    Quail and Javelina

    Well, day one is over and we didn't get any quail. It is hotter than we thought it would be here in Arizona and the quail were holding tight. It's so hot that the dog that is with us is running right past the covies as they hold tight. It's hot enough that he is having a hard time picking up...

    NRA Board of Directors

    He is the only one that I have ever had any interactions with, and I have never met him. But I read his mission statement on the petition that he started up to get onto the ballot and I liked it. The problem with the NRA like most other large companies or organizations is that they work on...

    NRA Board of Directors

    I have a friend on another forum who managed to get his name onto the ballot for the NRA Board of Directors. He is a down to earth type of person and managed to get onto the ballot by drumming up support the old fashion way by getting signatures on a petition instead of depending on the...

    Wolves

    Here is a article by a Denver TV station on the wolves. As a FYI, the purple area are drainage's where wolves have been tracked to not actual locations. So if a wolf is trotting down along the Continental Divide and happens to wander down the east or west side the map will show that drainage...

    You gentlemen are not going to believe this but I just got my notification on being selected for the Colorado Sportsman's Roundtable. And yep, I can't believe it myself but I wasn't selected to be on it. On to next year.

    Broken Stuff

    My Harbor Freight special floor jack had a blowout yesterday. But after 25 or so years with some pretty good use I guess it's about time. The bolt that holds the caster to the jack sheared off, and while I thought about just replacing the bolt I couldn't find all the ball bearings. I picked...

    Possible Application Fee Increase Bill

    Ever since the Wyoming leglesature told them that they need to stand on their own as far as finances they have to just keep raising fees. Just the other day I was wondering when they were going to start requiring a hunting license before applying.

    New Proposal on Wolves

    I watched a convoy of CP&W trucks with trailers drive past my home last Sunday, they were coming from the airport and from a number of reports the next shipment of wolves are here. From what I have heard on other reports they headed west on I-70 and that the wolves were dumped in either Pikin...

    DIY Mule Deer? bunch of points in every state...

    It used to be that you didn't have to spend anything for a point in a number of states, just pay their application fee. Then they started requiring that you had a hunting license to apply for the draw and to get a point. It could get expensive applying in a number of states. I had a...

    Folding Rifle Stocks

    How much weight will you save with a folder? In my way of thinking especially for backpacking is to keep it simple even if it weighs a little bit more. There is always a chance of something happening where the folding mechanism might malfunction or just plain break, or stick in one position...

    DIY Mule Deer? bunch of points in every state...

    I know that Utah, Arizona, and Colorado require a lot more than 10 points for the better units. Unless you are thinking of general season tags where it is a crap shoot as far as quality.

    Boot Insulation

    I'm not much help but it feels like my Chrispi Colorado uninsulated are actually warmer than some of the boots that I had back in the 60's and early 70's. But saying that I have not had any problems keeping my feet warm as long as I didn't try to go swimming with my boots. I had some 800 gm...

    CO Ranchers want $580k in Damages from Wolves

    The big problem with getting rid of them now is that it is a law to reintroduce them so the CP&W's hands are tied for the time being. One thing that gets me is that CP&W just signed a agreement with the Southern Ute tribe saying that they won't reintroduce wolves into areas of the San Juan's...

    Seven Years Ago

    I actually thought about going for the whitetail slam after I shot this coues. I figured that I had the hardest one out of the way and they rest would be a lot easier. A picture would be more than welcomed
