Dick Miller/Escalante Ranch had a very large grazing permit with a long season of use creating a pretty substantial western public lands ranching operation on both the BLM and USFS (with a little CPW thrown in), with this ranch as base property to qualify for the permits. This was the real...
I love how everyone talks about retiring someplace where they can western big game hunt. If you're talking a lot of elk hunting, you needed to do that in your 20's, 30's and 40's. I know, you'll still be running marathons into your 70's (yeah, right). I've lived in Nevada, Colorado and Wyoming...
Mule deer, Mountain City Nevada, my dad's model 721 Remington 30/06 with open sights. I was 14 years old. Everything since with scoped rifles, until about 25 years ago, when I started mixing things up with a Knight 54 cal muzzleloader. I now exclusively hunt with a muzzleloader and open sights...

Those Hush boys really know how to put the tard in Tardville. Watched the bearded one screw up a long shot (it appeared that someone who actually knew how to stalk could have closed the distance considerably) on a buck late season in Colorado and wounded and lost him. I believe he may have shot...
You guys have no idea. Are you talking about base camp locations? Deer/elk/both? Priority use days with base camps? Spike camps associated with base camps? Those can vary year to year. Drop camps? Those can vary from week to week. Sheep? We would permit service days for the entire GMU...
Any talk of limiting nonresident fishing licenses? I see a much bigger issue there, as far as crowding, than nonresident upland game hunting. I'm surprised residents aren't more concerned by that.
Man, I am late to this conversation. I retired after close to 40 years with the EwwEssEffEess! Loved it and hated it at the same time. Administered OG Permits, Range , Fire Management Officer, Hydrology, Recreation, etc. Folks just don't understand how funding works. Totally micromanaged by...
