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

    Amazing adventure to share at a great time in your lives. Congratulations on the awesome billies as well. I've been trying to talk my 17 year old son into doing something like this as his senior trip but he thinks it would be too much effort and rugged. I'll have to tell him a pregnant lady...

    Breakneck Billy: A Goat Hunt On Crack

    Amazing to go from a phone call on a turned back tag to a magnificent billy on the ground in such a short amount of time! My lungs are burning just thinking about 1 of those days and the fact that you guys pulled off 3 back to back is amazing. Lots of hard work.

    Survivors of polygamist sect fence off 1,000 acres of US Forest Service land in southwestern Colorado

    Saw this surfing the Tube the other day. Looks like they have been doing a lot more than just building fence on public land, there are a LOT of recently cut trees in the background of the video.

    Idaho for retirement ?

    Idaho has a pretty hefty 5.8% income tax rate but has fairly low property tax rates and sales tax is not as high as several states. If you aren't going to be having much taxable income in retirement the higher income tax rate might not be so bad and is offset by the lower property tax and sales...

    Percentage of fat in ground meat

    Here we can generally get very high quality beef fat for free. Stuff they trim off of steaks and brisket.

    I'm generally around 10%.

    5 states, 4 species, and hopefully a boys first deer.

    Good luck!

    Taking clients hunting: Give me pointers

    A couple local banks do something like this. One does a somewhat canned pheasant hunt with the guides running dogs and then an awesome lunch afterwards. Another just does a skeet shooting tournament with a morning flight and afternoon flight with a nice lunch for everyone in the middle, They...

    iPhone GPS Battery Life

    Generally it is going to be active screen time that drains a device, not just the GPS running. If you are constantly looking at the screen and it is lit up in full sun then that is going to drain the device much quicker than if you are checking it every 30 minutes or an hour or something like...

    The perfect ATV setup

    I've been looking at upgrading my ATV to something with power steering. From talking with people who have upgraded to an ATV with power steering they don't seem very likely to ever switch back. I don't use my 450 Grizzly very much and am thinking I will just put it in a storage container on...

    The perfect ATV setup

    I have the Rzr 570 trail that I use occasionally for hunting. It goes on the 50” trails and can haul a lot and 2 people can ride comfortably in it. I have had 2 different Yamaha Grizzly 450 4x4 ATVs that have both been rock solid. Sold the first one with 10,000+ miles on it (I got it used with...

    Orange Washing

    For sure this is going on. For sure there are some big companies doing a lot for conservation that aren't on the list. So if you pay the dues to 2% for conservation, that counts as spending money on conservation? I'm sure for some of these companies the dues wouldn't be a blip on the radar...

    2024 Texas Whitetail

    Got him butchered up last night. Took right at 3 hours. Ended up with 26 pounds of steaks and roasts and 38 pounds of burger. I did add 5 pounds of beef fat to the burger. I weighed my trim pile with the scraps of fat and silver skin I cut off and that was 11 pounds. So boneless meat before...

    2024 Texas Whitetail

    Got the jawbone back from the taxidermist today. The lower incisors are more worn than any deer I’ve ever shot. The wear on the molars confirms my guess of 7.5+. I’m thinking he might be older.

    Guided Wyoming Horseback Elk Hunt Recommendation

    Not sure if he is still doing it, but I think Bob Sundeen used to get good reviews on his operation. It is a fairly big camp so not sure if that is what you are looking for or not. I think you have enough points for that unit. No personal experience with him, but there are several positive...

    Another meat safety question. Elk not recovered for 24 hours.

    I just went back and re-read this entire thread. I think there is some beneficial advice in here. Thanks again to everyone that responded as I was trying to decide what to do on this. We are about done eating the elk and out of the 140lbs or so that I kept we only had that one roast that...

    Another meat safety question. Elk not recovered for 24 hours.

    Yes, my reaction to finding my son's elk was take a few quick pictures and then getting the knife out and starting to cut. And that was in below freezing temperatures. I just checked the time stamp on the pictures and the very first picture of the elk once we found it was at 4:20 then it looks...

    2024 Texas Whitetail

    Thanks. My place is a little north and west of Brownwood but probably only 100 miles or so. My place is about 30 miles Northwest of Sweetwater. They call it the rolling plains. It's been cool in the mornings and then pretty warm in the afternoons but cools down quick again when the sun goes...
