    Weird Year...

    Well I'm getting fired up now....we are going back in the Middlefork for the 3rd straight year to the same place. I feel like I'm really getting more comfortable hunting back in there. Took 3 bulls & a bear out last year. In fact...just unpacked the gear last nite and laid every thing out so...

    BOW or Rifle ?!?!

    The thought crossed my mind to take the wife and let her nag my bull to death. But...I would'nt want the RSPCA after me for animal cruelty. Since I don't have a gerbal cannon....I guess I'll use the same Winchestester Featherweight that has been so sweet to me the last 2 years. Perhaps next year...

    Montana or Wyoming

    Bozeman is a great town. Is the Rocking R bar still going off? Skiing Bridger bowl isn't a bad way to pass some winter days either. Not far to hike up the river into the corner of yellowstone to bath in the Hot Pots. Remember a bunch of hot naked college girls there the last time we went. But...

The French General asked, "Why do you English Officers all wear red coats? Don't you know the red material...

    I know this is slightly off topic but still worth a read " Going to war without the French is like going deer hunting without your accordian" Norman Schwartzkopf " I just love the French, They taste like Chicken " Hannibal Lecter " I would rather have a German Division in front of me...

    Colorado Elk Harvest falls short again......

    Deerslayer.....you missed the point...and didn't even address the issue of indians on federal or indian lands either. Just because its the "way it has always been" doesn't mean its right. Its no more right than for us to charge tourists to come to the beach...because we have to clean it up...

    Colorado Elk Harvest falls short again......

    Deerslayer and Tom, Being on the low end of the totem pole still does not mean that the few others on that pole are right either. "4 other states that are higher".....4 out of 48 certainly do not make a majority nor are they anymore correct. Also...I'm well aware of the state vs Fed statutes...

    Colorado Elk Harvest falls short again......

    Back from a nice winter vacation in the islands and I see the thread has grown and taken on a life of its own. I was on my soap box early on on this topic but I don't agree with the DOW's decisions on rate increases...as I also don't agree with a lot of the other states rates and policies...

    Colorado Elk Harvest falls short again......

    Well....Colorado can bask in their extra tags as long as they want. I won't be back....no matter what they come up with. They doubled the price of their tags, tried to charge full price for cows...then lowered them. Came up with a rediculous season arrangment and didn't listen when we (I took 5...

    my hunt was a bust, burned by an outfitter.

    Sorry to hear that you have had such bad luck on this hunt. I use outfitters to pack me into an area for a drop camp...then it is on our own. Seeing 300 class bulls is more or less a rarity...because we hunt wilderness in open units. That being said...we have had great success over the last...

    Question about RMEF

    I have to confess.....since the topic was about the RMEF....and I'm a member, I did invite them to join the discussion. It is easy for some folks to get the wrong opinions and as with every "special interest" group there is dissent about views and policies. The RMEF seems to support "Mixed...

    Food for camping

    Now this is a useful topic and obviously very important as its hard to hunt eating leaves and tree bark. Since we pack in to the back country each year...I can give you some tips. However, many areas ban fires and this can make things tough. 1) Bread...Buy bagels. The new york kind. They pack...
