    Free hunting social media is not free

    What are you gonna do about the Colorado wildlife commission? Or you gonna be too busy filling all the tags you can suddenly draw when all the boomers die to fool with it? It's simple math. The USFWS adds up all the hunting licenses bought in all the states. The number is getting smaller. Maybe...

    School funding

    Man, it's August. If you can't get face to face with your reps now, I question how badly you want to. They at home, doing every county fair bs event with a big enough flag in the background they can while the recess is kicking.

    26 year wait - Utah elk hunt

    Was the Honda 300 the best wheeler mankind thought to design, or is it just my own nostalgia for my late teens and early 20's? Can't wait to see how this thread goes...

    Uh oh

    First, a sample size of a couple thousand is plenty big. I was a history major, but c'mon, surely we've all had to sit through some kind of probabilities and statistics class? Second, chickens in cities means rats. Folks may not know they don't like chickens until they live next to em, but they...

    Biden Announces Lead Ammo/Lure Ban Across Eight National Wildlife Refuges by 2026

    Ain't nobody even made a monometal/penetration joke about the copper weiner. We used to be a proper country.

    Matt Rinella gives a talk at Pope and Young

    I remain unconvinced that both M Rinella and the worst of the Insta hunters aren't really chasing the same thing: the right to shoot the last one. Last elk in a drainage, last buck in the rut, last pronghorn on public. They may differ on who they let watch, but the entitlement to chase that last...

    Non-hunting vacation- Washington, DC

    I lived in DC till 2017 when the wife and I moved to the 'burbs. Still in town for work most weeks till Covid and virtual became the thing. I say that to say I may not be as current as I once was, but happy to tell what I know via PM. There's more in this thread than you can dream of doing, so...

    American prairie. What's the issue?

    I'm in complete agreement on the value of easements. But I've been working on em my whole life and ain't looking to move to Montana. Guess my only point was that folks don't seem to be moving there to live how I live or folks in cities in general live and a less bought-in individual that thinks...

    American prairie. What's the issue?

    Is he wrong though? Any of you Montanans want to swap with me and come live in my townhouse outside of DC? Or even one in Bozeman?

    goHUNT Mobile Maps comments sought in this thread

    Based on some of the other feedback in this thread, I deleted and reinstalled the app. So that's the build I'm showing, but I haven't been out to test the tracking feature since I did it. Not sure if it was updated to that build yet when I was having the problems. Hopefully will get a hike in...

    goHUNT Mobile Maps comments sought in this thread

    Has anyone else had issues with the tracking feature working, but being wildly inaccurate? Mine is showing me going places I never went when I have the tracker turned on and the track doesn't save as the route I actually took, but consists of lots of straight lines with corners cut, etc. Could...

    Heavy arrow tuning struggles

    It's probably something about the way you shoot that bow that makes the heavier arrow wonky. You can try and change the way you shoot, but seems like it's worked until now. Buying a new bow seems impractical. Leaves the arrow. Could try and nock tune the arrows you have (apologies if you already...

    Elk Diaphragm Call Longevity

    Happily married. They key (one of em) is having the utility room in the basement with the chest freezer, shelves of hunting crap, deer stands piled in the corner, and...the extra fridge for keeping beer, backup Costco milks and lemonades, aging venison so it doesn't have hang off the deck of a...

    Randy Newberg on Matt Rinella's Podcast

    If somebody wants to save the last elk, or even the second or third to last, so they can shoot it, I'm not here to argue with that motive. But be honest about it. I think there's room to debate the role of content-creators as it relates to hunting. But, I don't think anybody making a good faith...
