  1. Interesting. My recertification date fell into the gap where it was between 3 and 5 years since the license was issued (about 3.5 years). So it was not due to recertify until the new laws came into effect at which point it became overdue. I tried a few weeks ago to recertify and the website said I had to wait until at least 1 year before it was due. I tried it again just now and it allowed me to recertify, but I get the same message as above that it's due again in 5 years time, not 3.

    So they updated the website to allow recertification at the 3 year mark, but didn't update the text to reflect the 3 year requirement and it still refers to 5 years.

    Confusing!

    Totally agree.  i'm extremely lucky that my neighbors 'know everyone' and seem to keep an eye on my place.  Having a bad neighbor situation could easily ruin the experience.

    Even at 45 minutes from my house I was concerned about vandalism/theft at my camp. The first year or so I didn't leave anything of value behind. Now after a few years of no issues, and getting to know the neighbors, I have no concerns. I got lucky and ended up with great neighbors - if I was doing it again I would for sure try to meet the neighbors before purchase.

  3. I got 35 acres a few years ago for a steal and have had great success there. My main considerations were drive time from home (under 1hr), road frontage for access, the nature of the surrounding land being conducive for deer, and of course the price. The adjoining 65 acre parcel came up for sale this year and although I was tempted I couldn't justify spending so much for a hobby when the current parcel is working out just fine.

  4. I'm starting to plan a guided elk hunt in Wyoming but I have no idea where to begin - how to choose an area to hunt, or how to choose an outfitter.

    We have two preference points each and we're more interested in meat than trophies.

    Has anyone here done a Wyoming elk hunt and can they share their experience?

    I'm also curious what level of proficiency I need with my rifle. All my shots on whitetail here are under 50yds so I never practice at the range at more than 100yds.
