    Yellowstone Wolves 25 Years Later

    “My feeling is there needs to be a balance and that needs to include managed hunting seasons.” It would appear WyoDoug, that would be only common sense to a normal individual. But, with the thinking of some biased wolf people, that common sense seems to evade their.........well, common sense ...

    Wilderness wolf adventure

    Thanks jcs for your fine narrative ! I enjoyed your story but was more impressed with your descriptive wording and your ability to make me feel a part of your hunt. My minds eye could envision all that you were experiencing, very well done !!

    Not sure why I have so much fun chasing these things!

    I think that is why Bob-wy, that so many of us release an arrow instead of firing a bullet ! It is the challenge of the game that makes it so darn interesting, and the success that makes it so rewarding. I could have over my many years of bowhunting killed several large whitetails with a...

    Shooting bow long range

    Your point Gfr8bawana, about the length of time it takes an arrow to arrive at the point of target, is what I meant to mean when I stated ‘time of arrival due to distance of game’ ! Only I did not make that very clear. You are very correct in the even slight movement of an animal in that...

    Shooting bow long range

    That is a interesting topic dgc1963, but also one that is difficult to enter into. Being a hunter who does so solely with a bow in hand, I am very concerned about the reputation of archery in the hunting world. There are still those who have a different concept of our sport than those of us...

    Uncompahgre Plateau poaching case ends with guilty pleas

    As I stated in another post, if the punishment does not impede the motivation to commit the crime, it is very unlikely crime in these matters will be lessened. A slap on the wrist will certainly not keep the chance of financial gain at bay. We all know that laws alone do not in some instances...

    making something from a goat cape?

    Cheese Curd has a very good idea, one I am surprised your taxidermist didn’t already mention. Being a retired taxidermist of 30 years, I know there are different suppliers of all kinds of capes, hides and parts of capes for sale. Moscow Hide & Fur would be a good source to look into, google...

    Misc Archery Questions

    1) In trad instinctive shooting, both eyes open. There is no aiming, look at target, eye and mind work automatically to put bow hand on target. Instinctive shooting is like throwing a ball to someone. 2) A dozen — hunting, 4 broad heads, 1 judo 3) Bow quiver, hard to keep broad-heads sharp in...

    First client deer from this season finished up

    As a taxidermist for 30 years, I feel qualified Redwood, to say, very nice mount job ! As you of course know, there are many things to look for in good taxidermy and you appear to have captured them all.

    First time slinging arrows!

    An excellent point WATERMAG ! We bow hunters need to be particularly careful in our approach to our sport. Game wounded by archery people seems to be perceived more critically by people than that received by rifle hunters. Archery is a very lethal way to take big game, but the room for error...

    Bow hunting

    “The even tougher thing is, how do you correct it ?” Hunting is no different than any other activity. It draws it’s participants from the general public, and we all know that that is made up of a general mix of people. Most good, but unfortunately also characters who just do not fit well into...

    Wood Arrows

    Thanks Southern Elk ! I should have thought of them beforehand ! But then, age puts holes in the thinking process.

    Prank call

    That might be a darn good point. They might use the ‘did you see any wolves’ question answered with a No” to mean wolf numbers are not a problem ! The less seen, the less of a problem. Maybe they should leave that question to people who are more directly concerned with wolves, such as...

    Wood Arrows

    Being a traditional shooter, I have also limited it to arrows. It has been some 10 years since I have needed to purchase, or replace my supply. And in that length of time, my old supplier has gone out of business. Can any of you trad fellas give me information as to a good supplier of tapered...

    What will accelerate the death of hunting faster?...

    In regards to post by BrdHntr, there are some credible comments contained therein. I think if we, as hunters, take a deep look into some of them, we could do ourselves a bit of helping our cause ! I am and have been a hunter since being brought up in a staunch hunting environment going back to...

    The purge

    Couldn’t agree more NDGuy! There is such a gulf between the two parties at this time, it is difficult to see how ‘bridges’ will be built to allow common sense to cross. If the sake of the country is not considered, the consequences could be devastating ! Let’s hope there are still sound minds...

    Antifa, Anarchists and the public lands.

    As a matter of fact Refuseresist, I did read the article. I thought the teacher sounded very sincere in her comments. But without more information as to exactly what, and how, it was said, I can not be totally convinced of her position. Often times, a conversation is not only what is said...

    Antifa, Anarchists and the public lands.

    Yeah, but conversation all depends on how progressive she is in her ‘teaching’, how biased and where the blame was laid ! One sided opinions are rather useless where truth is concerned. If conversation is left open to all views, only then is it worth the time and effort, not to mention being...

    Sharpen up your reading comprehension. Nothing was said about not believing a teacher.

    Antifa, Anarchists and the public lands.

    I would much prefer that what kids say, is heard at home, hopefully from informed adults and not from friends of their own age ! Even that is not a guarantee of correctness, but certainly a step up the ladder ! As a parent, I would hope that everyone who is involved with schools and...
