    What is Trophy Hunting?

    When I was young, the first thing that came to mind when trophies were mentioned, was African hunts. Lots of pictures in magazines of the hunters with their animals. I was pretty young and I really didn't think anything about what was done with the meat. I am sure most non hunters who see...

    Kodiak blacktail advice

    I have a friend who lives in Nevada who has done 4 or 5 of the mothership/skiff Kodiak Blacktail hunts. Don't know the timing, but he has done very well. He told me the mothership accomadations and food was excellent.

    Conservation And Trophy Hunting

    Just finished watching and it was very interesting. You did a good job on discussing trophy vs meat hunting. As the presentation was winding down the discussion started going towards what the hunter can use to improve their success in the field. Lots of different "tools " were part of the...

    Leupold Spotting Scope

    Guys this is a great buy. I was seriously looking at it, but it has a straight eye piece and I am used to an angled one.

    WGFD Proposed Changes

    The unit I like to hunt has no type 6 doe/fawn tags again this year, 2 years in a row. Lat time I was there we actually saw more bucks than does.

    The 1 Thing You Learned- Cooking Wild Game

    Lets start out way before you light the fire! Take care of your meat. Learn how to butcher it yourself, that's the only way YOU have control! I've seen lots of game with flies, dirt and hair all over it. If a piece of prime beef was treated this way, it would taste like crap.

    The Most Important Data...

    I tend not to hunt many new areas. States and units that I have had good success in are my main targets. That said, preference points required for a successful draw are my number one piece of information I want. I have already done the research (often times many years before) and usually am very...

    Help me decide...

    Unless you know the area and have done some scouting in advance of the season, Colorado M/L could be really tough. It has archery season for several weeks before M/L opens and there could be lots of bow hunters in your area. Good advice from Jim.

    New Electric Endurance Beta Truck

    When comparing my older 7.3 to the newer 6.7, I am sure both are very reliable and comparable in that respect. My 6.7 definately has more power than my older 7.3, but gets a lot less mpg. I also am sure it's because of all the pollution controls on the newer engine. Jim is right about...

    New Electric Endurance Beta Truck

    Actually the only reason I got rid of my 1999 SuperDuty Powerstroke was we were planning an extended rv trip to Alaska and I wanted something with less miles on it. It actually got better mileage than my current 6.7.

    New Electric Endurance Beta Truck

    I respectfully disagree. It does depend on how you are using the vehicle. I have not owned a gas pickup truck since 1983, all diesels since then. I don't believe a gas rig could compare with what I put a truck through. My last Powerstroke had 300,000 miles on it when I traded it off for a newer...

    So I watched a you tube video the other night.......

    Definitely need to see the video. If he had he hunting rifle on his body, my view is that he was hunting. Glassing and no rifle, could be defined as not hunting. Just my take. I'm sure someone who knows Wyoming law with chime in.
