Wyoming resident applications?
I'm familiar with the NR application process for Antelope but I'm curious how the resident process differs. I never looked at it until now and I can't figure it out. No preference points, correct? When I glanced at the 1st choice resident applicants for a few of the S central units the number of... -
Ruffed Grouse and West Nile Virus
I'm taking time off -- or was -- in January with plans to make the long drive to our cabin in NW PA for a late season Ruffed Grouse hunt. The last time I went (5-6 years ago), we had a phenomenal year. There's been a lot of clear cutting in recent years so I was really excited to bring my 3 year...- Jim/Wa

Touchdown!
https://kfor.com/2018/10/01/touchdown-crowd-goes-wild-as-deer-runs-across-field-during-high-school-football-game/ I don't know if someone posted this already but it cracked me up. -
Salmon mountains, Idaho
Last year I spent a few days deer hunting in 19a not too far east of Loon Lake. It occurred to me at the time that this would be an easy place to end up abandoning a truck until spring if the weather became a problem. There aren't many ways in and out of there. Anyway, I'm heading that way next... -
UTV thoughts
I'm looking at UTV's strictly for hunting/trapping use. The last time I used an ATV was a Honda Big Red 3-wheeler which a farmer let us use for running traplines almost 40 years ago. Since then I've had no use for one but I find myself increasingly hunting places in Idaho/Oregon where full size...- Jim/Wa

Non-resident alien US>>Canada?
I've been working out details for a trip to Prince of Wales Island driving from Washington State via the ferry out of Prince Rupert next August or the year after (if anyone has done this or is interested feel free to PM me). It occurred to me I'd be driving through a lot of great deer and...- Jim/Wa

Remington filing for bankruptcy?
I just saw this on google news. I had no idea. Are Remington's problems widely known? -
Gun Safe in the garage?
We have an attached 2 car garage with a 8x10 enclosed "pantry" area. I'm thinking of putting a gun safe in the pantry room. The garage is not heated and if I had to guess the temperature swings throughout the year range from low 40's in winter to upper 80's in summer. The temps are mitigated... -
Trail cam pic

Idaho Beaverhead GMU
In a couple weeks, I'll be spending 5 days backpacking and doing some recon near Leadore for my upcoming November ML elk hunt. I'll mostly be in 30A but plan to spend some time in 58/59A, especially when the eclipse happens. I plan to backpack in somewhere higher for the eclipse and will be... -
Stranded...sort of...
Last friday, after a week of roaming around Idaho mostly in the upper Salmon country, I was heading home when my truck blew 2 injectors and left me stranded on the roadside. I was very lucky that I was in a pocket of cell coverage so I was able to get towed 55mi into Boise where I had to leave...- Jim/Wa

Chukar country snow levels?
Any chukar areas in OR/ID that aren't smothered in snow and ice right now? I'd really like to get my 15 month old GSP on some birds before season ends. Judging from the weather reports and highway shut downs around Baker City, it sounds like that whole region is a mess.- Jim/Wa

InReach Explorer
Does anybody use one of these? I've been looking at the InReach SE but the idea of a combo emergency locator/GPS makes more sense. It looks like the GPS mapping function is pretty marginal and won't work with an OnXmaps SD card. I just want to make sure that's correct before I rule it out.- Jim/Wa
