    Lightweight Boots

    The boots that I am wearing are discontinued, they were however replaced by a newer model. I guess so that they can charge more. I haven't purchased a boot in a actual brick and mortar store in over 40 years. When you live in a area like I do you depend on mail order. I have driven to Grand...

    WY 2023 Hunting Season Proposals

    Because they are still self funded and if they raised residents tag prices they would really hear it.

    Broken Stuff

    That reminds me of when I tore my ICL off of my knee, I was in a solid cast for 6 weeks. I had a friend who tore his ICL the same weekend and the Dr's figured that all he needed was a brace. Well, my knee is pretty much healed for the last 45 years where he ended up having surgery on his 20...

    Giving up on Alaska - anyone been to Costa Rica?

    They do have collard peccary (South American javelina), coatimundis, jaguars, iguanas, and a few other animals. But I would image that most are on the endangered list.

    Giving up on Alaska - anyone been to Costa Rica?

    From what I know Costa Rica really isn't very much of a hunting mecca to begin with as far as animals to hunt.

    CO SB 255 and 256

    We can only hope. It's interesting that Senator Roberts who is a prime sponsor of the bills can't even take the time to return a email on the gun bills that I sent him. I also wonder if these are real bills or just a smoke screen acting like they really care about what's in the bills. I...

    Lightweight Boots

    I'm wearing a pair of Crispi Colorado's, and have a years worth of wear on them and they still look close to new. They are the boots that I took to Africa last year. But the term lightweight and inexpensive don't go together. If I ever find them on sale again I am going to pick up a second...

    Should I apply for Antelope in Wyoming or not???

    There will always be those hunters who will shoot the first one that the see that is legal for the tag that they have. Then there are the others who will hold out to the end of their hunt before they pull the trigger, I would image that most non residents will be this way but you never know...

    Should I apply for Antelope in Wyoming or not???

    From what I understand they'll have to reduce them. I heard that the semis traveling on HWY 40 just slaughtered the antelope as they were standing in the middle of the road.

    Should I apply for Antelope in Wyoming or not???

    The season hasn't started yet.. I have seen states DWR's cancel and change hunts a month before the season starts. Sometimes it takes a bit longer into the year to get a better grasp on what is going on as far as herd health and numbers are concerned.

    WY credit card survey

    It may be spam but they didn't post any links to other sites. We'll just watch them.

    Dolores County Colorado Hunting Accident

    What it comes down to is a very stupid neglectful accident. I am surprised that CP&W didn't address the problem of both seasons, archery and muzzle loader running at the same time without requiring archery hunters to at the very least have to wear some orange camouflage during those 9 days.

    Should I apply for Antelope in Wyoming or not???

    They want you to draw a tag and get out of the point pool. I'll have to look at my points and see just how many I have

    Should I apply for Antelope in Wyoming or not???

    The thing that I would wonder about is how fit did the bucks go into the winter, and when we're the first big storms that hit the area. I just wouldn't want to draw the tag and then not be able to find a buck that I wanted to shoot. I might be hoping myself that 24 or 25 will be good years...

    Should I apply for Antelope in Wyoming or not???

    From what I have heard the Casper area got hit real hard this winter, I'd go for a point.

    Does anyone still hunt turkeys?

    I've seen turkeys react just like deer and elk. When there isn't a season going on you can walk right up to a flock, but put a shotgun into my hands and they are gone.

    Antelope

    I was just planning on points for antelope and deer. And then think about a unit to hunt in 2024, but I may go for 2025.

    Proposed Utah permits

    While Utah got hit hard by this winter's storms most of the state wasn't too bad as far as where the animals winter at. On what I put in for I have: Slim to very slim chance on my bison tag with 24 points. They only let a single non resident tag out so no bonus tags. Slim to better than...
