Moose, bison, big horn sheep, and mountain goats the application dates are jan 1- February 28. They did change the buffalo this year you have to pay the full $407 up front just like anything else and if you don't draw you will get a refund check. They did away with the whole draw a number thing for 11 bucks. I guess they had to many people draw low enough numbers and they never came a bought their tags. So this way they will for sure get their money for all of the tags.

How's your guys weather this winter?  Had heard that the die-off could be severe this year.  Still planning on heading back out next fall for deer/lope, but wondering what the early prognosis is looking like.

Just so you know melody and I were in an accident to day and her Hyndai Sonata was totaled.. We were stopped at a stop light and a f250 ford truck could not get stopped on the ice and there is no back end left on the car.   We are so lucky to be only sore  and lucky that the other person had the same state farm insurance agent as us in Riverton and admitted to the police it was her fault.  Poor Melody cried that her car of 7 years that she loved very much is gone..  Just be safe please

Thought I'd share, but I got my bear skull back this week from the Fall season, I though it turned out awesome and was impressed with the job.  I mounted it on this board and used gesso to put my picture on it, thought it turned out good.

Just got back from the World Ag Expo in Tulare, CA. Was gone 9 days and 2800mi logged on the truck. Seen some awesome equipment at the show and learned a lot. Here's a few pics from the trip.

I knew somebody would catch that! Not turning at all. It doesn't matter what color they are when they are that big. Just impressive to look at.  ;D

Ya, We don't know what horsepower is here. That big articulated New Holland with tracks is right at 700 horsepower. Takes a lot of acres to justify that bad boy.

Been hearing of reports of people in the past chasing bucks and bulls by dirtbike and atv to get them to drop antlers. I sincerely hope that any who witness this do theit best to turn these people in. Makes me more angry that some have been nonresidents. Maybe im wrong but i think the non residents should either pay a big fee to pick up our antlers or stay in their own state.            Happy shed hunting!

Hey guys,

I'm headed out in the fall to Niobrara county to deer and antelope hunt.  I've been out there quite a few times on public land, but wondering if anyone knows of landowners who might let someone hunt their private land with or without a trespass fee?  Shoot me a PM if you like.  Very respectful group of guys we have with a retired police officer and a retired firefighter in the group.  I'm the only young guy in his 30's going.

My fall so far.

Started off the first week of August as I went up to hunt caribou in Alaska. No guides, all do it yourself on the alaska haul road. Was a lot tougher than I had envisioned. On day 6 I was the first one in our group to release an arrow on a small bull. It was our last day to hunt so I figured I would try and get some meat for us all! It worked and before I got back up to the truck the older guy in our group had shot one right near the road. Nothing for 5 days and then 2 down within a matter of minutes on the 6th day.



Came home and hunted buck antelope for a few days in a unit by Casper. Most of the goats already skittish and on private land sent me home for a day to hunt does. Killed two by spot and stalk in one afternoon. First time I'd ever pulled that off.


On the 16th day of hunting elk and deer I finally connected on a buck I'm happy with. 12 days were archery hunting while this was the 4th day with the rifle.



If I can just put down that 330" 6x7 I chased during bow season my hunting season will be complete! It'll be time to chase ducks with the dog and look forward to hitting the hard water!

Pictures from my summer
« Reply #321 on: Oct 08, 2014, 11:49 AM »
Hello all,
This is my first time being back on this site since ice off and I figured I would share some pictures from my "off season".
First off I got the chance to fish for banana trout (a cross between an albino rainbow and a steel-head) while I was still at school in Idaho last spring. Man are they fun on my 5 wt!




This one weighed in at 13 lb 4 oz. The only one I kept out of them all because I am having him mounted. This is my biggest fish to date on a fly.

Then I started to fly fish the local streams here in Pinedale.



Then I transitioned into laker fishing off of my boat.



Then in late June a buddy of mine and I got it into our heads that we could backpack in and catch golden trout on a fly and come back out in a day. We accomplished this but it was hard we ended up putting on close to 14 miles that day with over 3000ft of vertical climbing to get to the lake we had chosen. We ended up fishing for about six hours all together. Then it was back to post holing snow to get back out. We began and ended walking in the dark. All in all it was a great trip and the fishing was awesome. I think these are the prettiest trout around.









I even got a little fishing in between drinking while I was in South Dakota for a college buddies wedding.

Then it was hunting season and I managed to take my antelope opening day with my bow.

I also attempted my first DIY European mount on him. Oh and he went pope and young with a score of 76 1/8.

I also was lucky enough to call in a small bull elk on opening day as well. He is nothing special but he sure is eating nicely.

I hope you all had a great summer like I did and I hope to see you all out on the hardwater real soon!

Thanks I'm pretty happy with it for my first one anyways. Amazing what you can learn on YouTube these days. I like the shed too I figured I should probably use some since I have so many just laying around taking up space in the garage.  ;D

Olefish  killed a small rag horn bull yesterday.  I camped out for 4 days by myself under a tree on top the mountain, no tent.  I killed the elk about 25 miles from home as I was taking the back road home.  I was following a rancher friend and I came over a rise in the road and he was standing in the road waving me down.  He tells me 30 head just ran across the road in  front of him.  30 minutes later and about 2 miles I look up over this little hill and there they are, a bunch of young bulls.  So I had one of my most lucky days ever.
