Argentina '24
Woke up the first hunting day and spent the morning getting guns sighted in with a short still hunt. We hunted a while and finally saw two nice stags bedded below a tree. As they were bedded with their backs to the wind they were facing directly at us and were at around 100 yards. My guide...- jpcoll01

Argentina '24
My Dad went to Argentina in 2022 with a group of guys he had never met. During the course of the week they became friends and agreed to come back two years later, so my Brother and I signed up and paid our deposits waaaay back then. Fast forward a couple years and it's time!! I decided to...- jpcoll01

Montana NR Big game combo draw odds
Totally get it, that's what I plan on doing. I'm going in with 0 and putting it in the lords hands, LOL. I didn't draw last year and still had a great fall in Montana with an OTC cow tag and an archery antelope tag. Should have points for a rifle antelope and a Whitetail B tag so that'll get... -
Montana NR Big game combo draw odds
True, but important to remember that if you go in with 0 you are stuck at zero, no buying a pref point later, only bonus points. -

2023/2024 Trapping Thread
Pulled traps today. As we were rounding the corner to a trap that hadn’t had anything all year we had a nice male coyote (rear pad catch so he was lunging). Wife got him killed and that’s a wrap for us this year.- jpcoll01

The Big Snip - How bad is it?
Everyone has already commented on this one but it's not bad if you listen to your doctor. I came straight from the procedure and didn't ice for a while. My boys swelled up to the size (not exaggerating) of paw paws (if you aren't from Appalachia you might not know what those are), it was...- jpcoll01

High Rental Market and what to do about it.
This shouldn't be overlooked. There is value in spending your time when you are young actually living and enjoying the freedom that your health and family situation allow you. Marriage and Kids are great, but once you are married and have kids you no longer get to consider your happiness...- jpcoll01

This is exactly our thinking. Turkey populations are down around our place and we are trying to reduce nest raiders. To be determined if it works.- jpcoll01

2023/2024 Trapping Thread
One more week for my family here in KY we got a little bit of snow last night so maybe things will move. I caught a skunk early in the week in a conibear and it closed right on its little weasel neck and didn’t harm it. I had to dispatch which made it spray. It was a stinky ordeal but I will...- jpcoll01

Gunsmith
Dan was nice enough to look at my Dad's old lever gun that fell apart as I was trying to shoot a lion last month :-) but did say he is only building custom rifles. Darn nice looking custom rifles I might add!- jpcoll01

Can we just put HuntTalk forums behind a login?
Bringing this back to the top. Seeing more and more posts that are just ChatGPT responses to prompts based on posts from this site. I believe putting this behind a login will help with some of this.- jpcoll01

3D printing terrain maps
Also, the LIDAR maps are amazing, will help you understand your property more than walking around, can see old skid roads, benches that may be hidden by trees or brush, etc.- jpcoll01

3D printing terrain maps
That's neat, in the East those lines would more than likely follow the ridgelines and not be square. I think a bright red property line along a ridge would look really cool. What size is your print bed? Could you do 12x12"? I'd like one 30x30 of the family farm and the piece I bought that...- jpcoll01
