Much to my great surprise when I told the wife I drew a tag - she said that is great! I surmised she wouldn't give me to much resistance about going to the banquet and we booked one of the rooms. Hopefully they have some female orientated raffle items or auction stuff to keep her interested...
Thanks - I should have became one a while back. I'm sure I will make it to the banquet with wife. I might even have a piece of art to donate back that we bought several years back.
So - to pay it forward a little, I just became a life member. I haven't told the wife yet that I drew the tag or became another life member to another great cause. The good news is that I can scout from my home and won't be gone for several weekends in a row.
The bad news is - She won't be...
I will be there and need to update my membership. I'm on membership overload and kick out a few every years and then renew and drop a couple of others. And I have started buying those raffle tickets, so my support is still strong across the board for fish and game management.
I suspect since you said Hayden they will have you on Cross Mtn. The rut hunt should be fantastic, they should give you the option to be choosey. It will be quite memorable if you get a raining/foggy morning with limited visibility and have 5-10 bulls screaming around you.
You will have a...
If you don't mind me asking - which ranch and which season. I suspect you will be just fine if you are on a RFW property. Feel free to private message if you want. Most of the private ranches and RFW's start to load up with animals once the public pressure and or weather starts going.
The migration typically gets going once the snow starts getting a foot or two in December. They normally do and will migrate, but this year we had unprecedented amounts of snow and cold in Dec/Jan. We were getting a major storms every 5-7 days, including several storms that lasted 3-5 days of...
Not sure where you are getting your info- Dead elk/deer/antelope everywhere along the roads from Rifle-Craig-Baggs-Maybell. These are the animals that actually made it to the roads. The real damage won't become visible until the snow melts. Basically every week from Thanksgiving until now...
Here is a dirty secret that the City of Denver pet shelter doesn't want everyone to know. I had so many wild cats at my business in Downtown Denver that I started trapping them and dropping them off at the pet shelter. One day I am looking at this funky colored cat that I swear I just trapped...
The wife said several years ago after a couple decades of marriage and right before I went off to Wyoming on an amazing bull tag (I think you are more excited right now than you were on our Honeymoon). I thought about it for a few seconds and wanted to make sure I wasn't about to step into a...
Outfitters and government employees are there own worst enemy and continually amaze me even though my expectations are so low! I feel Khunter's pain and frustration.
I have learned over the years to never go to the bathroom while the live auction is going and leave my wife and kids at the table.
She bought a RMEF Rodeo Vegas Trip one year that conflicted with a 3rd season buck tag I had used 12 points. Her and our son had a great trip without me. Then...
When I cook brisket it is usually a festive time and beer starts shortly after breakfast. The only advice I have is to wrap it at the end and make sure it has plenty of liquid to absorb to keep it juicy - Nectar juice/beef broth and a final coat of molasses concoction should help keep it moist...
I think I would have smiled and said thanks for the intel on a big buck. Chances are I would have found that buck later that day or harvested it if I liked it.
Carrie just replied to me and said they voted this am and there will be no changes to hunting!!!!!
