Anybody else getting a case of the decades of unsuccessfulls?
I've put in for tags for 28 years in Idaho now and drawn 2... I've drawn more tags in a single other state as a non resident than my home.
Deer, elk, antelope, swan, turkey... 75% odds in some cases. Year after year. No dice.
Got mine in. I suggested in the few areas above objective if they start adding hunts to do lesser weapon hunts. Short range, muzzleloader, or in my area a traditional archery season before before increasing rifle tags. Rifle success odds are pretty high. Maybe it's just me but I'd rather see a...
When I'm hunting areas with softer dirt I'm mad when it's not buried.
When I'm hunting rocky areas where you're lucky if you can dig 1/4 inch of pine duff, I don't mind those little white warning flags so I don't step in it again. But at least throw a few rocks on it!
As a son of a woman with M.S. who is wheelchair bound due to nerve pain and numbness, as a friend of cancer patients who have a tolerance to narcotics, as a brother to a spine trauma victim who has been prescribed methadone and become addicted, as a husband who's wife has nerve damage, you no...
Probably a great time to buy if you can vacuum pack and freeze them after drying. Could you imagine a freezer full of prime western heavy coyote you payed $5 to $15 for.
Lower limb twist is usually from poor storage. Like setting it upright and leaning it against the wall or in a corner of a closet. Correction can be pretty easy or involved. Depends on what it's made of. Sometimes twisting it over corrected several times will do it. Then store it flat. Sometimes...
That's definitely on the list to do. I just want 2 or 3 of a few models before I go. So I actually have something to show and demo. I don't want to show up and say, "Well I build bows bit just trust me they are nice....". If I can hold onto a few demo bows I'll head that way.
Maybe I'll get to...
Thank you for the honest input. I'm glad you mentioned different designs because that's what I've put my effort into all winter. Glad you confirmed it's time well spent. So far most of my bows have been 3 piece recurves. That was my biggest request so that's what I went with. That particular...
Man, you're getting beat up here...
I get the premise of what you're going for. I really do. I watched an old guy finally draw moose after 36 years of applying. His average odds, 1 in 4 random. I don't think people realize 1 in 4 random DOESN’T mean at 4 years you'll probably draw, it means...
Why would they ever NEED a registration list?
It's the hot thing to post pics of you with all yours saying, "Govment ain't ever gonna know I got 4! Merika! #howwouldtheyknow #postyourstoo #photosarentproofright?"
Honestly I think it's being perceived as more desperate than the situation was. He was wet but definitely not in peril. In my mind it takes several things to get you killed. Cold weather, wet, not enough time, etc. He was layer up pretty good. Me being there in the situation, if he had insisted...
