It is funny how the attitude changes about trophy hunting if you have a full freezer.
Ten years ago I d shoot the first Muley buck I see every time. Now I am only looking for a 4x4 or better.
It is a better bill than the bill to ban Lion Hunting. Least there is a decent correlation between the tax and where it goes to. However Govt does not have a revenue problem they have a spending problem. They need to learn to say no to something first before they buy more.
I feel like if I ever go back to Alaska I am going to just drive up there. The plane logistics is just a major pain in the ass. Especially if it is for a moose hunt.

I am happy to hear a judge support this rule. I hope the elk eat them out of house and home and give all their cows and horses brucellosis until they allow public access. Nothing is more pathetic than hearing rich a-holes complain about a few elk eating their hay. When they could easily and...
Dave go to Walmart and get an extra large Swinn bike seat. Definitely worth the $30. I love mine, it changes a bike ride from being a torture device to a pleasant exercise.
Hey guys,
I am selling my XL rain gear that I bought and wore for one rainstorm in Alaska. I am 5’7” and this suit is just too big for me to functionally use. I am selling the top and bottom to this as a set for $40. I can take Venmo and have done a few sales with other members. Will only sell...
