Of all the doe-only tags in Western states it’s probably the least economic for a non-resident. I can’t speak to every deer herd in the state but we’ve got plenty where I hunt.
I actually go to Nebraska to top off my freezer; way easier terrain, weather, and longer season. I think it’s $97 for...
Great article! First time hearing the perspective from a rancher and what it’s like to deal wolves, the economic impact, and the general lack of resources to deal with the issue
I live out West and would not get rid of a truck to have a UTV. Couple of things to consider (Heat/Warmth, reliability, storage/hauling, how many are usually in your hunting party).
UTVs are super exposed which sucks when it get cold/windy; truck can haul a whole elk off the mountain vs...
We have mandatory reporting in Colorado for bears; sort of a hassle but I also didn’t really have a problem doing it. The challenging thing was I had a work trip the following it day and I think you have like 48hrs to report it in or it’s illegal possession. Taxidermist has helpful but said he...
I live at elevation (5,500’) so that’s a helpful starting point. My background is endurance races (Ironman / Ultras / Marathons) and I have two dogs that need exercise. I usually do an hour of weights and an hour of running a day. Season dependent I cross country ski. Shed hunting is my...
Glad this was brought up - I’ve got some calls to make this week. Not sure I understand the logic of having more predators around makes sense (recreational activities) and I also don’t like the infringement by career politicians on my ability to go after game animals.
Why can’t we get more regs...
@ajricketts - I’m not knocking anything about their military background in my commentary. My comment is specifically about their endurance/physical achievements they regularly serve up on social media and have in their respective books (which I’ve enjoyed mind you). It doesn’t impress me. On top...
Cam H is a great (positive) personality and a decent role model for new hunters; I also like UA hunting gear because it breathes well and the pattern works great for the terrain I hunt. Didn’t know / didn’t care CH was sponsored by them.
That being said - his story isn’t that impressive to me...
Time to contribute to the tribal knowledge.
Wife came down with symptoms (cough/sore throat) after the holidays but tested negative. Retested Sunday morning and was positive; told me while I was goose hunting w/ my buddy that we went to the rodeo with the night before. We’re all 2x vax’d &...
Colorado: Turkey (spring), Deer, Elk. PP Moose, Sheep, Goat
Wyoming: Deer, Antelope, maybe Cow Elk too
Nebraska: Deer
Utah: PP (Deer/Elk)
Montana: PP (Deer/Elk)
Been doing some waterfowl (Geese) already in 2022. Like Pheasant and shed hunting in the spring!
This list is based on “thrill”, weapon limitations, and variety of terrain that would make these all deadly hunts:
1. Louisiana Gator - +12’ - Snagging/bow fishing tackle
2. Arizona Mountain Lion - Hounds / Longbow/ Dry Tracking
3. Alaska Kodiak Grizzy Bear - 44mag Revolver
4. Texas Wild Hog -...
Worked:
- GoHunt Membership - saved me hours of my life this year and drew tags most everywhere I chose to hunt
- Truck build out (RTT, sleeping gear)
- Trekking poles
- Fast & Light - built my hunting style around this
- Still hunting, never thought it’d work but wow is it effective
