I now live only 50 miles from Ely. After I retired from law enforcement, I was able to spend seven summers as a wilderness canoeing guide in the area and two provinces of Canada. Like much of rural America, Ely is struggling economically. Tourism doesn't pay all the bills, and the Feds...

When I was in high school and living in Ely, Minnesota, my older brother bought a Ruger MK 1 .22 at the local Coast to Coast hardware store for $44. He later sold it to me for $50 and thought he had made the deal of the century. I sold it 20 years later for $125 and thought the same. I am...

Absolutely nutso Tim.......but I'm jealous.

You're gonna need a bigger house. Nice Jim.

I don't care either, and wasn't even aware that it was last night. Big, big, big money ruined the game. I still like high school and some college FB. (Football not facebook).

The distance wasn't too far, but we had a vertical gain of over 2,500 ft. that included climbing a cliff. It took us about 6 1/2 hours to get to our campsite, and we were completely bushed by the time we got there. My best buck came after I spiked out from camp an additional 1,300 ft. higher...

I have hunted H five times since 2009, the first two hunts were guided in a wilderness area, and the last 3 I backpacked into some very rugged country. During that time, I have experienced a reduction in mature bucks, an increase in backcountry hunters, and a big inflation in NR points required...

I agree with CC; listing the state or province is basic information. After thinking WOW!! the next thing I noticed was the lack of the state. Let them be published elsewhere, but Eastman's disappoints me as far as this issue goes.

Yeah, I could....but only for a much larger model (tent that is.)

I really want one of those, but I already have a good tent.

I know where you live Jim....thanks for the insider info. I should be able to draw that tag when I'm 97.

The guy who won the 1.2 billion lottery has to spend it on something other than strip clubs and alimony. For a good cause in the end.

You mitigate the tartness by adding sugar, but it is a fine line before it is too sweet. Ice cream makes a tart pie perfect, but my mother made a strawberry rhubarb pie that covered all the bases. You have to do something with rhubarb as it's one of the first things to start growing in the far...

I've got 0 points. If anyone has 26 points to share, I'm all set.

Better yet...bear fat. Just don't tell the in-laws while they're enjoying desert.

Rose-ann Rose-anna Dana was right, "It's always something!"

Thanks for the data dump elkguide.

I made my wife's favorite...Philly Cheese-steak sandwiches out of one of the tenderloins last night. They were excellent, but were still a bit chewy for TLs. I picked up 60 lbs. of sausage from the local processer, and will likely convert what whole meat I have into burger or sausage at some...

We had our first steak from the cow, and that old gal was the toughest piece of wild game that we have ever chewed on. It still tasted good. That was a piece out of the rump and we just fried it up to medium rare, so I hope that the backstraps are better. We'll just make sure to marinade...

IKC When viewing the latest pics that you posted I marveled at the increased ground clearance as well as the extra space the front tires have from the wheel well. I had some real gumbo clogging issues with my stock Ranger when antelope hunting in WY, and occasionally had to winch out of some...
