Some of the guys from my deer camp used to go the Sask. to shoot geese and ducks. They would come back almost bloody and bruised from all the shooting. The one time I was invited, I had a work conflict, and age and poor health eventually ended those hunts. I wasn't much of a shotgunner back...

I've stayed out of this discussion since I have nothing invested in WY other than antelope/deer/elk. I do buy the Super Tags, but that is a straight up raffle. Hilltops musing on rolling NR points into other species would completely change the odds that are already becoming out of reach for us...

Marcus; Did you misspell the Motor City name on purpose? It may have been a Freudian slip, but either way it is appropriate.

I was browsing on Midway yesterday, and saw that they have some of the hard to find ammo (from US mfg.) in stock. Prices were still high, but no where near where they were a short while ago. 9mm and 223/556 are not back to my price point yet, but will be ready to order when they are.

If the snippy snip is what I think it is, you may very well be getting all the cardio you need just in your daily activities. I went to karate class the day after mine, but looking back, it was a foolish thing to do. Sorry, but I don't have any pictures.

I've looked at some cancellation hunts, but the $$$$ are still far higher than I am willing to pay. I do have a fly-in fishing trip on August 14th that I hope to make. I have also been looking at a Sutton River trip. There's sea run Brook Trout galore in late August/early Sept. To add to the...

It looks like it's official; the border is opening to US folks crossing into Canada effective August 9th. Proof of vaccination is required. I have a fly-in fishing trip scheduled for August 14th, and am waiting for the outfitter to verify that the trip is a go. This trip was a back-up plan...

It's great to have a recent hunt story posted along with some excellent photos. The season is coming up and hope to see some more. Good job.

Home mortgage rates were 8 1/2 to 9 1/2 percent for many years, and my first mortgages were in that area for my first 3 homes. I had a 10% fixed mortgage for the first new house that I built, and was considering lowering the rate with a variable rate. That was in 1979, and it was a good thing...

I don't get it either Buzz. I've been looking at real estate in WY for almost 20 years, and it appears to be going the way much of the west has.......what I would call Californicated. I was all set to move to northern Idaho after my truck broke down while on a family trip around 1985, and I...

We stop at Pond's for lunch sometimes while snowmobiling out of Island Park. I've never stayed there, but it looks like a decent place and the food is good.

I just received the AGC Kodiak Cub that I had ordered after checking out several reviews (including this one). Looks good, and will try it out this fall on a Colorado elk hunt.

I have always been ready to go over the next hill, even when good sense would tell me that I shouldn't. The main difference now that I am in spitting distance to age 69, is that I am not compelled to kill something on every trip. Our plan for this year's CO elk hunt is to backpack a couple...

They will love the 7mm-08. I gave mine to my grandson a couple years ago, and he has already shot a deer with it. Now all you have to do is find some ammo. I had bought 7mm-08 ammo whenever it was on sale, and was suprised to find 15 boxes in my ammo safe when I gave the rifle to him. So...

"Stupid is what stupid does. That's what my mama used to say."

After watching a variety of bino harness/pack reviews (including the AGC review on this forum), I ordered an AGC and received it in the mail in just a few days. Looks good, and will be trying it out on a cow elk hunt in October. I did have to remind myself several times to NOT get one of the...

I had to laugh Scott when I looked at the picture, wondering why a half eaten ice-cream sandwich was on your new bench. Upon further inspection, I saw that it was a folded over piece of sandpaper. If you eat that for desert, then you are sure one tough SOB.

I would guess that the vast majority of NRs who actually hunt in Wyoming are like me and only use their points to draw a GENERAL area tag, in areas that residents can hunt every year if they don't draw a limited tag. My age and point creep are coming together to close off that option one of...

BC; You da man BUFF BOY!! For 40 years I told myself that anyone that I couldn't beat up I could at least out run. You are a definite exception.

I spent the day digging out a cracked sewer line to my guest cabin. I can't use the backhoe because of the intact water line in the same trench. I will be back at it and keep on digging until I find solid pipe. You don't need expensive exercise equipment as long as you have a shovel (or a...
