States don't want to give up the revenue from the points. Using Wyoming as an example- Moose and sheep points create substantially more revenue than the permits do. Moose permits only bring in a little over 100k per year but point purchases for moose create over 1.5 million dollars. It's...

It's crazy- seriously. My wife and I don't make over 150k but we are doing just fine financially. In our 40s and house is paid off and almost no debt at all. We didn't need a bailout and most that I know didn't need it either.

I received too much. Looking into what I'm supposed to do and not finding many answers. Should have been $4,200 but received $5,600. I think they gave me credit for my 21 (almost 22) year old. Our government isn't impressing right now...:rolleyes:

Rich, The reality is the 90/10, if it passes, isn't going to impact antelope much at all. However, fear of the impact will make a lot of people burn their points. I expect to see point dumps for the next several years, regardless of any changes. The supply just can't meet current demand so...

Search on here. Large thread about it all a couple weeks ago. The bill failed to pass for now.

Not sure if I will hunt yet but my youngest will for sure. I found him what appears to be decent private land to hunt on so I have high hopes for the youth opener - April 10th.

There were some good people that were really helped by the stimulus. The problem is that was only about 10% of the money that went out. The rest was a complete waste imo. Some of the ways our tax dollars were spent should be a crime. Our kids will pay the bill back for years and that is the...

Three points doesn't buy you what it once did. The goal posts are definitely moving. What you can draw this year with 2 points may be the exact same hunt you will be able to draw with 5 in 2025. As Mallard mentions above, a lot of people will be dumping points this season due to anticipated...

Anything involving youth and the outdoors would get my vote. Not everyone has a kid but everyone can take a kid shooting or hunting.

Because they all heard this guy was around?

Thank you! I'll be sure to leave a review for all to see. This was great timing as I broke my bipod on my main rifle this past fall so it will be put to use right away.

Have seen some of that. It's sad... but extremely rare. Over 99% of athletes that had Covid got over it relatively quickly and most were able to be competing again in 1-2 weeks. I hate that our media focuses on the less than 1%. I am of the opinion that our country needs to move...

There are a lot of tough situations that the hunting community is facing. I believe almost all are a result of significantly higher demand than there are opportunities. Anytime hunters see additional opportunities lost, there will be a lot that are unhappy. As to the Montana landowner tags...

Nice to see you coming around Gr8. I agree, she absolutely has the right to choose medically what happens to her body.

Yes. They make barrel condoms and other covers. I have always used electrical tape because it is very durable and always in my truck.

Electrical tape is cheap insurance to keep the inside of your barrel free of snow/rain/dirt.

Not sure I would trust that dude with the widows peak and the ice pick of a syringe to be anywhere close to me.

Yes, the only LQ elk tag I have ever held. I have no intention of ever doing it again. The hunt was great but waiting all those years without elk hunting was a huge regret.

There is still a virus? My small community has been problem free for a couple months now and literally everything is back to normal. All mask mandates are gone, all attendance at events are wide open, etc... Sure hope the rest of you guys end up in the same position soon.

Pic before, during and after my shot on my 350" desert bull. Picture of the elk is zoomed in a bit- it was 477 yards. 30-06 with 165 grain Hornady Interbonds. DRT
