I’m fixing to do the same...I might need another stimulus if my wife and kids and I draw to many tags!

Well said. I am not an expert on it but without ag subsidies to keep production level and stable our food prices and availability would fluctuate wildly. And no, everyone can’t survive by eating game meat, it takes big time ag with tremendous production to feed 330 million Americans. Of...

I think you are confusing two different things - Ranchers and Landowners. Sometimes they are the same fella, sometimes not. I don’t see any issue with throwing landowners a bone based on what their property supports.

No doubt there is a tremendous animus on some popular forums towards landowners, ranchers and outfitters. I would venture to guess some of it stems from negative encounters with jerks from those industries, but I would guess that most of it stems from a vastly different viewpoints of those who...

It would be unpleasant to shoot prone without the brake. Shooting a 215 grain Berger @ 3000 FPS. Mine came with a radial brake that was terrible, blew dirt everywhere, I switched it to a side discharge and it was a huge improvement.

I’d like to jump in on this thread...seems the last 3 or 4 months I have gained a significant amount of gravity - almost 4 months (Nov-Feb) of our fat man style of whitetail & quail hunting does that to me most years. Expecting to draw a good CO deer tag this year so I Started back in gym for...

Went through all my pics, there is only one I could find of me shooting off a bipod - though I shoot off of one quite a bit. This pic is me with my 30 Nosler with a Modular Evolution bipod on it, the rifle in the foreground is my buddy’s 28 Nosler with a Javelin bipod.

Yes, you have to pay it all up front in NM. You will get the tag fee back if unsuccessful but not the license fee. It can be quite a gamble if you put in multiple family members. I think by the time I get myself, my wife and both kids entered for elk, deer and antelope it’s something like...

I really don’t think the price is that big of an issue, if WGFD needs to raise prices to be solvent and have the resources to manage wildlife then by all means, hunters (and anglers) need to foot the bill. I’m not an expert on Wyoming wildlife but if they are actively pursuing ways to increase...

Right on about hunter recruitment. a lot of folks talk about “hunter recruitment”, few actually recruit hunters. I personally believe that getting young people exposed to hunting will at the least make them somewhat aware of hunting related issues by the time they get to be voting aged...

That certainly makes this sound better than it did at first.

I would bet that the vast majority of the applicants in the guided pool are non-residents, this bill will make the non-residents odds decrease significantly (essentially a 37% drop in NR tag #’s) and give a very slight increase to residents. Guys who want to go guided will still be putting in...

Are you serious???

I have separate binoc and rangefinder, but once I don’t have anything better to spend my money on I’ll buy a pair of Swaro EL range.

I’ll give it a shot smoking a whole ham low and slow this weekend or next.

We have tons of Javelinas down here, I’ve tried to cook them every which way and I’m just not a big fan of their meat. One scent gland tainted bite can make you think you’re eating skunk a-hole. That said, hunting them in the Arizona hills sounds like a blast. I do have four quarters of...

I had no idea baiting was allowed in Utah on public land but baiting on public land seems like a terrible idea to me. I’m from Texas and most of our deer hunting is done by baiting deer (on private land) and there is no doubt that baiting/feeding wildlife can drastically alter their behavior...
