Just curious, how is the fall walleye fishing on Fort Peck? I don't know the lake real well but roughly speaking the mid-section of the lake from Snow Creek Bay to The Pines Recreation Area. I'm sure it's good but know that it can also be a tough lake to figure out in just a few days. I have...
A few weeks ago, I was watching Powder Valley super close for a few powders and was lucky enough to get in 2 orders on different days. Was a little over zealous though and don't need it all. I'm gonna be going through MT tomorrow on I-94 from ND to Billings and so if someone from MT was...
Had a great week of hunting in CO this September this year with Schism. On the 4th day, we were following a herd up the mountain and got to within 100 yards or so and he started bugling at the bull, raking some trees and making a ruckus. The bull stalled, started to rake a tree on the other...
Anybody use the rest step technique when climbing terrain? I heard of it for the first time awhile ago and if you don't know what it is, here's the gist of it: When going up steep terrain or in snow, take a step and then momentarily lock your knee. That takes the weight off your muscles and...
So I was going to mail in a check this weekend for a raffle drawing for an outfitted stone sheep hunt in the Yukon that was valued at about $45,000. Then I started thinking about if I actually won it, how much of a tax bill would I get? Is it basically taxed as ordinary income or are there a...
For those of you with points or that have hunted AZ, are you going to burn your deer points on mule deer or coues? I've got 10 points and everybody that has hunted coues deer has said it's a blast and they're going to do it again. I don't know that it's worth it to wait for a late season Strip...
Anyone hear much about a new super bonus point option being floated by the AZ Game and Fish? Maybe it's already been discussed and I missed that thread... Anyways, here's a link to the page. https://www.azgfd.com/agency/dedicated-funding-source/
You have to poke around a bit to find the...
I drew a 2nd choice tag this year for Wyoming and once again, had a great time. My only regret is that I was going to take a detour over to Newcastle and hit the Pizza Barn on the way home and I totally forgot! Damnit anyways I let Cush down again. Haha. Oh well. Gives me 1 more reason to...
The story of my hunt will be Terry style: A bull walked out of the trees the first night and I shot it. The end.
A couple thoughts:
The OnxMaps app on the phone is great. First time I've used it for my phone and it was awesome.
A 300 grain bullet makes one hell of a SMACK!
I bought a...
I'm a little late on this thread! Has been awfully busy this year. And I haven't quite figured out how to keep portrait pics vertical and landscape pics horizontal. For those of you that are smarter than me, please tell me how!
Overall, 2017 was a very solid year. Started out with a bang...
What do you guys do with leg shanks? My dad always used to throw them in the garbage but that's not me. In the past I've done a few different things. I've meticulously cut out the meat from the sinew (way too damn much time). Other times I've just cut it into chunks and thrown in it in the...
Anybody bailing on the WY moose and sheep points game now that it's $150 a point? I'm 33 and am at 8 for sheep and 7 for moose. Feel like it's kind of silly to continue for at least moose. Probably will stay the course on sheep. I feel like it's inevitable though that the NR split will go to...
Oh the stuff you see when out hunting... Maybe they wanted to have a picnic in the backcountry? Nothing like dragging a 30-40 quart cooler across the hills!
My 1,000th post here. Woohoo!!!
This year, I drew a MT antelope tag and also a 2nd choice WY tag. I had wanted to go separately for each hunt and hunt each opener but I ended up having to combine them. I went to MT before the opener and then went to WY after that and caught the middle of...
So I picked up a leftover antelope doe tag in a unit in NE Wyoming just for kicks and was looking at the road map today on the county website. It shows one road as a county road that is a 2 track at best. I mean you can barely even make out a trail on an aerial map. Would that be a legitimate...
I'm going to apply for a leftover cow elk tag. What is the price going to be on a Type 4 tag vs. a Type 6 tag? Is it going to be the 2 different prices or just 1? Are they going to run 2 different lotteries for the regular priced tags and the reduced price tags or just lump everything...
If anybody is in the market for an Inreach, Cabela's has a really good sale on them right now. And if you use the code 16SHOP before January 2, you should be able to get an extra $15 off a $100 order.
I bought one this year and it was great to not have to worry about getting cell service to...
Anyone ever see the show Fight to Survive? I haven't watched it much but there was an episode just on about a woman who was attacked in California. I think it happened quite a few years ago but she is a former Marine and was mauled awfully bad. The re-creation of it wasn't that great but the...
Does anyone else here suck at elk hunting? Burned 7 points this year on a damn good elk tag in WY and did not fill after hunting about 12 days even though we had some phenomenal information and help from previous tag holders. Also ran into the game warden during a summer scouting trip who was...
