    Gun Confiscation!

    I would venture to say that by far, the vast majority of hunters would vote along the lines that I do. 100% of my hunting friends would.

Our Father in Heaven loves us so much that he sent His sinless and pure Son to suffer torture and ridicule... and death and Hell in our stead so that we may spend eternity in Paradise with Him. What a gift of love! May you all have a day filled with rememberance and His...

    How to cook rabbit meat?

    Fried cottontail and potaotoes/gravy is one of my all-time favorite meals. Roll them in seasoned flour, brown in hot oil, reduce heat/cover and simmer until tender. To speed things up, I will pressure cook the pieces in an insta pot for abot 20 minutes, removed and roll in flour mixture, then...

    WGFD license proposals 2022, big cuts to Antelope.

    I don't know that answer, but I suspect it is: 1) to appease ranchers as elk herds get on their hay fields and wreak havoc, and 2) Recent studies show that elk herds compete with mule deer biomass/food in an impactful way... and we all know what is happening to mule deer numbers.

    Preferred cartridge? Grip and grin pic added

    My go-to cartridges are 7mm-08 and .280 Rem. Have killed them beyond 600 yds with both. Pronghorns are not hard to kill. They can be difficult to judge their distance... so a good R.F. is a necessity IMO.

    Dog Food

    Black Gold!!! When I raised bird dogs, they did better on it than anything else. Firm poops, lots of strength and energy... and they loved it. For long, hard, multi-day hunts I always carried some bread and peanut butter or doggy energy bars. Nothing worse than seeing a pup hunt it's heart out...

    Where would you move to if you had your choice of any western State to live in?

    Yeah, but the wilderness areas are pretty small comparatively.

    Smoked Brook Trout

    Try crumbling some in an egg and cheese omelet. Delicious! I had it in a restaurant once and I smoke a few every now and then for snacking on crackers with cream cheese... and for omelets. Smoked nine last weekend myself.

    Dog Food

    I tried many. My hunting dogs seemed to do best on Black Gold. Firm poops, easy to clean up. Healthy dogs. Maintained proper weight and didn't require large amounts.

    Antelope numbers and tags issued?

    I fill several tags every year, holding out for a 70+" buck every season. I have never NOT filled all my tags as I allocate 8 days. I butcher my animals as I go. This season, due to moving the wife out there and finalizing my house build, I arrived 5 days early. I had an additional 9 days to...

    What Do You Consider Long Range?

    My limit is 700 yds... if I can lay prone and shoot off my pack. If in taller brush and using my tripod or pack sitting up, I limit to 500-550, but only if steady and comfortable.
