Holy cow, I didn't expect that big of a response.
I work on an mobile offshore drilling unit (MODU) for short. We have eight V-18 turbo-diesels that consume a LOT of fuel per hour when we are running at our "cruising speed" around 9 knots. The MODU i work on is a ship 767 feet long x 150 feet...
Paid just over $6 Million to fill up my boat before doing a transatlantic journey. Picked up just shy of a million gallons of Marine Diesel Gas for the trip.
We are running on fumes as we pull up on location in a few minutes. 21 days, 4650 miles, New Orleans, LA to Dakar, Senegal (West Africa...
Congratulations on the tag. Second rut is usually a week after the first rut date. You might hear bugling bulls based on the density if that is what you are asking. Welcome to HT. Search around the forum. There is a lot of information and knowledge to be gleemed by searching a specific topic...
Yes, for EVERY state and every species. No more "landowner tags" or "commissioner tags" or "giveaway tags". Equal chance for everyone. Let the Fish and Game Biologists set the quotas with no Commisioner intervention. Prosecute poachers with heaftier fines/loss of hunting privledges.
The percieved threat of the 90/10 split in tags and the large jumps in the point scheme over the past two years has gotten people (who are point riders) to get off the fence and actually go hunt. The way WY does ALL first choice draws could be changed to hold the current R/NR split until after...
I would be there one to two days before opener. Find the animals on public land. Bed them best you can the night before opener and be there at first light to fill your tags. I have hunted pronghorn in a low access unit in the past and the animals know where they will be safe (food, water...
Welcome to HT. Most of us would love to visit Austrailia and NZ for a hunt someday. I am sure you have some wonderful stories to share about years gone by.
So I guess having 4 points in the WY Elk draw system (2022) is a good place to be for two years from now? (Sarcasm)
We burned our 3 MT points this year, CO next year 2023 (6), and then WY (6) in 2024. By that point, we will be back to 3 points in 2025 for MT again and have a lot of antelope...
If it is an outfitted hunt, just tell them what you want. They will tie to a tree for you to stalk up on and shoot. Otherwise, if the opportunity comes, shoot the first legal bull that crosses your path. Waiting for the "big one" might end with y'all eating Tag Soup vice backstraps and tenderloins.
Being from out East it is imparative that my family has an idea of what we are getting ourselves into when going west for a hunting excursion. This would include good topography maps, boundaries, road access, and potential closures due to unforseen issues (fires, flooding, etc). For someone that...
Now that is a cool adventure... Thank you for closing the loop on this anomoly and taking the time to get some really great pictures of the area for everyone to see.
This is a very old post and not updated in a year. I would recommend starting a new post with your specific questions concerning your hunting plan. People will typically reach out to you via DM/PM to aid in you quest for a good hunt.
Glad to see the rain is continuing. I am with everyone else, a youth/vet/older gentleperson.
Whoever gets to visit the "Hank Ranch" will be happy just for the opportunity and gesture.
WOW this thread definitely got way off track. Hilarious. I served on the USS Boise for a few years just after they won the Fiesta Bowl. It was a moment of pride for the Submarine community. We had BSU mustangs and blue "carpet" all over the sub on everything. Heck, I think the head coach, mayor...
Very enlightening. I never thought about my parents as Boomers but it is true that they have done better than my generation who is doing better then my childrens generation.
