Sytes, I’ve had similar issues in my thoracic region for over a decade but symptoms have much attenuated by doing the following and I believe I may keep from doing surgery on it maybe ever:
Keeping my diet anti inflammatory more or less (more veggies and less sugar has helped for sure)
Working...
I’m really struggling with the sentiment that more hunters is bad and wanting the business model to implode; the whole goal in my mind is to draw more and more people into the outdoors whether it be hunting, birdwatching or whatever as these people will become advocates vocally and financially...
Just got hit for a late season elk tag!!!! My first out of state tag ever....@Big Fin - Thanks as I’d never have known this opportunity without your platforms
I’d like to know how many total antelope tags Wyoming residents get currently, what percentage of the residents get tags and then compare this with the other western states as I didn’t hear these numbers in Senator Hicks presentation....
My worries are perhaps a bit different than many others but I'm afraid that further limiting NR opportunity, whether it be tag price increases or license cuts like this, is going to take the wind out of the sails that you and others have so aptly set Big Fin. Hunting has to remain accessible by...
I try to be a glass is overflowing kind of guy and see this as a very positive and necessary step to get conservation and associated funding where it needs to be. I'm glad Randy, Steve, Hal and others are as effective as they've been and informed the "commons" of the opportunities that have...
I’m in the exact same boat; I got in the Utah game mainly for mule deer but that tag fee increase makes it very tough for me to justify the costs on the limited budget I have for personal spending. I’ll definitely stay in the Arizona system mainly for the value and opportunity that comes with it...
Forget great first season as those bull sprigs and banded greenhead are “career birds” in my book....pretty special stuff and that makes me want to hunt Nevada now!
I tend to agree notwithstanding any disagreements with the NA model. The CO landowner vouchers have always given me heartburn, especially considering the fact that some are valid on surrounding public lands throughout a unit rather than just on a discrete private parcel.
I’ve thought about what the OP brought up too and it is indeed interesting to mull. I’ve thought it is also interesting that no AZ elk have shown CWD yet and they have consequently been used to supply transplant efforts out east. Then again, AZ, in general, has not shown any incidence of CWD...
Yes, that is frustrating to me too but I believe the key word in your post is was as I don't recognize his name on the TRCP BOD anymore, correct (I believe it was Paul Vahldiek Jr if I'm not mistaken)?

I’m afraid that this shift to a more northerly winter staging area for waterfowl is not ephemeral as there have been multiple slow seasons in the south over the past 5 or so years. DU has talked about this too and the Flyways may very well be seeing a general shift that will be long-lasting due...
I heard Lee Kjos mention on BHA's podcast recently that the Saskatchewan government was again considering requiring at least non-resident aliens (e.g. US Citizens) to have a guide to hunt waterfowl in the province which would eliminate the freelance waterfowling that I believe many of us on here...
