Bots and Colorado tag reissue list
What constitutes as a "Medical reason?" Are folks going into the doctor with a sniffle and getting them to write a note saying "Jimbob is excused from his goat hunt. signed Dr. Brown"- TexanSam

Used Binos for Boat
Honestly I'd just get a set of Vortex diamondback 10x42s next time they come on sale on midway. I have the older generation of them, and they are my daily drivers as I am not afraid to drop them, fall on them or get them covered in mud. Anytime I look through a more expensive set of glass, the... -

Texas congressman introduces plan to create National Recreation Area along Gulf Coast
As hard as it is to insure anything built on those lands for the reasons I previously mentioned, I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a lot of willing sellers.- TexanSam

Texas congressman introduces plan to create National Recreation Area along Gulf Coast
To be honest, I wonder if this isn't a way to protect against future hurricane damages. It seems every decade or so a storm comes through and wipes out a lot of homes and businesses. Create a conservation area, and then you no longer have to worry about the area getting developed with...- TexanSam

Montana draw 2026
I don't know jack about conservation, but if Mule deer are struggling across the west, why is anyone shooting a mule deer doe? Legitimate question (don't crucify me plz)- TexanSam

Antelope fighting in June?
While driving home from an unsuccessful day hunt for spring bear, on a dirt road near Augusta I came across these two antelope bucks that did not seem to care about my presence, nor get out of the road. At first I thought they were stuck together somehow, so I got out of the pickup to see if... -

Montana road trip
Yes, I don’t work with peas much, but iirc the price isn’t great so there’s reduced acres this year. Plus with the early spring, most everything is already in the ground by now.- TexanSam

Montana road trip
I’m an agronomist in the Golden Triangle (Great Falls, Shelby, Havre). There’s a lot of dry land farming that goes on, and it’s pretty common to leave a field fallow every other, or every third year in order to replenish the limited moisture we get.- TexanSam

Colorado 2026 bears
Take good care of the meat and they’ll taste just fine. I don’t have any bear specific recipes, but whatever you do, be sure to check the internal temp with a probe and make sure it’s at least 165 degrees- TexanSam

Colorado 2026 bears
Normally I’d say to call the local forest service office, but they might’ve been doge’d. A local game warden though might have the answer. Don’t key into one spot/drainage/region of the unit though. With the crazy weather they’ve had, it wouldn’t be a terrible idea to plan to be agile and move...- TexanSam
