Moved to Wyoming 5 months ago and I’m trying to scout for elk for next year rifle season. So far near rock springs I’ve seen a lot of old scat, a metric shit load of prong horn, but no elk! And recommended areas within 1.5 hrs of rs. I’m thinking maybe steamboat mountain?

Hi friends! I'm excited to explore southern WY this September 20–23. I'll be focused on the best trout fishing I can find. Can anyone offer tips on good spots I may be able to disperse camp for free streamside (100+ feet away, of course)?

I am happy to car camp or hike in up to a few miles and prefer seclusion/scenery and optimal fishing where possible. I will be fishing the North Platte in its various sections from the CO border up to the Gray Reef area north of Alcova. I'm also interested in the Encampment River and potentially doing some day hikes to lakes in the Medecine Bow-Routt National Forest. I presume it will be too cold to camp at elevation, but welcome any input.

Are there additional streams worth checking out in the region? I sincerely appreciate any advice or PMs for fishing and camping both and anything else of note in the area. Thank you!

I'm from South Texas, for reference. I noticed a lot of foreigners flood to Texas for the cowboy experience. Whenever I say I'm from Texas, I get asked the inevitable and stereotypical cowboy questions. They get skeptical when I say I live in an area full of palm trees and everybody speaks Spanish.

I visited San Antonio rodeo not long ago, and I only heard foreign languages around me. Bandera, TX, the cowboy capital of the world, seems to get more European tourists than Americans. I even asked the owner there why. He said "They come here to play cowboy." I look around Hill country and ask myself, "what's cowboy about this?" Sure, there are ranches, but you can find those anywhere lol. Hill country to me is a hilly, green area with mesquite trees, full of bodies of waters where you can go swimming or tubing. But to many people's mind, they think Texas it's a big desert with monument Valley and Arches and you ride your horse in the sunset. Maybe this is slightly true in far West Texas (Big Bend NP), but the rest of Texas? yikes. I even consider East Texas an extension of Louisiana. Honestly, I think I can get a better cowboy experience in Coahuila, Nuevo Leon or Chihuahua than Texas.

Why is Texas seen as a cowboy place? In my opinion, and I feel many know this, Wyoming is the place to go for a true cowboy experience. Do you get a lot of foreigners over there trying to play cowboy?

Your lawmakers don’t want you have contraception.

I love road perspectives

Why? What draws you to our state?

I'm genuinely curious.

I'm from Charleston South Carolina An i'm thinking about moving to wyoming in 3 to 4 yr, if not sooner. basically i want to get out of South Carolina because I'm tired of the East Coast. I'm more of open space a little bit of people type of person. I'm the type of person who love to be able to shoot my guns. Go hunting fishing hiking, kayaking stuff like that, but in south carolina, it's hard to do, especially on the coast. I heard it's windy out there, but wind don't bother me, i'm from the coast Where we get hurricanes, strength winds all the time down here, which is a At times it's from 60 to 90 mph. And that all depends on the strength of the storm. A hurricane season starts like april all the way to november, which, even if you don't get a hurricane, you still get, it's tropical storms and stuff here on the coast, which Massive wind. I don't really mind a cold. In fact, I prefer it over the heat. We get here with the humidity.What's is absolutely positively horrible. And I am definitely looking for a change of scenery. So I just need to know what I would need to prepare myself to get up there. And when it comes to jobs, i've been a professional barnhand since 07, so I can probably get a farming job pretty easy. I also have some electrical experience.

Am planning a loop trip through Wyoming and Montana. Here's the route: Start at Billings, Little Big Horn, Rochester, route 14 west to Cody, up 120/296 to Cooke City, Lamar Valley, return on 212 to Billings. Interests are history and nature. Would appreciate recommendations for places to visit, especially little known gems, and lodging. Also, anything I should be aware of safety wise and weather for mid Oct? Thanks so much!

Howdy from your southern neighbor.

Me and some guys have been setting up some quick road trips. We’ve thought about the Tetons in the October time as we have a long break there. What can we do around that area during that time, as I heard from some people lots of things are closed and camping is bad. Is it just not a good time to go? Or can I still camp and do a lot of things? Thank y’all.

Hello, I am thinking of doing a PhD program at university of Wyoming. I was just wondering if there is useful information for me to know. How is the parking situation? Live in Laramie or should I live in Cheyenne and commute? What is life like over there? Thanks!

Hello neighbors of Wyoming. We live in southeastern Idaho, in a tiny town. I'm considering a job offer in Green river, it's a lot more money. I'm asking what it's like to live in Green River. Our town is incredibly small (900) and for the most part it's ok. We have 7 kids and love the outdoors. What's the weather like, how are the people, schools, restaurants and shopping looks to be 100x better than what we have now. Thanks
