Restoring color to Antlers
I swap between ammonia and dish soap when I’m degreasing. So much easier to degrease skulls without antlers that fit in a five gallon bucket- TheTone

I don’t claim to know what sheep numbers would be like without auction tag money. It does raise more questions that kuiu has pulled off funding a number of translocations and collaring projects without a sheep having to die- TheTone

Sure would seem like western bighorn numbers should be skyrocketing with all the auction tag money that is out there. Seems like the only place sheep numbers are really increasing is in rich guys trophy rooms- TheTone

It happens across the west with any of these raffle tags. Look at how the same people have them every single year in Oregon and Washington. Often guides are combing the great or paying off locals for locations on big critters and then calling up the rich client and telling them to start buying...- TheTone

We have a family doing the same here. They only buy the sheep auction tag when it’s valid in a specific area and they sure seem to be lucky at drawing our super tags, especially when an outfitter tells them a giant moose is available- TheTone

So, how is the retirement gig?
Congrats on retirement and a great career. Very cool to have some documentation of all the places you were able to call work sites. I’m at just over 7 years to go and can’t wait to make up for lost time fishing and hunting- TheTone

When did you know a hunting partner wasn’t going to last? I’ll go first…
One year of elk hunting where it was very clear that I was basically just caller and packer. The year before we hunted the area and I’d say hunted as a team, I killed a spike and he went home empty handed. The next year back to the same area is when things kinda fell apart. As we were setting...- TheTone

Non resident Landowner incentive.
I know of an area in Idaho where a similar game is happening. One very wealthy guy has been buying up tons of ranch land but on paper a number of his employees are the listed owner thus giving them more landowner tags. Wealthy guy also got an outfitter license to get even more controlled hunt... -

Late monsoons, record El Nino...
Easy there; last time we got that was the 96/97 winter that decimated our Clearwater region elk. We still haven’t recovered- TheTone
