    Why coyotes need managed

    Several years ago I read a study conducted I believe on the Savana River military site attempting to determine the effect of coyotes and bobcats on deer populations. One takeaway concerning coyotes is that they check deer urine and can detect when a doe is close to giving birth (water...

    I need shotgun advice

    So many choices.........brings budget and hunting quarry & style into the discussion for narrowing the field. My 3 greatest passions for many years were waterfowl (decoyed), turkey and grouse. I shoot the same gun for waterfowl and turkey, albeit, with different barrels. I love Benelli's, I...

    Massive Nevada Solar Farm on BLM

    I did not. I have not found any studies that compare the total cost/footprint & effect on the environment of either of the green energy, gas fired or nuclear energy sources. And I'm skeptical of the amount of bias in articles/studies released by the industry and trade organizations. If anybody...

    Massive Nevada Solar Farm on BLM

    Nevada proposes to build a 6.2 GW solar production facility (s) on ~ 62,000 acres, on public land! Let me say it again - on PUBLIC LAND. So, ~10,000 acres to produce a GW of electricity. A recently built gas fired electric plant in my region...

    Solar Energy Comments due April 18, 2024

    This whole discussion is founded on the politics of Green Energy (a fallacious argument). If the government proposes to site solar farms on public acreage we as citizens need to demand a proper feasibility/accounting/environmental study showing the advantages for KW production per a given...

    Tree Planting Tips

    I suggest (if you haven't already) you reach out to your local state forester and discuss your objectives. My experience over 30+ yrs of owning/managing a 300+ acre tree farm is that the insight a professional can provide, not to mention specialized resources will greatly improve your success...

    Has anyone hunted elk from a kayak

    It really depends on the body of water, depth, obstructions and water speed. I used a Sportspal canoe for years to hunt rivers and swamps for waterfowl, turkey a deer. The canoes have a foam sponson that runs down both sides of the canoe aiding in stability. The canoes are wider than average and...

    Renamed: crisis averted

    No need to feel any guilt using a crossbow; now, if your sluicing birds on the ground or out of of a tree with a shotgun or shooting turkeys with a rifle.....well, that's just bad form! ;)

    Sad

    Rules that will keep you alive: 1. always have a paddle or pole in your hand when wading, probe depth and bottom before stepping forward. 2. have a sling on your shotgun. Sure makes it easier to retrieve if you go swimming. 3. strap your gun in the canoe..shit happens. 4.use the canoe or boat...

    Your best option is to find a competent instructor and get her lessons. I took my wife, daughter & SIL for classes with a police officer who trains for the county. After 4 hrs (2 separate classes) the gals were surprisingly proficient on safety, loading, chambering and shooting (7 yds) doing...

    KHunter ID Elk bowhunt 2023

    Great entertainment! Nothing like getting your monies worth on that tag. And the memory of the time you spent inside the rut crazed mob, gassed muscles, then to hit the mark for a clean kill, and to top it off have a husband/wife team (whom you had not met prior) show up and help with the pack...
