    Why coyotes need managed

    Several years ago I read a study conducted I believe on the Savana River military site attempting to determine the effect of coyotes and bobcats on deer populations. One takeaway concerning coyotes is that they check deer urine and can detect when a doe is close to giving birth (water...

    I need shotgun advice

    So many choices.........brings budget and hunting quarry & style into the discussion for narrowing the field. My 3 greatest passions for many years were waterfowl (decoyed), turkey and grouse. I shoot the same gun for waterfowl and turkey, albeit, with different barrels. I love Benelli's, I...

    Massive Nevada Solar Farm on BLM

    I did not. I have not found any studies that compare the total cost/footprint & effect on the environment of either of the green energy, gas fired or nuclear energy sources. And I'm skeptical of the amount of bias in articles/studies released by the industry and trade organizations. If anybody...

    Solar Energy Comments due April 18, 2024

    This whole discussion is founded on the politics of Green Energy (a fallacious argument). If the government proposes to site solar farms on public acreage we as citizens need to demand a proper feasibility/accounting/environmental study showing the advantages for KW production per a given...

    Tree Planting Tips

    I suggest (if you haven't already) you reach out to your local state forester and discuss your objectives. My experience over 30+ yrs of owning/managing a 300+ acre tree farm is that the insight a professional can provide, not to mention specialized resources will greatly improve your success...

    Has anyone hunted elk from a kayak

    It really depends on the body of water, depth, obstructions and water speed. I used a Sportspal canoe for years to hunt rivers and swamps for waterfowl, turkey a deer. The canoes have a foam sponson that runs down both sides of the canoe aiding in stability. The canoes are wider than average and...

    Renamed: crisis averted

    No need to feel any guilt using a crossbow; now, if your sluicing birds on the ground or out of of a tree with a shotgun or shooting turkeys with a rifle.....well, that's just bad form! ;)
