It's easy unless it's not....like with an elk wedged in between trees and in low light...certainly doable though
WY G&F video may be useful

This may have been said before but it bears repeating.
A WY tag does not allow anyone to hunt anywhere (or any time). You are already stuck with certain boundaries (even a general tag).
Where you can and can't hunt a particular species in a particular season is set by the G&F and has nothing...
Tollers are smart and vocal and will dominate the house if you are not careful....maybe even if you are.
Mine have been real characters.
Tolling works on the water. It takes the right circumstances but curious birds will swim in while you hide and the dog retrieves....doesn't have to be a...
"You're right, they are there, and watching you. Turn that around."
This would be my first bet too. Do you use binoculars in the timber?
It is truly shocking how quickly and quietly elk can slip away if they are aware of you first. The older I get, the slower I go, the more I see.
Looks like only 200 tagholders, they probably have got the message but:
" Due to the administrative closures of the federal government in the area of the Beaver Creek fire, hunters may, at their discretion, return their unused Limited Quota Deer Hunt Area 81 license to the Wyoming Game and Fish...
I don't know that country real well, but I assume it is like all beetle killed forests and you have probably already been advised : bring a chainsaw and plenty of gas.
There are enough people about in the fall that most blockages will be cleared fairly quick, but that won't help if you are...
The roads in the park shouldn't be considered regular highways - they are park roads. With the speeds so many travel it's wonder it doesn't happen more.
And I'm not about to get begrudge anybody a chance to see a grizz close up (or even an eagle). Isn't that the point? Getting too close is...
Be proud, be content.
And know, that in my circle at least: guys who lived years in WY, guys that kill elk every year on public land, guys who have killed 20-40 elk apiece, there's no such attitude as"it's only a cow".
Cow elk are not comparable to does of any kind. I've hunted on many cow...
You might check with the Forest Service in your hunt area, they sometimes loan out electric fences the same as they loan out other bearproof containers (backpacking kegs and panniers).
I've also heard that, in addition to radios, bears tend to shy away from a flashing light.
It's hard to sink much lower on the bad citizen scale than pee bottles and uncovered piles of crap/TP. If you're gonna do that, you might as well just give everybody you see the finger.
But I've come to a bit of peace over all the guys I see driving up and down the roads. Not guys with loaded...
Giant bugling bull and cows there now.(5:45am MT).
I've seen and heard elk about every morning or evening (EST) I've checked in the last 2 days.
It seems sometimes it is running on autopilot/motion detection, but at other times, someone is running it.....like on a Saturday morning.
Thanks for...
