    Scouting by drone

    To the OP; I'd bet with some digging and asking around, it would be possible to find a hunt club/lease in TX that would allow you to hunt tons and in a way that fits your physical limitations. Also, remember that hunting is not only big game. Lots of small and upland game to pursue. Find some...

    Harvest Right Freezer dryer

    Just think of all the prepper chicks that thing would pull!

    New big boomer build.

    Thinking there's not much you couldn't hunt with that. Looking forward to the range reports.

    Shooting a Mono bullet from an older rifle

    I'd have no problem shooting a mono in that rifle. I would take the time to try to clean it to bare metal first through.

    Camp knife

    Buck trapper pocket knife. It's been used to open bags of snacks to field dressing critters. It's always on me.

    The Sage Grouse Crisis has Reached Critical Mass

    I don't have the numbers anymore, but IIRC nesting success and overwinter survival went up significantly. To be accurate, the transplanted birds were augmenting a struggling, local population. Here's a link to a paper looking at the effects of the predator control for that population...

    The Sage Grouse Crisis has Reached Critical Mass

    When I was in UT, the DWR did heavy predator control (mostly red fox, ravens/magpies) to help sage grouse that were being relocated to help bolster a struggling population. I was surprised at the nesting/survival success numbers between control and no control.

    The Sage Grouse Crisis has Reached Critical Mass

    GPS studies of grouse where I used to work offered some surprising insight on to habitat use, especially by hens with chicks. Come about late August, lots of the hens moved out of areas dominated by sagebrush to an area with very little sagebrush. Old dryland wheat farms that were then big...

    The Sage Grouse Crisis has Reached Critical Mass

    IMO personnel moving around is small to non-issue when it comes to implementing policy/projects. Things like monitoring/inventory/data collection it is more of an issue, but still far from large. Leadership and leadership commitment to working on the issue. From DC to field office.

    Trade or sell Components.

    My wife bought a pistol for herself on Friday. Will source factory rounds for carrying, but would like to load rounds for practice. Anyone with some 380 ACP dies that they'd be willing to part with?

    The Sage Grouse Crisis has Reached Critical Mass

    I'll leave the bison portion of that post alone... Grazing and GSG has been studied a whole lot. Much of that work shows that "good" grazing is not bad for GSG. The 2015 plans had a lot of holes. Some of the blanket statements regarding vegetation parameters were laughable. Sagebrush canopy...

    The Sage Grouse Crisis has Reached Critical Mass

    I'd not be surprised if I didn't collect my MS thesis (sagebrush browsing study) data on the same ranch you were catching sage grouse!!

    Dumb Question - Ackley Improved Dies

    That's a good thing to know! I figured the shoulder would hit before the seater. Now I just need to track down a 223AI body and/or neck die!

    .243 ammo preference

    If you can find some, the Federal Fusion 95gr shoots very well out of my boys' 243 and has worked very well on over 1/2 dozen deer. Always exited and no deer has made it more than 40yds after the shot. The 80gr blue box shoots well also, but we've not put one in a deer yet.

    SD sheep auction

    I'd be okay with that as well. In a state like SD, I'm sure pheasant money helps many, many other programs and species than just pheasants... Heck, a small percentage increase in pheasants or access to pheasants would impact more hunters than a doubling of sheep tags. ;)
