    2024 Garden!

    Can you run hose with a sprinkler attachment to the edge of the garden plot then use an electric timer between the spigot and hose so gets some water even if not home for a few days?

    Hunter Nation seeking more UT General Fund appropriations for wolves

    Does he have a home built in what had been the mule deer migration path before McMansions and fences were erected?

    Elk Pictures w/ Score

    Has been about 15 years since tipped this bull over. Narrow. Beams not that long. I think was 349" net. Or low 350s.

    Best gravy?

    You need fat as fat has most of the flavor. The fat can't be too strong, though. I have had some baked raccoon though did not make gravy. I missed the boat back in my youth when ran a trapline and ran raccoons with red tick hounds.

    Devaluing Non-Residents

    Not sure someone complaining about being mugged is a whiner. Wyoming set up a points scheme for non-residents when residents had no such scheme. Restricts where I can carry a gun while holding a hunting tag yet I can walk anywhere with a fishing tag, a birdwatcher's book or a pair of hiking...

    Not sure who needs to hear this

    Good luck! Was a nice run but WY now joins CA, WA and OR as states I have said adios to over the years. Seems morbid to try and outlive the 95% of the guys ahead of me that will never draw a tag so I can draw a tag then need to drag oxygen tanks up a mountain ridge at 85 years old. My odds to...

    Are we really fighting Dataism?

    My experience on solo adventures is where I gained confidence my skill set was diverse and quite adequate. My experience coaching others at work and on adventures is where I felt very inspired as a giver to others. My experience as a teammate or apprentice is when I learned to be humble and take...

    Final day of Dry January!

    I used to drink a few beers a month. I still do, but I used to, also. (RIP Mitch) I do not recall my last alcoholic drink but perhaps early November. I am in my 60s and I just don’t hang out with people the days that pound drinks. Not a purposeful action but is what it is. I guess am at peace...

    Stolen Rifle Recovered 15 years later

    Maybe, Bondo putty on the stock for that shade tree mechanic vibe? I always use synthetic stocks on new builds.\ because wood swells when humid and wet which can put pressure points on the barrel. As have a longer poke, anything that unpredictably shifts accuracy day to day is a headache for me.

    Stolen Rifle Recovered 15 years later

    I like a few scars. I would not change anything about the gun other than the rust issues. Several ways to do that, though, but I would likely sand and seal so looked like a trapper had carried the gun in rough terrain for the past 15 years. You can just buy a pretty gun to leave in the safe when...

    Wyoming Sheep Point Thought

    Agreed. Being old does not get me a better odds at the casino, easier chance with the drunk barmaid at closing time, or a lower cost of fuel at the gas station. What being older does get me is I am wiser with what I do with my time and money. I also had more chances over the years to pull a...

    Reporter mistakes mountain lion for a dog

    I see one cougar and one dog. One of them can talk. One of them can tree a raccoon. Send picture of boat.

    Public Land and Over the Counter Moose Hunt

    Great job! I have looked at hunts in Alberta. Your bull moose would scare the crap out of an Albertan or Shiras bull moose! Wow!!

    Corner Crossing latest

    I had a tag in the area and had my spouse drop me where the public paved road passed through a public square of land. Was before OnX so not always obvious to hunters what fences were okay to climb. You had to read maps. Decipher roads, railroad tracks, etc. then read the odometer as drove from...

    Wayne LaPierre Resigned

    Sometimes cutting off the head of the snake does not actually kill the snake. "New" leadership may not be possible with the culture of excesses that have existed for decades now which were very well known and allowed to exist through driving out Ollie North who asked valid questions about...

    Wayne LaPierre Resigned

    Good riddance. NRA is dead to me due to his behavior. Chased off Ollie North who wanted accountability. Bought fancy pants shirts in Beverley Hills. How special. Set up an apartment for a, ahem, young intern. How nice. He was toxic.

    Montana - Time to Shake it Up?

    I would suggest some WY pronghorn units see more bucks and likely does, too, harvested by NR vs R. Maybe in Pronghorn WY units 23 or 24? Does MT do 100% harvest road checks? Mandatory reporting? I do not trust voluntary self-reporting as people lie which muddies up the sampling and reduces...

    Collective wisdom about hunting NM

    Non-resident but have hunted NM for three decades though not much since all the changes that hurt my odds to draw tags. Here is my take. May be flawed but, hey, do your own research. Similar to WA in NM since you can have multiple choices which are considered before the draw goes to the next...

    WY 2024 App Booklet is up

    At $6K you are going to see quite a few upper middle class non-resident applicants taking pause. Joe Six Pack got flushed out on the past big jump in price. (in 2023 were 443 NR applicants for bull bison which is 1/5 of how many apply for sheep and 1/2 compared to mountain goat and 1/40 vs bull...

    When to declare MT residency in transition from owning a home in another state and in MT?

    Choose your last U.S. state of residency wisely if you are moving overseas. You can sell everything you have in America thinking have severed ties with your last state of residency and you will never owe that state or any other state income taxes while you live overseas for years as a U.S...
