2022 Draw hunts
The youth hunts are a steal at $0 app fee and $7 youth license. I got to live vicariously through the boy on a Powderhorn Sambar/Whitetail and Guadalupe River SP Whitetail - long drive from Virginia though. -
Scotland hunt
Did you end up getting a hunt in? I am similarly looking at an anniversary trip and wanting to add a day of stalking. Most of what I can find online is full service multi-day outfitted trips that would not fit in with our other trip itinerary. Looking for recommendations for a half day or...- jmveverka

Supartz/Synvisc Knee Injections
Yep, I have a replacement in my future, but am too young for it now.- jmveverka

Supartz/Synvisc Knee Injections
Received Synvisc about this time last year. Was in pretty severe pain at the time. It did really well for me for a year, but the pain is starting to return to some extent, one knee is better than the other. Not sure if the cost of the injection is worth it for the temporary - albeit better...- jmveverka

Case Against R3
This discussion and the reactions to the HOC rebuttal speaks to the primary point of all of the discussions in society today about implicit bias and systemic racism. While some voices in the BIPOC community shout about “white privilege” most are not. Most are saying it is not about what you get...- jmveverka

Where to donate money for sportsman issues
No one has mentioned Safari Club International yet, so I'll plug SCI for the great work they have been putting in on Sunday hunting bans in the East - particularly Pennsylvania last year. WOuld also add the Sportsman's Alliance. Both of these would be more focused on advocacy than conservation.- jmveverka

Wyoming 43. Haven't been there for years....
Had some success out there last week. Filled 4 of 5 doe tags. Had opportunities to fill the 5th, but wind, misses, and an impatient hunting partner who was done with the hunt prevented that. I'll tell you it was a hard hunt - those animals are very spooky and are moving as soon as they see a... -
Virginia Black Bears
Not a public land bear, but punched my Virginia tag last night in a corn field I have permission on near the public land.- jmveverka

Public lands trash packout
Actually really like that idea Buzz of putting target/steel plates out - but people would likely still bring the crap to shoot at.- jmveverka

Novice Season?!
A lot of states have added youth, mentored, novice, apprentice type licenses and have allowed those hunters to go out on a special "season" usually one weekend prior to the start of other hunting seasons. It is all targeted at hunter recruitment and the idea that if a new hunter has a more...- jmveverka

Darn knees
I've got osteoarthritis in both knees, a bit different, but still hurts. When it flares up I treat with Voltaren gel, which just recently became available OTC. I always wear compression sleeves on both knees even while walking flat ground, but definitely in the mountains. Trekking poles to...- jmveverka

HMA Draw Successful
Its very weird that all of the limited entry ones I had applied for - and the couple I drew, now show no results... Glad I printed everything yesterday. -
Eastern Draw Hunts
Point creep in Pennsylvania is irrelevant. In my mind point creep is only applicable in true preference point systems, or in those bonus point systems that Cube points. Point creep hurts people that actually expect to draw a tag. No one should expect to draw a PA Elk tag. For PA, It does not...- jmveverka

Duncan Ranch HMA Wyoming - Anyone Been?
Wondering if anyone has hunted the Duncan Ranch HMA for Elk - or any other game - and if they would be willing to shoot me a PM. I did not expect to draw the access permit there (cow elk) and I did so I'm looking to pick someone's brain about the area. Thanks
