That snake den is quite interesting. Some years when we hike into it we find nothing, the snakes are way deep into it. Then other years they are out all over the place to the point that you really need to be careful on where you step. The year that I found it there was a beautiful diamondback...
It's my walking stick along with helping steady my pistol. It is a stem off of a yucca plant. It has kept me from hitting the ground a number of times and when we hike into the canyon that has the rattlesnake den in I can use it to move the snakes around a little to get a better picture...
I agree with CC.
To keep out of the poor house with any of the Weatherby round you need to reload. Why pay $100+ for a box of 20 when you can load them yourself for less than $40?
We started out this year wondering just where we were going to live while we were down in Arizona. We had been staying with a good friend who passed away in 2020. Then I called the old motel that we had stayed in and they were closed due to covid. I tried a number of other motels around the...
Depending on the size of the bull that you want very little scouting may be required in this unit.
When I hunted it back in 2015 we scouted the south end but in the end we didn't find what we were looking for as far as size so we swapped to the north end only knowing the roads.
We didn't do...
We've had a couple of hunters treating a couple of washes that we hunt like a off road race. They almost hit my partner head on the other day not to mention the damage that they are doing to the truck that they are in.
But they left the other day and tonight we started seeing tracks back down...
Quick report, in 5 days we only have 1 javelina down. They are harder to find this year than winning Powerball tickets.
The wind hasn't helped any it is constantly blowing 10 to 15 mph, today turned off hot and got into the lower 80's.
One more day to get 1 more pig but from what I saw this...
In our area the size of a herd is trending downward, most of the time we'll see small groups of 4 or 5 very seldom much larger. The last large herd that I saw was back in 2009 and there were over 30 in that herd. But we had a hard time finding them that year until we ran into that herd.
But we...
While everyone here is talking about putting in for tags, what unit to put in for, and the lack of reloading supplies I am going to head to Arizona for the HAM's javelina hunt that starts this coming Friday.
And yes the quail hunt is still going to be going on but by now those little buggers...
Some of the ones in the pack in Colorado have wandered over towards the Walden area, getting close to the front range.
They have had some news reports on cattle being killed in the area along with a cattleman's dog getting killed and particularly eaten and another one tore up some.
One nice thing is that when he is convicted and banned from hunting in Colorado he will also be banned from hunting in 45 other states including Pennsylvania.
If you are wondering what states are not included in the IWVC they are Massachusetts, Road Island, Nebraska, and Delaware but these 4...
I'm wondering what he is expecting the outcome to be by pleading not guilty?
I also wonder why he took a shot when he just saw a patch of white when unit 71 has a 4 pt antler restriction for all seasons, so he did need to see at least one antler to confirm that the elk that he was shooting at...
