    Toyota Tundra Owners..... Yea or nay

    Not sure if toyota fixed the problem with the 2014&15s or not but with many previous models if you lift it, even a leveling kit, you will blow out the steering rack. That was the major drawbak why i sold mine. I hate stock height vehicles and didnt want to take the risk.

    If i was game and fish and saw someone with a coueswhitetail sticker in their window i would make sure to harass them on their hunt. Just a nice way of returning the love.

    . I for one find it hilarious and think game and fish should screw with you even more. If you let it get to you so much you deserve it. Lose your sense of entitlement and realize the results will come when they come.

    My guess is only the hard core guys who can dedicate days at a time or the unethical guys who take quads off the trails.
  9. If the state has ownership maybe the sportsmen could come together and buy up the land with terms/contract that it never be closed to hunting etc. thats the only good possibility i see in regards to hunting continuing for future generations
  10. The land will be lost with the feds owning it as well. It is a lose lose situation for the common man. The rich landowners dont want you hunting their land unless you pay, feds want hunting banned and turning land into monuments or natl parks, state will sell to highest bidder bit by bit til it is all gone.

    Trespassing

    The cops wont do anything unless he is still on your property and wont leave. If he came and left he is not trespassing anymore so nobody will do anything to him legally. Even if you were there and happen to catch him you cant really do anything to him but ask him to leave.

    24B sheep

    I used to live in a house off of canyon lake and spent pretty much every day for 2 years watching them. Saw some great rams and odd behavior. They would come down to my yard and try to eat the grass i planted. Watched many fights and duing the rut i found out if you get to close they will charge you as well. Not a fun experience. Haha
  13. Guesses ranging from 106-143 and everyone is looking at the same buck. Amazing how different one's view can be.

    Browning A-Bolt II Hunter 7mm Rem Mag

    A rifle in the hand is the same as money in the bank. Can always get pretty close to what you paid for a rifle. The things women spend money on are usually worthless in a couple years if not sooner. Tell her you were just investing the money in a rifle which you can actually use instead of money that just sits in the bank. Once i figured out that line i never got anymore crap for buying guns... because it is true.

    Need Help (Hunting Clothes Layering)

    Also no need for those big bulky camo jackets if you layer the right way. Even in 30 degrees i am usually good with just my base layer and fleece midlayer once i start hiking. The fleece should be tight fitting not the loose kind. If you hunt in the stickers and burrs the fleece sucks cause it attracts all kinds of stickers so keep the outer layer on and ditch the fleece if too warm

    Need Help (Hunting Clothes Layering)

    Just dont wear cotton. I wear a sitka long sleve shirt as a base layer, any brand fleece midweight and something waterproof/windproof as an outer layer. Leave room in your pack for one of the layers to come off midday. Cotton absorbs water which is bad if you sweat a lot like me or if it rains.

  22. For those of you wanting to hunt Antelope in Wyoming I though I would start a thread on how to apply and what you will need. It is fairly simple and I would recommend going to Wyoming at least once to everyone. It is a great time for sure. Make sure to plan well in advance. Now would be a good time to start planning for a 2013 trip as you need to purchase a bonus point now. First is the link to the Non-resident hunting guide booklet for Wyoming - http://wgfd.wyo.gov/...ng-1000443.aspx Here you will find a lot of the info needed to get going. The application proccess is January to March. If you put in and decide you dont want to hunt you can withdraw your app anytime before June 3rd. The drawing is usually around the end of June with leftovers going on sale around Mid July. To put in for the draw, go here: https://gf.state.wy....ELSWelcome.aspx If the species you want to apply for is not listed, it is because the time to apply has either passed or has not come up yet. It helps to have at least one bonus point to at least get a decent buck antelope tag in a decent area. You can buy a bonus point now up til the end of september for $30.00. Go to the above link to purchase a bonus point. You can get a good idea of how many points it takes to draw for an area by going to this link; http://wgfd.wyo.gov/...20120002489.pdf This was the results for the 2012 draw. To help get drawn or draw a more difficult area with less points you can always apply for the special permit draw. This is a more costly tag (about $200 more) but your chances increase greatly. For a beginner going to Wyoming I would recommend hunting near a bigger town (Casper, Laramie, Cheyenne). There are many hotels there and restaraunts and plenty of people to ask for help if you need it. The game and fish up there is very helpful in regards to landowners and getting access to their land. Sometimes a trespass fee is needed and can cost $100 or $500 (or more) depending on the popularity of the land. There is a lot of blm land and state land to hunt for those not wanting to pay a trespass fee. Also a lot of ranchers have joined with game and fish to offer access to their land through the hunter management area program. Certain units have very large hunter management and walk in areas. Take advantage of these areas if you can. You need a permit to access these areas and some are draw only so be sure to apply for one before your hunt. The link is here: http://wgfd.wyo.gov/...gementHome.aspx Your license and tag come together in the mail if you get drawn (they are the same thing). The only other thing you need with you is a $12.00 conservation license. Be sure to have this on you at all times. Most units in Wyoming you can get one buck tag and two doe tags during the draw. When the leftovers come out you can get two more doe tags if availalbe and also one more buck tag if available for a total of 6 antelope. Last year I had a buck tag for one unit and two doe tags for the adjacent unit. It was not difficult to fill all 3 tags. If anyone has any other questions or concerns feel free to ask. I know many of you already know the process but a few dont and seems to hold some people back from wanting to go. It is a very easy process and with a good gps map the whole trip will go smoothly and assure you many good memories. If I forgot anything or anyone has anything else to add feel free to do so.

    Wyoming Antelope Application Process

    The red desert does have 90 inch bucks but they are rare. The taxidermist had a red desert tag the year before last and kevin's buck he took from 32 was bigger than the taxidermists red desert buck. With 4 points you are sitting nicely and can get an 80-85" buck without putting in for the special draw in many units
