    Gun Registration Bill HR 127

    I agree with Kid, Boebert is a wack job but she fights for what she believes in from what I have seen. The other candidate for Congress in this district was Diane Mitsch Bush a 180 degree in the other direction of Boebert. While she was in the Colorado State Legislature she or her...

    The Retro Arizona Javelina Hunt.................

    Monday through Thursday found us in a routine of driving washes and looking for tracks along with taking hikes to check out tops of draws trying to find the javelina. One day I was up above Roy on the top of a very long draw when I saw a herd come out of the bottom and head straight to him. I...

    The Retro Arizona Javelina Hunt.................

    Sunday was the last day for everyone except for Roy and me. We headed across the main wash into a new territory. One of the draws that we went up had a pretty good flow of water in it. It only ran about a hundred yards but it was flowing. On our way up this one we didn’t see a single track...

    Alaska caribou

    I found that if you intend to book with the better operations that you need to start your planning 3 to 4 years out. They are usually that popular.

    Utah Antelope

    You really need to stick with Wyoming for antelope. In Colorado you are required to purchase a qualifying license to be eligible for the draw or to purchase a preference point. So this will run you $84. For better units you are going to wait at least 10 years, $84x10=$840 + $100 in...

    Utah Antelope

    I personally would just stick with Wyoming unless you are also buying licenses in Colorado that qualify for the draw or point purchases. If you just plan on collecting points you will be in it for the long haul and quite a few dollars on licenses that you won't use unless you plan on doing...

    Utah Antelope

    First you need to purchase a hunting license in order to put in for the draw or a bonus point. If you wait until the last week of the application period you can use the license for this year and next year but next year you will need to apply early. Utah works on a hybrid bonus point...

    The Retro Arizona Javelina Hunt.................

    Saturday came and we decided to split up and go into different areas. Roy and I headed to the south while most of the other group headed back into the washes to look for tracks with Bob in the lead. We hadn’t gone very far from the main road when we crossed some tracks. We drove down the wash...

    The Retro Arizona Javelina Hunt.................

    Ahh come one now. I can chase them but I have a hard time catching them, and when I catch them I have forgotten why I was chasing them.. We have a few more day to come. As a teaser it took me until the last half of the last day to tag out.

    It always has been whenever a Democrat is a President. It's just that this one got started early when all the panic buying started last spring due to covid

    Gun Registration Bill HR 127

    In my case I don't need to do much. My congressional rep is Lauren Boebert, the gun toting congress woman and owner of a cafe called Shooters. But my two senators are both very liberal voting ones. Hickinlooper who signed 6 anti gun bills when he was Governor of Colorado, and Bennett who...

    The Retro Arizona Javelina Hunt.................

    Friday morning came and there were now 6 of us ready to hunt along with Bob who was going to show us the area. We loaded up and headed to a coffee shop to pick up some coffee and donuts and we were off following Bob as he headed down the highway. He took a turn off and headed down an old road...

    Trophy Tree

    For a DIY tree you are pretty much going to have to be a little bit handy with some tools to get a good looking one. The base will be the hardest part but anything from a brake drum to just a piece of steel could be used for it, that is if you can weld and have a welder handy that you can use...

    For a DIY hanger Dead On Display Skull Hanger might work better if you plan on using a pipe since their mounting is smaller and more vertical. https://www.deadondisplay.com/collections/euro-hanger

    Wyoming Lion Hunt

    I shot a javelina one year and decided to smoke it up and take it to a party that a friend was having. His mom who is from Arizona was there along with her daughter. They had been around javelina since they had gardens that they liked to dig up and leave their odor all over the place, they...

    Trophy Tree

    Home Depot and Lowe's has stacks of them. I have Thought about using a 4x4 Cedar post and then trimming off the edges. You can then use a skull hooker or one of the other hangers out there to mount the skulls.
