Greetings from Laramie, WY

[Cornell Cowboy]

Hello from Laramie, WY. I've checked in on this forum off and on over the years. Just booked my first hunt in Africa for summer 2024, so I'm on here more often now in hopes of picking up some good tips.

I mostly hunt elk, deer, and antelope in my home state of Wyoming. But I've killed some whitetails and a wolf outside the state.

I just finished my wyomings applications this week-hope I get to come putter around in October. Africa is a great adventure, planning is part of the fun!

@Firebird is spot-on w/ the comment … planning your African Adventure is part of the fun & it appears you’re on the trail w/ Country, Operator & Date!

*Tip: make Taxidermy an important part of your planning & regardless of where you intend to have the finishing work done. A proper, well established Taxidermy Co. & partnered Shipping Co. in Africa is required for Permits, Dip/Pack or Finished Work & transport out - poor planning and/or short cuts (no ….) can be disastrous for the End Game.

Welcome! Spent 2 months up in Rock River, Wyoming on a dinosaur dig in 2007. Travelled to Laramie several times. Nice country out there.

Welcome! I grew up just over the hill from you over at Encampment.

Welcome to AH Cornell Cowboy!

You live in my favorite place to be!!

I lived up there for 14 years, after being stationed at F.E. Warren AFB.
I’m going to return someday.

I’ve hunted everything you’ve hunted, up in the Snowy Range, just outside of Fox Park.

Glad you’re on here!
There are a lot of knowledgeable people on this forum.

Welcome! I grew up just over the hill from you over at Encampment.

I think they'll be opening the pass soon, so we'll make our yearly pilgrimage to Saratoga to hit the hot springs and the ice cream shop!

I will definitely look into this carefully -- others have said very similar things as well, so I think it must be a real challenge.
