    Colorado National Parks - family vacation

    damn...I wish you would have said a little more of your plans. You were right at my place when you visited Mesa Verde. Could have taken you to lunch. You are seeing some of the greatest parts of Colorado for sure. A great trip!

    Anyone Else Had Cataract Surgery?

    Went today for my 1 week checkup. I have 20/20 vision and the Doc said everything looks great. I don't have to go back again.

    Question...Starter Gun For Kids?

    I started with a single shot .22. My first big game rifle was a 30-06. I started my son with the same .22 I used at about 5 years old. Bought him a single shot 20 ga shotgun when he was 7. His first big game rifle was a Remington 600 in .243, got it for Christmas when he was 12. He still shoots...

    Official Post Padding Thread

    Me too, especially the comments from some of the Wyoming residents. I have hunted Wyoming as a NR (both guided and on my own) since 1980 and have never heard so much anti NR hunter crap.

    Wyo Task Force - Nonres Comments!

    News Flash.......! Stop issuing NR tags and issue them all to Wyoming residents. Watch WG&F Department go broke! Watch how many small businesses depending on NR $$$ shut their doors also. Watch how many outfitters shut their doors too. I don't apply for any of the Big 5 and after using all my...

    Virgin Galactic's "Spaceflight".

    Just finished watching Virgin Galactic's flight today. I was not impressed! I heard a CNN commentator compare the mothercraft/passenger craft to the Space Shuttle. I was a little insulted. I worked on the Apollo and Space Shuttle Programs and know how complex and difficult it was to accomplish...

    Anyone Else Had Cataract Surgery?

    Medicare and my secondary insurance covered 100%, but I opted for an upgraded lens with far sighted correction built in. No more contacts needed. It cost $1500.00.

    Anyone Else Had Cataract Surgery?

    I had mine on Wednesday and it was unbelievably successful! Surgery took 20 minutes and I left being able to see great again. No pain or problems. Today I was out side (with good sunglasses) and could see details and colors like I was a kid again. No correction needed from the contacts that I...

    I assume you have heard about the initiative thats is going around in Oregon to ban all hunting, fishing and trapping. Do you think it has any chance of passing. Hope it is not going to be like the wolf one here and decided by a few votes and most votes coming from the big metro area.

    No More Game Cameras in AZ!

    We only have ourselves to blame. I personally don't use them and only have on my property here in SW Colorado. (mostly to see whats been bothering my chickens). It just doesn't seem right to me people putting out a ton of them to locate animals to later hunt. Boots on the ground!

    Oregon Trying to Ban Hunting

    If I lived in Oregon, I would be writing, letters to newspapers and donating money to the folks who are organizing AGAINST this movement.

    Wait till they get to Elk, Deer and Antelope and then see what happens. I do agree with Buzz on the Big 5.

    Oregon Trying to Ban Hunting

    Ballot initiatives can be really detrimental to those it is aimed at. You and I just experienced one that would (and did!) by law make Colorado come up with a plan to restock wolves. It passed by a bare majority and sportsman's money is being spent to restock wolves. It will happen here because...

    When Was The First....

    I was the only boy and the oldest child (had 3 younger sisters) so my Dad started taking me hunting and fishing at a young age. I remember lots of hunting trips when I was 6 or 7. Rabbits, doves and waterfowl all were targets. There was no hunter safety training requirement back then and I got...
