My buddy talked to someone in the WY game and fish and he was told that 3 points would get a general tag this year. I said that was very positive thinking as it took 4 pts to get a general last year minus the randoms. Perhaps they are thinking the new zones will allow for that. Good luck to...

Thank you everyone! I have loads of naturally occurring grey dogwood and the deer browse it but I want to add more variety, also the nrcs biologist isn't a fan of it as he says it can be invasive. I have a couple spots on this farm that would lend to that theory. About three years ago, my dad...

I'm renewing my continuous crp. One of the practices I'm doing allows me to plant shrubs. I will be planting 4 rows of 2 kind of shrubs. I have loads of elderberry on the place already but I know it is bombproof. I think wild plum would be a good one but not sure how much it get's browsed...

Good luck 1983, I think that is a good idea. I've always thought about going that route.

Deer can handle the copper. Chelated copper is best, at least that is what I was told by someone who really does know what they are talking about.

I know you want to kill the honey locust, but if you notice certain trees are targeted for their pods, you might want to leave them. I have a few that the deer hammer every year regardless of how bad the winter conditions are. I've killed hundreds but these few are safe because the deer flock...

These are two of the bucks that have spent several double digit minute visits at this mineral lick. The 5x5 is new since last week. A new half rack typical 5 pt that has a 2" kicker off his G2 showed up last week as well.

Put mine out the first Sunday in Jan. The deer have been hammering it since. I'd keep refreshing it every 2 months if I didn't plan on hunting in illegal zone spelled out in the baiting law.

Like IBH1983 said, you may get some of them to stay. The las few years this has happened on our place and the best have stuck around. The place has ample food opportunities and generally we killed the oldest on the place that same season so there was room for them to move into the area.

Again, wow! That deer just keeps growing it's trophy status. Thanks for sharing

That forecast shows me a hard ice crust over the snow pile that we have now. Not good but I hope I'm way wrong.

Here's a good podcast that will possibly help one to understand the WY elk draw system and the new general units. It also sheds some light on how little control DNR's can sometimes have in setting up scientifically driven policies.

Wow, that is great and old buck. Congrats.

IMO I think you'll draw with 5 for general but the new special price might have thrown everything out of whack. If 5 don't get a general, that will set a few elk specific forums on fire. Good luck, remember, you can't win if you don't play.

The preference point game has always been a ponzi scheme and nobody noticed until people wanted to cash out that had been paying in for so long. Now WY is a train wreck for NR because of preference points(other states doing that will soon follow). A very large percentage of multiple point...

Snail3496, well stated. That is my experience with cuddelink system as well.

I don't consider what they're doing as anti NR, they are just protecting the residents opportunities. Very similar to what IA does with their deer hunting. I would want my state to lean heavily on protecting resident's hunting opportunities over allowing more NR. NE finally put a limit on NR...

Go out a day or two after a good snow event. (my opportunity is going to start today through this week) Walk every fence line, creek bank(both sides), timber areas and any other cover one may have. Mark the locations of only coyote tracks in places that allow one to set a snare 12" high with...

I used whitetail extreme for my first seeded food plot into a killed off a former brome field. It's use was incredible for 3 years. I bought it because it had been marked down to a crazy low price to dump it. Deer use was incredible, however during this I time fell into this addiction of...

Looks great. I would plant screening along the outside edges of the new food plot, opposite of the timber, regardless if you're going to set stands there. Deer will be that much more comfortable to going out into it. Miscanthus gigantus will create a permanent, screen or there are other yearly...
