    New Zealand in May

    I brought the antlers from my stag back on the plane as checked baggage. Wrapped them in bubble wrap and sent them through the airline. It was super easy, with a little paperwork from the FWS and an extra stop at customs. I didn't bring a cape though and I don't think you can just bring it...

    My grandpa lost his arm on Iwo. They buried it on the island somewhere. He wouldn't even speak of what happened there!

    they're at it again in Wyoming -

    We are blessed with a "Freedom Caucus" in our Wyoming Legislature. They are collectively the dumbest group of people I have ever interacted with. I know some of them personally, some of them peripherally, but they all share one common quality: a lack of IQ. I am not a bit surprised to see...

    Another one bites the dust: dead transplanted wolf in Colorado

    Wolves have had such an impact on the part of western Wyoming that I live in, that you can only kill three elk a year now. Wolves are exactly what Buzz says they are: an excuse for hunters and a reason to complain. I won't be holding my breath for the eminent collapse of elk and deer hunting...

    If you could hunt region G or H in the Gros Ventre wilderness

    The greatest misconception about hunting in Wyoming is that there are somehow more and bigger bucks and bulls inside of designated wilderness. The only consistent difference is an increase in rocks and ice.

    RIP Dick Cheney

    He wasn't perfect, but he carried himself with dignity. He was a hunter and an angler, a student of history, and he understood the law. Unfortunately, the legacy of him and his daughter will be questioning the Orange Jeezus and separating themselves from his cult. The Republican Party I knew...
