Sorry, but I don't recall receiving that PM. I will look at the past PMs and see if I can find it. I am technically challenged, but the PM side of the forum is pretty straight=forward. I will send you a PM and you can respond. Just click on the envelope icon in the upper right corner; it...

Am slowly picking up my game. Speed hiking with the dog, 3 1/2 miles and will be adding the pack then upping the weight soon. I am guiding a 9 day canoe trip in the BWCA wilderness in 3 weeks where the crew generally has a goal of at least 100 miles. I don't want to crash & burn, but have...

COV. thanks for the heads up. The pts. required in the area that we had applied for (elk) stayed the same as last year. There has been continual upward movement as my partners were chasing points, but it stabilized a couple years ago. This is in the high demand/tag number units of 3/4/4/441.

It looks like us older Mickelson's are at the top of their game right now.

You are smoking it Marcus. As a past avid runner I will never poo-poo a guy who has come from where you were and can get to where you are today.

My two hunting partners drew their bull/any elk tags. Not suprising since it was a 3 to 4 pt. draw last year and they had 9 pts. The origional plan was to try for the MZL tag, but it's possible that they wouldn't have made the cut. 1st rifle is on the docket and in the bag.

Drew a cow elk tag.

I just checked...no e-mail yet, but I logged on to my account with the CO P&K, and saw that I was drawn and charged for the cow elk tag. I have to wait for my partners to contact me about their draw, as they applied separately for bull tags.

Well it looks like you are going moose hunting anyway. I suspect that you will enjoy going on this hunt with your son more than your own hunt.

I had an e-mail when I checked this morning. The first thing I read was "unsuccessful". CRAP Then I saw that it was just the deer pref. pt. that I applied for, and that the point was awarded. I expect to get the cow elk tag, but guess that I will have to wait another day to find out.

How does the 4 day draw work??? Do they just dribble the results out a little at a time, just to keep us frustrated and on edge???

No luck on the cow tag. I decided to throw some money back at WY and apply for a G deer tag with zero pts. What they hey at least there is a 3-4% chance for a random draw.

Congrats OObuck....another swing and a miss for me. Same thing on the WY cow elk draw.

I expect to be heading to CO with a cow elk tag in my pocket this year in a unit that takes 0-1 pt. I have 2 pts. so should be good. I hunted that unit with two friends in 2008, and they have been building pts. (with a few missed years) since then while I have been hunting every year. The...

WOW! Great find. As the line from "Escanaba in the Moonlight" goes......"Anything free is worth saving up for."

I gas up at a lot of truck stops while traveling, and even knowing that the truck drivers have to pass a "health test", I would guess than many of them are in the high risk category. I know that I couldn't spend the time that they do every working day of their lives without ending up weighing...

After the last .22 "shortage", I did just that and after the prices dropped I would buy one brick every few months. We used to shoot a lot, but not so much now, and found that I will likely never have to buy .22 shells again in my lifetime. I would like to shoot my .223/5.56 more, but will...

I find it odd that many are hyper-focused on reducing the weight of their rifle, some even getting to the sub-five pound weight, and then putting a mega-scope on top. There are advantages and trade-offs for everything you do. JimP covered it pretty well, and I agree that a 1x-4x, or a fixed...

A funny thing about running, if you've never done it except to get out of the rain you always wonder why the hell people do it because all it does is get you tired, sore, and feeling crappy. But, give it a chance and the good feelings take over, to the point of having a "runner's high" that...

Marcus, How the hell do you do 2 to 5K on a couch? I may have chased a few girls around one a few times. but my wife doesn't even try to run anymore , so the sport went out of it.
