    Why do you hunt - Kids?

    My nephew recently posed a question to me of "Uncle Wyoelkfan15, why do you hunt?" I explained to him the food aspect and it's a good excuse to get out in nature. He's only 3 1/2, so topics like conservation, management dynamics, firearms safety, etc. are a little above his head at this point...

    Hunt Talk Podcast - Message to Voting Non-Hunters

    I listened to @Big Fin podcast with Gaspar Perricone on a drive for work yesterday. Interesting discussion all around. It did leave me with a specific question regarding wildlife management. Is there any resource that shows where percentages of funding for wildlife management come from...

    Offseason Banter

    Not sure how many on here listen to the Shawn Ryan Podcast, but he had a good guest on today. His guest this week is a CIA analyst that lays out the current state of terrorism and the United States funding of Afghanistan. If you dont have a full three hours to listen (who does anymore) the...

    HB0060 - Excess Wildlife Population Damage - Not sure on this one

    This bill passed it's second reading in the house yesterday. I'm not in support of providing landowners more subsidies without some sort of access to the elk causing the damage. Any other's thoughts would be welcome. I wrote my congressmen in opposition of the bill on Monday...

    Smith River Permit - Non-resident allocation

    Swing and a miss on the smith permit this year. Hopefully some of my MT resident friends drew. One of my friends in Missoula mentioned that the permits are now similar to hunting tag allocations, no more than 10% allowed to Non-residents. Hope others had better luck than we did.

    Dry sausage

    Does anyone run into an issue with their sausage mix feeling dry prior to stuffing into casings. I'm not sure if my fat to venison percentages are too high, I usually try and run a 75%-25% venison to fat mix. When I end up stuffing the sausage it comes out super dry in the frying pan. Any...

    Wyoming Bonus Points

    With the legislation in draft form for switching to a bonus points system for moose and sheep in Wyoming, does anyone know what happens to current preference points? Do they switch to bonus points or are they use it or lose it in the next four years?

    Porcupines

    On the bright side Ruger got me a limit on huns over the weekend. On the other hand he picked a fight with THREE different porcupines Saturday. Quick visit to the vet and a $250 bill later he's on the mend. Anyone have any tips on training a dog off of getting into these prickly suckers?

    Like many places in the Rocky Mountain West the County I live in in Wyoming has seen a major uptick in folks migrating to the West on their Rocky Mountain High. The County has initiated a rework of our planning and zoning plan. our current plan dates back to the mid 1990's. They have provided...

    Montana antelope

    Just curious, did Montana change the deadline for antelope this year to June 1st? I had checked in March and I thought the app deadline was the 15th?

    Tim's Act

    Dear Hunt Talk, I realize it is the middle of the season and folks don't want to be troubled by politics this time of year. A bill was put into Congress last week that could use support. H.R. 5631 - Tim Hart Wildlands Classification and Pay Parity Act. This spring my friend Tim, who jumped out...

    P-22 Walther Feeding Issue

    I own a P-22 Walther, and since I've had the pistol it's had an issue cycling another round into the chamber. Has anyone else experienced this with this pistol. Is there a solution to get the pistol to feed better?

    MT PP question

    When I checked my MT points this morning I got confused on the preference points I've accumulated. It shows the bonus points I have for each species, 2 BP elk, 1 BP deer, but the PP just shows 2 without any specific species. Are the preference points across all species?

    Winterkill - Rawlins area

    Anybody know of a larger than usual winterkill in the Rawlins area? I'm down here for the next couple months for work and have noticed at least a dozen or two of what appear like winter kill antelope.

    Wyoming Drawing Odds

    I was reviewing the drawing odds this year for antelope and couldn't make sense of the numbers. It's my understanding that non-residents are capped at 15% of the draw. But I don't see that reflected in the draw results. Take antelope unit 1 for example. The regs say a total quota of 250, the...

    Banff - Public Land Short

    We watched this short film last night from the Banff Film Festival. I thought her perspective on conservation and public lands is definitely a view point that is under represented. So many Americans are public land owners but never use them, have the opportunity to explore them or flat out...

    Cabela's Meat Grinder issue

    Has anyone ever had an issue with an electric meat grinder where bearing grease will contaminate your meat? I just got done grinding my antelope and noticed what looked like a bunch of bearing grease on the back end of the auger spindle. Is this food safe grease, did I just contaminate my...

    Joys of Hunting

    I was blessed on the upland opener today by having my dad and my best buddy join me. It's been probably over a decade since the last time I picked up a shotgun with my dad and my friend hasn't shot at a bird since he was a teenager. While we were trooping through the bluffs chasing partridge...
