I went into the Wyoming 2026 nonresident draw with 15 elk points in a unit that the last two years took 5 points to draw. I was unsuccessful. This year it took 17 points to draw a nonresident tag in that unit. That is a little more than creep. I'm borderline for Wyoming moose for next year...

I'm guessing that the hunt will only last 3 days if you are picky. Don't spend a ton of money on clothing. Dress like a local and be comfortable. Wrangler or Levi blue jeans or Carhartt brown pants, Carhartt T-shirt. Uninsulated leather boots to keep the cactus from penetrating them...

My post driver weighs about 30 pounds. You don't have to it the post as many times. The other picture is of a Goldenrod fence stretcher. I have stretched miles of barbed wire with one. I have mine hanging next to my post driver.

I stopped a wounded mountain lion with a 44 Mag S&W M29 with 240 gr HP. The cat died at my feet.

I have used Federal Gold Medal Magnum Match 215 primers for several years now. I really like the consistency I've seen with velocity and SD across a wide spectrum of calibers and powders.

Find a local pro shop who can guide you with your setup, get your bow tuned, offer shooting lessons, etc. I personally prefer fixed blade broadheads over mechanical on large animals such as elk, but that is just me.

I have used inReach for years. I have used the larger 700i GPS inReach for the past 5 years. I really like the tracking feature where my wife can see where I am at when I'm out in the mountains by myself. I also really like the weather forecasting ability for my specific location. For fun I...

The Zwickey is a grand old broadhead and will do the job on your chosen animals.
