Just to clarify one other common misconception- any tag drawn as a "first choice" no matter how it's actually drawn, (points or random) will burn your points total to ZERO. A second or third choice tag, and a left-over tag will NOT burn any of your preference points for that specie. G-

Inside the computer of the Wyoming draw process, the points draw is actually conducted first, then the random draw is conducted for those who did not draw the tag in the preference point draw. That's why when an area's points requirement drops down to zero points, the preference point applicants...

Is it where gun ownership in this county is headed as well, perhaps?

They say CA is ahead of the rest of the country by 5-10 years on most of these political issues. I certainly hope this does not follow that rule. I believe this is all connected and all a part of a larger plan nationwide. I will be doing a follow-up blog about how all of these pieces fit...

Diamox is the prescription medication for altitude sickness. They usually couple that with a prescription for Cyalis. You have to start taking the Diamox a day or two before you ascend. I believe all the other stuff is just hype, they don't really do anything a few glasses of water and a couple...

Hey guys, Working on a bit of a political piece for the E-news later this spring. I have been talking to a lot of guys and studying a lot of the preference point systems out there this past few weeks. I'm beginning to wonder if we have taken these systems too far? Every system seems to be...

Hello Fellas', I just wanted to get on here and "clear the air" a bit on the digital MRS delivery concerns. So here's the deal in a not so nutshell- The digital world is a crazy place. Sometimes the seemingly easy things can be very complex, very costly and much more time consuming than one...

Sorry for the website outage fellas'. A server farm down in UT had one of their massive routers pick up a virus that infected their system pretty bad I guess. Normally they would push the site to another farm, but the virus forced them to keep the data in quarantine as a precautionary measure...

We are ready to start, here is the first question from Ikeepitcold: What do you think is the top three pieces of gear a new western hunter should have in their arsenal?
