    As they lay

    My occasional-semi-annual MT whitetail hunt ended well.

    Weird Hunting Traditions

    We hunters, and fishermen (how many flies/lures you got?), are a superstitious lot. When my kids were growing into antelope hunters, it became required that we played Bat Out of Hell on the CD player when we hit the 2-tracks out in pronghorn country. The evidence that it worked is strong.

    Calgary Eats

    So, I have a conference in Calgary in a couple of weeks (just before the Stampede), and one of my small groups is looking for a good brewery/pub/restaurant where we can have an informal get together in a relaxed atmosphere. I haven't been to Calgary in over a decade so my intel is old. Any...

    Well, it's not good. Not religious but prayers are welcomed.

    Dave, your strength in willing to share this heart-wrenching journey is a testament to your and your family's strength. And to the community here on Hunt Talk. Very, very sorry for your loss.

    Congratulations to @Big Fin, conservation leader!

    Congratulations, Randy! Well-deserved! I know you do what you do out of passion and are not looking for accolades, but occasional recognition others value your contributions is always a nice warm-fuzzy.

    Good side of AI

    As discussed above, AI has really been around for a long time. In my academic world, we've variously called it iterative machine learning or even just computer modeling. I also tend to think there will be a lot of very positive applications of the evolving use of AI. The downside seems to be...

    UNIT 9 AZ LATE RIFLE HUNT

    Geez, guys, seems like some folks must not have done so well in the early tag draws. I keep thinking back to the quote from Thumper's mom. Anyway, as you might expect there's plenty of information available if you dig a bit. As an...

    Bitterroot Goats

    Being that I just spent the last two days listening to presentations about the growing use of drone technology in meteorological and atmospheric research, this seems like an ideal opportunity for the ever-growing world IR-equipped drones -- probably much cheaper too.

    Junior Hunt Talkers

    Man-oh-man, this post has me sentimentally reliving the many hours in the fields that I was fortunate to have with my kids as they grew up. They've moved on to their chosen pursuits, but the memories remain. My oldest first cow elk was straight up a very steep hillside, the first shot - right...

    MTNTOUGH - Randy

    At 64, I've almost reached Randy's previous red-line limit for elk hunting but I did do a Wyoming elk hunt and a Utah bighorn hunt last fall. I can't say they were as easy as when I was three decades younger, but I was pleasantly surprised I could do them without TOO MUCH discomfort. Time is...

    Hunting Camp/Wall Tent Questions

    I have the exact same Alaknak setup as WildWill and it has been great. It can get a little tight for more than 2-3 people, but we've had as many as 6. And so far it has stood up to some pretty hellacious storms, snow and wind, that flattened other tents - the center pole got a little warped...

    Sheep meat any good?

    We just grilled some round steaks off my California bighorn this weekend. Good stuff. Even my wife who's a little "exotic game" squeamish, thought it tasted about like deer - just a little chewy. She did go back for seconds ;).

    That awful sound twice

    I have had something similar happen twice, but with handloads (from the same batch of Federal BR primers - which I no longer use). First was at the range. Second was on a deer hunt. The click surprised me as a I was aiming at a pretty good whitetail. After the click, the buck was still...

    Greece

    If you're a lover of history, Greece is an adventure - you've just got to be ready and open for it. The Acropolis (and its museum) are amazing, Delphi gets your imagination flowing, some of the islands are well worth the ferry ride: Santorini is, yes, crowded, but quite beautiful and is the...
