    Marcus, I didn't think that I had any place recommending the surgery option for you, but it appears that you are working with professionals on that issue, so good luck. A short story; I have a good hunting buddy who blossomed to 460# on a 5'9" medium frame. He went up and down, but always...

    I've got to congratulate you Marcus for your efforts. It appears to me that you are addressing the physical side of the fitness/weight loss regiment. I know that finding time for a workout is difficult while having a job and a young family, but keep at it young man. I am not any kind of an...

    Just returned from my S.E. Ohio rut bow hunt

    WOW! I would be a lot more than just "dissatisfied" , more like "pissed-off". I was trying to narrow my search for an Alaska hunt and found several similar type reviews of an outfit that I was looking at. I always ask for and follow up on references, but you would think that you will only get...

    Tag Soup 2019

    I never consider a hunt a failure as long as I can get out hunting, see some new country, enjoy time with friends and take another breath in God's country. Having said that, here's my talley. Tags punched - one bull elk (CO) one antelope doe (WY) Tag soup - mule...

    The 2019 Mule Deer Success Thread!

    Looks great Bill. I did my own elk European mount this year, but had to buy a bigger pot to do it. Now I'm good for everything except moose.

    CO 2nd season story

    Good write-up Seal. You seem to appreciate those hunts where you have to work the hardest for them.

    Way to work it Bill. Your quote about running out of health before you run out of money hits me every time when I see a buddy struck down by different things. An extra reminder to me to do it while I can.

    The 2019 Elk Success Thread

    Good job; it's great that you have the next generation getting out there and hunting. Their young backs likely were good to have along too.

    Sad story but a hell of a way to go.

    Eastman's Click Bait- National Elk Refuge To Starve Elk

    Most on the forum know this, but for those who don't.....the feed grounds wouldn't be necessary if they burned down all the towns and ranches that were build on the winter range. The feed grounds are paid for by hunters, not tourists, photographers, or ranchette owners.

    Drawing hunts--Alaska

    Thanks AK. I just sent a PM to Bonecollector, maybe we can get together on something. My wife and I will be in WA and OR this summer, and are looking at some fishing charters off the coast. She revealed that her only interest in an Alaska trip was for the fishing, and we can do that in OR...

    Drawing hunts--Alaska

    AK; I'll have to look at this, as my wife just informed me that after 30 years of talking about an Alaska road trip, that she would just prefer to spend the time visiting with her family in WA and OR. We were deep in the planning stage for the trip next summer. But, she did say that maybe I...

    GETTIN OLD.......

    Not being a star athlete can be a blessing as you get older. Thinking about the 6 best athletes in my high school class; 2 are in prison, 3 are dead, and the biggest star of all (he was actually drafted by the NFL after a stellar college stint) is a virtual cripple. In the last ten years...

    Official Post Padding Thread

    We must have stayed at the same place. Four of us wandered all over that floor, and were headed back to the lobby for directions when we found the room back in a recess next to the elevator.

    Too bad I can't hunt it without hiring an outfitter. I will draw an H deer tag next year and plan to dedicate the entire 3 week season to hunt the unit. The main area that I want to explore, I can't.

    Antelope success thread

    You need to apply for a "Type 6" tag instead of a "Type 7" tag. Look through the hunting regulations book, and you will see that most of the units that have a "Type 7" also have a "Type 6". If not, you may want look at hunting a different unit.

    2019 OTC 2nd rifle elk

    That draw fee is why I decided to get to get off the pot and use my elk points in CO. There was a 3 point jump in the unit I chose, likely because other NRs decided to do the same. I will likely hunt CO again, but only on a tag with 0 points.
