    Science and the North American Model

    I ran across this article on another forum and wondered what the thoughts around here would be. http://advances.sciencemag.org/content/4/3/eaao0167.full I'd have to say that the conclusions hit me rather uncomfortably. I'm hoping that there maybe some folks that are more knowledgeable to help...

    Episode on Fire

    On several occasions the effects of fire on the landscape as well as wildfire suppression have been brought up. I was thinking that an episode discussing the historical firefighting policy right up to current day would be interesting. I don't know who the best guest would be for this, but...

    Senate sporting bill?

    So I saw a thread pop up on another forum about this bill and was curious what other's opinions were on it. I did read through it, but I don't do the best at translating lawmakerese into what it will actually mean. I could just be overly cynical and assuming Congress is trying to find a way to...

    Do I have the right idea?

    So I've been researching DIY elk hunts. I would love to do a archery hunt, but I have some questions or issues. I think my equipment will do the trick, PSE Stinger and Bass Pro arrows with Muzzy fixed tips. I think that I have an idea with an Idaho hunt. I was looking at the OTC tag in unit 35...

    Larger Voice on Land Transfer

    http://www.fieldandstream.com/articles/hunting/2016/08/transferring-control-of-federal-lands-would-devastate-hunting-and-fishing?src=SOC&dom=fb This came across my Facebook feed and I figured that you folks would like to see that Field and Stream and Outdoor life have cast their lot in the land...

    Semi-auto Shotguns

    I'm sure this is one of those things that ends up a personal preference, but I was looking for input on semi auto shotguns. I noticed in the latest Dick's Sporting Goods ad that they have a sale on the Remington VersaMax Sportsman for $750. They also have the Beretta A300 on sale for around...

    Gary Johnson

    I noted today that the Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson is having a townhall meeting on CNN. It sparked me to do a search on Google to see where he stands on issues that are important to sportsmen. He is very much a 2nd amendment advocate. His environmental stance has at the least potential to...

    Arrows

    Hey all, I just wanted to get the opinion of the experts here on arrows. I'm thinking of getting new ones and thought I'd see what you folks thought. I'm looking at using them on whitetail and turkey. I'm finding it hard to justify the higher cost of name brand over the Bass Pro lineups at half...

    Turkey Season Times

    I'm curious if anyone knows where the limit on afternoon turkey hunting came from? In Illinois we have to shut it down at 1 pm, but I'm seeing several articles about other states making changes to allow later hunting.

    Family Connections

    Folks, I have what is likely a silly question. To be fair, I'm a new hunter as it is, had my first two whitetails in Illinois this year. That being said, I've been bitten hard by the bug, and I hope to see an Elk hunt in the future. The only way it could happen is on public land, and you people...

    7 mm Rem Mag

    So I just picked up a Savage 16 on clearance chambered in 7 mm Rem mag. I freely admit that I'm a complete novice when it comes to rifles, and firearms in general. The main use for this rifle for the time being will be target shooting and putting big holes in coyotes. I know this wasn't the best...

    Conservation Groups

    So I think it is really time to put my money where my mouth is. I want to find a conservation group that is worthy of my support, both time and money, but I don't know which one would be best and frankly beneficial to me. I've done some research on sites like charity navigator to get started...

    Blind Rattling for Whitetail

    Hey all. Just wanted to ask what you thought about blind rattling. I decided to give it a try. Well I thought it was going to be blind. The moment I started into a nice loud session, a pair of does bolted out of cover around 100 yards away. Would this be normal behavior or did I screw up my...
