Once again, that's a great hunt. Warthogs are my nemesis. I missed one last year at 100 yards but redeemed myself with one at about 30. I should of also taken zebra, but perhaps that may give me a reason to go back. Did you get to eat any of the meat? While most of my meat went to the...

This has been floating around for a couple of weeks, just thought that I'd post it up about the wolves: https://www.vaildaily.com/news/colorado-tribe-only-wants-wolves-reintroduced-in-area-that-includes-routt-county-will-cpw-listen/

I'll wager that it was a canned lion hunt from a captive bred lion. They release the lion a couple of days before the hunt to make it as real as possible. The PH's problem was not backing out to let the lion relax some before getting close to the lion. The hunters problem was using a...

This is being discussed at length over on a African hunting forum that I am on. The big thing is that they are saying that both the hunter and PH should of backed out of there and let the lion settle down. Another thing that they observed is that the lion was chewing on a stick which most...

I'm sure that the animals will recover, hunters won't like the cuts that will need to be made but if the tags are extremely limited they can recover. Look at where the deer and pronghorn populations were way back in the early 1900 after the market hunters got done. After the winter of...

I was doing some work in a home that a old rancher owned near the Vail Valley. He had a ranch in the area along with one down in New Mexico. I was looking for the problem and opened up a door in the basement. You couldn't even walk into that room. It was full of deer, elk, bears, and cat...

I wished that I would of kept all the antlers from the deer and elk that I have shot. But I found that custom knife builders and others would pay a good price for them so most were either given away or sold.

I have often been asked about all the taxidermy that I have in my home and what I want to do with it after I am gone. I just tell them that for me it is the memories of the hunts and the fun that I had and that while they are important to me that I doubt that anyone else would feel the same way...

The boots that I am wearing are discontinued, they were however replaced by a newer model. I guess so that they can charge more. I haven't purchased a boot in a actual brick and mortar store in over 40 years. When you live in a area like I do you depend on mail order. I have driven to Grand...

Because they are still self funded and if they raised residents tag prices they would really hear it.

That reminds me of when I tore my ICL off of my knee, I was in a solid cast for 6 weeks. I had a friend who tore his ICL the same weekend and the Dr's figured that all he needed was a brace. Well, my knee is pretty much healed for the last 45 years where he ended up having surgery on his 20...

They do have collard peccary (South American javelina), coatimundis, jaguars, iguanas, and a few other animals. But I would image that most are on the endangered list.

From what I know Costa Rica really isn't very much of a hunting mecca to begin with as far as animals to hunt.
