In all my years hunting I have pretty much known just where I was, there were a few instances where I was slightly confused. But as far as private property was concerned I always knew if I was on it or not and always tried to avoid it if I could. When I first started hunting over 50 years...

It just gets more interesting all the time. As I was driving across Gore Pass the other day and today I had my fingers crossed that one would run across in front of my truck. But I never saw a thing.

I believe that this case was brought because some hunters built a portable ladder that they could use to go over a fence at the corner of private and public lands. Think of a square with 4 squares inside this square. With the top squares being public and private and the bottom squares being...

One problem with the GPS land quadrants is that they may be off just enough to confuse people. I can stand on one of my corner stakes and both of my mapping devices show it slightly off. One is OnX on my phone and the other is the chip in my GPS. But both show it close enough that I need to...

Took care of my tag this morning

Didn't go on my Utah muzzle loader hunt due to Dr appointments but in 2 weeks I'll be hunting antelope in Wyoming

Gut piles work, unless you are sitting on one and then they don't.

Not a expert and haven't done it either but you would think that if there are still bears in the area that they will be attracted to those jelly donuts and sweets that would be placed in a bait site. You have to figure that they are packing on the calories and won't pass up a free easy meal.

I think that the days of easy antelope tags in Wyoming are long gone unless you have access to private lands where they restrict the number of hunters. I spent 11 points this year for a antelope tag that you could draw with 6. The person who was going to go with me didn't have enough points but...

I saw the update a few hours ago. I know that as the storms have been passed through the I-70 area the last couple of week there has been a lot of lighting bouncing around the higher elevations.

My brother in law was a lot like you, he would take injections and hobble through the hunting seasons and then put up with the pain for the rest of the year. Being a electrician and the normal work activity didn't help very much. Then his doctor told him that it was time for the replacement...

I also sent them a few bucks and about all I got in return was them asking for more. I know that to get something like this going that money and people are needed but it appears that they didn't have the backers or so called ground pounders to get it pushed through. But the lack of petitions...

Just saw that this initiative died without getting very many signatures on their petition. From what they news reported last night they got less than 25,000 signatures. I'll have to admit that I never did see one of their petitions. I was down in Denver and hit a few sporting goods stores...

When I was doing a lot of archery hunting I never did use a rangefinder. Even when I got a fancy sight on a compound bow that had the little boxes on it to use. But then I have always limited my shots to 50 yards or less and for the last few years that I hunted it was 30 yards or less. I also...

We had a member on another forum who registered and then didn't come back for 12 years. Then like this one his first post was a scam post. I think that they just keep a list of the forums that they have joined, I know that my memory isn't that good to remember my username and passwords.
