    In pursuit of my first bull - nothing like I had planned.

    Great write up and great story of persistence. I can imagine how frustrating and, at times, demoralizing having a mystery illness would be, and I’m really sorry you’re going through that. But man, it’s impressive and a testament to your character that you’re not letting it stop you...

    How to decimate a mule deer herd: A case study in Wyoming

    Another quote from the article: “There’s no doubt that a lot of our grassland and a lot of shrublands were way more productive [for mule deer] in the 1950s than they are now,” Heffelfinger said. “It’s something that’s hard to point to and say, ‘Look at that problem,’ because it’s just such a...

    How to decimate a mule deer herd: A case study in Wyoming

    Maybe I’m missing something, but it sounds like they did end all doe hunting. From the article: “The state agency has already taken the biggest step in its power to help both herds, ending all doe and fawn hunting.”

    Excluding Hunting/Hunters from Wildlife Management - Episode 1 of 4

    What do humans want more than anything? A sense of connection. With each other, with the world. To know and be known. Why should hunting, and all its pursuits, be excluded from that? It is as much a part of who we are as being in a community, or a family. Because love is love, right? We take...

    Excluding Hunting/Hunters from Wildlife Management - Episode 1 of 4

    Yes. Ugh. This is true. It makes me uncomfortable to acknowledge, but it’s true. But damn, all I have to do now is step outside and I’m in the real world (nature, that is) and my god what a difference that has made for my soul since moving out of the city. Maybe it’s a cop out, but the whole...

    Excluding Hunting/Hunters from Wildlife Management - Episode 1 of 4

    So you’re saying that it could (and would) be argued that hunting itself is a sort of dominance over wildlife? That when a wolf hunts, she is instinctually acting as a part of the web of the natural world, whereas when I hunt, I am merely exerting my dominance over it? I could see that being...

    Excluding Hunting/Hunters from Wildlife Management - Episode 1 of 4

    First off, @Big Fin, thank you for putting this series together. Your work of trying to bring hunters together to focus on the issues that matter most is truly invaluable, and I am grateful that using your voice in that way is the primary objective of your platforms. It's what separates you from...

    Blood meridian movie

    That would be a tough story to take on cinematically, but I’m excited. Sort of wish the Cohen brothers were doing it—they did a phenomenal job with NCFOM.

    Write offs as Hunting Guide

    I was a fly fishing guide for a couple years on a 1099. I was able to write off equipment, vehicle and boat costs and maintenance, river shuttles, and gas. Gas was the largest expense, and being able to write that off for river trips, as well as scouting trips, was huge. It’s been well over a...

    My birdfriend's back and they're gonna be in trouble (Hey la, hey la, my birdfriend's back)

    Been a while since I checked in on this thread—like usual, it’s some of the neatest, most fascinating storytelling on Hunt Talk. I’m fairly confident I’m not consistently detail-oriented enough to get into falconry myself, but it sure is interesting to read about. I hope your next bird expands...
