Personally, I am for them being banned. And I used to use a couple of them.
But poaching is illegal, and one of my last two hunts I had SXS roll into my camp (mule deer) asking where the game was. 4 hunters in one SXS and brazen enough to tell me they didn't even have a tag. And when they...
Our CC got hit, I don't know for what yet since it still says pending. Either I got extremely lucky for another bull hunt, or much more likely it's my wifes meat tag.
While you didn't get the bull you wanted, it still sounds like a great time. And a lot of lessons learned, apparently... What zone was it, if you don't mind my asking., 6B?
Poor guy. Easy to say it was avoidable, but Monday morning quarterbacking is always easy. I've been guilty of breaking down an animal like that before myself. And who hasn't done a solo hunt? Sad situation, but ya, that would have been one hell of an uneasy night. Return to camp and leave...
It certainly struck us as very odd. I've seen controlled burns, but have very little knowledge of the proper implementation, etc. But right from the beginning every bit of it was really strange, which made us think arson.
As for the plate, the truck was too far away from us by the time we got...
That’s sort of what my buddy and I were afraid of It’s so dry it’s like a tinderbox in there now, and we thought it was either a disgruntled fired ranch hand, or some crazy guy, or just kids being pyros. But we didn’t think you would light so many large fires and then leave them unattended at...
Not entirely sure where to post this...
Went scouting unit 10 (big bo ranch, specifically) this weekend with a buddy of mine. It was the opening weekend, and near as we could tell we were close to the first ones there for scouting, or at least very near to the first. Drove to check out a couple...
When I was much younger I gave my father a “Jesus” moment. I was driving us back from an unsuccessful elk hunt, he was asleep in the passenger seat. It had been raining hard for hours, and we were doing 50 in a 75 with other vehicles flying by us. I was young, and my father got to wake up to me...
I use klymit. Bought it for Their .mil discount, and it’s really packable. Use it a ton and on my deployments and hunts. Love it. Ksb20 is the one I use, IIRC.
ETA pros and cons...
Cons:
sometimes too warm for my environment
Narrow
Initial cost
Sleep too well and have too much energy The...
flagstaff would be a hard pass for me. I love it, but it’s Way overcrowded. In winter They have a big issue with highways being packed with cars pulling over to see snow, we see it every year. It’s 2 hours from the 5th largest city in America, that only really has three major highways leading...
