    The Memes Thread!

    Never had that problem. My parents wouldn't let me away from the table with food left on my plate. I quickly learned that a lot of the foods that I didn't like tasted a lot better when they were hot than they did a hour later cold.

    Does it makes sense anymore?

    Quite a few hunters have problems hunting out west just due to the fact that they want to go with someone and not by themselves. A retired person can pretty much plan out what he is going to do at a moments notice. I know that I planned a few of my hunting trips around others who were still in...

    Does it makes sense anymore?

    I don't see the availability of tags changing anytime in the near or future. It seams like there are more and more hunters heading out west here to hunt and the end is not in the foreseeable future. Hunting out west is very popular and it is getting more and more every year.

    Does it makes sense anymore?

    I've seen way too many people waste their money on things that don't matter in life. While I think that hunting is a major thing to do you have to have your priorities correct in what you spend your money on. People can forget chasing the point game hoping that they draw that coveted tag...

    270 Weatherby Magnum bullet selection

    Sad to say I haven't started loading for it yet due to the lack of supplies. But when I do get started I think that I'll try out some RL19 to go with the Barnes 130 grain TTSX bullet. I've used the Barnes TTSX in rifles from a 25-06 up my 340 Weatherby with a number in-between and all the...

    Once in a Liftetime tag? Then what..?

    Due to the drought they are reducing tags in both of the units that have bison. They had a OTC tag in a unit where bison would migrate off of the Ute Tribal lands but the Ute Tribe has now installed a fence to keep them on their lands so that hunt might not even happen this year.

    Once in a Liftetime tag? Then what..?

    If you haven't been applying in multiple states for their OIL tags you might as well consider yourself out of luck for drawing a second one when you are starting at the bottom I have 24 Utah bison prints and am 68 years old and my chances of drawing are quite slim. But even if I draw this year...

    How much wildgame do you actually eat?

    I used to go through quite a bit. A elk would last a year with a deer thrown in along with ducks geese, upland birds and rabbits. The last dozen or more years a elk will last 2 or 3 years. I have deer from 3 years ago. A lot of it gets ground up for jerky. Anymore I am picky on what animals...

    Lighted Nocks and Expandables in Idaho?

    You will always find that a small group of vocal people who want a law passed or thing allowed will get their way before the silent majority will. Not saying that is what happened here but it happens every day.

    Price of outfitted hunts

    Skulls and capes need to go through different processes. Skulls would need to be pretty much a finished euro with nothing left attached to it. Also since all African plains animals have horns and not antlers they also have to be processed. Capes get what is called dipped and packed, this is...

    Price of outfitted hunts

    Outfitted hunts like everything are going up. The price of fuel for the outfitter to get out and scout, along with food prices to feed you on the hunt are up along with what they have to pay their help. Any sheep hunt has been out of my price range for a very long time.

    Arctic Air ( Mike and Shiela Spisak ) & Outdoor International - Buyer Beware!

    That's sounds like standard practice on not giving a deposit back on something out of their controll and it sounds like they offered that you could use it in the future. I'm going to Africa in June and the first thing that I purchased after getting my airfare was trip insurance. Now if...
