Later this month I'll be heading to a lake here in SW Colorado that is loaded with crawdads. I'll be taking a couple of traps and should catch a lot of them little buggers. I was wanting to hear from any of you that do a boil on them...what is you favorite spice to use. Our local markets don't...

Received my refunds for Moose and Desert Sheep in the mail today. Those that didn't draw should be getting their too.

The weather sure is wet here in the SW part of the state. Our snowpack was great and runoff is getting well along. Our local lakes are getting full and everything looks like a great spring. It has been raining of & on for several weeks which just adds to our moisture. I have only irrigated a...

UH got me thinking about just the opposite of his post. What shot did you take that you wish you could take back? For me the one that really stands out was on a buck deer many years ago. My Dad and I were hunting in the coast range of southern California inland from Ventura. We had just started...

For those of us who enjoy taking and looking at photos of wildlife and outdoor scenery, this months issue of "Wyoming Wildlife" has a great story written by retired editor Chris Madson. It was really thought provoking and eye opening for me. The main theme was the ethics of the whole photography...

Some of you might remember that I was given an old Ford Tractor. It's a 1941 9N that is stock as far as I know. It sat all winter and I final got to work on it this week. Bought a new battery and tried to start it today. Started to crank over and then quit. Then the hot wire to the solenoid...

I just received a letter from "North Shore Agency" (a collection agency) notifying me that I owe money to them for a subscription to RIFESHOOTER for a subscription that I let expire. I tried the magazine for one year and found out it wasn't what I expected, so I let it expire. This is a scam...

I've been butchering and cooking my wild game for 50 years with great success. A friend suggested I try something different preparing some venison I shot last fall. I cut backstrap steaks extra thick (1 1/2 to 2") and soaked them in buttermilk in the refer overnight. Removed them and put them...

Leaving in the morning to scout a new unit or 2 not all that far from my homeplace. The units I am looking at take around 10 to 12 points to draw and I have 15, so if I like what I see, I'll be hunting near home and burning my points.I'll be staying a couple of days, so I should have plenty of time.

I leave myself logged on when I leave the forum. Makes it a lot easier when returning later, don't have to enter user name and pass word. A couple of days ago my computer started logging me off when I leave. I did not change any setting or anything else that I know of. Anyone else have this...

I have already applied for my Desert Sheep, Elk & Moose tags. Point only for Deer this year, after burning all mine last year. All that is left is Antelope. Looking at a new unit and will be scouting it next month, just before tags are due. Going to spend 3 or 4 days with my spotting scope...

Got my brochure in the mail yesterday.

Don't know how many of you keep up with military arms, but the CMP (Civilian Marksmanship Program) has M1 Carbines available in a limited number. I just sent off my application this am. They are $685 for service grade & 625 for field grade. Pretty good price for something that is fun to shoot...

As hunters we are always asking the question "I wonder how much moisture my favorite hunting area is getting". Well the answer here in SW Colorado is LOTS! It has been snowing off & on since before Christmas. Got our first snow just before Thanksgiving just before 4th rifle season opening. Most...

Xtreme, one of our members who always gives great advice & information, is undergoing surgery this AM to repair a broken ankle. We should all wish him well and a speedy recovery. Take care Pard and get well soon, ready for 2016 hunting season!

I want to wish everyone at Eastman's, all of the posters on the Forum and especially their families a wonderful Christmas and Holiday Season along with a prosperous New Year with FILLED TAGS. Looking forward to another great year with everyone here on Eastman's Hunters Forum!!!:cool:

Bob Tanner, who owned Red's Meadows Resort & Pack Station passed away last week. I knew Bob when he first worked at red's in the summer of 1955 when I worked there for a summer while in high school. My family packed in deer hunting with him and his predesessor Arch Mahan for over 60 years. He...

Been awhile since I've shot them in Wyoming, as I remember no license or permit required. Right or wrong. Couldn't find anything in the regs.

I know, I know 2015 is still here but early in 2016 (really only a couple of months away) tag applications will be starting to come due. I have been doing a lot of thinking and pretty much have my year set....if my draw luck is good!!! Antelope - Will only be hunting Colorado, cashing in my 15...

Just returned home and had a great trip. Learned a lot about hunting this unit for deer, as this was the first time for me. Have hunted it for elk, but about 40 miles east of this deer area which is in the western part of the unit. First I'll start with the weather. We got there 2 days before...
