Fish Measuring 10’7” Fork Length Caught and Gently Released.
While I often release fish that I catch. I find fishing for fish where keeping them is not an option pointless. That said, it's a beautiful fish and congrats to the angler.- Goatshoes

Resource for local guide?
I drew a WY unit 25/27 tag for elk and plan to hunt it mid to late Sept. Never have I used a guide before, but this is some pretty big country and I've never set foot in it. Can anyone recommend a guide for the area or a resource to find one? -
Generosity to non-residents
While your all grousing about it. Might want to consider that the State of CA has no restriction on non-resident tags. It is purely points based.- Goatshoes

WY Elk unit 25/27
Low hunting pressure would be nice. You won't find those things in my camp until there is a dead elk and then it would still be tidy. -

Anybody on here have any experience with WY elk unit 25/27, archery or general? I am looking for some very general info. PM would be appreciated. Thanks, Steve -
Spearfishing intro
You got some really good responses here. Safety is important and the best thing you can do in my opinion is spend time getting comfortable in the water and with the things (animate and inanimate) that you will encounter. Your mask, regardless of brand severely restricts your peripheral vision...- Goatshoes

calling javelina with predator call. Help?
Thanks CouesKelly, I'm not sure that I know which brand, I used to have a Circe predator call that I thought sounded about right. I do plan to use spot and stalk as my primary method ( I have taken two that way) but I just can't glass all day. I am too impatient and I think having pigs come...- Goatshoes

calling javelina with predator call. Help?
Thanks guys. My thought is that if I find a likely area where javs could be hidden in the cover and I'm not likely to return, there can't be any harm in attempting to call them. In other words if the animals are there, they should respond whether I see them at the outset or not. I imagine...- Goatshoes

calling javelina with predator call. Help?
I hope to be drawn for Archery javelina in AZ. If so, I'd like to be prepared to include calling javelina into my tool kit. The question I have is, does time of year or time of day matter? I'm likely to glass the mornings and evenings and try some blind calling during the remainder of the...- Goatshoes

Scent control hunting antelope
Don't worry about the antelope smelling you. Their eye's are everything. Now, if there are deer in the area, the deer will smell you and react and they will see the deer react. But seriously. Mostly, just worry about playing the antelope. They will see you before you shoot them. Antelope... -
Montana Watefowl
I would say that there is nothing more essential than waders, assuming you have a shot gun. A half dozen cheap decoys will be enough to get you started, species doesn't really matter to much but I would get some mallards. Once you are hooked you will also require a big fat budget.- Goatshoes
