    Not on Your Bucket List

    Never had a desire to hunt an elephant. However, I was recently in a trophy room with an African bull on one wall at the same height he would have been in real life. It commanded the room and was really impressive. I still will not hunt one but I have zero issue with those who legally do.

    Wow. I had no idea Sheep tag numbers had dropped that much. 😔

    Points systems - when is it fraud

    The information I quoted was, in part, from an outdoor life article posted below. I’m curious what the numbers actually are if that is incorrect. https://www.outdoorlife.com/conservation/wyoming-preference-point-big-game-tag-changes/

    Points systems - when is it fraud

    As I read the numbers, when the Wyoming point system started in 1998 there were 250 sheep tags and 200 moose tags available. Now, there are 180 sheep tags and 100 moose tags available. I don’t see how the system cannot change unless people want to continue paying into something that cannot...

    AZ auction tags going away

    I am so incredibly thrilled to see Arizona take this action. I used to drink the koolaid that these high bidders actually contributed to conservation efforts. Then I did a deep dive into sheep populations and tag numbers in the Intermountain West for the past 50 years. It shocked me that tag...

    Wyoming moose

    Saw this pretty bull last summer. Would love to turn him up again this year and see his growth.

    Yikes! I didn’t realize how often that happens until we were running to make our ferry just in time. Hope the weather improves enough soon to make it home.

    No, we were in the mountains northwest of the lodge; maybe an hour away. We did take the ladies to the property adjacent and they loved it.

    You have an incredible country and the people are even better. Hoping to do some free range hunting in the future. Those mountains are spectacular.

    Yes, he gross taped out at just over 290. Was hoping to break the 300 inch mark but didn’t quite make it.

    We left that area for some back basins hoping to catch some stags as they moved for beddings areas while the day warmed up. We were glassing a new group of four when we saw a stag move down the opposite ridge towards a nasty Manuka thicket. Even from a distance we could tell he was big. We hiked...

    Before the hunt began I knew I wanted a stag with major mass. I feel the same way about nearly every antlered or horned animal. They just look so cool. We arrived at the property early (7 am) and started heading up the mountain. The tussock grass and plants in the area are beautiful but...

    After seeing the beautiful country it was time for some hunting. I have always loved the way red stags crown at the top of their antlers. They have always seemed so regal to me, although I may need to attribute that to my wife’s love of Victorian English movies. Honestly, seeing some red stags...

    It is perhaps self apparent, but still deserves mentioning, that New Zealand hunting typically consists of estate hunting parcels with high fences. There is some incredible free range hunting there, though the caliber of animals differs. I knew that going into this hunt and accepted it. I found...
