    USPS

    Seems like Musk would likely have applauded you whether he is drugged out or sober.

    USPS

    Similar and I’m not particularly rural. USPS is dramatically better for me than UPS or FedEx. Although, my PO Box is in a town 12 miles away. The post office in my town is rarely open, and unreliable, so I rent a box in a larger town that I drive through most days anyway. I don’t mind. The...

    Can your hunting rights be bought?

    I don’t think there is a number where I would stop hunting, but there may be tags I would sell for $2000. I drew a very mediocre mule deer tag this year. Somewhat illogically, I would not have sold it for $2000. I might have thought it over, but I think I’d have kept it. Now for the illogical...

    Cementum aged critters - Let’s see them..

    I wish I had something worth posting. I know most areas get results that appear, and likely are, accurate, but I sent 5-6 mule deer in with @npaden, and got unreliable results. I didn’t have anything very old, so it would be hard to miss by a lot of years, but the deer that were clearly on the...

    Cementum aged critters - Let’s see them..

    I could get on board with 3.5 in the pictures, but even then, he didn’t grow a ton between when you killed him and those pictures, which makes me think you could almost talk me into him being 4.5 in the pictures. He sure isn’t 1.5 in those pics. Or even 2.5.

    Which one would you shoot?

    B and ac look great, but they also look like they have amazing potential later. E looks great! A looks old! With a bow I’d have a hard time passing any of them.

    Massive forky muleys pic thread

    Had a hard time talking my dad into one that looked just like this one Wednesday. He said he’d shoot him so I could have the meat, but I didn’t want him to shoot it if he didn’t actually want it. He said he didn’t really want such an ugly deer. My dad only likes beautiful symmetric typicals. I...

    .223 Fur Friendly Loads

    My 12 twist 223AI was toast before they came out. They won’t shoot at all in my 14 twist 223AI or 12 twist 222. They shoot great from my buddy’s 12 twist 223AI, but, no, I never shot one on an animal. I’m surprised Hornady didn’t put anything on the label. That is a very long bullet for 53gr...

    .223 Fur Friendly Loads

    50gr Nosler BT’s @2900 from my .222 were excellent on fur. They always got in before damaging hide, and never exited. The only exceptions I had were hitting low. A leg bone would open it up, then it would exit the leg and wreck the hide on the chest. Hornady’s tended to blow early. Higher...

    2025 Colorado Bighorn Sheep Hunt

    I’m as surprised as you are that the first shot didn’t put him down. I’ve had two deer, one mine, and one my wife’s, where the hit was above the lungs, and below the spine, but the deer died instantly anyway. I assume it’s a disruption of the spinal column. I guess the “temporary wound cavity”...

    2025 Colorado Bighorn Sheep Hunt

    Patience seems to pay off more than I expect, over and over, but man I’d be in a hurry. He doesn’t sound dead, and if he manages any sort of recovery, I’d think he would want to be a very long way from where he just got shot. But again, patience seems to pay when I think it won’t, and rushing...

    2025 Colorado Bighorn Sheep Hunt

    No way I’d be able to sleep tonight! I’m not sure I could have held back and not made a move, but after archery hunting for a few years now, I’d say that I’ve learned that patience pays off more than I thought it would. I’ve always been one to make the most of the opportunity at hand rather than...

    Idaho moose refund problems

    As much as fronting money helps odds, you can’t expect me to front the money if you can’t issue the frickin refund. Seems like standard government incompetence. They rarely pay price for failures because they’re the only ones allowed to do what they do. It’s no like you can just use one of the...

    How bad is an old wildfire to traverse?

    I’ve been in some that were no big deal at all. More work than the same mileage without blow down, but I still did 23 miles that day. I’ve also seen some that I didn’t even want to try. Your screenshot doesn’t look too bad. Sometimes satellite photos tell the story, and sometimes they don’t, at...

    Which of the big 3 in Colorado to keep going after?

    I’m a little late for CO big 3, but I’m glad he stayed in on moose. If moose is what he wants, that’s what he’ll most likely continue to buy when he’s on his own paying for his apps. Of the three, I too would prefer moose, however, CO has so many goats that it would be hard to walk away from...

    Picatinny rail or reg bases for mark v and vx6 scope?

    I don’t think it would go any higher with bases and rings. It would weigh 2-4oz more though. Depending on what bases and rings you used.

    Selling Public Land for Budget Reconciliatory Bill

    Yep. His post reminded me of a conversation I had with a guy that was smoking a cigarette and wearing an “I’m with her” hat in early 2008. I was in college, and had just finished mowing his lawn for $30. Standing in front of his $250k house(2008 dollars), he began to tell me why we needed to...

    Selling Public Land for Budget Reconciliatory Bill

    If you read the amendment, it doesn’t prevent the sale of federal lands. It only states that the proceeds from such a sale cannot be used to reduce the deficit. It literally calls for the creation of a “deficit neutral fund” to place those proceeds in, so that they can only be used to prevent...
