    Yeti Coolers cuts all ties with NRA

    Just saw a press release that Yeti has cut all ties with the NRA. I don't own any, but sure as hell won't buy anything with the Yeti label on it now. Too many other products out there that do a great job for a lot less money!

    Amercan Hunter story on "Trophy Hunters"

    The story entitled "We are Trophy Hunters" n the latest February issue really got my blood boiling. The author Joe Coogan obviously has lots of Africa hunting ties. His whole story never once mentions the aspect of killing a game animal for eating purposes. All he talks about is horns, claws &...

    PM's asking for information.

    Been getting a lot of PMs from people not registered and no posts on the Forum asking for information. I usually won't give them anything until they are officially a Forum member and have introduced themselves. Even then I keep pretty closed mouth, it just kinda irritates me. Just wondering...

    Hunting Conditions in SW Colorado & SE Utah

    Just returned from a scouting trip for 4th season elk in SW Co & SE Ut. Condition have sure changed a lot since I was there in mid July. Most of the snow from a couple of weeks ago is gone and it is pretty dry. What is the most shocking thing is the lack of feed. Grass is gone, there are no...
