    Colorado DIY

    You can get a muzzle-loader elk or deer tag in many areas that don't require a lot of points, especially if you just apply for a cow tag. It will get you out hunting at least. You can look at all the stats on the Parks & Wildlife website and see what the odds are to draw (with your pts.) and...

    Night Vision Optics

    They might be really handy trying to find your way into the bathroom for your middle of the night pee expedition. I know that I could have used it a few times myself. You young guys will understand someday.

    The Memes Thread!

    I knew that you would eventually find a good one if you kept on trying Gr8.

    Antelope Rangefinder

    Advances in optics have left me behind, and I was just about to make a major purchase on a major brand name stabilized bino before finding out that it was made in China. There are quality choices out there without spending big bucks to cut our own throats. My Leupold 1000TBR still works for...

    Ouch!!! Those spur of the moment stress relievers are a big help sometimes. I've often said that sweat is the greatest tranquilizer for the mind. I guess that adrenalin works too. Ride on.

    You can accomplish the same by pushing yourself away from the table. The bigger the table and the more on it, the more it seems just like a bench press. Believe it or not, Arnold Schwartzenegger (SP?) personally taught me the proper way to do dumbell flys and the bench press. That was way...

    Plowed another foot of snow off of my mile long driveway yesterday with another 8" predicted today. Not much of that constitutes "exercise", but the hour of shoveling later made up for it. I can finally able to get a glove over my wrapped up thumb, so will do some snowmobiling later today...

    I would be stuck with riding a fat tire bike all winter in NE MN. On the weight/exercise front, my exercise routine has been put on hold due to a minor shop accident that involved a trip to the emergency room on Christmas eve day......But, somehow I was able to get my weight back to 180# even...

    2021' Review

    Cripes those are incredible bucks. You've defineatlly paid you dues, and on occasion reaped the rewards, but I can agree with you that the process itself is the reward. Happy hunting.

    Wilderness horse back hunt

    Having no points will make this search much more problematic. You could book a hunt in an OTC hunt in CO, which is what I did on my first guided hunt. In WY, a elk NR GEN tag took <4pts in 2021, and the tags in the G & H deer areas have gotten so tough to draw that I will never get there...

    Your Best Bulls!!!

    That might have just ruined her. If it happens again, you should just hang up your bow / guns and start filming her hunts.

    My sled pard is still waiting on his snow-checked 850 Turbo Ski-doo. The dealer told him that they are "hoping" to have it delivered sometime in January. He will take his 2019 850 to Idaho if necessary and then trade it in with a lot more miles on it. After an air evac. a couple years ago...

    Missing some forum friends

    "Central location?" Sounds like Chicago or St. Louis. If that's the case, then count me out.

    Where is everyone?

    Part of the time delay is due to issues with getting hides tanned. I brought a lion to my local Taxi last January, and a beaver to a furrier and both places are a full year behind just waiting for hides to came back from the tannery. The Taxi has over 20 bears from 2020, and has just sent in a...

    The 800 RMK is a 2015 model that I bought from a friend who gets a new sled every two years...it had 1,700 miles on it. It puked at 4.2K as I was loading it on the semi in Idaho after a week in the mountains (600+ miles.) It now as 7.2K on it. I now add a smidgen of oil directly to the gas...

    Where is everyone?

    The taxidermist did an excellent job on the extremely rare and possibly extinct Moobedowl. He has since retired, so I will probably not try to shoot another one.

    Well, the shack get-to-gether was a bust. My partners cancelled out, but I rode in anyways. 10 miles on an unplowed road, 17" of fresh snow, no tracks other than moose...perfect. I did do some shoveling, so the exercise part was covered. Here's some pics.
