    Devaluing Non-Residents

    Reposting your tables @Oak because they deserve to be seen again. The fact that several NR on this very thread can look at these numbers, coupled with the drastic increases in NR demand over the same time period, and then keep right on trucking with the “I don’t get enough opportunity”, is...

    Hunting: Human Vulnerability to Orf Virus?

    So, as is often the case, there are many related viruses in the pox virus group, each often affecting a different species or group of animals. Orf is in the same Parapoxvirus genus as some others that affect deer, cattle, and other hooved animals globally. Orf virus itself is probably less well...

    Tiny skulls

    That turned out really nice. My only tip if you are doing the boiling method would be to run the simmer fluids through a strainer. And have some kind of fine strainer over the sink drain to catch teeth. Smallest teeth will be in the center, getting larger as you move outward. They’ll only...

    Cue the Bambification of CO's wolves...

    I actually happened to be in Denver last week and talked to a few folks about this, and other CO-centric predator subjects. Thoughts I guess are: Wolves were coming anyway. Reintroduction simply advanced the timeline. The complete lack of any type of plan for management once “recovery” is...

    Fwp December commission meeting

    Yep, just your run of the mill keyboard warrior. I’ve never done anything remotely useful for wildlife. Too busy typing on my warrior keyboard to have any clue what podcast you are referencing. Was that supposed to hurt my feelings? 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m out. This is going nowhere, as usual. Thinking a...

    Fwp December commission meeting

    That’s great Doug. Glad you aren’t just sitting on here complaining. Hope some others follow your lead. But I hope you can also appreciate, from the other side, how absolutely frustrating it is to see a ton of keyboard warriors virtually copy-pasting hundreds of almost verbatim, fairly...

    Fwp December commission meeting

    Well Doug, yes, you could throw up your hands and exclaim we’re screwed. Or you could put your money where your mouth is, buckle down and fiercely engage in the current system as many experienced and well-versed posters have described in detail. Your call. @Ben Lamb @Schaaf @Big Fin @Gerald...

    Fwp December commission meeting

    No, we shouldn’t go to elected because it’s not going to solve the problem it’s being touted to solve.

    See? There are just too many for one person to keep track of! 😁

    MT CWD positive?

    Prevalence in does is lower, so perhaps folks who are really just in it for the meat will just be more likely to shoot does than bucks. Obviously that presents its own problems. Several states have reported fewer hunters hunting in positive zones once prevalences reach higher levels. Not sure...

    Make Bison Hunting Great Again

    I must have been under a rock when you posted this. Glad I stumbled across it, because it’s one of the best stories I’ve read. Congratulations.

    2023 Talkie Hunt Recaps - by popular demand

    Ok, I almost didn’t do this but I had a lot of folks sending messages in support of the Talkie’s continuation. So here it is- my selection of Best Hunt Recaps for 2023. Disclaimer: these are stories I personally enjoyed, and hope others didn’t miss. There is no voting, no prizes. I am also not...

    Fwp December commission meeting

    The only thing electing commissioners provides are seven new opportunities for politics and money to be inserted into wildlife management. If you think average everyday sportsmen are going to be elected into these positions or will have more of a voice, you are fooling yourself. Look at the...

    MT CWD positive?

    Both of our bucks tested positive this year. We won’t eat positives. To me, three prion diseases that have been transmitted to people via consuming prions is plenty of evidence that I don’t want to assume the risk. But that said, I also have no interest in shooting deer if I can’t eat them. Not...

    Whistle Blown on Tennessee CWD

    Certainly possible. Definitely hard to tease these things out, especially when we’re dealing with wild populations on the landscape where it’s impossible to control, or even identify, all the possible variables at work. I guess it’s places like the Ruby that give me pause when it comes to the...

    Whistle Blown on Tennessee CWD

    Aside from the link @Oak posted, I have not seen anything super optimistic about predators and CWD. Because CWD positive animals are likely positive and shedding infectious prions into the environment for some number of months prior to being symptomatic, it’s not clear whether predators will...

    Do you need therapy- check your social media feed?

    About what I would I expect, although I’m a little worried that mine looks a lot like some of the ones being posted 😂 Mine is usually a lot of inappropriate memes, Baby Yoda, sports, wildlife, workouts. And it often has boobs, but they’re usually trying to sell me lingerie.
