    NM 58 antelope

    That is a fine buck. Luck of the draw. I have high hopes for a few more days. I figured long shots would be normal for this unit. Thanks for the photos. Takes a combination of mass and length in all areas to cross that 80" mark. I feel blessed as my first buck was with in an inch of 80. I had...

    2023 NM Draw

    Was able to find some antelope on my trip out to NM. Got to ski for the first time at Ski Santa Fe. Figured out real quick I can ski a lot better than I can stop, but survived in one piece. If you think you are having a tough time just know it could be worse.

    2023 NM Draw

    I am heading to New Mexico this weekend. Might just try to ski down a hill. Where are some good areas to view elk or deer this time of year? Will be in the Taos, Santa Fe, and Las Vegas area. Plan to drive a couple pronghorn units I entered in the draw. Who knows I may draw a tag one of...

    50's Gun Shop/Sporting Goods Store

    I have visited ELY a couple times for family fishing trips. Nice place in the summer to get away from the heat in Arkansas.

    50's Gun Shop/Sporting Goods Store

    Thanks for the reminder of those days. At my age I got to see a short time of those type business. The said part is I also got to see the fall of them as well. I chalk it all up to the greed of society and wanting to do business with who every had the cheapest price.

    AK Fishing

    Sounds like you need to decide on a fishing trip or a sightseeing trip. To catch grayling you will need to go way North. So if halibut is high on your list you are talking 600 or 700 miles to get into great grayling fishing. If you want to do both I would expect you need to add a flight or...

    WY 2023 Superdraw Results

    Only one resident tag winner. It is clear where the Wyoming Game and Fish Department revenue comes from.

    2023 NM Draw

    Good luck is needed. When looking at the information as a nonresident one needs to understand how the 6% applies. Odds of getting a tag are slim to none in all units. The only sure bet is not to enter. You have to enter to draw a tag. One also needs to be aware of the very short seasons on...

    Anyone bake pies?

    Now that is always funny. I don't have a measuring spoon that says that. Is that 2 1/8, 2 1/4, or 2 1/2. The flour.

    What’s your plans?

    Will enter a couple draws although low odds. A man can hope. My trip to South Africa got replaced by Hawaii, not sure why I asked the wife which she would prefer. May take the bow and try for goats, sheep, or even hogs. If I do hunt it will be public lands. Going to spend time on O'ahu and...

    Anyone bake pies?

    My dad had a large family 9 brothers and sisters. We would gather a few times a year where all were present. It was always a very large crowd. My mom would bake a few pies. Her coconut pie was the star of the show. I would notice people cutting and collecting a piece of it before they got...

    Anyone bake pies?

    I think a good Crisco crust is the key to a good pie. Lesson learned on making meringue. Do not add the sugar till it fluffs up. Just a dash of salt and egg whites till thick and then slowly add the sugar.

    Anyone bake pies?

    Just asking cause my mother was one of the best pie makers I have know. I have set a goal to be able to make pies close to what she could make. She passed 2020. I have got fairly good as far as taste but the appearance is work in progress.

    Elk hunting question

    Wyoming for 2024, and New Mexico 2023. I have 4 points currently in Wyoming but partner only has 3 points. NM is a random low chance draw.

    Elk hunting question

    Looking for some advice. I am a first time elk hunter. My question is mainly about scouting. When you draw a tag in late spring. When can you start scouting the area. I will likely only get one chance to scout the area due to distance of travel. When can you expect elk to be in the area...

    WYOMING 90/10 UPDATE | The best blog you'll read all year! - by Guy Eastman

    I am not sure, but I would bet a large number of NR hunters are just buying points and don't really keep up with what is going on. I know I was like that several years ago. I had a couple units I thought I wanted to hunt. When I started to study how the draw worked. I figured it would be 7 to...
