    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.

    Hunting Solo by choice or circumstance

    I do both. I prefer to at least have a camp to come back to with other people and then hunt solo from the base camp.

    2025 Idaho Sandhill Crane area 1

    I have hunted this area. I had access to a field at the time and we just hid behind wooden fence posts in the flight path. The kind of hiding that made us look more like Ranchers than hunters. I imagine if you found them in a field, the owner would let you have access in the area. OnX will...

    "Only Birds" bird dog breed

    I would maintain that it depends on what you are hunting. I also would not discount dogs that are versatile for hunting birds only. They are probably more versatile in hunting birds as well. Some hair/fur types collect more burrs than others, if you are hunting birds in burry areas then I...

    Enclosed or utility trailer

    Generally, cheap trailers break whether they are utility or enclosed. Most Cargo / Utility trailers aren't designed for off road use. They are designed for paved road use. Suspension, Tires, and Protection are needed for most trailers for hunting application, especially after a few years...

    WY left over draw results

    If there is an * next to the unit name, then it indicates areas with difficult public access. Meaning, you should do a lot of research before picking one up. (WIA, HMA, Previous Threads, Talking to Game Warden and/or Biologist, etc) A few people are stone cold killers on land with limited...
