So I woke up early Friday and drove by some mountains in Wyoming on my way to the prairie where I walked by an arrowhead and subsequently crawled to a nice perch to shoot an antelope just prior to enjoying a beautiful sunset when I decided to head back home by way of a cool canyon that would...
Sportsman's here in town never seems to have any blaze orange for children. Does anyone have a recommendation for somewhere to purchase a couple youth vests online? I'm' always hesitant to buy clothing without seeing it in person first. Thanks.
Let’s try this...
Hey guys. Long time lurker here. Thought I’d finally dive in after I drew a Roosevelt tag for the NW part of the Olympic Peninsula. I’ve never been out there and I work six jobs, have eight kids, and a two legged bird dog that consume my time so I won’t have time to scout...
Heading to the Olympic Peninsula for a week of camping after taking in a Mariners game next Saturday. Does anyone have any camping or hiking recommendations? Would prefer to find some good dispersed options but wouldn’t be opposed to an established campground (although it might be a little late...
Leave my little fish out of this! I could just as easily head to any of the rivers around here and do what you described. It just not that enjoyable anymore. I get your point though. Can’t imagine how good you had it growing up out here.
Not to derail the thread, but I think an even more eminent dilemma is that of angling opportunity, which has rarely been restricted outside of trout seasons. More people = more anglers (probably to a greater degree than hunters) and less water. While you can improve range conditions, it’s...
I’m not familiar with much outside of Montana, but based on conversations I’ve had with the powers that be within FWP, I don’t think anything changes with hunting opportunity until those people retire and hunters quit buying into the opportunity that exists regardless of the quantity and quality...
Not disagreeing/agreeing with anything that’s been said. Everyone has to decide what’s right for themselves. As much as I would like to see things return to how they were when I moved out here in 2002 (or even before then), I make the most of what the area has to offer and do what I can to help...
Will forever be grateful that this happened. My family and I spend much of our time recreating those once checkerboards areas. In fact, I was just up there last night enjoying a quiet evening on a couple streams with my pup.
Spent a couple nights at the head of the Green a few years ago with the family. Beautiful spot and fewer people than I was expecting. Good fishing for smallish fish (at least that’s all we caught) below the lake.
I grew up hunting and fishing the Blue Ridge. I found a couple nice bucks but they were needles in a field full of haystacks. If you want to spend some time in some beautiful country and not see a ton of people, do it. If you’re looking to shoot a big buck, go elsewhere.
