I miss the days of Tim McGraw being an alcoholic and forgetting the words to his own songs. Simpler times…
Now he’s a wannabe cowboy on Yellowstone married to Faith Hill; boy how times have changed :P
I have felt this way for years! Here’s the best channel I’ve found for new country:

I live about 2 miles from where the fire started; our dogs were at boarding (Dog Tag) marked with the red ❌ on the burn map. The fire happened fast; one dog was evacuated in time the other somehow escaped and was found a mile away by a Good Samaritan who got his chip read amidst the chaos and...

The more I listen to Matt Rinella's' argument(s) the more conflicted I feel about the whole agenda he's trying to push
"Recruit, Retain & Reactivate,” should only be done by friends and family members
He thinks there should be 50% less hunters
Blames the proliferance of trucks at the trail...
Definitely an awesome documentary; crazy how climbing Everest was barely a footnote.
I could have done without the mom/family narrative - I skipped over most of that. The heli-rescue shots were badass.
Maybe a different take but here it goes.
- I agree with not sharing the last moments of an animals life if/when a follow up shot is required. I have personally recorded it; but just to remind myself that I need to practice and take better shots. I don’t share it with anyone or anywhere

Glad it’s not my name being drug through the mud - but I hope this goes the way of the hunters and we get a judgment by fall 2022!
It was a quite elk rut, normal antelope rut, and tbd deer rut thus far.
How has the limited snow and warm weather impacted everyone’s hunt plans thus far? I’ve still got a MT deer tag and I’m waiting on a strong northern to hopefully make the most of a trip by the end of the month.

- Not carrying my Binos w/ me in a final stalk. Got busted because his head raised up and I couldn’t tell with the sage
- Shot I took on a muley and wasn’t able
to recover it. 45yds is within my effective range but I didn’t settle in on the shot in hindsight
- Elk I walked into on opening day of...
I see my role as an ambassador of sorts. If there’s even a whiff of that type of turn in conversation I’ll redirect to a variety of other tangential topics (wildlife sightings, adventures, preserving public lands). Most people haven’t met an outdoorsmen so it’s more of a conversation out of...
No, they (anti-hunter) don’t engage with me. I live in the most self-righteous liberal city in Colorado; people are generally curious and it’s always a respectful conversation.
Trying to tell a 6’ 4” guy driving his truck with a 70lb GSP in the back how to spend their time/money? Good luck with...
I think @Dave N was eluding to getting an elk out of that kind of situation being that far in.
Don’t over think it; wilderness areas hold plenty of elk and are not as recreated / pressured as you might think.
What I gather is you’re asking about how to hunt highly accessible and highly recreationalized unit in the early season.
Generally - the resident animals who stick around will be conditioned to human presence and pressure. You also didn’t clarify what you’re hunting, but being it’s OTC I’m...
