    Decoys

    I think that they do, as the Tom comes into the call if he sees a decoy they may come in more aggressively and in the open and not paying much attention to anything other than the decoys. I once had two Toms come into my decoys and attack the decoy Tom. I wished that I had a video camera on...

    Great Book On Hunting Africa and Conservation

    If any of you would like to read a book by a non hunter about hunting in Africa I'll suggest this one. It is written by a hunters wife who tagged along on a 23 day safari in Tanzania. While there are tales on hunting and the kill a lot of it is about the animals and people. It is a very...

    GA Hunter Attacked by Dogs

    Years ago I never packed a sidearm with me when out scouting or hiking in the wilds. But in today's world I always have a firearm with me when out hiking, you never know what is going to happen. And while the biggest problem is the two legged kind something like this does happen with those...

    Hunting Groups Quit Partners

    I just looked and unless I am reading it wrong it failed on a vote of 20 to 43 and was laid over, whatever that means. https://leg.colorado.gov/content/hb23-1165vote638e07

    Hunting Groups Quit Partners

    They had a news report on the banning of firing a gun at certain firing ranges within close proximity of other dwellings. It sounded more like a safety concern, but I haven't gone searching for the bill itself. My makeshift range is out on BLM land so I'm pretty safe. The nearest dwelling is...

    Hunting Groups Quit Partners

    It is too bad that there isn't a law where Governor's need to appoint someone who has a background in what they are being appointed for. While I haven't followed just who is on Colorado's board I have on Utah's Wildlife Board and most of them have zero idea about what they are talking about...

    It is always sad to loose someone who you have worked with to accomplish a lifelong dream.

    Who’s gonna win?

    I agree but to not even try for the touchdown is what gets me. After the Eagles spend their last timeout KC still had a couple of plays that they could of tried to punch it in. Granted you don't want to give a explosive offense much time, but depending on a field goal is risking even more with...

    Who’s gonna win?

    On the play towards the end when the KC player decided to down the ball inside the 5 so that they could run out the clock and kick a field goal. Wouldn't of it been hilarious if they would of been stopped from scoring and either had the kick blocked or missed? While I can understand the...

    I haven't looked at that yet but I'm guessing it is the same as in past years.

    Utah Hunt Expo Tag Draw List

    We did some math on another forum and it came out such a small percentage that if the tags were left in the general draw it wouldn't change that much as far as who drew.

    Utah Hunt Expo Tag Draw List

    Have you ever played any of the money lotteries? Over the years I know of a dozen or more that have won the opportunity to purchase a tag through these drawings. And since 30% of the proceeds from ticket sales go directly back into wildlife conservation in Utah it's a big plus. The...

    Utah Suspends Shed Hunting

    Utah has suspended shed hunting until April 30 due to snow conditions. Of course this doesn't affect anyone else out in the hills. I can see a lot of sheds being stashed in the trees until it is legal to pick them up...

    What’s your plans?

    I remember dealing with my brother in law on both of his knee replacements. I dragged him to his PT for a couple of weeks and while I sat outside on a bench watching folks he was doing all the work. He did say that after he had his first one done that he wished that he had done it 10 years...

    Expo 2023

    Years ago most of the real large bucks were shot during late seasons that ran into December. There was a service station in Cove Fort Utah where I-70 and I-15 now meet, in that station they had some of the largest bucks that I have ever seen, they all were shot legally in December. Same with a...
