    Free hunting social media is not free

    What are you gonna do about the Colorado wildlife commission? Or you gonna be too busy filling all the tags you can suddenly draw when all the boomers die to fool with it? It's simple math. The USFWS adds up all the hunting licenses bought in all the states. The number is getting smaller. Maybe...

    School funding

    Man, it's August. If you can't get face to face with your reps now, I question how badly you want to. They at home, doing every county fair bs event with a big enough flag in the background they can while the recess is kicking.

    26 year wait - Utah elk hunt

    Was the Honda 300 the best wheeler mankind thought to design, or is it just my own nostalgia for my late teens and early 20's? Can't wait to see how this thread goes...

    Uh oh

    First, a sample size of a couple thousand is plenty big. I was a history major, but c'mon, surely we've all had to sit through some kind of probabilities and statistics class? Second, chickens in cities means rats. Folks may not know they don't like chickens until they live next to em, but they...

    Biden Announces Lead Ammo/Lure Ban Across Eight National Wildlife Refuges by 2026

    Ain't nobody even made a monometal/penetration joke about the copper weiner. We used to be a proper country.

    Matt Rinella gives a talk at Pope and Young

    I remain unconvinced that both M Rinella and the worst of the Insta hunters aren't really chasing the same thing: the right to shoot the last one. Last elk in a drainage, last buck in the rut, last pronghorn on public. They may differ on who they let watch, but the entitlement to chase that last...

    Non-hunting vacation- Washington, DC

    I lived in DC till 2017 when the wife and I moved to the 'burbs. Still in town for work most weeks till Covid and virtual became the thing. I say that to say I may not be as current as I once was, but happy to tell what I know via PM. There's more in this thread than you can dream of doing, so...

    American prairie. What's the issue?

    I'm in complete agreement on the value of easements. But I've been working on em my whole life and ain't looking to move to Montana. Guess my only point was that folks don't seem to be moving there to live how I live or folks in cities in general live and a less bought-in individual that thinks...

    American prairie. What's the issue?

    Is he wrong though? Any of you Montanans want to swap with me and come live in my townhouse outside of DC? Or even one in Bozeman?

    goHUNT Mobile Maps comments sought in this thread

    Based on some of the other feedback in this thread, I deleted and reinstalled the app. So that's the build I'm showing, but I haven't been out to test the tracking feature since I did it. Not sure if it was updated to that build yet when I was having the problems. Hopefully will get a hike in...

    goHUNT Mobile Maps comments sought in this thread

    Has anyone else had issues with the tracking feature working, but being wildly inaccurate? Mine is showing me going places I never went when I have the tracker turned on and the track doesn't save as the route I actually took, but consists of lots of straight lines with corners cut, etc. Could...

    Heavy arrow tuning struggles

    It's probably something about the way you shoot that bow that makes the heavier arrow wonky. You can try and change the way you shoot, but seems like it's worked until now. Buying a new bow seems impractical. Leaves the arrow. Could try and nock tune the arrows you have (apologies if you already...

    Elk Diaphragm Call Longevity

    Happily married. They key (one of em) is having the utility room in the basement with the chest freezer, shelves of hunting crap, deer stands piled in the corner, and...the extra fridge for keeping beer, backup Costco milks and lemonades, aging venison so it doesn't have hang off the deck of a...

    Randy Newberg on Matt Rinella's Podcast

    If somebody wants to save the last elk, or even the second or third to last, so they can shoot it, I'm not here to argue with that motive. But be honest about it. I think there's room to debate the role of content-creators as it relates to hunting. But, I don't think anybody making a good faith...

    Elk Diaphragm Call Longevity

    Fridge, not freezer. I'm practicing for this fall's hunt on a reed I hunted with in 2019. Never mouthwashed it or anything, just kept it off the dashboard and put it in the fridge when I got home. I've got turkey calls in there that called up birds in 2014/15.

    Why Does Deer Meat Taste Gamey

    I've attended the death of a fair representation of east coast whitetails, from suburban fawns to November Appalachian bucks, and they pretty much all tasted like deer. My only mule deer kill came last November and that buck tasted like...deer. I'm not an expert on elk, but every one I've eaten...

    Recovering America's Wildlife Act passes House

    Big step, but lots of fight left. If you have a minute, contact your Senators and let them know you support this bill. Important for Senate leadership to understand there's support for this so they'll continue to engage House leadership on finding an offset that will get this the level of...

    First ever elk hunt, CO-Unit 67

    I don't know what you mean with that, but I've been to the La Garita and the bottom is somewhere around 11,000. I'm not a fitness guru and think a lot of the kEeP HaMmErInG convo around what's needed to kill an elk is overblown, but late October at 12,000 feet on a first elk hunt is one that...
