    Senator Gardner Telephone Town Hall

    It's worth pointing out that Senator Gardner dropped the ball on the BLM Planning 2.0 vote, before getting too effusive. It's been repeated often, but denying the land management agencies the wherewithal to properly manage public lands is a big piece of the equation that ends with reduced...

    Utah's public land stance vs Outdoor Retailer Show

    If the guy handling your IRA did something dumb and your retirement took a hit to the tune of 4%, you wouldn't have any repercussions lined up for that guy?

    Core4 vs. Icebreaker vs. First Lite

    The Core4 merino I've had has been pretty much garbage. My FL merino has been pretty good, but I've got a pair of Kanab 2.0s that have started fraying in the crotch. I've had em about a year and they've seen some tough hunting between spring turkey, my CO elk hunt, and fall bowhunting here. I'm...

    Brining out New Hunters for Turkey

    In my experience, most newbies to hunting aren't going to really believe how quiet they have to be, how still they have to sit, etc. to kill what to them is just a big ol' bird. Blinds on fields may alleviate a lot of that, but if I wanted to bobber watch, I'd go catch bluegills. My $.02...

    What is your favorite wild game meat?

    Surprised to only see one reference to Aythya valisineria. I like most of what I've had, but haven't tried near as much as you non-East Coasters and my order changes based on mood, but currently: -canvasback -elk -mallard/teal/wood duck/specklebelly -whitetail -pronghorn -turkey -caribou...

    The Antiquities Act of 1906

    So in order to protect it, we should not protect it in order to avoid making them angry so that they don't undo the protections we didn't put in place? Mighty fine straw man you've built there. Granted, I've assumed that protecting public lands is a shared starting point...

    Down in the dumps.

    I pulled a piece of an arrow shaft out from between the backstrap and backbone of a buck I was breaking down for my dad last weekend. Dad said he didn't limp or show any sign of an injury, 'cept maybe his goofy little rack. But he was likely just a goofy little-racked buck. If high shots miss...

    Does the NRA stand for hunters?

    Good grief I'da hated being some of y'all's Comp teachers. It's right there in the original post. "The NRA is the premier organization for hunters in the world." Other than grandiose claims in magazine ads, what has the NRA done for hunters?

    Does the NRA stand for hunters?

    If you've managed to knock down an elephant or a polar bear and need a little help getting ivory or a fluffy white hide back into the country, ESA be damned, then yeah, the NRA is solidly hunter-friendly. If you'd like to see the remote drainage you busted your hump to find, scout, hunt, and...

    Moving forward on public land

    From today's "Greenwire:" "Interior A broad range of Westerners and public lands insiders are rumored to be in the running to lead the Interior Department. Former George W. Bush administration Interior official David Bernhardt is leading Trump's Interior transition team. Idaho Republican...

    Trumps murky stance on public land

    Try again. Hint: When arguing about the Constitution, helps to have read it; see also: Ammon Bundy.

    Trump JR woos Sportsmen, covets Interior Secretary job

    As has been pointed out, Trump Jr. isn't gonna be Secretary. But let's not bury the lede... "They have made the calculation that the hook-and-bullet crowd is the relevant demographic here, but the reality is the professional hook-and-bullet crowd is a small group compared to [those who care]...

    RMEF stance on fed land transfer

    There have been sportsmen (c)4s. But they're hard to fund because lots of foundations won't let their dollars go towards independent expenditures and individual folks don't want to hear that conservatives are anti-hunting. And if you say that a liberal is anti-hunting, the reaction is just kinda...

    NRA response to me on transfer and sale issue

    Please explain the relationship between elephant ivory and the 2nd Amendment. Try and use small words so that those of us that don't get it will be able to understand.

    NRA response to me on transfer and sale issue

    "The number one threat to hunting today is that rich people can't go to another country, shoot an animal that may or may not be endangered, and bring it back here to proudly display in their dens next to that 380 bull elk that got stuck in the corner of the fence." Remember the good ol' days...

    Black Eagle arrows?

    Pulled the trigger on a dozen of the Carnivores and am having 50 gr. brass inserts installed. At 7.5 gpi and 29", mine will still come in under 400 gr. and will be fine for 90 percent of my hunting, but I'll be back on the mountain for elk after taking a western hiatus this fall. Guess that'll...

    Black Eagle arrows?

    Anybody shooting the Black Eagle Carnivores? How do they compare to the Carbon Express Maxima Hunters? They're a fair amount cheaper, but Carbon X has to pay for every other commercial on the Outdoor Channel, so I wonder how much of those costs are to cover marketing.
