    And…we are off!

    This made me chuckle. Pretty sure I did the exact same tour when we were stuck in Kodiak for 2 days trying to get out to our hunt. According to the signs, there was a big brownie somewhere on the tour as well 🤣

    To “The Rooftop of The World” for Ibex in Tajikistan

    I’ve heard of people planning “babymoon” vacations, but I’m pretty sure no one could ever top this fortuitous alignment of events if they tried! Such a cool experience, and seems like at the perfect time. Congratulations all around to you both!

    The fun is just starting when you pull the trigger- a sheep story

    Wow. Incredible effort. Beautiful pictures and amazing story! Congratulations! You earned every bit of that one, and then some.

    Meat safety - wounded animal 3

    If there was a proliferation of blood vessels there, the injury has likely been there for a while. Good chance he would have survived. I’ve seen some pretty incredible healed injuries. Hard to say whether it was septic or not without seeing/testing, but I think you made a decent decision in...

    Is this normal?

    It could be an artifact of a lot of factors. Yes, sharptails are often patchily distributed on the landscape. You can cover miles and not see anything, but then when you find them you really find them. Yes, drought will sometimes have them more concentrated. Not necessarily just around water...

    Percentage of fat in ground meat

    Have never added fat to any of our ground meat - elk, antelope, deer, mtn goat, moose. We like the unique flavors of each, and if you don’t smash and overcook the burgers they are plenty tender and juicy and hold together just fine. We only add pork fat if we’re making sausage because, well...

    Shank it? or Crank it? Only the Billy knows

    Very happy you got everything you were hoping out of this experience. Well earned animal, and great retelling of the story. Congratulations!

    Help launch the North American Pronghorn Foundation - GoFundMe

    I think as more and more people keep eyeballing western public lands as the answer for our energy/housing/social problems, pronghorn are going to be one of the most heavily impacted species. They’re going to need all the help they can get. Donation made. Best of luck on this endeavor.

    Gals, how did you learn to hunt?

    I guess my learning to hunt journey has been a little bit all over the place. My dad starting teaching my two brothers and I to shoot when we started kindergarten. He was not a big hunter himself but did go on the occasional deer or elk hunt. But for whatever reason, it never occurred to him...

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    Right, but at least part of the intent is still to shift some of the rut-hunting, Turkey day deer slaying tradition pressure to whitetails rather than mule deer, correct? Plus I often see suggestions that folks should stock up on whitetail b tags if they just want meat, etc etc. There just seems...

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    Getting something concrete to start the discussion is one of the hardest parts of the process IMO, so many thanks to the group for doing the hard work. I am optimistic about much of this proposal. I’m hopeful that some of these changes will reduce the crowding. That, and the accompanying hunting...

    Let Them Roam - A Bison Yarn

    I’ve been on hiatus, contemplating whether HT is worth the bother any more. Then I read this story. You are a gifted and compelling story teller. Thank you so much for sharing.

    Threating a Waterfowl Production Area with an Office Complex

    There are 4 other refuges, over a dozen WPAs and two conservation areas with conservation easements to be administered. The Bison Range was just the most visible piece of a larger refuge complex. That said, I’m not sure putting new facilities on a WPA is the best nor most fiscally responsible...

    Devaluing Non-Residents

    Reposting your tables @Oak because they deserve to be seen again. The fact that several NR on this very thread can look at these numbers, coupled with the drastic increases in NR demand over the same time period, and then keep right on trucking with the “I don’t get enough opportunity”, is...

    Hunting: Human Vulnerability to Orf Virus?

    So, as is often the case, there are many related viruses in the pox virus group, each often affecting a different species or group of animals. Orf is in the same Parapoxvirus genus as some others that affect deer, cattle, and other hooved animals globally. Orf virus itself is probably less well...

    Tiny skulls

    That turned out really nice. My only tip if you are doing the boiling method would be to run the simmer fluids through a strainer. And have some kind of fine strainer over the sink drain to catch teeth. Smallest teeth will be in the center, getting larger as you move outward. They’ll only...

    Cue the Bambification of CO's wolves...

    I actually happened to be in Denver last week and talked to a few folks about this, and other CO-centric predator subjects. Thoughts I guess are: Wolves were coming anyway. Reintroduction simply advanced the timeline. The complete lack of any type of plan for management once “recovery” is...

    Fwp December commission meeting

    Yep, just your run of the mill keyboard warrior. I’ve never done anything remotely useful for wildlife. Too busy typing on my warrior keyboard to have any clue what podcast you are referencing. Was that supposed to hurt my feelings? 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m out. This is going nowhere, as usual. Thinking a...
