University mascots
Condolences on your Yellow Jacket status <grin>...Hardrocker family here too. Now, in our offices full of engineers around the west, we frequently compare mascots. SDSMT Hardrockers' Grubby the Miner and the NM State Aggies' Pistol Pete always waive around the fact that our mascots are still...- davinski

BBC Interesting Article
I would second the notion that SD is not particularly friendly to non-residents with anything except pheasant hunters with money. That's fine, I'm all for looking out for their own, and not in a NM 'landowner' sort of way. But, the urban/rural divide is striking SD just like everywhere else...- davinski

Colorado Advice Sought
The locals will likely shoot me, but the east side of the Unk has lots of good elk country. Most of the stuff near the roads and trailheads gets crowded. But I know of several elk hunters who do well in there with horses. I could say the same about a few other OTC or low-point units too. I... -
Fitness/training question
If you can find a Spartan race (their "Sprint" is the shortest one) near you in the summer or early fall, it's a good commitment to keep you training. I guess any time, really. I'm not familiar with the rest like tough mudder and a few others but they're likely similar. I was hesitant before my...- davinski

car rental
Try the Turo app. It's like uber or AirBnB for car rentals, people rent their own stuff. It sounded crazy to me but I know I couple guys who rent out their rigs and love it. You can correspond directly with the owner beforehand. I pulled it up just now and there are offerings in Laramie.- davinski

Colorado wolves
They're here and have been for years. That's the point (among many others) that needs waiving around far and wide in the face of this CO introduction nonsense. One was shot and killed near Kremmling a few years ago mistaken for a coyote. They don't read state line signs. As others have said... -

When to fire a contractor?
A good contract should have a performance bond and language for what to do. Pretty rare in residential stuff though, contractors see lots of thick paperwork and the price goes way up or they go away. I would start looking into prices from other similar contractors to do the same work and use...- davinski

Kids and the outdoors
I started taking all 3 of my kids out during diapers, but after that stage you can really spend more time outdoors and go out farther and longer. The key to it all is not to get them miserable. Take lots of snacks and snivel gear. Each kid is different, my boys are just short of 2 years apart...- davinski

Formal opposition to CO wolf reintroduction ramping up. Are you in?
They sure are adamant about introducing them "west of the divide." Might I suggest an alternative, wildlife-friendly and diverse habitat to start their forced introduction. Since natural migration doesn't seem to be fast enough for those idiots. https://bouldercolorado.gov/osmp/wildlife-overview- davinski

Colorado folks
Keep at it. Maybe try your hand at other units close enough for you to scout and/or with better odds as previously listed. I usually hunt OTC bull and pick up a leftover cow tag and hunt every year. Been skunked a few years but bring home a CO elk more often than not. I wouldn't burn many... -
Chest cold Remedies
Above all, as much rest and water as you can get. Neither is easy to do for most of us. Besides honey, tea, bourbon, and emergen-C, for whatever reason chaga mushroom powder really seems to kick my immune system up a notch whenever I feel something coming...- davinski

Proposed BLM land transfer to State of Colorado
Sidebar, does anyone know if CO state has a PILT (payment in lieu of taxes) system similar to the feds? I would assume the State exempted itself from county property taxes at some point in the past. A few of these counties ought to know their future PILT payments will decrease with this...- davinski

Proposed BLM land transfer to State of Colorado
The maps are buried a bit, but they're worth some perusal by those familiar with the areas/counties. Statewide map of dots: https://eplanning.blm.gov/epl-front-office/projects/nepa/1501863/20008993/250010560/Colorado_State_Indemnity_Selections.pdf County by county actual parcel maps...- davinski

Western state spring bear archery outfitter recommendations?
Any recommendations or experiences out there? I'm getting the itch for a spring bear since Colorado is fall only. WY, ID, AZ, even MT is a reasonable road trip from western CO. I'm not really interested in using dogs, but hunting over bait or spot-and-stalk would scratch my itch. In poking...- davinski
