Archery Targets
I built a 4' x 4' backstop similar to Z Barebow's, but uses it as an occasionally-needed backdrop to my smaller foam or bag targets at 40+ yards. Works fine for broadheads or field points...except the kinetic energy of the arrows apparently causes the foam to melt as the shaft drives into the... -
A missed opportunity, darn it!
I got an interesting call on Wednesday while walking into my office. A nice lady from the Montana FWP called to let me know I was the first alternate on a returned 361 mountain goat tag and it was mine if I wanted it! A few minutes of "yeah, right", then euphoria, then realization... As a...- ovis2

Banff/Jasper area - suggestions?
Second (third? fourth?) all of the above. It was only mentioned once, but Moraine Lake is a must. Even more beautiful than Lake Louise, used to be on the Canadian twenty dollar bill, I think.- ovis2

Sunrise and sunset direction and timing calculator
I'm with you Paul. A little more understanding of the wonders of science is good in my book, and it's also a great learning tool for explaining the earth and sun's relationships to kids and those of us who act like kids (the latter is a basket I often find myself in).- ovis2

WY lope tags, who got em?
Against the odds, and for the second year in a row, we drew our first choice with zero points and odds in the single digits.. I do love antelope hunting. -

Late Season Wy
I echo the above advice. This past two years I hunted them mid-to-late October. Larger herds, very spooky, colder and windier, sometimes wetter, but almost no one else out there. Getting to be my favorite time to hunt them. -
NM: Desert Bighorn Sheep + OIL Elk
Congratulations! Way cool! Eighteen years ago or so, I had the pleasure of being involved with re-establishing the desert sheep in the Ladrones. I was living in Socorro at the time, but now so much time has passed my info would be quite dated. I do know the sheep wander around and have even...- ovis2

Dreaming of eating like a king (or queen)
Actually, this is the 2nd picture in the series. In the first the bull is looking forward and the king/queen's head is barely visible. The 3rd picture the bull is gone and the k/q is crouching/stalking across the middle. The 4th, the k/q is a blurred blob running out of frame to the right... -

I'm going to check the cameras on more time before the season starts, but there has been some activity... That split beam raghorn, horned up against the camera that same night and turned it around the tree. -

Trophy or meat ?
I feel kind of guilty, but I've been fortunate - between myself and my kids - over the last several years to almost always be able to draw a cow elk tag or two here in UT. That is extra to any bull (or buck) tags we may draw here or elsewhere. So while I don't hold out for B&C trophies only... -
Chris Brackett - CWD expert
In my other life (egg-head college professor), I constantly run into well-meaning, but shall we say willingly under-educated, folks who would rather believe old wives tales then well-vetted science. One of my favorite parts of the article is “When comparing rutting buck urine, human urine...- ovis2

Arizona quail questions?
I'm no expert, but I used to live in New Mexico and did some quail hunting and I just spent 5 days (harvest-wise unsuccessful, but great time) chasing Coues in the Superstition Mountains east of Phoenix. Where we were sturdy boots would be a must - sharp rocks and steep country. It was cold...- ovis2
