    Solo Mustang & Muzzle Loader Bull Elk Hunt?????

    From my little house on the prairie, I see the mountains of two different big game units. One’s elk tags always sells out. The other is closer, but close to a vertical wall of rocks and slick grass, rises to 10,000 in elevation. This zone is big and all public wilderness. It is so tough...

    I think I hate ATVs.

    Would you please fully explain your above statement. What am I missing about WW2 vets turning the Mauser rifles they brought back form the war into fine custom sporting rifles. Sounds like something pretty cool.

    When Elvis Presley died in 1977, I had a subscription to “Rolling Stone” magazine. They dedicated that entire issue to Elvis. In it they wrote something I never forgot! “All products of America go crazy. The purer the products of America are, the crazier they will become. Elvis was the purest...

    I think I hate ATVs.

    I think about how lucky I was to grow up with these men not just as my hunting mentors but also as my schoolteachers, college professors, and the journeymen and master tradesman that I served my carpentry apprenticeship under. They were not "perfect men" but they were excellent. They operated...

    I think I hate ATVs.

    My hunting/field ethics were forever formed by my first hunting mentors. At 15 years of age, I was taken to my hunter's safety course by a WW2 combat vet named Zigmond, who was in his early 40's then. The old Fish and Game Club building was filled with WW2 vets who had grown up with the new...

    I think I hate ATVs.

    I agree with you 110 %! If they can get there, there will be there. It's like drinking and driving and accidents. The people who break the law are the problem,,,,,,and there are just so many of them, too many of them and they do so much damage. I really do not think our hunting culture as it...

    I think I hate ATVs.

    I used to live in Wyoming, both in the SE corner and then the NW corner. The Medicine Bow Range is stunning country. Just drop dead gorgeous, but it got so filled with OHV's I moved to the NW area. The fracking was hot and heavy then. Lots of roughnecks with too much money working a week or...

    If you Google "Desert Talc" the only reference, you will find will be about some cosmetic from desert flowers. if you study desert ecology the term will come up in regard to a stable dust layer that causes water to "roll off" the surface thus protecting it from erosion. Naturally creating this...

    I think I hate ATVs.

    Mechanized recreation and mechanized hunting have both dramatically shrunk the amount of quality habit available to wildlife. Even if the actual plant forage is available the "Ecology of Fear" still kicks in from this invasion and browsing patterns are reduced, there is stress placed in calving...

    I think I hate ATVs.

    Four things happened in the 1980's which have forever damaged the public image of hunters. In 1988 Honda produced the TRX 300 quad 4x4. There would be 530,000 of them sold and the quad explosion was underway In the mid 1980's the tidal wave of cheap AK-47"s began being imported into America...

    To protect eagles, hunters and conservationists rebuild old alliances (non-lead ammo)

    Went out to my mail box last summer and saw a 2-3 year old Rocky Mountain Bighorn Ram trotting down the road. Sold an expensive rifle and bought an expensive spotting scope. All summer I watch mountain goats while having breakfast, elk too. I keep my horses out of part of my tall prairie...

    Once a hunter opens his eye, and does the math,,,counts how may tens of millions of big game animals are killed in North America every year,,,all those millions of gut piles left behind loaded with hundreds of tiny easily digestible pieces of lead and how many critters, scavenge on that and some...

    Very cool handgun. Thank you for showing it to all if us. My Hunting partner of over 30 years has one. He and I ended up moving far apart when we retired. I saw one come up online the very first day for $999. I got it right away. Components being so hard to get especially for 41 mag my old...

    This big game season is my 56th or 57th I lost count. At soon to be 75, I am a lifelong hunter. But,,,first and foremost I am a field biologist. I will only hunt in ways that are "good Biology". Lead bullets are bad biology. I would not hunt with anyone using them. That is where i draw the line...

    The mood of hunters and gun owners is pretty sour in Oregon right now after passing 114 Same goes for the take over by non-hunters of Washington state hunting commission. Reading posts #65 to 72 here, these guys are shooting themselves and other hunters in the foot when it comes to public...

    i am not at all sure what and where you are referring to in your first sentence regarding fragments. Please give me a source. Also referring to anything as "piss poor" totally undermines your integrity. It is adolescent but to your credit you are steps above the dark comments made about eagles...

    I think your response is just amazing. It is a collection of every form of denial on this issue. It could be, should be used as a textbook example of a cocktail of confusing "what aboutism" ideas created to avoid looking at this very simple issue of the continued effects spreading the world's...
