awesome tag. I was into mountaineering before I got into hunting. Combining the two with an alpine goat hunt has always been a dream of mine. Good luck!
I cannot wait for the day when you finally have that blue governor and state legislature you so desperately crave, only to wake up one morning and wonder where your guns went, why you can’t hunt bears, wolves, or lions anymore, and why there are zookeepers and vegans running your state game agency.
Would be nice indeed. But it would take *just* a bit more than a guy self-reporting a mistake 25 years ago, and forgetting to watch a PowerPoint, to make me vote for a Senior Advisor at Giffords.
Story reeks of just anti-hunting and anti-trapping sentiment. Sure, the dude was a moron for trying to cover it up instead of owning the mistake. I won’t argue that.
But come on, nobody is going to convince me that they actually care that a guy who has trapped for 50 years didn’t take a...
Checked out a new spot close to home yesterday. Encountered two bait stations in one drainage, and hounds in another. Bait guys said they had good activity and a few real good bears on their cameras. Hounds treed a big bear that day as well, we heard the whole thing happen from the next ridge...
The “good looking” spots I was glassing into were between 3200’ and 3400’. I did lots of glassing - the spots were just sort of a haul to get into. I’d heard the afternoon/evening is the best, so that’s when I did most of my looking.
I figured that they will move up the hillsides to follow the...
I appreciate the insight. I should have clarified - all of my glassing spots and the roads I was walking were about 1500-2000 ft higher than the really good looking elevation band that I was glassing down into. So I technically don’t know if there was sign down there. Just wasn’t any sign up in...
I would love your guys’ insight with this: I just spent 4 days glassing HARD in an area that is known to hold bears. Picked apart several drainages for hours. Put dozens of steep miles on my boots. All the hillsides I focused on looked about like this in terms of greenup and flowers, with plenty...
Squeezing in a late April trip here in Idaho. First baby is due early June, otherwise I’d be out in mid May. Found a lower elevation spot that should be just right. Thankful, for once, for a mild winter.
Of course I do, who wouldn’t? There are some things I think the government should be responsible for, and some things it shouldn’t be involved in.
Isn’t that an opinion held nearly universally?
