    Hairy Beasts and Smell Korns

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Shoulder mounts, half mounts and full mounts all take up significantly more space and I've seen plenty that don't do the animal any justice. Part of what I love about the euro mount is that it isn't trying to look like what the animal looked like in life. It...

    Public Lands Bills in Congress

    https://www.outdoorlife.com/conservation/congress-passes-explore-act/ I couldn't find a thread on this anywhere yet, but one of the bullets makes it look like it'll be easier for the FT crew to do their filming. I know they've done an absolute bang-up job following the rules, even to the point...

    Would you eat a CWD-positive animal?

    That NIH release is some of the best news I've seen about CWD in a long time. As much of a fuss gets raised about every fake news story regarding "zombie deer", I'm disappointed this didn't get more coverage when it came out more than six months ago. As to the discussion, to this date my wife...

    Bury Me In The Mackenzie Mountains

    Really amazing storytelling. Thank you. One of the Sheep Societies had a similar hunt they were raffling off that closed this week. I did the math on everything it didn't include and quickly realized the "free" hunt would still likely top 20k. I need to do a better job of putting money aside so...

    Bear calls: Electronic or hand-held?

    I've used a rabbit in distress call but without much effect (at least as I could make out)

    CVA ramrod guide clips and loading tips

    I only run the ramrod. I haven't had an issue yet but I run pretty standard projectiles.

    How to start

    Any recommendation on which is a more useful learning experience as far as applying the knowledge to a 1st rifle between an archery tag or a 2nd/3rd rifle?

    How to start

    So I have some stupid questions (insert "there are no stupid questions, only stupid people"). How do you start figuring out where you're going to apply? I have 5 elk points in CO and there's a chance my family circumstances might let me actually go on my first elk hunt either this year or next...

    2023/2024 Trapping Thread

    Are you doing your sewing by hand or do you have a machine?

    Can we just put HuntTalk forums behind a login?

    I'm in the same boat, not that it really matters. Odds are low I'd ever get to take advantage of that information anyway...

    Sabot Slugs vs Nilgai

    I've shot all but that WinLite and been pleased with accuracy overall. That said, having never shot a nilgai, I'd lean towards the more solid bullet construction as well. I've been very happy with both the Federal Trophy Copper and the Remington coppers for both accuracy and construction. So for...

    Ultralight Climbers

    I have the same saddle and just picked up the back band (one more thing to figure out...). Somehow like an idiot I just discovered this summer how to adjust the bridge. Talk about a freaking light bulb going off. For the life of me I hadn't been able to figure out how guys could have the tree...

    Ultralight Climbers

    I'm going into year 3 in a saddle and it's absolutely a learning experience. One step forward, one step back, eventually I'll get the hang of it. For someone that doesn't get out nearly as much as I want to because of family responsibilities, it's hard coming from a Summit climber making the...

    Shotgun slugs

    I've had success with pretty much all of the above mentioned slugs out of my 870. Best group was Hornady SSTs, but I shot my first deer with Remington copper solids (first with the slug, not first deer) and loved the lack of meat loss due to bloodshot loss. The kick from that gun has honestly...

    Wyoming Corner Crossing Defense Fund

    You cannot petition a court for a judicial interpretation of a law, no. You need an actual conflict.
