This article talks about a man being cited for spraying wolves (looks like pepper spray) but the video raised a whole lotta other questions about wolves intent, lack of fear, etc. His actions are stupid but I'm wondering if the pepper(?) spray may have saved him from being torn to shreds...
I thought it would be nice to have a thread to simply recognize some companies that stand by their product and who really work hard for sportsmen and women when the opposite is true for most of the world. Doesn't need much discussion, and please no complaints on this one (create a new thread for...
For all the X-Country travelers packing to go soon, just a reminder to prioritize the trailer checks now, so you and your gear get there and back safely. Can't believe how many trailer issues I see guys have on the road.
- Replace tires/wheels if needed. They don't last too long in my...
It’s all a state of mind. I am getting pretty excited about my backup plan’s backup tag. It’s all I drew for elk this year and nowadays, every elk tag is a valuable resource. After a few tough over the counter hunts I had inwardly vowed I would no longer go west on a less than desired tag. Too...
Looking for any punchlist tips to address an ATV that sat too long with fuel and is unwilling to run.
My 2009 Honda Rancher (TRX420FA) has sat unused for last 6 years. (It had for a time sat unused for about 8 years prior to that too!) There was apparently a small amount of residual fuel in the...
So over the winter I amassed a couple deadheads found while working in the field, a skull cap from a buck I shot, and an entire intact head from a second buck I shot but never took care of. The warm days of spring were getting very interesting (disgusting) behind my shed… the flies and maggots...
I have reason to be concerned for my 15yo daughter following various vague symptoms and now initial blood tests. Very early in looking into it but have high chromatin antibodies, low C4C, Reynoud’s syndrome in hands, chronic headaches and fatigue. She has no idea what is going on so far and we...
Show your ugly mug! What are drinking your coffee out of these days?
My favorite is this, that I bought at a garage sale in CO on my first trip out in 1998. Would have loved to go to the snowshoe festival, but 27 years of caffeine celebration is the next best thing. Quality mug if anyone knows...
Here’s something a little different. Unique pure silver pronghorn coin, 1 oz silver, Canada $5 legal tender coins. Mint condition - literally. $35/each (have a few) plus USPS shipping.
I also have some other similar wildlife silver coins in my collection - peregrine falcon, red tailed hawk...
Bow experts. How old is too old for a compound bow? I’ve got 3 bows.
~1999 Hoyt Viper Redline
~2005 Mathews Outback
~2022 Mathews V3 31
I was toying with getting rid of the Hoyt but its a nice compact and fast bow that was ahead of it’s time. A little finicky compared to newer bows, and low...
Newbie question regarding principle of seating depth / pressure applied to Barnes TTSX.
All else being equal, would there be much difference in pressure from a TTSX seated just off the lands, base of bullet above the bottom of neck to one seated way off the lands and deep in the neck with base...
Anything worth casting for in mid - late Oct around the NE corner of CO? What kind of fish are even present? Is the S. Platte wadeable? Muddy? Sandy? I’ll be deer hunting in the region but interested in spending any free time looking for a chance to fish or go after some small game.
Why are we OK with them?
Limited resources exist all over. Parking spots, hotel rooms, event tickets, picnic and camping sites, beaches, boat slips, fishing holes, and a million other things. But somehow, some way, we have accepted that the privilege to even APPLY for a theoretical chance at a...
Is it worth the trip if hunting on public and fighting the orange swarms? Oct is not possible for me so I’m considering my options for 3rd week of Nov.
I don’t know why this is sticking in my head today, but reloading wisdom says to start pretty low and work up slowly, that every rifle behaves differently, can’t be too safe, etc. Yet anybody with any rifle has no qualms about loading any factory round from any manufacturer literally having no...
