If you think that you are going to save much money hunting and eating venison, then forget it. For most it is all in the negative cash flow area. Unless you can drive out and shoot a animal and then have it home to butcher yourself it is going to cost you money. But a person needs a hobby.

I know on the electric saw that my friend will call it a day after both of his batteries die on him, he may work longer now since he also has a electric lawn mower that takes the same batteries. He has a solar cell set up at his camp where he can connect them to charge the next day.

As I try to describe about any different meat to people who have never tried it is that it is all different. How do you describe mild or strong? I have had some mule deer meat that has a very mild taste compared to some, if it is taken at a different time of the season it's flavor can vary...

I didn't watch the whole video but there are times that a chainsaw is the best recourse to clear a trail. Without looking at the actual regulations I wonder how a electric one would do for this work? I have a friend who uses one and with a couple of batteries he does a pretty good job of...

I just searched Camofire and the site popped up. All they had was turkey calls. I checked for my account and I need to set up a new one so they might be up and going.

Emails are going out for the draws. All I got was my Lifetime deer tag where I'll be hunting the muzzle loader season on the Manti unit

Here is a link to the story. It is more about areas where hunting and trapping is already happening. https://kslnewsradio.com/environment-outdoors/trump-is-quietly-lifting-restrictions-on-hunting-in-national-parks-refuges-and-wilderness-areas/2300744/

Hold onto your shorts for this one. Points for deer, pronghorn, and elk are going up to $75 https://wgfd.wyo.gov/news-events/commissioners-vote-increase-non-resident-preference-point-prices

Kamas is just a hard unit to hunt. The cover is very thick and the deer are usually found away from the roads so hiking in a ways is involved. A lot of the area towards the southern boundary is developed and is off limits to hunters who don't have access to private. The last time I hunted it...

A lot could have to do with the unit. A unit that depends on the migration may be real good if you hit it right, or hit it wrong and you might not see a thing. I was down in the Abajo Mountains a number of years ago and the migration was done and over with by the time that the general season...

It's just that parents let their kids do stupid things even when they are suppose to be in control. But this is a good reason for hunters education that I thought that every state requires. Perhaps not, but still 3 years old is way too young.

I was shooting a 22 when I was 4 or 5, I remember shooting it at least when I was 5. I shot my first big game rifle right after my uncle gave it to me on my 5th birthday. It was so eventful that I remember sitting on my dads lap with the rifles barrel out the window, but not much after that. I...

I'm all for the mentoring programs that states have but this one is stretching it a little bit too far.

After a dozen years I have finally gotten rid of most of the gear that I didn't use. Anymore I can pack for just about any hunt that I want to do and that includes the gear for my creature comforts. It's still funny that I'll find a box out in the garage with stuff that I thought that I would...

I'd do some scouting on Google Earth and look for stock watering tanks or basins along side or just off of roads
