I am firmly in the pessimistic/realistic camp on this topic of hunting and wildlife conservation/public lands.
Hunting/wildlife conservation is the titanic, and we’ve already hit the iceberg. We’re sinking!
Current wildlife conservation is just slowing down the bleeding. I appreciate and...
I think you need to be more specific. What you are talking about is how it is done in South Africa. Game is privately owned and can be sold, and often is.
In Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique, Tanzania, etc. the game is owned by the government who sets seasons and quotas. Not unlike our...
Thank you!
Mozambique was an adventure from beginning to end. I hunted late October, and the rain season should’ve started late November. We got hit with a huge rainstorm the morning we left Tete. It took us over 30 hours to get to camp (12 is normal). we slept in a local village the first...
Thank you for the kind words.
You may not have any interest in South Africa (I’ll never hunt SA). But if you do a little research on some of the more remote wild areas in Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Botswana, and Tanzania(if your rich lol), You might get the bug. Mozambique and Zimbabwe are both...
I think desk pop did a great job of summarizing why the tuskless gene is not desirable in the population. Elephants need tusks for part of their feeding. Being tuskless is a genetic defect, and it requires them to steal food from elephants who have tusks. In a small normal percentage, like 3%...
I appreciate everything you do for Wyoming wildlife. Sometimes I agree with your opinions and sometimes I don’t. But on this topic, you are outside of your wheelhouse. One really cannot comprehend what a hunt is like over there until they actually do it.
Saying “hunting in Africa” is like to...
I think it boils down to functionality you want/need from your remote.
I run two GWP‘s year round for hunting and work. I like Garmin systems. The TT 15 or TT 25 collars will both work great. You can get the TT 15 for about $100 less than the TT 25.
For remote I really like the Garmin 550...
I don’t know that there is a best. But I’ve been using a pair of Dakota 283 kennels for the last 3 years. They will last my lifetime and beyond. Extremely well built. My dogs have logged over 40,000 miles cross country in them. Reasonable cost, worth the investment.
Chase
Hunted that unit in 2021. Pre scouted and killed a 5x5 herd bull with a group of cows. 1st rifle.
The one piece of advice I can give is regarding roads. It doesn’t matter if they’re open or closed for motorized access. If they can get a vehicle on it the locals will be driving it. Plan on any...
That is great news! I am happy to see Kansas is starting to address the turkey issue. I look forward to seeing what the permit caps will be for each unit. This could be the first step in creating a much better turkey hunting experience for both residents and non-residents. Thanks for keeping us...
If you’re looking for a GWP’s, I’d recommend taking a look at Bissel Grade Gundogs in Wisconsin. https://www.bisselgradekennels.com/
He’s a small breeder generally making one litter a year. With top-notch dogs and a incredible trainer himself. He puts a strong emphasis on researching each dog...
This is great news! I appreciate reading about your adventures, and your keeping us up to date on the latest news. I was actually planning to email KDWP with some suggestions after seeing the pressure this spring. I am happy to hear the fall season will be eliminated. I'd be fine with a 1 bird...
Looks like you’ve gotten some great responses for home recipe that works.
Not a home recipe, but a good option. I have three dogs that have all gotten sprayed multiple times. I use natures miracle skunk odor remover. I keep three full bottles at home just in case. And I always take one full...
