    Fire Science and Wild Sheep

    Thanks for posting that! Good read. If your into sage steepe fire ecology and the cheatgrass fires problem I'll have to take some time to go through some out resource material, theres some fascinating data out there if you'd like to read it. I think we're gonna have a data gap in the near term...

    How Natives Used Fire

    I live in the tallgrass prairie region of Kansas where native tribes would burn to attract game animals and eventually for grazing there horse. It seems the social and popular notion is they did it in the spring. However I've read some studies that think it was done in the late summer to...

    How Natives Used Fire

    I talked to a really old Florida cowboy from central Florida when I was teenager and also read about it in college, where flicking matches where ever on your drive or ride checking cattle was a common. I still remember the cowboy saying " the neighbors didn't mind, it all had to burn to keep the...

    Fire Science and Wild Sheep

    I know it is, cheatgrass has altered the fire regime out there. Along with juniper/confir encroachment as well. I think most people agree that fire in sagebrush ecosystems where cheatgrass is present generally leads to a takeover by cheatgrass. The sage steppe is interesting ecosystem in its...

    Fire Science and Wild Sheep

    I see quail do the same thing, like minutes after the fire goes by. It makes foraging alive easier. I also see elk using burned areas a lot too. They love that new growth, and on those sunny days in the winter the grounds gets little bit warmer for them to lounge on. The best part is other...

    Whats with E bikes in whitetail hunting?

    I was out on a grassfire yesterday caused by Abrams and Bradley gunnery training and right in middle on firing area were whitetails just hanging out like nothing is going on. Granted, there probably somewhat used to military training, but that's still a lot of activity and scent. I know scent is...

    Whats with E bikes in whitetail hunting?

    Ive rode a mountain bike into a special hunt draw I got in a seasonally closed Corp of Engineers camp ground, and I get that some people do get around to well either with injuries or disabilities. My feet aren't the best either anymore, its wierd how the army does that to them. My dumbfoundness...

    Whats with E bikes in whitetail hunting?

    I remember Quite Cat scooters that were popular a few years ago. I havent seen one in a bit. All I've seen is e-bikes now. Im thinking I can rebrand hoover boards for hunting. There lower profile and stealthy.

    Whats with E bikes in whitetail hunting?

    I think this accurate. I feel like e-bikes are just a convenience thing marketed under scent control. I think most of us can remember some scent control gimmicks that are laughable now. I remember scent control breath mints because if I remember the ad right it said "80% of your scent is your...

    Whats with E bikes in whitetail hunting?

    Ive been ground scented before, and I've watched deer walk down the same path Ive used 30 prior and not care either. I also think chain lube, tire rubber, tire sealant, and some scent off a working electrical motor would leave something for scent.

    Whats with E bikes in whitetail hunting?

    Ive used the term mopeds for the local Hells Grandmas E-bike gang I see around. They're also great motivation cause I've not letting a group 65 plus granny's beat me on my pedal hog.

    Ha! Fixed! The dyslexia got me.

    Whats with E bikes in whitetail hunting?

    I kind see that, but I also would think it would make just as much disturbance as walking. A person zipping through a field on a bike still would spoke a deer regardless. I spoke deer riding my non e-bike all the time even on well traveled bike trails. And I've killed a buck years ago walking in...
