Physical gold and physical silver are looking more appealing at these current prices. Silver spot could break below $60 very soon??
Good luck and happy hunting to all, TheGrayRider a/k/a Tom.
I have seen several new meat packers and assistant guides attend the various hunting shows and conventions to introduce themselves to different outfitters at their booths.
Seems like a smart way to meet and introduce oneself to potential employers. Alaska seems to be the hot spot for new young...
Update: My friend recently finished my 2026 Nevada rifle mule deer shoulder mount. I am very pleased with his taxidermy work.
Good luck 🍀 this upcoming season and happy hunting to all, TheGrayRider a/k/a Tom.
Update: The 2025 South Dakota whitetail deadhead that I found while spring turkey hunting is cleaned and already on the wall.

Found another arrowhead during quick hunt today near the pioneer homestead in North Central Indiana.
Unique aerodynamic shape on this arrowhead that I have not seen before.
The heavy rains this spring really exposed the artifacts. Happy hunting to all, TheGrayRider a/k/a Tom.
Arizona Draw Results for 2026 will probably post very soon. Good luck 🍀 to all resident and nonresident applicants.
Interesting post from @ Deerhunter74 this week on Mountain Muleys Forum regarding odds to draw a 2025 Arizona bighorn sheep tag. (Reprinted without permission. Hope he doesn’t get...
Update: Yesterday evening, I found an Indian arrowhead and a pioneer horseshoe at the old homestead in North Central Indiana.
The recent extremely heavy rains have really exposed the artifacts. The soybeans will grow soon so I will have to wait until next spring for the plows to turn the soil...
I found an 1853 US Braided Liberty One Cent coin this week at the old pioneer homestead in North Central Indiana after recent heavy rains.
173 year old coin and probably my best free range find at this site on private land. Minted in Philadelphia when Franklin Pierce was President. Also, my...
I just reviewed several different hunt point statistics for the Nevada 2024 and 2025 draws. I don’t think the final draw numbers are published yet for last week’s 2026 draw.
Every tag for any species in Nevada is a “win”. I am very blessed, thankful and grateful to have drawn a NR rifle...
Love me some Nevada. I will take it!
Congratulations to all who drew a tag this year in the Silver State. Happy hunting to all, TheGrayRider a/k/a Tom.
Nevada - October 2025. Rifle. Guided. Public land.
Good luck 🍀 this week to all resident and nonresident applicants in the Nevada draw. I hope a few Hunttalkers hit some nice tags. Very long odds but worth the effort.
Happy hunting to all, TheGrayRider a/k/a Tom.
Western Tanger. I saw one in the central Utah mountains a couple of weeks ago. Pretty.

Woodworker delivered the leopard pedestal this past week. He used 100+ year old black walnut from an old homestead. It’s not African ironwood but I like the finished look.
I am still waiting on the full-body leopard mount from the taxidermist. Should be fairly soon…Happy hunting to all...
Thanks for the information. I haven’t seen that stunt pulled by airlines yet. Good to know. Sorry for your difficulties.
Iberian Airlines (Spain) is another suspect company, to put it lightly. Beware!
Good luck 🍀 and happy hunting, TheGrayRider a/k/a Tom.
