    Charlottesville, VA?

    I'm a Pennsylvania hunter with a girlfriend who travels for work to Charlottesville. Thinking about a road trip to get some late season muzzleloader hunting in. Looking for any help - could be tips where to go or trade some hunting at your place for some hunting at mine. I've got about 300...

    Anyone a coyote fanatic here?

    The article I read says killing coyotes is usually pointless for the reason you stated, but getting as many as possible in the spring right before fawn season can work because you're getting fawns through that critical time before the coyotes can rebound.

    Scammers almost got my mom ...

    We dealt with this with my grandmother around 5-8 years ago when her dementia was getting worse. She was getting scam calls every day, nearly scammed a few times. We tried a phone number blocker so only approved/family calls could get in, but they were spoofing numbers. The solution ended up...

    Barnes TTSX recovered from elk

    I haven't recovered any myself, but I've seen recovered Barnes muzzleloader bullets that look exactly like that (except bigger) and I've shot 6-8ish deer with them and had perfect results. Pass through from any angle, good controlled expansion judging by wound channel, no bullet fragments, dead...

    Opening Week vs. Following Week for Public Land Hunters

    I was in a similar situation last fall for WY pronghorn. Due to my custody schedule I had to hunt the second week in a unit with 100% draw for second choice (had an * for difficult public access). Nearly every hunter I spoke with had a difficult hunt, put on a ton of miles driving and hiking...

    PA Bear regulation changes..

    There's nothing "eradication" about any part of bear management in PA. I shot a 100# bear in a situation similar to the OP describes (250# sow and 2 other 100# bears), and while that group was harvested (along with 3000 other bears that year) the population was fine. I did this in 2001 and...

    CWD cure???

    In full agreement against the "Unified Sportsmen of PA". They're a special combination of selfish and scientifically illiterate. PA is carrying about double the deer herd that our forests can sustain, because over the past 50-ish years our woods have matured out of the early-succession habitat...

    CWD cure???

    A gentleman from the PA chapter of BHA contacted the CWD Alliance (he highly recommends their website if you want CWD info). Here is the response: Thank you for contacting the CWD Alliance. Over the years, there have been numerous studies exploring the potential role of spiroplasma bacteria in...

    How to hunt more western hunting seasons

    Don’t forget spring bear and turkey so you can hunt April and May. And also DIY New Zealand in March if you really want a full schedule.

    Hunter Harassment - Antelope Unit 19 State Trust Land

    My cousin's group was hunting on a (open to the public) timber company property a few years ago, close to the line but definitely somewhere they had the right to be. The adjoining landowner/neighbor came out to confront them and kick them off "his" property. Tempers flared, neighbor fires a...

    Who, of you....

    One is still tied in my bootlaces of whatever boots I was wearing in Iraq. Other is on an old keyring. Both in a box in the attic for the kids to look at someday. USMC 2003-2011

    Wyoming landowners for antelope access

    I just spoke to a lady with the Sheridan office of WGFD. I had previously received a list of landowners from her that could be contacted to arrange private land access. She informed me that the program/list was discontinued a few years ago, but that a list would be available in August for doe...

    So long TV - Hello Amazon

    Congrats on the move and thanks for doing so! I cut the cord almost 3 years ago, because I was busy with young kids and didn’t watch enough TV to justify the extra $100 per month it cost me. I would watch OYOA/FT, MeatEater, and Jim Shockey. The rest of outdoor programming and the rest of TV...

    Virginia late muzzleloader anyone?

    Anyone going to be hunting VA's late muzzleloader season Dec 28-30? I'm heading down from PA to hunt some spots on National Forest recommended by my brother, who was a resident until recently. That said, I'm not tied to any particular county/area. If anyone is interested we could meet up...

    Pennsylvania Opener

    Shot my PA buck this morning also. Some neighbors were walking around and they moved this buck right to me. My wife was loading the boys up for daycare, so she came by and we took them down for pictures with him. Small 7-pt rack, but good body size.

    Colorado 3rd Season OTC Units

    I hunted an OTC unit for elk by myself a few years ago. Just a word of warning, it's a big undertaking. You need to be confident and self-reliant with camping gear and hiking and navigating in unfamiliar terrain. Then if you're lucky enough to get an elk the real work begins. An elk will be...

    Another TV guy gets caught and pays; but not enough

    As a veteran I don't understand the Nugent-love, and I never vote for him on the NRA board. Don't know why he hasn't been run off the air yet either.
