I recently came across the Paria Thermodown 0° sleeping bag online, and it seems like a pretty solid value, and well as being on the lighter side and packs down nicely for backpack hunting. Does anyone have experience with this bag, or a similar model from Paria? Basically I want to make sure...
Yeah kind of what I was thinking. In theory, with less people applying and less investment into game and fish departments, it’s very possible that the long term affect is less animals on the mountains as there’d be less $$ for conservation efforts
Honestly a bit odd to me that a PE firm saw value in GoHunt as an investment at this point in time. I’ve never had GoHunt and when I applied in Utah this year I simply uploaded the past 3 years of draw data in the free version of Claude and it gave me all the odds/info/trends I needed, and even...

If all western states went to straight lottery draw systems and did away with points entirely, do we think there would be more, less, or the same level of hunter participation?
The reason I’m asking is because hunters...
Agreed here, surely the top 5-10% of point holders are (and maybe should be) pissed. Colorado had to do something about point creep so I don’t hate the idea of going to the Utah-style system. Only thing is these next couple years before the change will be a total crapshoot with so many high...
I was super lucky in the lottery portion of the draw and snagged a non-resident mid-season Manti tag that I’m pumped for (my first ever LE tag). In an ideal year I’d love to take a trip out there to do some scouting, but with a 3-month old at home a scouting trip likely isn’t in the cards...
I just drew a mid-season rifle elk tag in Utah, and as a Michigan resident who’s only hunted elk out west one other time, I absolutely agree with this. Any legal bull on the ground would certainly be a trophy for me!
