    Call to Action for Horse and Burros Management

    Like most years, the Congressional appropriations language has the horse and burro "rider" that prohibits the full implementation of the 1971 Wild Horse and Burro Act. Unlike most years, there is a real chance public opposition can remove this rider language and we can manage excess horse and...

    Ruby Mountains Fossil Fuel Adminstrative Withdrawal Cancelled

    Disclaimer, I am all for oil and gas development, but not in areas that have plummeting wildlife populations and have low potential for the resource even being there. I have also yet to meet the hunter that has said the mule deer hunting in the Ruby's is better than it was 20 years ago...

    Long-range Muzzleloaders

    Most of the states I hunt in prohibit scopes on muzzleloaders. Curious what ranges people are shooting big-game with "long-range" open sight muzzleloaders. I have a T/C and my farthest shot on game is 130yds but curious how far a semi custom set-up can reach out to. thanks

    NV wildlife commission

    Local NPR interview regarding the make-up of the wildlife commission. Interesting that HSUS agrees that ballot box science is a bad idea. IMO the interview was a red herring in order to talk about coyote hunting contests...

    In my 2nd year of bird hunting in Nevada/California/Arizona and my shot to hit ratio is pretty low. Wonder if anyone has shooting advice for wild chukar and quail mainly crossing at 30-40 yards at full speed. I try to make my shooting as instinctive as possible but I primarily use the...
