Indiana DNR ends bobcat trapping season early after hunters reach the 250 harvest quota. 12/7/2025.
I wonder if the state will increase the quota in 2026?? Happy hunting (and trapping) to all, TheGrayRider a.k.a Tom.
I apply annually for any and all nonresident Western big game hunts that possibly interest me along with multiple lottery chances.
I never look at or study any of the draw companies statistics, articles, or recommendations. Don’t follow the crowds!
Luckily, I have recently drawn:
Arizona...

Happy Veterans Day 2025, upcoming on November 11.
A special thanks to all veterans of all services, all current active and reserve forces, and all who will serve in the future.
God please continue to bless America, 🇺🇸 the GrayRider a.k.a Tom.

WHY I HUNT
I hunt because my father hunted, and he took me with him, and so we built a bond that I still cherish.
I do not need to hunt to eat, but I need to hunt to be fully who I am.
I hunt because it links me with the boy I used to be and with the young man my father was then.

For anyone interested, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Black Bear Harvest Permit Application period for both residents and nonresidents is now open through 9/22/2025. $5.00 per application and I think its unlimited applications for each person.
Another conservation...
Update: Leopard skull trophy, September 2023, Botswana. My friend completed the taxidermy work. Probably another 12 to 15 months until the full-body mount of the leopard is finished.
Happy hunting to all, TheGrayRider a/k/a Tom.
