Hey Guys and Gals, I am looking at building some tipi's and just wanted some of your opinions, for those of you that have used the various types of tipi's. If you could have a custom tipi made, to your specifications, what would you consider the top priority? (i.e. extra tie outs, certain...

Thanks wyosteve. On the BHNF...is Bud Love worth even considering or is it a sea of orange?

I have a friend of mine retiring from the Navy, and he has always wanted to go elk hunting with a side of antelope. I am wanting to surprise him with a DIY hunt and have Wyoming on the brain. He has mentioned that he would like to just kill a cow elk for meat/hide and he wants to go after a...

Thank you for the responses. From what I have gathered, I won't go wrong either way. I'm going to try and get behind each of the 4 mentioned to see how my eyes like them and go from there.

I have both MOA and MIL scopes now, and am comfortable with both. I only listed them in case someone had first hand experience with a MIL scope and not a MOA version they could still chime in. If I do shoot to a mile, it will only be for fun and show, not something that I would try to win any...

I am looking to get a new scope for a build, and have narrowed my choices to 4. I am not concerned about weight, but this will be used primarily for a hunting rifle and I want to shoot steel at 1000 and work my way to 1760. Here are my 4 choices, but I am open to suggestions as well. 1)...

I have (169) 175gr Berger VLD target bullets and (92) 180gr Berger VLD hunting bullets for trade (or sell if you would rather buy). Trade value is $150. If you're interested, let me know what you have for trade.

TG...Yeah I understand that part of the draw, but if I solely wanted to hunt for cow elk, not apply for a bull tag, is it the same process only I would enter Unit A-6 type hunt? and from what I understand, you can't use preference points towards cow elk?

I have read through the website and the rules/regs, but I have a question regarding cow elk tags. On January 1st, when I submit my license, do I just put on there that I want to hunt cow elk in area XYZ or do I have to wait until July 15, when they go on sale OTC?

Re: Gauging interest in a wyoming long range antelope group hunt If this is not too much of a headache for you, and you plan on doing it again for the 2016 season, I am in! Non-Resident, and will be bringing at least 1 other hunter with me, maybe 2 others.

Yeah, the more I look and research, the more I really like the 6.5x47. Thank you guys for all the input. I will keep y'all updated on the progress.

westcliffe01, that was one of my turn off's to the 6.5-284. I don't want a rifle that I will have to buy a barrel for every hunting season or so. I would like to be able to get a few good years from it, before having to swap barrels.

I was thinking about the 6.5x47 or the 6.5-284 as well
