5500 k2?

    If you might be doing multi-day trips and don't have all the most compact gear, I'd go 5500. To me, the 3500 is on the small side for longer trips and the difference in compressed dimensions is minor and weight difference is only a few ounces. I have the 2000 in addition to the 5500 more because...

    EXO 2000/3500/5500 k2?

    I'm fairly sure it's only to the original purchaser but I believe I've heard that they will repair for a reasonable fee regardless. If I expected to buy and keep for many years, I would buy new as the price difference between new and used isn't great. I also think the 2017 packs and up have some...

    Zen Ray Optics?

    I'm in an even worse spot as they got me a return authorization number last spring and have had my ED3s ever since. I haven't been able to get ahold of anybody since June and I don't have my binoculars. It's been 10 months......
