Public Lands Bills in Congress
https://www.outdoorlife.com/conservation/congress-passes-explore-act/ I couldn't find a thread on this anywhere yet, but one of the bullets makes it look like it'll be easier for the FT crew to do their filming. I know they've done an absolute bang-up job following the rules, even to the point...- jakenbake

How to start
So I have some stupid questions (insert "there are no stupid questions, only stupid people"). How do you start figuring out where you're going to apply? I have 5 elk points in CO and there's a chance my family circumstances might let me actually go on my first elk hunt either this year or next...- jakenbake

Bullet Selection for .270
Trying to figure out bullet selection for my .270 Win. I know there are some limitations to the round as an elk cartridge, but I don't have access to a range over 300 yards so I wouldn't feel comfortable taking a shot much past that anyway. Assume the bullets are equally accurate out of the... -

Colorado Application Questions
So I got bit by the Western hunting bug after finding Randy and his platforms when my oldest kid was born and I was home on paternity leave, but between living on the East Coast and being the primary caregiver of two little kids going on 7-10 day hunts just isn't in the cards for a little while...- jakenbake

Probably not a full episode, but a question on travel
From the looks of things, Big Fin usually drives to all of his hunts, save for the Alaskan hunts. What do those trips look like - when you're covering 1000+ miles, are you breaking the trip up and stopping over somewhere or are you rotating drivers and trying to catch some sleep when it's your...- jakenbake

Muzzleloader Scope
So I just picked up a muzzleloader (CVA Optima V2) and was looking at scopes. The motley assortment of scopes I have currently "maxes out" in niceness with a Vortex Diamondback. I'm looking at a Bushnell Banner, which is obviously super economical, but was also looking at the Leupold VX-Freedom... -

Groups moving?
Let me start by saying I know pretty much nothing about bows, how to set them up, and how to tune them. I shoot a Bear Attitude I picked up from Bass Pro a couple years ago and shoot 30-40 arrows about once a week into hay bale and foam targets. My problem is that it seems like almost every... -

Reality Check Needed - WY
Hey All, I just found out that I'm going to be a groomsman in a wedding this year in Boulder, CO (I live in Maryland). I've never hunted out West and wasn't planning on a trip for at least a few years due to money/family hurdles that would need to be cleared. That said, now that I know that I'm... -

Flatlander
I forgot to do this (more like didn't read) when I signed up for the forum this past winter. I live in Maryland and arrived on these forums via Randy's TV shows and podcast. Randy posting those episodes on Youtube was a gift from above as I was staying home on paternity leave for most of January...
