    An explanation of residents frustration

    I agree w/ the article. As a non resident and now a resident there is a difference in tag allocation. I could draw a elk tag every other year in a specific unit as a non resident. As a resident it takes 3-4 points to draw the tag ! We need to have a state constitutional right as residents to...

    Where is everyone?

    I think people, including me get tired of politized & industrialization of hunting. We get frustrated ! There is too many "groups" that think they know what is best for the animals & the consumer . Money, sustainability, residency, natives to the land, ( ie Alaska) outfitters, etc all have a...

    Why the animosity?

    Pretty HOT topic. Interesting to hear all the perspectives. I see the passion on both sides . I have had several run ins w/ ranchers & farmers, some good but most of them bad. Therefor I must put the skid chain on my tongue and just read .

    Portable Bear Fence in Grizz country?

    Warmest socks or boots for cold weather sits

    The bunny boots BETA.. I don't think they make them any more but I could be wrong... Use a merino wool liner w/ a heavy wool thorlo sock. I would 1 size bigger to let circulation around my foot and ankle and to let moisture out of the top.. I would ice fish with this set up up to 8 hours...

    2020 Antelope Success Thread

    I don't think it much of a story... The last pronghorn I harvested was when I was 17 & I am now 48 going on 49. I guess the common denominator is that I have shot them w/ my Dad's pre 64 Winny 06 feather weight. I will give a shout out to Colorado Cowboy for PM about the unit ... It took...
