    Off the Grid Question

    One problem that I have heard on using a generator is that unless you have a very secure location and building to place it into they tend to walk away. Our local shooting club purchased one a number of years ago and it was gone within a months time. Now if it is large enough to be required...

    Off the Grid Question

    i would check with a RV dealer and since you don't have power available keep it on a 12 volt DC system. You can get chargers for computers that work off of 12 volts or you can run a 12 volt DC to 110 volt AC inverter. For power I would look at a a minimum of 4 golf cart 6 volt batteries...

    Choices on application?

    I'm not totally sure how NM draw works, but I would list the unit that I wanted to hunt first no matter what the odds are. Then for the rest, I would put down units that I would settle for. But if their draw is anything like other state draws all the tags go in the first draw except for lesser...

    Best solar panel for RV

    I can't help much either but you would be better off with a bank of 6 volt golf cart batteries, say 4 of them. Two wired in series for 12 volts and then connected together in a parallel configuration to increase the amperage capacity with the 6 volt batteries wired in series while keeping...

    Mexico sues US Gun Manufacturers

    Anti gun judge or a majority of anti gun judges. It happens every day, perhaps not on firearms but other things. You need a court that is friendly to your cause if you want to win.

    Be Careful

    Glad you came out alright. Snow and ice can create a lot of surprises if we're not careful.

    Wolves

    No they just needed to start the importation of them here in 23. The article says 10-15 per capture year so the 10 that they released in December fulfilled 23 and then next year the 15 will do it for 24. There are suppose to be 30-50 total released.

    Hello from N. Idaho

    One thing with point game. If you want to make sure that you draw a tag this year look at units that require 1 or 2 fewer points than you have. I couldn't tell you how many hunters I have seen get disappointed when they find that they needed another point when they put in for a unit that only...

    Hello from N. Idaho

    Never been to it. From what I know of them and going to the one in Denver it is a big show for outfitters. There are some booths set up for selling things and food and a lot of mounted game animals. A number of the outfitter will have chances to win hunts but you have to really look at just...

    Hello from N. Idaho

    Welcome to the site, its been slow without hunting season going on but if you have any questions ask away. Quite a few members check in every now and then so the questions should get answered. I've lived in Colorado for 35+ years and have wandered around in units 44 and 35 quite a bit.

    What’s Everyone Doing?

    Thought that I would get on top of the snowstorm today so headed out and plowed my driveway and some sidewalks. 6" of nice fluffy snow and by the time that I got done there was another 1/2 inch back where I started. I'll head out this evening again and hit it again during a lull in the...

    Vista Outdoors Announcement

    Saw that when it first came out but it wasn't any big surprise. Everything out there has gone up in price and availability so ammo, or components were headed there anyway. I'm sitting pretty good with everything and quite likely I have enough of a lot of ammo to hold me over for a long...

    What’s Everyone Doing?

    Environmental Group is Buying Hunting Permits

    This is just another way that they are trying to disrupt the hunting industry. It is no different than when a couple of years ago they put in applications with everyone else for the grizzly permits that Wyoming was going to issue. They figured that they would just pay fee and then not hunt...

    NRA

    The problem that I see is once a organization gets large enough and they start taking in very large sums of money there is going to be corruption, I don't care who it is. Take a look at just about any non profit group and you will see that the vast majority of the money that is given to them...

    NRA

    I doubt that it will change very much with new leadership. I didn't notice much difference from the last few leaders. But some priorities may change.
