It truly is interesting to see and appreciate the differing perspectives based on where and how people were brought up. Cuz I would honestly say the exact same thing about those who spend their spring looking for bears or, even more bewildering, sheds. Whereas I hunt elk, deer, pronghorn etc and...
See that's very interesting I did not know about his other incident in Utah. You raise a good point about innocent people not pleading guilty, though I have personally seen it happen. The sad reality is most average people cannot afford to actually defend themselves with good attorneys. DAs know...
That's been my biggest question with the whole thing, he claims he "forgot his cell phone" which I guess is possible but seems unlikely, so I wonder if there is location data that blows up his story.
Yeah if the charges are in fact true then absolutely throw the book at him. That kind of thing has far reaching effects on the rest of us as hunters. The reason I am remaining objective until we know more is because there have been plenty of times with alleged poaching cases that "things aren't...
@Big Fin I haven't yet had a chance to listen to the episode, as advocates for public land hunting access, so we like this rule or not. Asking objectively
CJ Alexander has been Indicted on 23 charges in relation to the potential record buck he killed in OH last fall. For those unfamiliar he has been under investigation for some time and has vehemently denied the allegations. Once the court proceedings begin it will be very interesting to see how...
Which is why more animals on the mountain is the best way forward. I would love to hunt elk for example at home, and at one time they were here. As soon as we can repopulate them in NY I'll be happy to stay right here. And maybe one day we can make it happen. But in the meantime, can't hunt a...
Super late to this thread. BUT I will say if Idaho is trying to discourage NR from coming, they've succeeded with me, due to the current system I've never even considered going for an ID tag (you're welcome residents) 😂
Awesome that you're able to get back in the field. For me I'll be visiting the cowboy state in October for region Y general deer. I've never been to the area and it will be a solo trip but I have the points to draw and the vacation time so I figure I'll go and see if I can turn up a deer.
I will admit that when it comes to 2nd amendment issues and fighting the corrupt bureaucracy swamp creatures in DC I'm impressed with Gaetz and his compadres, but you're right that this anti public land thing is ridiculous.
Ultimately this R v NR debate will be completely irrelevant if we can find a way to drastically grow herd sizes. I for one will gladly support anything that will help make this happen. And that's one criticism of management practices here in the east. The status quo has kind of become "shoot...
