    Opening The Can Of Worms...Coronavirus...

    I se.e... this points that LAST YEAR we had apron. 80,000. killed that is a lot. I guess it's like drinking and smoking. They both take a huge toll on our health care system and yet we are so used to it it doesn't get much thought.

    Your figures say different things. One says last year 80,000 people died in the US. The next line says somewhere between 12 and 56 thousand. Both state the source being the CDC. I know figures vary but something is amiss.

    Weirdest, oddest, creepiest thing you've seen, or heard.

    My sister and I were backpacking in northern California 1987 . One night some guys show up laughing and drinking and having a good time. They weren't Yahoos or anything we just knew they were there. The next day we passed by their campsite and they were all in wheelchairs. They had dragged...

    Jack O'Conner/Outdoor Life magazine

    I read Jack's writings in outdoor life in the 1960's. Now I have a bunch of his books and I'm always on the lookout for more. He writes in such a great style you feel as if you are there. Compared to todays tv shows he is MUCH more entertaining. I'm still looking for a good price on Sheep and...

    Wyoming HMA

    Have any of you hunted some of the many HMA's in Wyoming? Seems like a good place to DIY. I assume all the rules concerning draws and preference points would be the same but It looks like you could access some state and BLM land from these places. Or are they just overrun with hunters?
