    Im looking for your best diving duck recipes?

    Any Ruddy that swims into the decoys is getting BB's. I know a lot that will not shoot them because they often swim into the decoys rather than fly, but they need to get off their high horse. They are a good eating duck.

    Im looking for your best diving duck recipes?

    Diver Ducks depend on what they are eating. Aquatic plants eaters are good vs fish/crustaceans are bad Red Heads, Ruddies, and Cans are quite good. Scaup, Ringnecks, and Buffleheads are not bad depending on what they are eating. Goldeneyes and Mergansers aren't worth the shotgun shell to...

    Quintessential Western Whitetail?

    To be the quintessential western WT hunt is in the river bottoms next to fields in a small section of public. You watch a flock of turkeys feed and wish they were deer instead. Then you see a whitetail buck appear randomly out of nowhere across the river under 150 yards. Lay the hammer on...

    Central White tail deer are nonexistent.

    I have hunted that area before, the reason why I do not put in for it is the youth pheasant hunt bumping the deer around. I do think the WT's are down across the state, but I still filled my tags this year in Wyoming. I did see a ton of deer through the Riverton and Lander area of both...

    Best Reusable Game Bags?

    I had Kuiu game bags for years and when they gave up the ghost, I switched to king size pillow cases. 24 pack on Amazon for $40 Tie a knot in the end if you want to hang them, give them to a friend without worries of getting them back, and you do not feel bad when you have to throw them away...

    Which western states have been disproportionately good to you in drawing tags?

    Utah. But I'm out now. Not going to pay their prices anymore. $190 for the licence and then $15 for an app fee. It used to be $80 with a $10 App fee Drew LE elk back when it was $800 and now it is $1,950. Drew Swan multiple times when it was just the App fee, now it is $195 + the app fee...

    What you learn if you spend enough time hunting wild game

    You will see random things in the woods. You may see one of life's questions that you never thought about. Like, How porcupines mate?

    Oso negro Americano / Ursus Americanus / American Black Bear

    Even if she was a boar, I think I would have just marked the location and gave the bear a year to get bigger. My first thought it is was too small, but I want to try and sex it in the field. Probably the biggest clue it was a young sow was no balls/penis sheath.

    Oso negro Americano / Ursus Americanus / American Black Bear

    Determined this young bear was a sow. Even though I had a tag, decided to just watch her feed. Also it’s crazy how some photos make this bear look bigger than what it actually is and some photos make an accurate representation of how little the bear is.

    electric bikes

    The issue with Uhauls is they are $20 a day + 0.19 a mile. They can add up pretty quickly if you have a long ways to go

    electric bikes

    Yeah, people that think they are a regular bike will be shocked at how different they are. People that think they are an atv replacement, would be shocked how different there are as well. A lot heavier and less maneuverable. Actually fairly fun to ride around town and in parks. Not as...

    electric bikes

    You want the walk beside mode on them. I drug my ice fishing sled across the ice and up a hill to the truck with one last year. I imagine with a deer skid you could do the same thing. Towing on an e-bike with a skid or sled through the woods would require the use of a helmet IMO, but...

    Deer Hunting North West Wyoming

    I know if the migration is on, it can be a very fun hunt. There are also a few whiteys that run around the area as well, if that is something you are open too if you do not see deer up high.
