    Utah: Ethics Course Required For Shed Hunting

    They don't kill them per say but they do cause undue stress on the does and cows possibly leading to them aborting the fetuses. Also if they are stressed enough they may just go off somewhere and die. There is no proof one way or the other, just speculation..

    How much is too much?

    I guess that I'll update what I am spending on a hunting trip. This June I am headed back to Africa for another hunt. The hunt is $6700 for 10 animals in 10 days, airfare is $2400 but that also includes rescue in case I need it. They will fly me back home here to Colorado on a air...

    Utah: Ethics Course Required For Shed Hunting

    Kid, you need to look around you. I can't name them off the top of my head but other states are getting with the same program as far as setting dates when you can't be looking for sheds. Most don't have a ethics course that you need to take but perhaps they should. I would also have zero...

    Most memorable hunt…

    I couldn't even begin to list them after 55+ years of hunting. Each and every one usually has that special moment or time with others that make them all special and memorable.

    Wolves Placed Back on Endangered List

    Just because he was appointed by George W doesn't mean that he understands wildlife or just what is happening. Remember George W also appointed Roberts to the Supreme Court and he has swung more to the left than to the right in my opinion

    Utah: Ethics Course Required For Shed Hunting

    Trouble is with a good snow year the animals are still in winter mode. If anything I would start it June 1 and no sooner. But if you look at Utah's online course you will see that it isn't that tough to pass and if you don't do it the first go around you can just keep changing your answers...

    6.5-300 Weatherby

    If I won a 6.5 Weatherby I would stick a Leopold VX3i 4.5-14x40 CDS scope on it and have a riot shooting targets and animals with it. But then I am a reloader and can wring out the ultimate performance from it. But even purchasing loaded ammo it would still be fun, expensive but fun.

    South Slope Diamond Mtn

    While there is no general deer season for that unit the hunt will run the same time as the general season deer hunt does in the rest of the state which is 10/22-10/30 and that is the Any Legal Weapon Hunt There is a multi season permit for that unit but that season says Multi-Season hunt...

    South Slope Diamond Mtn

    I hunted that area years and years ago, one big problem is that there is a lot of private. At the time that I hunted it the land owners didn't care, but that changed over the years when new and old owners found out that people will pay for access. I believe that there is even a CWMU out there...

    Utah: Ethics Course Required For Shed Hunting

    You will see it more in the western states just do to the amount of federal and state lands. The Midwestern and eastern states are mostly private and would be handled by trespassing laws. If you have never seen the shed hunters you wouldn't believe it. In my area in Colorado they would be...

    Wyoming Corner Hopping Turns Into Hunter Harassment?

    I used to place members on forums on ignore but then I found that I missed a lot of what others were saying and needed to go unignore that person to see what all the hubbub was about. I learned to just ignore those who I want to, I may read part of their post but at least I know what is going...

    Wyoming Corner Hopping Turns Into Hunter Harassment?

    I agree that anymore with everyone having a cell phone in their pocket that there should be a video of the event especially once it started to escalate.

    Pack raft

    If that was the way that I planned on getting a moose out I would definitely hunt upstream. That is unless my way out of the country was downstream, then I would just float down to where the moose was.

    Pack raft

    You place the moose into the raft and then you walk it downstream......They had a episode of Meateater once and that is the way that they did it.

    6.5-300 Weatherby

    Weatherby has a 224 Weatherby mag and they still sell rounds for it. They are quite expensive for a 22 but they have them, usually from Weatherby directly. I don't believe that there is a big enough of a market for them for other retailers to stock them.

    Over The River and Down The Road to Arizona I Go

    That snake den is quite interesting. Some years when we hike into it we find nothing, the snakes are way deep into it. Then other years they are out all over the place to the point that you really need to be careful on where you step. The year that I found it there was a beautiful diamondback...

    Over The River and Down The Road to Arizona I Go

    It's my walking stick along with helping steady my pistol. It is a stem off of a yucca plant. It has kept me from hitting the ground a number of times and when we hike into the canyon that has the rattlesnake den in I can use it to move the snakes around a little to get a better picture...
