    What are you currently reading?

    Just starting The Bass Reeves Trilogy by Sidney Thomas. I watched the one episode on Paramount, thought it was interesting and found this book series.

    Not on Your Bucket List

    Bear of any kind top my list. I've no issues with anyone taking a bear legally. Self defense in a bear encounter would be the exception to me shooting at one.

    Indiana Bobcat Season Law Signed.

    A friend released a young one from a foothold trap set for fox in Union Co. this past fall. He said the little guy wasn't very grateful about the whole experience🤣

    Ethics of removing tree stands from public land

    I live in Michigan and had this conversation with the local conservation officer a few years ago. He wouldn't authorize removal, and didn't have the time to come out. I was advised that if I did take down a stand after season and it had no name/address & a warden happened upon me, I'd likely be...

    Specks, you call em crappie

    I had to Google coon tail perch. Never heard yellow perch called that🤣 I have heard the term "convicts" and "bandits" used for yellow perch, eludung to their stripped appearance. Taste is subjective but there's no way perch are better than crappie😉

    Specks, you call em crappie

    Growing up in Michigan everyone called them specks. It wasn't until the Army started sending me to various states that I learned everyone else used the proper term "crappie". My favorite meal😋

    Young Bird Dog (hopefully)

    Yes, a dog can be a good bird dog under those circumstances. They know when it's time to play and when it's time to work. This fall would not be too early provided you've laid the proper foundation: basic commands, introduction to gunfire, introduction to game and that you accept that the dog...

    Can a dog be trained to smell?

    Use the toy the dog loves the most as the reward for accomplishing the task. Start by making the task so easy you kind of feel dumb doing it. Show the dog what the goal is and guide it to success, then give it the reward toy for a short play session. Increase the difficulty of the task very...

    Colorado gun ban

    I have USCCA so hopefully that will cover it. If not then Colorado will be off my list which sucks but if checked for license by a CO and they asked for insurance, not good if a person didn't have any. Colorado is working on a great way to cut non-resident tourism dollars.

    Colorado gun ban

    I certainly hope that doesn't become a requirement for anyone, and especially for non-resident hunters or even people passing through the state.

    Colorado gun ban

    Would liability insurance be required of non-residents bringing firearms into CO for the purpose of hunting? Honest question.

    Who would you trust to shoot a buffalo out from under you?

    I have one friend that I'd trust with my life in that situation or any that I can think of. I also have a friend that I'm 100% certain would have ran if he'd have been the guy with the guy. Probably why he's my FISHING friend🤣
