    WY General Elk - Who's In?

    I had it last year and while I didn't take a bull it was a wonderful archery hunt. I ran into 1 other hunter off the roads in 16 days of hunting (lost first half of season due to an injury while scouting up there that sidelined me and generated a nice Urgent Care bill in Laramie). Called in...

    Why are polar fleece shirts inexpensive, polar fleece pants expensive?

    Couple things from my apparel days: Typical pant has multiple components (waistband, belt loops or drawstring, pockets, reinforcement, fly, closure of some kind, etc), thus, manufacturing tooling and labor is more expensive (and more than one type of raw material is required). Typical pant...

    Gratuitous Bird and Dog Photos

    Went back up for our second 5-day split in SD last weekend. Lots of birds, lots of point/reposition/points, lots of wild flushes and lots of inches-away points in the cattails. Didn’t get stuck on any min maintenance roads so that was a win, also. SD never ceases to amaze. We see more birds in...

    Gratuitous Bird and Dog Photos

    That looks like the most cattail-poundingest group of dogs I’ve ever seen!

    Are we haggling over the wrong things?

    I just started reading Dan Flores’ new book about humans relationships with wild animals - I’m only about 100 pages in but somehow I get the feeling the data behind that graph Is going to play a large role. (book: https://www.amazon.com/Wild-New-World-Animals-America-ebook/dp/B09TQ2TMN2)

    pheasant legs

    Are they wild birds? If so - 145 is fine (salmonella, et al are generally not prevalent in wild birds). If they're farm-raised, 165. Either way - low and slow is the ticket with legs to moderate dryness. I can tell you I'll be making that 'Crack Chicken' above from HW. That looks fantastic and...

    Did Colorado shorten the 2023 1st Rifle & 2nd Rifle Season?

    Yeah, ignore my post, not sure why that document doesn’t align with reality, but @Dsnow9 and @Oak are correct, as usual, I’ll edit mine out.

    ...

    I lived in GRR for 4 months before I moved to CO many moons ago. It was springtime, and I spent basically every non-working moment chasing Steelhead. I’m sure things have changed in 25 years but outside of the rapids downtown (which is quite an experience) and a couple other hotspots within an...

    Get a new key or live dangerously? Poll

    You're just gambling if you don't replace it. Every time I hit a wicked pothole or stretch of lumber truck washboard I wonder if I just rattled off the magnetic box with my spare fob. NTM - for most of us (incl you) - the places you might be when you need a lockout/tow could result in a bill...

    Don’t torch your spot

    thanks for a new obsessdistraction. Based on the first free sets, and geography nerd that I am, geoguessr is going to take up a lot of time, I think.

    Any South Dakota pheasant reports?

    Also, a lot of late hatch birds this year. Several roosters that were barely recognizable as such depending on the angle.

    Any South Dakota pheasant reports?

    Got back from SD yesterday. Mobridge area was excellent. Numbers were high and cover is decent. I’d say over 60% of corn is out and they’re making really quick work of the rest. it hadn’t rained for a month until the other night so it is very dry. Most of our normal cattail sloughs are dry, and...

    Little things that will piss off the wife

    My ex-BIL worked with an Amish guy (near Champaign, IL) - they were both Software Engineers. BIL had to power up dudes computer and the. Shut it down every day. Apparently if something electric is already ‘On’, it was OK. So weird. same but it’s grouse and pheasants in the sink. If a stray...

    From a ranch, but HOLY CRAP!

    But...from the article: "The bull elk could possibly set a new world record in Safari Club International’s Record Book, which is considered the gold standard of encyclopedias of big-game animals." /sarcasm I'm glad the guy is happy with it. I also wish operations like Broadmouth Canyon didn't...

    CPW Commission updating 80/20 allocation

    I have to admit when I first saw ‘Gateway’, I assumed it had to be Gateway HS in Aurora. I always also do what @TOGIE did and email the individual commissioners. Or at least cc: them individually. In the past, I struck up a couple of 1:1 convos with commissioners this way, and as I had met...

    CPW Commission updating 80/20 allocation

    Oh, I get it - but that's the excuse being floated in their public commentary.

    CPW Commission updating 80/20 allocation

    Email Sent. Thanks, as always, @Oak for the data. It's so mind bending that a potential loss of almost 1000 elk licenses, and 415 deer licenses from Residents (e.g. if they simply update 80/20 for 2019-2021 preference point levels versus raising the criteria to >=10 R points) is being proposed...

    Any South Dakota pheasant reports?

    We'll be in Mobridge end of the month and then again in mid-November (which is our normal time frame - so the earlier season conditions will be pretty new to us). Word on bird counts from our landowner friend is "better than last year, not as good as normal". Last year was decent, so thats a...
