    Who else is...

    I am bout to go outside for my plow and shovel exercise routine. I will likely be at it for much of the day because I am running out of room for places to put it. After the truck, it is the tractor's turn. Ae least it is supposed to get above freezing today, and stay above 20 all week.

    Idaho CWD Control Plans

    It's no different for us humans. In the US, roughly 38K from cars, 20K from murders, animals - not many, weather - 1K+, disease - all the rest of us......there's no getting out alive.

    Who else is...

    We are around 100" this season and more coming down right now. My 22 year old plow truck and V plow are going to need a long rest) and some repairs this spring. The few deer that were left up here are likely to go extinct for the rest of my hunting life.

    2023 Iron Dog expedition class finisher

    Where or how are the snowmobiles provided? If you provide your own, I suppose that you would have to ride back to the start.

    50's Gun Shop/Sporting Goods Store

    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...

    50's Gun Shop/Sporting Goods Store

    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...

    Who’s gonna win?

    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).

    WY Region H or unit 78

    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...

    WY Region H or unit 78

    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...

    Eastmans' Hunting Journal - Annual Mule Deer issue

    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.

    Expo 2023

    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.

    Anyone bake pies?

    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...
