Dam Hard
You won't regret it. Either more money or being happy is always a good move. I live in a highly conservative area. The whole, "low wages are a good thing, don't like it find a different job!" Mentallity. So I did. Each time I got pulled in the office and offered more money. One in particular...- Firedude

Whole goose recipe?
Tried this yesterday. It turned out pretty good. I would do it again honestly. I tried slow roasting one as well. Brined overnight and roasted at 190 for 4.5 hours. Unbelievably good tasting. Still tough though. I think if I age it a little longer and then leave it for like 7 hours it will be...- Firedude

Statistics - So you’re tellin me there’s a chance!
I remember my math professor and stats teacher having this debate. 1/100 played 50 times were the numbers used. Odds of a specific ball coming up? Stats guy said 1 in 2. Math woman said 1 in 4. Her argument was you have to average in the 1 in 100 odds in the individual draw. No matter how many...- Firedude

Statistics - So you’re tellin me there’s a chance!
I know some hard-core lottery players. Best of the best! Studying numbers and stats constantly. They know every hot number and which day is best to buy. They're all broke. One of them brags about how good his odds are because he's put $650 a month in for 30 years. He says his odds are down to...- Firedude

who actually knows how to use a map and compass
I used mine just a week ago. Walking through the dense trees by the river to go duck hunting and the fog rolled in. It's not like you only need it in a life or death situation. I just glanced periodically to make sure I was headed the right direction when I couldn't see more than 20 feet...- Firedude

One day left to comment on the 2023 Idaho Big Three proposals.
I’m not advocating for .22 caliber weapons for big game but the minimum caliber requirement has been this way forever. This recent issue of wounded and lost animals seems to be more prevalent since long range craze infected the hunting community. Just my opinion. I probably just derailed the... -

One day left to comment on the 2023 Idaho Big Three proposals.
I was chatting with a Fish and Game guy the other day and he mentioned the same idea of tag notching. I suggested we start doing some caliber and bullet weight restrictions so stuff stops getting lost in the first place. I am tired of finding dead animals too. I've noticed more of it now that I... -

Whole goose recipe?
Anybody ever have good luck cooking a whole wild goose? When I was a kid my friends grandma cooked some he shot whole and it was delicious. Depression Era kids always knew how to do stuff like that. Sadly I have no clue how she did it. I know one came out of the crock pot and the other was oven...- Firedude

wolf calibers
As most have eluded to almost any regular hunting caliber will kill a wolf. I shot mine with a 300 R.U.M. 210 Berger. I shot it running up the other side of a draw. Bullet went in just in front of the pelvis and did not exit. She dropped in her tracks. No pelt damage besides a 30 caliber hole... -

Duck prep
Random question. Why do you age ungutted? Seams counterintuitive so there must be a good reason that I'm unaware of. I'm getting back into bird hunting and am learning as well. So far I've been breasting , legging, and fridge aging. Or plucking whole (gutted) and aging for 7-10 days. Very...- Firedude

Old powder cans
Not to totally high jack but it's on subject and I think his are spoken for. Are old powder cans worth anything? I have like 6 of these square cans kicking around. $2.65 was the sale price... wow. Got a few of these too- Firedude

Trophy Bluefin for Guided Hunt?
This happened to pop up while I was searching fishing in San diego. We're planning a trip in March. I think the hesitancy is in the exchange. That's it for me anyway. While I would love to go fishing like that, I cannot guarantee a good experience hunting. I can't speak for everyone else but...- Firedude

Commercial Use Permits - Time for States to Step Up?
I should have addressed that as well. I just don't disagree with you and didn't think to express it. I agree it's getting to money driven. I feel like there's a shift from being able to make money at something you love and film it to a you need to be full throttle and make mad money from...- Firedude

Commercial Use Permits - Time for States to Step Up?
A few issues I see budding on the horizon. Social media has changed the circumstances from "For profit T.V." to all kinds of scenarios. @Big Fin would be the one to ask and weigh in on this thread. His advise should weigh pretty heavy. He's in the business AND does it correctly by buying...- Firedude

Stolen Opportunities....a very sad elk tale. We must do better!
The last deer I arrowed and didn't recover swam halfway accross the snake river and then went under. I watched it's head dissapear. Tell me how I was to get that one. Even Fish and game said, "Keep hunting." The pheasant I dropped and didn't recover the other day was in the mouth golden... -

Stolen Opportunities....a very sad elk tale. We must do better!
I think a lot of people have forgot civics class. It's FRIGHTENING honestly. Your toddler grabs a candy bar and you realize it in the car vs you putting one in your pocket. There's a difference. You get home and realize something from Home Depot isn't on your receipt vs lying about how much... -

You're putting A LOT of faith in a system you can't watch work. If there is this many errors and problems on something you can witness can you imagine what happens when they compile and "Randomly" draw from hundreds of thousands of applications? I partially agree though. I forsee all...- Firedude

Stolen Opportunities....a very sad elk tale. We must do better!
I've been thinking about this idea for a few days. Probably best I'd most people did since we're suggesting making something law. Just a couple ideas to throw out there. One being I think you're idea, while well intentioned, might have the opposite affect in this particular situation. When I...
