    2023 College World Series

    Yes, I seriously question the call where the guy was pushed off base and then called out. Why couldn't an outfielder just "accidentally" trip and knock a runner off base and say they're out? That could become a valid technique. There was nothing the guy on third base could have done to avoid...

    Possession Limit Alaska

    In my opinion, we could end all sportfishing and the commercial fishery would still push to extreme harvest levels and we'd be in the same place. The fishing industry is powerful and they will take up all slack and then push to take the last fish. It's competition that causes trawlers to leave...

    Possession Limit Alaska

    Yep, I worked as a Fisheries Observer for NOAA on a trawler in the Bering Sea and so got a firsthand look at the fishing industry. It's ugly and many observers will not hold their ground when crews start tossing bycatch overboard, which is standard operating procedure since they get docked for...

    Gift Ideas?

    Bug assault shotgun. It shoots salt. Hunters can stalk and shoot bugs in the off-season. I think there are several companies that sell similar products. I'll paste one of them below. https://www.bugasalt.com/

    Dying with points?

    I built up enough points in California to finally draw the mule deer tag I wanted, I think it was six or seven points. Then my job moved me to east coast and now to NM and I suppose my California points still sit unused. I've got better hunts closer to home now and will probably never look back.

    Beyond Frustrated

    If I found a bunch of empty bud light cans then I'd assume it's a hangout for slobs leading alternate lifestyles.

    Beyond Frustrated

    I've seen similar BS at the past two ranges where I've been a member; in Maryland and NM. The range in MD went out to 100 yards for rifle and had two pistol ranges. It was set up with "no sky" barriers where a round could not leave without hitting structure. People would shoot the structures...

    New From Northern California

    Welcome from NM. I lived near Sacramento and hunted N California for quite a few years. The deer are pretty sparse, so I'd make sure to pack into an area where I'd enjoy the camping experience whether I saw deer or not.

    Unit 16C Logistics for 2023 elk hunt

    We scouted the unit this past Sat/Sunday and drove through the area that was burning. It was low intensity with FS folks letting the fire move through the system. FS has done an excellent job of utilizing fire in the unit. Most of the area looks like a park with beautiful open woods. We saw...

    PRIDE Month Celebtrations at Public Land Management Agencies

    Land managers can measure success in terms of things that can't really be measured. Goals of diversity/inclusion and climate resilience are very easy to claim success, or that your working hard. For land management, you no longer talk about acres and populations but just say "it benefits...

    Rifle primers still tough to get?

    I see lots of primers available on gunbroker. I've purchased lots of Federal and CCI large rifle primers through sellers on the site. https://www.gunbroker.com/Reloading-Primers/search I can't find Barnes, 120 grain TTSX.

    Unit 16C Logistics for 2023 elk hunt

    Thanks. I've hunted 21B in the past and so was familiar with Winston store. I was hoping there was a gas station/ice more centrally located but 45 minutes is a lot closer than I imagined Winston to be from the middle of 16C. But it's good to know up front that Winston is likely the closest...

    Favorite catfish bait

    chicken liver was our "go-to" growing up with a crew that was very serious about catfish. We tried other stuff but chicken liver seemed best overall. Some people would wrap the liver with womens nylons if you had problems casting gently enough to keep the liver on the hook. I liked chicken...
