I am not speaking in support of this, especially when much of my hunting has taken place in WY wilderness areas that requires NRs to use an outfitter. One positive for both the outfitter and client is that it adds some degree of getting a tag when booking with an outfitter. In many cases you...

Maybe so, but then you could just wash them off and use them again.

On my recent trip west, I checked out four different big box stores, and tho most had 12 ga. trap loads and some turkey loads, almost everything else was not stocked. As noted in my "lion hunt" post, I was stuck in Rapid City for 6 days, and was able to tap into a doled out shipment at Cabela's...

Sorry, but no report on the "chicken nuggets" 3 of us have been sledding into the hunting shack for an overnighter each week, but when I told the other guys that cat was on the menu, one of them balked and decided not to come. Two of us are game for it, so will just make a smaller batch as an...

I had a dream last night that I started running again. I felt fabulous and ran like a cheetah, smoking everyone else, essentially sprinting through an entire marathon. Then I woke up and could barely crawl out of bed. Crap, back to the real world.

Still building up points for a general draw, and am at least one more year out. I did apply for a type 6 tag that have drawn 2 out of the last 4 years. I used my deer points this year, and unless I move to WY, may never get to do that hunt again.

Kid; Did you remember to put your teeth back in before dinner? That might work better.

Ohhhh man!! Now you tell me.

A 6" Colt Python definitely makes an impression on drunken miscreants. It was pointed at a fair number of would be toughs, but I never had to go to the next step. I could make smiley faces on the target during our qualification shoots until the instructor told me to quit showing off. It...

I just returned from a two week trip out west. Most of the first weeks exercise was noted in my post in the predator section "WY lion hunt" Believe me, most of it was a max+ workout. After I got stuck in Rapid City for 6 days, I walked 4 to 6 miles a day and kept up the calestetics. Now...

I am going to fix some "chicken nuggets" at the hunting shack for three of us on Tuesday. I will give a report on Thursday unless it kills me first.

Especially after I add the cost to repair the truck, a week in a motel, $480 in ammunition, meals, and don't forget beer..$$$$$

Clint was a bit apprehensive about me using a pistol because he has had a couple clients in the past who had made bad shots and everything turned into an arcade shoot to follow up on the injured lion. One had a .454 and claimed he could kill an African lion with it. Sure, but you still have to...

I just returned home from a longer than expected Wyoming lion hunt. The current lockdown has cancelled our annual snowmobile trip to Idaho, there's little snow to ride on here in MN, and I didn't draw a late season cow elk tag. So, I called my friend in WY and lined up a lion hunt, starting...

I've been on a number of fully guided hunts, as well as numerous DIY backpack hunts, and as taskswap stated, the pack=in is tough, but the pack-out after filling a tag is daunting. Especially on a hunt with your wife, the drop camp is a good way to go, and costs about 1/3 to 1/2 of a fully...

I am headed to WY on Saturday to do some running up and down the mountain chasing coyotes and hopefully a mountain lion. I am no where near the condition I was in last fall for my mule deer hunt, so will soon see how much I am going to pay for that. Basic exercises and wood cutting have been...

I have two mini-dachshunds. I haven't used them for hunting yet, but they are hell on chipmunks. I suppose they would have a hard time retrieving a goose though.

I would hunt them every year if I could, but as a NR it's tough to draw a tag again once I used my points. Burned 10 pts. in CO a couple years ago, and 4 in WY this past year. I can draw other deer hunts, but they are generally not in the high country or in a very poor deer area. I will keep...

Primers are all sold. I am mailing out vis UPS to five different forum members today. Slow start, but a quick finish.

BC; my guide that I had for my 2019 muzzy elk hunt in CO had just returned from a Greenland musk ox hunt. He had a grand adventure and plans on a full body mount (he's a taxi.) It wasn't god-awful expensive, but logistically a PIA, and his ox is still in Norway waiting for the CITES export...
