Awesome photos - like usual!  Planning on making it out for the first time (hunting anyway) for elk next year and hope to see some of those sights myself.  Thanks for sharing

Build the road.  Build out our industrial infrastructure.  Reduce dependency on hostile nations.

Implement strict environmental oversight.  Mitigate damage.  Hold negligent parties accountable.

What is the problem with this?

Thanks, Bob.  It is always nice to see this thread.  Almost like your annual Christmas letter!

I look forward to this post every year, Bob.

Some of those pictures look to pretty to be real.

I'll revisit this thread several times to enjoy them.

So after the road is complete, the plan appears to be to build multiple open-pit mines. Even putting aside for a moment the "actual" and "potential" environmental impacts of just building/maintaining the road, contemplate the "actual" and "potential" negative impacts of having just one open pit mine, let alone multiples...We all know accidents will happen. if this goes through, don't kid yourselves, they will be taking a huge dump on the whole region with negative impacts that will have to be dealt with for a very long time.

Other Big Game / My 2025 Wyoming trip
« Last post by Bob33 on Today at 10:18:58 AM »
Every fall since 2005 I’ve made a trip to Wyoming to hunt big game. It started out with antelope. The majority of years it’s been for doe/fawn antelope; every few years I’ll hunt for a buck. In recent years it’s been more difficult to draw antelope licenses so I’ve added antlerless whitetail deer to the list. This year I did not draw any antelope licenses but was able to get four antlerless whitetail licenses.

I enjoy the trips and would probably go even if I couldn’t hunt. Each year I try to see or do something different. The last few years I’ve spent a couple days in Yellowstone on the way to or from Wyoming. Side trips on the “Red Grade” road and the “Red Gulch” cross-country trips were new this year.

Here are some photos I took along the way which remind me of another wonderful experience I had.

I have a friend in Wyoming with access to private land. The deer hunting went as hoped and I was able to fill the licenses rather easily with the longest shot being 200 yards which is a chip shot for my 257 Weatherby. The property I hunt has an abundance of deer and antelope:




I wanted to spend a little more time in small towns along the way this year.

Virginia City, Montana.


Ennis, Montana. It’s interesting to see how towns come to life at night.



Ten Sleep, Wyoming has the requisite components of a small western town: (1) Bar, (2) Liquor store, (3) American flag, (4) pickup trucks, even some older ones.




Buffalo, Wyoming at night.


Yellowstone is a wonder of geysers, water, and wildlife. The grizzly was quite a distance away but it was nice to see one. They are becoming more prevalent.








The scenery is something I never tire of.










Pronghorns are my favorite animal. I never tire or watching them, especially when they run.









Traffic is non-existent in most parts of the state. Here’s rush hour near where I hunt.


The overwhelming majority of Wyoming citizens and politicians support the Second Amendment and hunting. Guns are sold in some grocery stores.




There are so many things to love about Wyoming. I’m already making plans for 2026.

Thank you for all the helpful information. I will look into hunting the Yakama Reservation, and also areas near Royal City and Moses Lake.

Deer Hunting / Re: "Any Deer" GMU's - Proof of Sex?

I would say yes.

(2) It is unlawful to possess or transport big game animals unless evidence of the sex of the animal remains naturally attached to the carcass until the carcass is processed and/or stored for consumption.
(a) Evidence of sex means the head with antlers or horns attached or penis or testes of male big game animals or the head or udder of female big game animals any of which must be naturally attached to at least one quarter of the carcass or to the largest portion of meat.
(b) For the purpose of this rule, "stored for consumption" means at the final point of storage prior to consumption of the meat.
