    Wyoming wolf hunt

    Back in 2007 I believe when we first labeled wolves as predators we could hunt them for about two weeks. Upwards of 20 were shot and the state got sued, injunctions followed, and we couldn't hunt them since. The article makes it sound like we will get at least thirty days to hunt them and gave...

    Wyoming wolf hunt

    http://www.powelltribune.com/news/item/10080-wolf-hunting-in-wyoming-next-month Hunters will get a shot at wolf hunting this fall in Wyoming. The federal government announced Aug. 31 that Wyoming will have management of wolves beginning Sept. 30. Whether conservation groups oppose...

    Wyoming antelope by car?

    If you had driven through Shoshone NF during the day time you would have seen all the "be bear aware" signs (griz). Part of the experience though. I've driven the Cody to the East entrance numerous times and think that part of the drive is just as pretty as the Park itself. You used to see...

    Wolfin'

    caribou and others in Alaska also use their furs to make clothing to sell. As I'm sure caribou will probably say later, when gas is $8-10 a gallon and milk too, it gets expensive real quick up there. There may be only one or two stores in the main villages up there. When a loaf of bread costs...

    Wolfin'

    Use the search function and read some of caribou's many posts. You'd see his family making clothing to survive in the artic circle from musk ox, fox, and yes, wolves. It's a subsistance lifestyle. If anyone on here can lecture us on how to not waste an animal's meat or hyde it would be caribou.

    Wolfin'

    Caribou, your posts are the main reason I keep checking out the hunting section. I know it's more hard work and nearly freezing, but it's hard not to romanticize your lifestyle reading your posts. Keep them coming. Wyohome, give it a few months and we may be able to follow in Caribou's footsteps.

    Wolves?

    Well you might not agree with it or understand it, but like it was said before here, in this democracy we had to accept the reintroduction of wolves, we also have to accept the hunting of predators. Bears, mountain lions, coyotes, and now wolves are going to be hunted. What most people really...

    Wolves?

    There's the problem. If there are so many wolves in Wisconsin, why can't you hunt them yet? The answer is you have all the environmental groups claiming the world will come to an end, or even more drastic, wolves will go extinct if we are allowed to hunt them. Idaho and Montana have been...

    Wolves?

    mjsja: The "eco-tourists" or wolf watchers are putting money into West Yellowstone, MT, Gardiner, MT, Cody, WY, and Jackson, WY, the four citites closest to Yellowstone. You see lines of them in Yellowstone because the wolves don't care if you can see them or not. You're not going to see that...

    Wolves?

    This could give Washington some hope. trib.com/news/state-and-regional/article_b0e2445c-bdfe-11e0-9a22-001cc4c002e0.html CHEYENNE -- After years of fighting, the state of Wyoming and the federal government have reached an agreement to remove the state's roughly 340 wolves from the...

    Wolves?

    How do you keep wolves under control if judges keep on shooting down the states' plans as violating the endagered species act? The USFW previously ruled Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming's plans as good enough even with Wyoming's shoot on sight rule for most of the state. We had one wolf season...

    Wolves?

    Here's my question about wolves spreading to Oregon, Washington, Colorado, and Utah. They told Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming that we would see more money come in from tourists going to Yellowstone to see wolves than ranchers and hunters would lose do to predation of cattle and elk/deer. Maybe...

    What's your favorite movie gun?

    My wife's favorite gun is Robert Duvall's "scatter gun" in Open Range, especially when he shoots a guy through a shed in the shoot out in town. What a wife!

    Glenn Beck on recent shootings

    Wow, Luttrell and his four man team killed 200-300 Taliban deep in their own territory. Not only did he lose everyone on his team, but eight more seals and a Chinook aircrew all were killed trying to rescue him, and those kids kill his dog. He's more a man than I am. My give-a-crap meter...

    May be moving to WY. Residents, info on gun/carry laws please

    jrfoxx, Your information on carrying sounds pretty accurate. Never got into suppressors/MG, but see ads for them in Cody all the time. Open carry is legal and doesn't raise many eyes (it's Wyoming) especially during hunting season. CCW, don't have one, yet. However, being prior military...

    Amazingly stupid Anti-OC article

    As leanwolf said, this is not satire. The Boise Weekly is rabid left-wing rag. Articles like this, incoherent, offensive, and written purely on emotion and devoid of any fact is the norm. It's not worth getting too worked up over. They're beyond sending any logical responses to and they...

    Shooting a bear in self defense

    How about the guys that don't pack a large handgun and still find themselves getting eaten or attacked? I don't know anyone who have actually shot and killed an animal in self defense. My friend did shoot at a black bear to scare it away when he was lost. I've been 3-4 feet away from a moose...

    Shooting a bear in self defense

    I just remember this one too. Wasn't it just last year when a scout was killed by a black bear in Utah? It seems just about every year someone is attacked in the Uintas or in Central Utah, a lot of them being scouts. It's not really the bears that scare me it's the moose. I've ran into much...

    Shooting a bear in self defense

    As to the "how many people are actually attacked by bears each year" question, I can remember At least three last year by actual grizzly bears. One man was mauled by a griz in eastern Idaho about 100 yards from his home, one University of Montana football player was bitten while hunting in...

    45 lc/454 ammo selection

    The double tap site acutally had some pretty good prices thanks. I was looking for the 45 lc for if my wife ever carried it. I know she couldn't handle the 454. It felt like somebody punched me square in the hand the first time I shot it. Needless to say I don't go plinking with it.
