    ‘24 app specific questions Mule Deer rut hunt units

    I am burning some points next year. I have some specific questions about areas in the low-one-hundreds that I can draw. I’m just trying to sus-out which units make the most sense based on access and ‘23 winter kill. I’m assuming a PM conversation makes the most sense. Thanks in advance.

    I’m not saying this was the ONLY reason…

    But I’m sure it helped my approach!😂😂 And given my success rate on bulls, I’ll take every chance I get. I did have feelings about it though.

    CDS promo code?

    I tried searching but didn’t find anything. I could swear I saw a promo code for CDS dials recently. If anyone has any info I’d appreciate it.

    CA long range trip report if you’re interested…

    I’ve spoken to a couple people on here over the years who are part of the CA fishing scene. I thought maybe some would be interested in a trip report. Ok, you got me, it’s a shameless plug to show off fish pictures….ha! Just got home from an 8-day on the Intrepid. As spring 8-day trips go...

    Rangefinder recommendations

    Hello, I’m need to get a new rangefinder. I have the Sig Kilo now (I purchased it probably 6-7 years ago). The Sig will barely range an animal at 350…if there are no bushes, no snow, its on a rest, my heart isn’t beating, I’m holding my breath, and saying a quick prayer. Ha! I’m really kind...

    2nd fuel tank sat empty…next steps?

    Hello, My son just bought a ‘94 f-250. It’s a really clean truck, and runs well. $175k miles. 7.5L gas motor. My question is in regards to the fuel tanks. The previous owner said he hasn’t used the rear tank for “a few years”. It is empty- I assume for years also. What are my concerns in...

    This can help your cold butts

    I just finished a Whitetail hunt in WY. It was very snowy and very cold. We hunt them like Elk or Mulies - lots of glassing. Don’t know if that’s the best approach, I’m only a couple years into Whitetail - but that’s not germane to this discussion of cold butts. We did use, for the first time...

    2nd season grind with a perfect ending.

    My son and I wrapped up our hunt Sunday morning. I’m feeling particularly blessed right now. This is the first time in a few years that I’ve felt healthy and strong (the “Big C” took me down a rough road since 2019), and this was the demanding hunt I’ve really been needing to feel whole again...

    Family antelope hunt

    My son and I drew very unexpected WY antelope tags this year. I’ve hunted antelope a few times, but am far from an expert. They tend to be very enjoyable, relaxed hunts. The only thing that I don’t like is the “road hunting” component of many antelope hunts. Nothing wrong with it, just not my...

    Incredible elk experience

    I’m not an archery hunter, (or much good at elk hunting in general,ha) so I don’t spend much time really getting after rutting elk. This week, however, I’m tagging along with a buddy hunting archery. Holy cow! We spent yesterday morning in the midst of screaming, thrashing, rutting bulls...

    Phone Scam this afternoon- interesting

    We just had a doozy of a phone scam attempt. Said my wife missed a court date and had a warrant. Guy called both me and my wife multiple times. He had enough info to plant a seed of doubt: *her occupation * her expert witness status *both our numbers *our home address *a name and rank (of a...

    Mulie fawn development questions

    So I posted about fawns with diarrhea last spring and I have a a continuing question: One of the twins from the “diarrhea question” is still around - we assume his sibling passed. He still has a patchy, scruffy long coat, and is pretty small. Additionally, there is a set of triplets from last...

    Mystery Ranch Metcalf

    MR Metcalf 2019 model. I have a 38” waist and it fits me- sorry can’t remember what size MR calls that. It is in very good shape. Some slight blood stains on the bottom of the bag. No tears or rips. I added that orange mesh by slipping it over the buckles, so it can be taken off. I added...

    Finally!!! A pack fits.

    I have weird hip bones and scoliosis. I’m built like a square, not some athletic superstar. I’ve suffered through a few packs that all work okay, bust just okay. Everything slips off my hips and bear down on my hip joints. On heavy pack outs it’s gets really painful. I just got a Kifaru, and...

    School me on welders

    My son did some welding in his shop class this year, and now he wants a welder. I wouldn’t mind having one either, ha! It would just be for light vehicle / garage / home projects. Would a 110, gassless, wire-fed system work for us? What can this setup not do? What’s a typical price point...

    Los Angeles wolf journey

    I ran across this article about an Oregon wolf that made it as far south as Ventura, CA. Pretty impressive. It’s kind of heavy in the anthropomorphism, as you could expect from the New Yorker, but still cool to think about. I’m not making a statement about the “wolf issue” - that’s another...

    Whatever you do, get out of your truck as little as possible. That end justifies all means.

    It’s 8:15. I’m back from my morning elk hunt. I gotta admit I kinda lost my cool this morning…my poor wife and son had to listen to my overly emotional rant decrying the slob-Hunter culture. Ha! Three years back we moved here to what some would say is the hunting capital of CO. Today was the...
