Tics not Tik Toc
This is not accurate. 1st instar (larval) ticks do not have nor transmit Lyme disease. They must feed on an infected animal, typically a mouse, 1st. Those “dust” like, patches of newly hatched almost invisible ticks are thus very annoying (can get everywhere, even between fingers and toes) but...- Bullshot

Neck shots.
I have dispatched some animals with a neck shot after an initial shot but for some reason, I’ve never taken one up front and to be honest it never even occurs to me in the moment. Surely I’ve missed opportunities by waiting for broadside. I might need to drum into my head that the shot IS an... -

Health of BLM lands
As an out of towner, I am no expert, but still feel from my experiences that its pretty much the norm when seeing a beautifully managed parcel of land to guess correctly that its private ranch, vs seeing a patch of overgrazed wasteland and guessing correctly it is BLM.- Bullshot

2024 Utah Draw Results
I am a little baffled by how little I am bothered by another across the board unsucc and amused by any NR upset by it, when so few tags are issued and we all know, or should, going in. Utah just remains a someday, OIL kind of state for me and most others. Good luck to those in the WY elk draw (i...- Bullshot

Last day to change or withdraw app
I helped the odds and withdrew. Quota was cut in my preferred zone so only random was possible. Figured I’d keep accumulating points instead, which allowed me to put in for Utah, since I don’t want to risk drawing both in same year. -

throwing good app money after bad and repeat
Went to the river again locally and saw, cast to, and then hooked (and lost) a large muskie on 8lb test from shore. My heart raced more from this brief encounter than I’ve experienced on many of my western hunts and without the 30 hour drive and thousands spent…. Motivated by this, I went to a...- Bullshot

throwing good app money after bad and repeat
I have been getting much more back into fishing, local archery, and local muzzleloader than in the recent past. I think its like anything, you “sense” the need for change before you “decide” to change. Then, the change feels natural. Spending thousands of dollars on app fees in multiple states...- Bullshot
