    Personally I believe Ben has it right, there is more broken than just the government.

    2021 Wyoming Antelope help

    That is exactly what I was planning, I try to find an out of the way spot that has some antelope before opening day and get on them right away. The kids don't always shoot that well so I like the beginning of season before they are really spooked. It can take several stalks for the kids to...

    2021 Wyoming Antelope help

    My daughter has 3 pps for antelope, with all the comments on this forum about the poor antelope numbers from this past fall I am at a loss on where to take her. I am not a road hunter and plan on spending a lot of time walking and glassing. I am just looking for general advice on an area that...

    Poaching Rant....

    Poor guy had only a small window of time to take his kids out hunting because of his work. He was so pissed he could hardly talk about it, he just paid it because he didn't have the time to fight it. Talking to him a year later he is still pissed and mad at himself for not fighting it in...

    Warmest socks or boots for cold weather sits

    X2 I picked up a pair of Cablelas Inferno a few years ago from their Bargain Cave, warmest boots I have tried and they are pretty light for how warm they are.

    Savage 110 Rfles

    My kids use a 7mm-08 and my wife uses a 25-06. We've killed a lot of animals with both, the 7mm-08 is one of my favorites it hits hard and has a fairly wide selection of bullets available. The only negative experience I have had with the 25-06 was with cheap ammo, it has performed flawlessly...

    I applaud him for attempting to be part of the solution. More of us should probably be getting involved, but I think it may already be too late.

    How many of you will get the Covid shot?

    My memory isn't that good, I just remember going to the same place for all of the shots several times when I was young and for some reason I remember being given sugar cubes. Oh and I remember being scared shitless.

    How many of you will get the Covid shot?

    I remember getting sugar cubes with a shot but I don't remember what the shot was for. This would have been early 70s

    Venison burger with organs

    I never played around with the liver but when I was a kid at hunting camp we would fry up deer heart for breakfast whenever we could. You would not notice the heart at all in burger. I have never been a fan of liver of any kind so I can't comment on that.

    So...What are your plans for 2021?

    Original plans were Deer and Antelope in Wyoming with my daughter, but with all the comments about the poor antelope numbers I am having second thoughts. Either going to stick to plan A or possibly have my son skip a couple weeks of college and burn up his Wyoming Elk PPs.

    The time is almost here again...

    I cannot imagine going across country on a hunting trip and not working your butt off, that is what makes it fulfilling. For me the experience is what it is all about. I always felt that whatever group I went with, we were a team and whatever success was had was the teams success. Everyone...

    The Memes Thread!

    I laughed out loud when I seen this, there was a kid in my kndergarden class that did that, poor kid had never seen a urinal before.

    How many of you will get the Covid shot?

    I am not for or against taking the vaccine, but I am not going to be in a huge hurry to take it. Like you the number of people I know that have had the virus is over 100 and the stories are similar to what you laid out. What scares me more than the virus is how fear has caused people to...

    Poaching Rant....

    I hear what you are saying but you don't live in Michigan. We have a new breed of Barnie Fifes here. I will not bore you with the details but a good friend of mine took his 10 year old daughter hunting on his private property. Around 10 am he took her for a 200 yard walk to see who was...

    To my hunting partner

    Sorry for your loss! I lost my dad 30 years ago when I was 17. Not a day goes by that I don't think of him especially when I am hunting. Honor his memory by instilling the same values in your kids. I know what you are going through and it sucks, focus on the memory and when the time comes that...

    Happy Thanksgiving

    Happy Thanksgiving! Through all the craziness of 2020 today I am reminded how blessed I am to live in the greatest nation on earth. To be able to over eat at noon then grab a gun and go deer hunting with my daughter for me is a great life.

    Wyoming mule deer

    Yes I would take a couple of them. Don't get to hunt mule deer that often these days and would be happy with several of those.

    2020 Whitetail Success Thread

    This has been a very difficult year for us. Hoping that the lack of deer is due to them migrating to the massive acorn crops this year, but I fear that it has more to do with all the wolves we have been seeing this year.
