^ I get that. I think part of wy budget is actuall based on those projections That us why I am saying keep it till June Shoot. Give me the option to let the money parlay till next year. I just...

I don't understand why they wait to post. Shorten the amount of time you have to apply, post results sooner. You still don't have to give the money back. Keep it till June. Just tell me if I...

Nice. Job on the run. Been walking with 72 lbs in a kifaru pack up to 3.5 miles at 3.4 pace. Goal is to do 4 consistently. Also she'd 9 lbs so far

BTW.. It is snowing hard. It is a Wet Wet Snow like in the mid-west. Yeah 4/30.... and SNOWING>

Also the areas 76 and surrounding are still general. I can't believe that. They need to quota the whole thing and reduce the tags from 300 to like 100 in 78.. Not enough deer in the area and it...

Kifaru - Bikini Dt1. Just got it and have only "hiked" around the neighborhood. but I am very impressed.

Dry, Dry, with some extra Dry. At least in the South East part.

You would be amazed at the Ohio State and UofM fans out here.


The name escaped me so I looked it up. It appears the he was the captain in 2003 and that is when that team up north beat my...

Laramie got some GOOD snow today (Monday) but don't know about mountains. 8 inches in town. Wet snow. supposed to be 45 on Wednesday.

Bears are nothing to mess with but I will still go out. I've been in NW Wyoming twice in past 3 years. I live in SE and the hunting is ok. but the hunting up in the carnivore section is just too...

64 is a general and has some descent areas but access is not the best. I forget the name, but one of the habitat areas in there is archery only. Also the area has a pretty bad cwd rap.

This last little storm just barely dusted Laramie. I think most of snow was in colorado. I think this will be another ugly year for the animals. Hope I am wrong.

I live in Laramie, WY at 7200 and a friend comes from Columbus, OH (600-700) to hunt every year and we hit some good mountains. Even though I live here, I still run a lot. In fact both started...

Shoot. I was hoping they did. If we don't get more we are in for a long summer. There is some snow up there but not enought to make up for what we didn't get last year.

Laramie got a a couple of inches and I am guessing the mountains got a lot more. Seems the storms form North and West build up and as soon as they top the mountains, the unload. So hopefully...

DT1 all the way. You already save a ton of weight with the bikini. I have no real reason other than I like the look of the DT1 better. Hunters can be so superficial, it is what is in the...

I went through this very same thing over the past year. I was at the same place you are right now Dryfly. After months of reading, talking to people and trying on packs I went with the kifaru. ...

I agree SSLIGER. It is going to be an ugly year. The water reservoirs are about dry and no snow in mountains equal a bad time for humans and animals. For a while I was thinking that the worse...

I like the idea because of the revenue it will generate. Maybe things like this will keep them from raising prices as they proposed.

I have been looking at return policies on some of the bigger names. I am considering just what you guys mentioned, buying a couple and "hiking the stairs" to see what they feel like and sending...

Yes... It was 19 in Laramie and 12 upon on the mountain when we started hunting. Wouldn't change anything about it. It was a great hunt.

In Wyoming, it only costs a resident around 5 bucks for a tag as they get the money sent back if they don't get. So that would take a while. 8-) but I do get what you are saying. I understand...

I was talking about Wyoming. That is where I currently reside and there is no advantage for 60+ there that I know of.

My Wife and Sons Elk.... Was a great Season. Both of them were about 2 miles from the nearest road. 100% DIY on Public in Wyoming. Her's was the first day and his was the first Saturday.

5060 ...

I see what you guys are saying and I can see your side as well. I just think if a guy has been a resident and drawing for 40 years without missing a beat and is 60+ there out to be some advantage....
