You need to get the qtrs (hinds first) off and hanging in the shade ASAP. Then get the tenderloins and back straps hanging. The brisket peals off rather easily. If you down the animal late in the afternoon you have more time to get the meat out. Get it deboned and on ice ASAP. First half of...
That is a good point to bring up. Depends on the person and the conditions I think. When it is hot they will need to wallow more often. Of course rutting bulls want to wallow anyway. Some of you guys have a lot more elk experience than I do. When the snow flys I have seen them on the feed...
Thanks...Lady Luck smiled upon me. It was one of the most sought after tags in New Mexico. I drew the same tag for this fall only in another high demand unit.
Scouting was the secret of my success, both e-scouting and boots on the ground. I live near the units I hunt so I can spend the time to...
With a tag like that, it would be one hell of a time to learn. Just sayin...
If it was a rifle tag you might git er done DIY with a week of scouting. With your inexperience as a bow hunter for elk, I would give the same odds of success that you had in drawing the tag.
I watched a guy bugger a...
OnX works well for me also. I just put the tablet on the console and navigate to the way points. I have come to appreciate the Earthmate app That I use with a In-reach mini. When I am hiking I mark my paths along the way. Makes a big difference when trying to find your hunting spot in the...
Your best bet as a non-res is to get in line with an outfitter. You should be able to get a great hunt for about 10K. Hit the references really hard before you plop any money down. Some of us locals who live in the area can give you some good referrals. But the best references are from the...
I have not bow hunted for deer since I sold my property in South Dakota 5 years ago. Finally I have a chance to go after mountain mule deeR. near home. These deer inhabit pine forests and oaks along the waterways. I have a chance for a velvet which would be my first....really stoked!
That’s an...
There is a gal who runs an outfit that will take you in on horseback. I don’t have her info handy but the price is right and she keeps the clients. Maybe someone could chime in here. Shucks..missed those posts....yup they are the ones.
1st rifle in a highly rated trophy bull unit (y)
1st choice deer also....have my eye on a couple of bucks in that unit :giggle::giggle:
no pronghorn....bummed
There is alot of cash and some "big outfits" backing these hackers. They target the most profitable and the most vulnerable business accounts. Then there is the issue of who builds the software systems. At one point many of the system design contracts were going to Mumbai. Then those Mumbai...
Facebook security has always been an issue. I never thought they would be around this long. I hate to say it but they might find that a lawsuit is cheaper than revamping their security and monitoring their content. FB and the other big hosts may find that dealing with thousand's of hacked...
My view is that internet businesses should be self regulating just like any other business. Sponsors aren't going to shell out cash for advertising unless that advertising increases sales. If the media business exists by getting sponsors then that business must be able to control the content or...
FB is a waste of time. None of my kids or grandkids use it. I consider social media in general to be a waste of my precious time. I think the forums can be useful but there are always a few that want to get attention or be abrasive. Political rants, comments about religion or racial slurs are...
