Randy has done a remarkable job pulling together this information so first and foremost, check out the podcasts and videos he's put together. He does a solid job of explaining the differences and why we all lose out if this happens.
But, the TLDR of it is that states like Wyoming do not allow...
A couple things to unpack with this post.
1. You play the downtrodden NR victim card way too much.
2. Residents of Western States owe you nothing, least of all a hunting license.
3. If you don't like the way a specific state wants to deal with their license allocations, stay home and hunt...
The sun shines in Anchorage about 50 days a year if you're lucky. We get about 12 days above 70. You get used to it but even when it's sunny it's nothing like sun in the west.
You'll be isolated and it's expensive to leave. Airline tickets tend to be about 25-50% more. But you can find...
Ya I was reading Oregon St is making a deal to play the mountain west schools next year , I’m still bummed the conference my dad grew up with that I came to love and follow with a passion the Pac 10 , is gone…. my dad is a big Oregon State fan and to see that school become an after thought...
Welcome here to HT . Last yr was my first yr doing out west hunts I took a pronghorn and a mule deer from NM , this yr I'm gana try for elk so I'm kinda in the same shoes has you for elk
Nothing to retract there Chief.
WI has high fence operations, just like TX, absolutely no different.
That's a direct move toward privatization of wildlife (European model), vector for diseases, and in defiance of the NAM.
Simple fact, and you should be working to fix that, instead you're keen...
I’ll give you this Ben I haven’t seen you duck out on anything. You could have just avoided this thread instead of facing it like this. Thank you for your help with the goals that the concerned citizens are trying to reach.
1.) We did look at ways to improve land swaps in terms of valuation relative to the wildlife conditions on both state and private but it become pretty convoluted quickly so we abandoned that idea. The hope was that the we could ensure that values traded on both sides included wildlife habitat...
None of this is about opportunity or tags fees. The NR bellyaching is a bunch whiners that feel the world owes them something. You're not entitled to a 6 point bull in Wyoming or Colorado just because you scroll GoHunt all day and buy preference points. There are more opportunities to hunt the...
Find a job here and move, nothing stopping you, but you. Housing is expensive and decent paying jobs arent around every corner. Hospitals for specialists require travel out os state. Weather isn't fantastic. Not exactly awash in diversity or culture. Services are pretty limited, not many...
I'm glad you are not king for a day.
While residents in the intermountain west gripe about how wildlife is being managed in our states, we also know that we enjoy a richly blessed wildlife resource.
For ANYONE on the outside looking in and hoping for a better shake, there is such an obvious...
I've often considered it. But when it's not hunting season, I'm fishing. Tough to find better fishing than here in MN. There are other things that have stopped me from just up and moving as well.
I have found my groove by making a few trips out west every year plus hunting around home. It's a...
A month ago, I lost one of the cornerstones of my life.
This loss was forecasted months earlier when my phone rang and Barrie began speaking erratically. She was loosing her great mind. I called her son. He confirmed that not only was her mind going, but so was her body.
She was 97, lean...
Winner:
Ian Baylon moved to Montana in April 2022 after watching "Yellowstone" and visiting the state.
The 34-year-old said you get more bang for your buck renting in Montana than in the Bay Area...
You have to Ask Buzz about that, he is the expert on Greedy pricks. After all he coined the phrase on here calling Arizona residents Greedy pricks who didn’t want any NR to draw a 🏷️ 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah I saw you were from Washington, perfect example what the other states shouldn’t turn into but what...
Good morning, my plan is to write up my first elk story, and journal as I move through my next elk story. I am blessed to have drawn a coveted bull tag. My dream has been to fly in for quite some time now.
I sat against the bull astonished. Glistening tines, and lustrous rich brown hair. I...
