    I'll wait until January 31st. No reason to let them have my money any longer than they already hold it.

    Wolves

    Doing a little research this morning. Since they classified these under 10j (experimental reintroduction), they are essentially saying the wolves near Walden are not enough to consider a population. There is evidence there are or were more than the 2 males they say live near Walden but I now...

    Antelope Breakfast Sausage

    I went through that with 2 teenage boys in the house. I think our highest year, we went through about 80lbs of breakfast sausage. They loved their breakfast... we are at about 25lbs a year now with just 3 of us. One half pound pack a week give or take.

    Antelope Breakfast Sausage

    The salt free thing is really a bummer. I have so many good recipes that my Dr is telling me I shouldn't eat now. Frustrating. I'll post what I come up with- going to be making some in the next week.

    General Elk

    The special tag increased to just over 2k with the credit card fee. Not sure on the %. 50/50 was discussed but not sure if that part went through?

    General Elk

    I believe the higher prices special, with increased tags in that, goes into effect for 2024 as well. If a guy doesn't mind spending 2k, guessing those odds will be pretty decent for all regions. Of course, that will drive point creep for the lower priced regular general tags. I'll apply in...

    Private land for older/Mobility Impaired?

    It's a terrible TV show but if you ever watch Man vs Elk, they do most of their hunting from blinds. They drop hunters off on a UTV so the hunt is good for even people with no mobility. Here is a link to their hunts - https://www.theelkranch.com/Hunts

    Guided Bear Hunt Experiences?

    I have never really had the urge to go but my youngest really wants to bear hunt. He has a heart condition that keeps him out of high country and challenging terrain so we would likely need to do a guided spring hunt over bait in accessible country. Hoping to find something in the lower 48...
