Holy cow this thread has degenerated into a mess. I am frankly a bit disappointed in the conduct of some of the guys from Wyoming. I don't get by here very often and I can live without visiting this forum in the future. Before I leave, I just want to assure the readers that the aggressive and...

Wow, I see this issue is as controversial on this forum as it is in the local gun shops across the state. I have visited with several game wardens and with a couple of enforcement specialists and to the person they are opposed to the new regulations allowing 22 caliber for deer and antelope...

Photo One is a 6.5x284 Savage Predator Max I topped off with a 6.5-20 Zeiss scope and a 20 MOA rail. I am shooting a 140 Berger VLD with 51.5 grains of H-4831 SC. Rifle number 2 is a Remington that was done over in 6mmBR by the folks at Krieger Barrels with a 1-8 twist. I am shooting a 107 SMK...

Went on my first long range p-dog trip of the season. Managed to set a couple of personal records with two rifles this morning. I am a real happy camper about now.

Pay particular attention to the restrictions on the walk-in areas. Most of the walk in areas in central Wyoming are of the "established" road variety. There are also park and walk in, and designated road walk in.

Can you give me a reference on that change? I just read Title 23 Article 3 and the wording is the same as before. Thanks.

I agree bigger is better, and yes 800 yards is a long haul. But an elk isn't a Sherman tank. I have taken a couple of dozen elk with a 7mm mag out to 700 yards. Most were right around 400-500 yards. My brother has shot 10-15 elk with his 7mm mag out to around 600 yards. Having said that, I...

Be sure to read the terms of the walk in areas. There are three main types, walk-in (park and hoof it), traffic restricted to established roads (including two track), and traffic restricted to designated roads.

That is true in some parts of 73. FWIW, I saw several 80+ bucks just east of Arminto after the season closed.

"Never mind the getting in, it's the not getting back out that gets people in trouble." Absolutely true. Later in the season folks will get in because the ground is frozen early in the morning, then getting out turns into a chore. FWIW, the damage I was referring to were guys ripping and...

With all of this talk about tire chains and churning around in the mud, I figured I would toss out a little item for your consideration. We have had walk in areas that were open to vehicles closed, access to hunter management areas put in jeopardy, and restrictions placed on HMAs all because of...

Post 12 contains the requirements for carrying concealed without a permit. Remember folks, carrying without a permit is for residents. If you are a non-resident you still have to possess a permit from a reciprocal state.

Last year I guided antelope hunters with my full size Toyota Tundra and only one set of heavy duty mud chains. Heck of it is, you can not put chains on the front of a Tundra. I was a bit nervous considering the possibility of really heavy rain/wet snow, but I made it through all of September and...

There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding about what constitutes shooting "from" a vehicle. I have been told by wardens and enforcement specialists that "from" is essentially from within the confines of a vehicle. Can't shoot from the bed of a pickup, out of a window, etc. However, one can...

Title 6 - Chapter 8 of Wyoming Statutes contains the statutes on weapons violations. The new concealed carry laws pertain to firearms carried on your person, not in your vehicle. "Carry a firearm with a cartridge therein.................??" I wish you would have finished the sentence. It...
