    Texan bow hunter killed by Pennsylvanian muzzle loader

    California does not have any requirement for hunter orange. Hunter there for 50 years and never had a problem. When I started hunting Colorado it was hard to get used to the "orange army". Hunted lots in Wyoming too, they only required an orange hat.

    Proposed change for Utah Elk Tag

    I havn't hunted Utah in years and never for elk so I don't have a feel for what currently is happening. I do keep up with the comments here on the Forum. The first thing that strikes me is Utah jumping on the bandwagon and potentially joining the states that SELL points. I f it happens, Utah...

    My last 4 vehicles (2 trucks & 2 suvs) have all been used, low mileage lease turn ins that I paid cash for. Saved a lot of money and had good luck with all of them.

    BE CHECKING YOUR MEAT FOR THIS PARASITE

    Wow...I have never heard of it. Looked it up and it is in a lot of animals. I guess I'll have to be more observant.

    Investments - what has served you well?

    I can't believe the cost of college today. I went to a major west coast private (for profit) university in the PAC 12 on a football scholarship. Today the cost to attend that school is $60,000 per year plus room & board. By the time you get done with 4 years, it could easily be 350 to 400 K...

    2021 Hunting Success Thread

    I like it. There are more days between seasons to give the area and animals a rest and easier to find a camping spot with the hunters from the previous season clearing out earlier.

    I was fortunate enough to work 40 years for a large aerospace company that had great benefits. In addition to a total company paid retirement they had an employee savings plan where they matched dollar for dollar your input up to 8% and 50% on up to 12% of you contribution. You could invest it...

    Not Sitting At Home

    I am scouting my deer & elk area (again!) between 2 & 3rd seasons. Like it that there are more days break between seasons now. I have a 4th season tag and thought I'd take another look as it's only about 75 mile north of my home place.

    I shot a buck deer many years ago that was a stag (no balls). His horns were still in velvet and really deformed and he was really fat. Not chasing does, just eating. One of the best eating deer I have ever shot. Never know, he could have been sterile.

    Ruger No 1 .300 Weatherby

    I just finished watching the revue on the new Weatherby 2.0. It weighs with scope just over #8. I was curious how much my new Ruger #1B weighs. I weighed it with scope, mounts and muzzlebrake, #9 4 oz. I was pretty surprised that it was as light as it was. Can't go to the range until maybe...
