Would appreciate any advice you all might have
It could be the result of a long Minnesota winter, but I have a real itch to hunt some big open country. For the last 3 years I have hunted pronghorn in Wyoming, and had a great time doing it.
This year I am thinking NW Nebraska for whitetail...
Attended a talk tonight by Steven Rinella at Viterbo University in Lacrosse Wisconsin tonight that focused on hunters ethics. It was framed by today being the anniversary of Aldo Leopold writing the forward to his Sand County Almanac.
The talk was exactly as I think most of us would expect from...
I always love to read as much as possible on an animal before I go hunt it. Same with its geography. Some great Pronghorn books i would check out are Antelope Country by Valerius Geist, American Serengeti by Dan Flores and a book called Prairie Ghosts. The author's name Escapes me but you'll...
It's the free market at work. They have the right to guide their business, you have the right not to shop there. Pretty simple. Being that Hunting equipment to include all gun sales only makes up 9% of their total buisness, I doubt they'll care if a couple percent of that leave. The other 97%...
I would expect this as well. Even podcasters are Limited in how you can present an argument and articulate a position while at the same time giving the other person a respectable amount of room as well.... whenever I've heard Rinella speak in person, read His work, listen to his podcast or...
Cheap but thick leather gloves and double-layered Carhartt pants is about my limit. I'm not going to be walking around the Great Plains dressed up like a guy who is about to install vinyl flooring. You're going to get stickers in you but from one Minnesota to another I can assure you that you'll...
Pretty much this. While I've been a hunter all my life, I only got into western hunting and hunting ALOT when I was in my early 30s. Boots and optics were the top priority, followed by a pack. It was only 2 years ago that I finally gave up on my Fleet Farm hunting clothing and became a trend...
I totally get the idea behind this and it might not even be a bad one. That said, after a few years in the military and a few years with the forest service, what worries me is the execution of it. Talk about a time and money suck
Wouldn't miss it. Last year was the first time I went and i had an absolute blast. Met some fellow hunttalkers as well as a lot of BHA folks from around the country. Convinced the wife to come along this year even. First time away from the kids in seven years
Schaff- I may have slept in for the...
This is the best bit of sensical dialogue I've read on this thread since the first post. Way to bring her back. That's what we need here right? Sensible dialogue? There can be good arguments made for gun control and equally good arguments made towards the threats against 2nd amendment rights...
You sound very much like the folks a whole bunch of us went overseas to fight for the last 15 years. Using religion as a guiding compass over the last 1000 years has worked really well for them.
In a lot of ways, you have been getting what you wanted for the last 30 years or so, which was about...
this really has my attention. Rinella doesn't strike me as a person who suffers BS lightly. I would expect him to be more than civil, but also ask some blunt, straight forward questions and expect the same in Bishops answer
