    Wyo Task Force - Nonres Comments!

    If a change is truly necessary, I feel that going to OIL for sheep and moose and waiting periods for LQ deer, elk, and antelope would dramatically increases draw odds and OPPORTUNITY for EVERYONE and that would be a huge step in the right direction. I dont mind waiting 5 years to apply for LQ...

    2021 Fishing

    Grass carp were targets in the morning. This was the biggest one of the weekend. Crappie were targets at night. Total for 4th of July weekend was 268 keepers in the box. We threw back about 150 that didn't swallow the hook. We caught a lot of big fish also. Dozens of the crappie were over...

    Side focus hunting scopes, are they practical and needed?

    I agree with CC and Jim. IMHO It really isn't needed and really is only useful for extended range shooting or when you are at a bench trying to spot holes.

    Wildlife task force, 90-10, etc.

    Honestly, I wish they would limit us to 1 turkey, 1 buck, 1 doe and 1 bear in GA…the hunting would be much better. I used to live in a state where that is all you got and I liked it much better than GA. GA is actually experiencing big time point creep. Especially for gators. I sort of...

    Wildlife task force, 90-10, etc.

    I was just answering the mans question. Showing a bang for your buck (pun intended) comparison. Is what it is. And I think goes without saying that we dont have any "Western Exotics" that are IMHO over-valued at a borderline kings ransom. There is a decent herd of elk up in Cherokee NC about 2...

    Wildlife task force, 90-10, etc.

    In GA Residents and Non Residents are given 10 Antlerless tags and 2 buck tags and 2 bear tags and now (starting in 2021) 2 turkey tags with every license purchased. Also as many hogs and small game as you want to shoot and as many fish as you want to catch if you get the sportsman's license...

    Pack weight? Who weighs theirs and how much?

    ^^ I used to use a glorified fanny pack. It was a pretty good pack and I shot much better with that one on than I do a standard backpack. It was also easier getting through the bark timber with it. I eventually blew the zippers out of it and got a badlands and have used it ever since. I decided...

    First Fawn

    Got a picture of a doe with her fawn at the beginning of my driveway at 12:12 AM the other morning. At 12:15 AM a coyote came by going the same direction. Those first few days are pretty tough for fawns.

    2021 Fishing

    Did some stress free pond stocking at my place on Sunday. I had to lick my wounds after three of us paid $700 for a 6 hour striper fishing trip on Saturday catching 3 small stripers. Pretty disappointing overall especially with the guide and his captain skills. It was suppose to be an 8 hour...

    Shooting Sports

    I used to be in several leagues for archery when I was younger but then I kinda topped out/couldn’t afford better equipment and accepted that I would never make it to the next level. Still a good shot with a bow but I’m no Levi Morgan. Same story for trap, skeet and sporting clays. Just not...

    The Memes Thread!

    ^^^^^ so true. I make the mistake of sharing one of my very best bass fishing spots with just 1 "friend" when I was a kid.

    How many of you will get the Covid shot?

    So strange. For all you know you could have picked it up from a door-handle. Must be some contagious stuff. I wish you a quick recovery!
