    Grizzly Bear Fatal Attacks Racking Up

    I was watching "wardens" last night and it was going over a grizzly attack. Some shed antler hunter had to shoot a bear in self defense. He got very lucky with that .44 magnum he has on his side. I believe he said he shot it 2 times actually. The second shot proved to be a solid hit. I bet...

    Wyo Task Force - Nonres Comments!

    To your first point- You honestly dont think that "more people" would draw tags if there was a waiting period? This would provide more opportunity for a wider range of residents. Which in theory should make more people happy. But, if that isn't what the "task force" is after then this is nothing...

    No More Game Cameras in AZ!

    Thats probably why you killed him. You were looking for a deer instead of looking at a camera viewfinder trying to see what time he was drinking water. lmao.

    No More Game Cameras in AZ!

    My wife's uncle uses cellular trail cameras on his lease out of state. He gets 250 pictures day of deer. Its almost an addiction to him. Personally, I kinda like being surprised when I get there and I'm way too cheap to pay for a plan like he does so I dont use them. But I did put up a bunch of...

    No More Game Cameras in AZ!

    A friend in Utah said its ridiculous how many cameras are on the mountain just outside of salt lake over every "mud hole" as they call them. Some of them even have long range antennas to help better transmission of images and everything else. I like trail cameras but I do not agree with the...

    Wyo Task Force - Nonres Comments!

    Without some form of waiting period for tags, even if residents had 100% of the tags, you still will never have your belly's satisfied. Truthfully, I cant wait until you residents who are pushing your BS agendas cut out all of the NR tags and turn on each other like rabid dogs and stop...

    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...
