    Does anyone feel like outdoor recreation declining back to post-COVID level?

    Its going to be interesting to see what happens this summer up here. I hope tourism is down. Its nearly doubled in the last 10 years and is unsustainable, IMO. Especially when the impacts are felt by locals and the money walks out the door via seasonal NR employees and businesses owners.

    Question for the 30 cal guys

    I've been happy with 165 and 180 accubonds in my 308s and 300 mags. I've shot them for a really long time (basically when they first came out in the early 2000s), and have never had an issue or reason to change other than lead vs non-lead issue.

    Prospectors. Let’s see that gold!!

    It’s wild what was left when gold was $20/oz and we were on the gold standard.

    Prospectors. Let’s see that gold!!

    Cool stuff. Gold fever is all around these days it seems. I work for a number of gold mining companies and love when we talk millions of ounces. Crazy money out there right now

    Heat source options for tent camping.

    I love a good wood stove, but if you don't want to fuss with wood, I'd go with a Nu Way propane heater, or a diesel heater like Rocky posted above. For overnight burns in the wood stove, I toss in BBQ briquets, or half a fire log, depending on size of stove. Trial run it, because both get...

    Everyone’s Saying the Same Thing After Scientists 'Resurrect' the Dire Wolf

    how about working on a strain of wild sheep that doesn't die?

    Montana missouri breaks sheep 2025 regs.

    I don't believe there has ever been a successful repopulation after a big die-off. The Highlands in MT had around 500 sheep in the 90s they died down to around 50. I think there is about 150 today. I believe they augmented that herd after the die off as well. I also think their estimated...

    Evaluate the ROI on Education

    @MTGomer hit it on the head. If you work for someone you are really never going to "make it." I know lots of guys that own their own business, do well, but also work their asses off and when work has to be done it has to be done. They aren't dropping everything to take a vacation, unless they...

    Spend my Bonus - Part Deux

    Option 4... put deposit on a flyout caribou/moose hunt in AK or some other adventure?

    Don't let an accident become a tragedy

    People that hunt with a round in the chamber are terrified of failure. They somehow think that 2 second delay to chamber a round is going to cost them an animal. I've been dumb enough to even forget to load the magazine... I've yet to "starve" through a winter. Hell, most people give the meat...

    Colorado deer suggestions?

    Colorado deer suggestions?

    I shot my last 200"er on a left over tag. Lace em up and put in the work!

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

    I like your optimism that you belive a tag is possible though. Keeps the dream alive. Let him decide what he wants to do. Seems like its an adult decision he needs to make, maybe he can rotate though and keep the points active?

    Sheep mount

    I like the contrast.

    Montana missouri breaks sheep 2025 regs.

    I presume you know the back story on the wild sheep or lack there of in your backyard in the Gravelys/Greenhorns? If not, the saga is worth the reserch. How one ranch owner can dictate the management of wild sheep is crazy. The best part is W$F partnered with them, and was selling W$F logo'd...

    Montana missouri breaks sheep 2025 regs.

    I thought someone was going to take their gloves off? Seems like you need more auction tags and fundraising. Maybe some guzzlers?

    Other Big Game .... Let's see them!!!

    I was very lucky both trips to RSA on spiral horned game. Had an amazing time, and really want to go back with the family I can't believe it's been 20 and 16 years. Lots of adventures since, but damn... Time flies

    Double-tapping with a .243 vs one shot with 30-06?

    I shot a few dozen deer and antelope with a 243, can't really think of many that needed a double tap. Even a couple elk, that died with one shot.
