    Utah Antelope

    You really need to stick with Wyoming for antelope. In Colorado you are required to purchase a qualifying license to be eligible for the draw or to purchase a preference point. So this will run you $84. For better units you are going to wait at least 10 years, $84x10=$840 + $100 in...

    Utah Antelope

    I personally would just stick with Wyoming unless you are also buying licenses in Colorado that qualify for the draw or point purchases. If you just plan on collecting points you will be in it for the long haul and quite a few dollars on licenses that you won't use unless you plan on doing...

    Utah Antelope

    First you need to purchase a hunting license in order to put in for the draw or a bonus point. If you wait until the last week of the application period you can use the license for this year and next year but next year you will need to apply early. Utah works on a hybrid bonus point...

    The Retro Arizona Javelina Hunt.................

    Saturday came and we decided to split up and go into different areas. Roy and I headed to the south while most of the other group headed back into the washes to look for tracks with Bob in the lead. We hadn’t gone very far from the main road when we crossed some tracks. We drove down the wash...

    The Retro Arizona Javelina Hunt.................

    Ahh come one now. I can chase them but I have a hard time catching them, and when I catch them I have forgotten why I was chasing them.. We have a few more day to come. As a teaser it took me until the last half of the last day to tag out.

    It always has been whenever a Democrat is a President. It's just that this one got started early when all the panic buying started last spring due to covid

    Gun Registration Bill HR 127

    In my case I don't need to do much. My congressional rep is Lauren Boebert, the gun toting congress woman and owner of a cafe called Shooters. But my two senators are both very liberal voting ones. Hickinlooper who signed 6 anti gun bills when he was Governor of Colorado, and Bennett who...

    The Retro Arizona Javelina Hunt.................

    Friday morning came and there were now 6 of us ready to hunt along with Bob who was going to show us the area. We loaded up and headed to a coffee shop to pick up some coffee and donuts and we were off following Bob as he headed down the highway. He took a turn off and headed down an old road...

    Trophy Tree

    For a DIY tree you are pretty much going to have to be a little bit handy with some tools to get a good looking one. The base will be the hardest part but anything from a brake drum to just a piece of steel could be used for it, that is if you can weld and have a welder handy that you can use...

    Trophy Tree

    For a DIY hanger Dead On Display Skull Hanger might work better if you plan on using a pipe since their mounting is smaller and more vertical. https://www.deadondisplay.com/collections/euro-hanger

    Wyoming Lion Hunt

    I shot a javelina one year and decided to smoke it up and take it to a party that a friend was having. His mom who is from Arizona was there along with her daughter. They had been around javelina since they had gardens that they liked to dig up and leave their odor all over the place, they...

    Trophy Tree

    Home Depot and Lowe's has stacks of them. I have Thought about using a 4x4 Cedar post and then trimming off the edges. You can then use a skull hooker or one of the other hangers out there to mount the skulls.

    The Retro Arizona Javelina Hunt.................

    Well, since I didn't draw a javelina tag down in Arizona this spring I thought that I would entertain you folks with one from 24 years ago. It seams like it was such a short time ago. At this time 24 years ago 6:10 pm Mountain time myself and 3 others were headed to Arizona for the spring...

    Colorado off the rails? - WOLVES

    Just remember that the ones that moved to Colorado to ruin it are now looking at Idaho as a new state to screw up.

    I don't expect anything to get back to even close to normal until 2022. You might see thing trickle into dealers shelves but it will disappear fairly quickly. People have learned when the bigger stores get their deliveries of ammo and when they place it onto the shelves and are sitting there...

    Colorado off the rails? - WOLVES

    I am just glad that I am getting towards the end of my hunting career. But then perhaps I'll be able to send a bullet towards one of these new species

    I looked online this morning for some Barnes bullets for my .340 Weatherby, mined you it was just for bullets and not loaded ammo. The price had gone up $7.00 since Friday, but it didn't matter anyway since they didn't have any. I'm going to be shooting a lot of 22 Lr this upcoming summer...

    Cabelas Sleeping bag

    I had a niece that came with us on a antelope hunt at around 8000' in Utah one fall the later part of September. She had borrowed a cot from her sister so that she didn't have to sleep on the floor of the tent that he husband had borrowed. The first night she about froze to death. She said...
