    Burger, breakfast sausage & brats.

    I used to use pork shoulder roast for fat and added meat. A buddy in Alaska told me about the bacon ends & pieces. We have a local smaller grocery store and the butcher ordered my a case of ends & pieces. 30# in 2# frozen packages. I paid $90.00 or $3.00/pound. You are right about the different...

    Knives

    I like at least 2 or 3 different blades for butchering. I have a big chefs knife that I use for cutting steaks and I use a smaller filet style to debone. The picture with this post has the knife I like for steaking and cutting up large chunks of meat. The picture was where I was cutting up...

    Ultimate sheep or backcountry rifle set up.

    I shoot deer with a Ruger M77, Leupold VXIII 4x14, in 25-06. I have shot it since 1970 when I bought it new, and have taken over 100 deer and probably 75 antelope with it. I have never hunted sheep, but wouldn't hesitate using it for them. I only shoot my own handloads with 117 gr Sierra BT...

    Long range rifle build advice

    Assuming you will be using it for elk and larger animals, .30 cal is great. I use a .300 Wby for elk & larger, 25-06 for everything smaller. I have taken probably 100 + deer and 75 or so antelope with the 25, I love it. My Weatherby is really great too.

    Proposal WY G&F Unlimited Elk Tags

    If the ranchers/farmers really wanted to solve THEIR problem with the over population of elk, they would let hunters hunt on their property for little on no trespass fee.......and that ain't gonna happen!

    Gun Range Lead Cleanup/Reclamation

    Our rifle/pistol club has an outdoor range (one of the largest in SW Colorado) that we want to remove and recycle the lead/copper residue from years of shooting. Do any of you have experience with this? We are looking for a contractor to do the work. I have found lots of them online, but am...

    CPW

    I was working for Lone Mesa State Park in their office in Dolores when the merger was announced. The head ranger at that time said that it would only benefit the Parks side and take money from the Wildlife side. His prediction was spot on IMHO!

    CPW

    He actually was not a member, but was nominated by the Governor. There are/were 3 vacancies on the Commission that the Governor nominated people who were really not seen as qualified by the hunters, fisherman and outdoor enthusiasts. The other 2 are assigned to committee hearings for...

    Draw Process Working Group Recommendations on Primary Draw Methods & Preference Points

    How do you know that residents would not be able to fill all the type A tags? Lots of residents only apply for point when they know they don't have enough points to draw what they want.....I am one of them! The new secondary draw is taking care of tags that are not drawn. I applied for 4 each...

    Draw Process Working Group Recommendations on Primary Draw Methods & Preference Points

    First we are not talking about HUNTING LICENSES, we are talking about big game tags! Recount and tell me the difference. I don't think that the DIY western hunters have turned against one another and a handful of unwanted tags. Each state has "a handful of WANTED big game tags that are in high...
