That video is so full of crap that it's ridiculous it was even released! This Doctor is one of thousands that have worked on CWD and for him to come up with what he did and then talking like CWD will be cured in the near future and test kits even possibly possibly sold to the publlc is...

32 was drawn at 100% with <5 PPS last year. It has good numbers and is close to Casper, so you can camp out in the BLM or motel it. 73 can be drawn at about 90% with 5 PPs, is another good area for numbers, has good access to public land and several large walk-in ranches under the Access Yes...

That's unreal, as a 260" bull is what most would consider immature, especially for NM where he hunts. If he wants anyone he books to shoot one like that it's obvious he goes by kill ratio and not maturity of the animal like most are looking for on an expensive guided hunt!

There are what is called LE or LQ units, which stands for limited entry and limited quota. You can apply for one of those units and if you draw it that is the only unit you can hunt with your tag. The alternative is to apply for the general tag and if you draw that one, which you can easily do...

He's not going to draw a tag with just 4 PPs over in the Black Hills LE area that was mentioned. If he wants to hunt this year, he should put in for the general elk tag in the Regular Draw and he'll easily draw his tag with his 4 PPs. Then he can decide if he wants to bow hunt in the September...

ID doesn't have a points system, but many units are a random draw only with low odds for a NR in some like our other member stated. I know there are a number of OTC units wit a first come first serve basis for the number of tags available. I wasn't aware of transferable landowner tags in ID.

First, I'd be checking with ID officials to see if this outfitter is on the up and up, as well as to do some checking to see that the contest was legit. I would also ask for written paperwork from them BEFORE trying to draw the tag saying exactly what you're getting for free for winning the...

When I got the notice last year that they were eliminating the Cabelas Visa Card and forcing us to go with another card I didn't want I spent my $100 I had in points as soon as there was a sale on a couple things I wanted along with free shipping. As soon as the items came and were okay I...

I camped in a very good wall type tent for 3 nights up northeast of Buffalo in 1992 on my first trip to Wyoming and the 4th night when the wind really picked up it came down on top of us and we had to stay in a motel the rest of the week. The next time I went DIY in 1997 I stayed in a PU with a...

I think it's more than a simple math problem if there is even the slightest chance that a person could lose their hunting rights in 48 states for one or more years. NRs obviously object to it since it's all Federal land we're talking about and even a lot of residents think it's BS because it's...

You could go one of two ways if you want to go to unit 38 in the Big Horns. If you bow hunt, the unit 38-9 archery tag could be draw with your PPs. 85.71% drew it with less than 10 PPs last year and the season is the entire month of September, which is the best time to be in the mountains...

That post was for the OP, not you!

Don't waste your money if you don't have any PPs. If you look at the money involved and the terrible odds it will take at least one, if not two, lifetimes, just for the top point holders to draw their tags before it even drops down to the lower point pools you would be in. Save your money and...

Dirtytough is right on the button. A resident can get a free license to guide up to two people a year. The paperwork attests that he is not getting any form of remuneration for doing it and he does have to have a hunting license, but it can be for anywhere in Wyoming and not specifically for...

The 51-2 tag he's thinking about applying for is for just part of the unit and last year there were only two tags in the Regular Draw that went for 5PPs. If the OP wants to definitely hunt in 2019 I would suggest that he go for a unit that offers more than just that small number of tags. As...
