    NRA Warns Hunters to Prepare for War

    A boogyman lobbying group for firearms and ammunition makers. The entire 2nd amendment has been consistently redefined since the late 1960s. There are fewer restrictions on firearms in the last two decades than the last 200 years. Texas and Florida are removing laws that date from the...

    Flying vs. driving to Hunt out West from the East any experiences appreciated

    I drove from NY to SWCO last year solo. I have no issue driving and I just threw on some books on tape or a podcast and settled in. For me, I could bring whatever I wanted and have a nice comfy base camp at the truck in addition to a couple of spike camp outfits depending on what I wanted to...

    Back Problems....Any success stories?

    My neck not my lower back .. I have a titanium plate and six screws in my neck from an older wrestling accident. It took seven years to manifest itself completely, but when it did I was in tears. Five years post-surgery I can do pretty much anything I want to now, within reason. If I do too...

    Yoopers Kicked out of Cabins by Feds

    I have some sympathy for cabin owners, but it is public property and IMO the USFS isn't (and shouldn't) be in the business of leasing out private recreational properties. The Adirondacks in NY has a very long and complicated history with leases, cabins, and private camps on public land. Up...

    A big week for our platforms

    Just wanted to post a quick thank you Randy for putting up these youtube videos. Spring has been late up here in the northeast and these are handy for evening viewing. As an aside, the wife really likes a lot of the landscape shots and enjoys watching your shows as well (she just asks me to...

    Drawing the line

    While smaller government may be a worthwhile goal, the word "small" doesn't lend itself to being defined easily. Small to me may mean something completely different to a rancher in Nebraska or a real estate developer in New Jersey. Thus, you can get a whole lot of people pushing for small...

    OTC Colorado Archery Hunting Partner

    I've seen this a few times with advice on GE scouting, but is there anything specific to look for when identifying feeding areas other than it just being a meadow with the possibility for preferred food? Water and topographic features, I know what to look for there, but the feed situation is a...

    First fishing trip of 2017

    Hope to get out soon although with the warmth and rain coming, rivers and streams will go from low and cold to high and mud in short order.

    Fun Eastern Hunts

    It'd be a 10-12 hour drive to the Adirondacks where there is plenty of land to roam. If you're lucky you might even get to see a deer! The pluses for a non-res are that the season is long and the tag is cheap. $100 gets you an antlered buck and bear tag. There aren't a lot of of animals up...

    Spike vs. Branch Antlered Bull. Do you know the difference?

    I don't get it either. The text says that if it is not a true spike, it's an infraction. 77 years old and this is what he does for fun ...

    Boots

    Boots that fit. And then wear the heck out of them to get them broken in and gauge how well your feet feel. And that said, I saw somewhere (maybe even here) that as boots get stiffer and more technical, you may have to work harder for a perfect fit (e.g, try on lots of boots, spend time in...

    Why people east of the Mississippi should be worried about land transfer

    New York gets a bad rap for a lot of things, but I have about 3 million acres of public land protected by constitutional amendment.

    Weminuche bighorn sheep - Colorado

    The subsidies provided in dollars also don't take into account the well-below market grazing fees they pay to the USFS, correct? I think I read somewhere that the grazing fee is like a 1/5 of the market rate fee. Seems counterproductive to spend lots of money to save bighorns (which can...

    First Colorado Archery Hunt: Elk or Deer?

    I've been once, so don't take my advice as gospel. However, when I go again, I'm going deer only, especially if you're by yourself. The one downside is that there are no OTC deer tags in CO [EDITED TO ADD: You're a resident, so I'm probably wrong), so you have to commit and apply for one. I...

    Fin's weakness - Dogs

    If I had found that puppy in the wild, I'd have another dog to take care of. Good job on helping that poor little guy out. My britt mix is a 7-yo rescue. At the time I adopted him I was traveling a fair bit and couldn't justify spending the coin on a pure bred that I couldn't devote a lot...

    Winter kill?

    Yeah, a tough winter that gets nastier towards spring and prevents green growth just when animals need it most are killers.
