Good job Randy. Fish and Wildlife majors need that reality check. We don't hear enough (in classes at MSU) of how much politics have to do with wildlife management.
Some professors are trying, to an extent, to teach us about the political side, but it is not preparing people for reality.
Ha, I would like to have it at home but it would likely end up has a hat rack. Also, I will likely be moving around a fair bit in the next year, with seasonal jobs, so I'm avoiding the hassle of moving it around with me.
I recently got my 2010 bull back from the taxidermist.
It is not the original cape because I didn't have enough money to pay for a shoulder mount at the time... and because I am stupid and didn't save it.
But, I did keep the cape off of my 2011 bull and used it instead.
I took Greenhorn's...
Working with a graduate student, studying mountain ungulates. It was a dream job, the only hard part was being in the mountains in archery season, not carrying a bow.
We used the Nomad for work, I was impressed with the quality for the price, although my co-workers did manage to break 3 of them last summer, but they were quickly repaired for free.
While I do agree that binos will be used the majority of the time I think a spotting scope is a pretty vital tool to have. When you're looking for a animal, particularly a legal ram in the district you mentioned, you want to analyze every little nook and cranny. My job last summer was...
That is crazy... I lost a pack with two rods in it, mind if I get them back?:D
Ya, we had a pretty tough time with the two routes we took, straight up the creek and then down another creek from a neighboring lake.
A lot of it looked like this.
We also tasted a few, I think they tasted...
Like this patch of snow?
That place is pretty cool. Will have to go back someday.
I'm not sure if either of you would like to enlighten me with a better route in there, but ours consisted of deadfall or boulderfields the whole way.
Nice, we used to do quite well on the ling fishing as well on CC. I hate the derby though, we fished the entire length of the derby the last two years and didn't catch a single fish between 5 of us.
You fishing the cliffs, or elsewhere?
I usually carry a bow with an extra arrow (just in case I hit the bear bad the first shot) That combined with a little UDAP Bear repellant squirted on my boots and the back of my neck.
Also, always keep your food with you in your tent. You can't defend it from a bear if it's hanging in a tree.
