    Anyone Else Had Cataract Surgery?

    Medicare and my secondary insurance covered 100%, but I opted for an upgraded lens with far sighted correction built in. No more contacts needed. It cost $1500.00.

    Anyone Else Had Cataract Surgery?

    I had mine on Wednesday and it was unbelievably successful! Surgery took 20 minutes and I left being able to see great again. No pain or problems. Today I was out side (with good sunglasses) and could see details and colors like I was a kid again. No correction needed from the contacts that I...

    I assume you have heard about the initiative thats is going around in Oregon to ban all hunting, fishing and trapping. Do you think it has any chance of passing. Hope it is not going to be like the wolf one here and decided by a few votes and most votes coming from the big metro area.

    No More Game Cameras in AZ!

    We only have ourselves to blame. I personally don't use them and only have on my property here in SW Colorado. (mostly to see whats been bothering my chickens). It just doesn't seem right to me people putting out a ton of them to locate animals to later hunt. Boots on the ground!

    Oregon Trying to Ban Hunting

    If I lived in Oregon, I would be writing, letters to newspapers and donating money to the folks who are organizing AGAINST this movement.

    Oregon Trying to Ban Hunting

    Ballot initiatives can be really detrimental to those it is aimed at. You and I just experienced one that would (and did!) by law make Colorado come up with a plan to restock wolves. It passed by a bare majority and sportsman's money is being spent to restock wolves. It will happen here because...

    When Was The First....

    I was the only boy and the oldest child (had 3 younger sisters) so my Dad started taking me hunting and fishing at a young age. I remember lots of hunting trips when I was 6 or 7. Rabbits, doves and waterfowl all were targets. There was no hunter safety training requirement back then and I got...

    Where would you move to if you had your choice of any western State to live in?

    Wyoming residents are stretch the truth a lot, especially about Colorado and the wind! Wyoming needs more people....and the latest rumor is that Tesla is going to build a new manufacturing plant in Cody and hire 5,000 people. LOL

    Side focus hunting scopes, are they practical and needed?

    I have the same scope on my .220 Ackley Improved Swift. It is great for this and not great for prairie dogs, they hate it!

    Side focus hunting scopes, are they practical and needed?

    I have all VXIII's on my hunting rifles. Once I set the focus to my eyes, I never change it.

    Monsoons in SW Colorado

    The real problem here in the SW part of the state is storage. The drought has sucked the storage systems down so low that some are already turned off for the year. One near me (Summit Irrigation) got less than a months water, not even enough to get one cutting of hay. The system I have shares in...
