      So looks like Wyoming approved adding 2,000 additional Elk tags.
      Elk populations in Wyoming’s major herds are nearly 30% over objective, Wyoming Game and Fish Department personnel revealed as their governing commission approved hunting seasons and nearly 2,000 additional licenses

          Here's some antler growth to get you all thinking about fall.
          These elk are at the WG&F research facility in Sybille Canyon.

                What everyone's preference/opinion on their preferred time to hunt during archery season, pending you can pick any week you like. Do you prefer early in the season before the animals all get hunted and moved around, or do you prefer late in the season when the elk are more likely to be vocal. Just curious what everyone's preferences are.

                  OUCH!!!

                  I've been seeing that fire listed on maps but never thought of a closing till December.

                  I've decided to go DIY and was concentrating very near there.

                  Not sure what to think other than plan and adapt to it.

                    Got a good bull on camera at an undisclosed location in unit 37 NM. Pretty exited! Took some stills from the video. Probably going to put a couple more cameras out. Looking forward to September!
