Sell Me A Dangerous Game Scope
I think you will be extremely happy with your choice. I got my VX6 2-12 on the RS classifieds for half the price of new. Makes it hard for me switch, but I may bite the bullet and get the same Z8i next year. A true one and done African scope. Do you already have a hunt booked with an... -
Sell Me A Dangerous Game Scope
I’ve done one Buffalo, one croc, and one elephant between two trips. I’m going back for another Buffalo in two months. Model 70 375 H&H. VX6 2–12 scope with talley QD mounts. Illuminated for sure! And go solid mounts unless you want to switch between a scope and a red dot. I switched out to a... -
End of Grizzly Delisting?
None of the above. Best description would be end user. The main ones that affect me both personally and professionally would be bald and golden Eagle act, migratory bird treaty act, wild bird conservation act. And of course, all of the regulations piled on underneath those acts by USFWS, USDA...- Chase0109

End of Grizzly Delisting?
That is my bad on the terminology I used. My response was thinking about starting over, not the end goal. Obviously, you are much more educated and well-versed overall on this topic than I am. Based on your research and what you said, I would agree with you that the end goal is total...- Chase0109

End of Grizzly Delisting?
I think we’ll have to agree to disagree on this one. I’m certainly no expert when it comes to regulatory and political processes. But because this is a EO, I believe it can be overturned by courts, or the next president. So I wouldn’t be surprised if this is it zero sum game with no actual...- Chase0109

End of Grizzly Delisting?
As Someone who deals with the bald and golden eagle act, the migratory bird treaty act, and the wild bird conservation act on a daily basis……….. I’m 100% on board! 👏 I know this is gonna bring some bad things along with the good. But I believe our current regulatory system is so broken that the...- Chase0109

Kansas Turkey Adventures
I was unsuccessful in the drawing. Which is what I was hoping for! I knew I wouldn’t have time to hunt Kansas this spring. But I wanted the preference point to make sure I could draw it next year when I do have time. Unfortunately Kansas will not allow you to just apply for a point. I hope...- Chase0109

Project 2025 and Conservation
I am firmly in the pessimistic/realistic camp on this topic of hunting and wildlife conservation/public lands. Hunting/wildlife conservation is the titanic, and we’ve already hit the iceberg. We’re sinking! Current wildlife conservation is just slowing down the bleeding. I appreciate and...- Chase0109

Good for you Botswana
I think you need to be more specific. What you are talking about is how it is done in South Africa. Game is privately owned and can be sold, and often is. In Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique, Tanzania, etc. the game is owned by the government who sets seasons and quotas. Not unlike our...- Chase0109

Good for you Botswana
Thank you! Mozambique was an adventure from beginning to end. I hunted late October, and the rain season should’ve started late November. We got hit with a huge rainstorm the morning we left Tete. It took us over 30 hours to get to camp (12 is normal). we slept in a local village the first...- Chase0109

Good for you Botswana
Thank you for the kind words. You may not have any interest in South Africa (I’ll never hunt SA). But if you do a little research on some of the more remote wild areas in Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Botswana, and Tanzania(if your rich lol), You might get the bug. Mozambique and Zimbabwe are both...- Chase0109

Good for you Botswana
I think desk pop did a great job of summarizing why the tuskless gene is not desirable in the population. Elephants need tusks for part of their feeding. Being tuskless is a genetic defect, and it requires them to steal food from elephants who have tusks. In a small normal percentage, like 3%...- Chase0109

Good for you Botswana
I appreciate everything you do for Wyoming wildlife. Sometimes I agree with your opinions and sometimes I don’t. But on this topic, you are outside of your wheelhouse. One really cannot comprehend what a hunt is like over there until they actually do it. Saying “hunting in Africa” is like to...- Chase0109

Dog tracking system
I think it boils down to functionality you want/need from your remote. I run two GWP‘s year round for hunting and work. I like Garmin systems. The TT 15 or TT 25 collars will both work great. You can get the TT 15 for about $100 less than the TT 25. For remote I really like the Garmin 550...- Chase0109
