I don't think most people will argue on the point of technology making it easier to quickly and sufficiently kill animals is bad. I think that is just a matter of taking the hunt out of hunting. Missing is part of hunting. Practicing with your weapon so that you are proficient is part of...
As much as I hate to be the guy that is asking this, I have researched a few units and locations that I am interested in applying for but can't seem to pick one over the others.
If anyone has experience in Wyoming that wouldn't mind being a sounding board via pm, I would appreciate it. I'm...
