    Has anyone hunted elk from a kayak

    I fish out of a kayak. Much better tools for the job vs a kayak. I built outriggers for mine and I still would not load a deer on it. (Maybe a cottontail or a squirrel!)

    And they're off! Idaho tag rush Dec 2023

    RE: Draw. Not 100% wrong. But the issues I have with a draw are as follows. Eliminates all in person purchasing (After listening to a recent commission meeting, I sense they are still trying to have an opportunity for residents to purchase for an NR (EX Dad in now lives in FL) Even with system...

    And they're off! Idaho tag rush Dec 2023

    I had 6 elk zones (prioritized) on my list. When my number came up, one zone was left (My lowest 2 zones were tied on my priority list) I took it. If another state comes through for me, the tag goes back. If not, I will be hunting ID for elk in 2024. Every possible purchasing method has...

    Greatest Shot Ever--A Thread--Post Your's

    Great and/or lucky. (also keep in mind they happened 45-50 years ago and less "wise") As a "ute", I killed a blackbird at ~ 50 yards with BB gun. Launching shots like we always did. It was at the top of a large tree. When I shot, it rotated 180 to hanging upside down. Never could hit it again...

    MN CROSSBOW NOW LEGAL FOR ALL DURING ARCHERY SEASONS

    Squirrel. The MN DNR has NEVER cared about deer herd quality in MN. Their priority is "opportunity" (IE $$$$$$. Tag sales) Look at when they schedule the gun/rifle season (Peak of rut in Nov. EVERY YEAR) Look at what it takes to buy a deer gun license. (You can buy a buck tag, OTC, until the...

    Any good recommendations to thank block management enrolled landowners during elk hunt?

    I would not give whiskey unless you know they like it. Might even offend them. One of the things I have done is look up the local farm store and get them a gift card. (Always things they can use around the ranch) Per Rocky, hand it to them in person. Small gesture, but it sets you apart and...

    Baiting Bill (1151) is Senate side

    Congratulations Brock! Take a victory lap. But having been involved in political battles over the years, keep this in mind. You have to win every time. The political opposition only has to win once. Be prepared next legislative biennium. And the next,,,,,,, and the next.

    ND HB 1151

    Baiting or no baiting. My opinions are not terribly important. What I do NOT agree with is legislative (Or other branches of govt) overriding the biology subject matter experts. The G&F is in place for this purpose and tasked with this responsibility. (You don't have to agree with everything...

    Lifetime Licenses

    I purchased a lifetime fishing license for myself and my wife before we left MN. (2006) I also purchased a lifetime MN archery deer license. Has my wife realized the value of the fishing license? No. But every few years, she does use it. That freedom also has value. For myself, I take great...
