    study done on Isle Royale National Park after NPS and MDNR transplant wolves

    Eradicate all the moose. Deer, wolves, whatever can migrate there and back across the ice if they so choose.

    FINALLY. Day 13 of bow season and I’m in the blind. Bird gobbling his head off from the roost. He pitched down into a private field, but was drawn back towards me by a clucking hen. Hen at about 40, tom at 60. Didn’t see them through the thick brush. I’ll try calling again around 9 AM hoping...

    Non resident hunting advice

    Well, heck. Nice to see everyone out having a good time! Too much going on in my life: Normal busy spring yard work. I couldn’t get what I needed to start taxes until 3 days to the deadline, and then I had to go back and amend 4 past returns b/c I discovered that I screwed those up. 3/29...

    The Great HT 2026 weigh in.

    Weight inching up in the 160’s but averaging about 6 good workouts per week. Feeling great, diet slightly more relaxed, still eating very clean overall.

    Seriously - Thank You rich boys for this new Idaho law.

    They should pass another law to boot out all the NR influencers who bought in. Maybe we could get a roster of the purchasers through FOIA? On a related note, the popularity of western big game hunting is and has been spawning a rolling list of ways to creatively game the system to nab a tag.

    Forest Service Reorg - Progress or Politics

    Lee is completely aware that the legislature’s job is to craft legislation and fund it in order to equip the White House to responsibly manage our country. However, if his voters are foolish enough to vote Lee into Office, he takes it as carte blanche permission to advance his mission of...

    Got an hour scouting hike in on 4/1. No birds, no sign. I did find a promising fishing or wood duck spot - mouth of a deep slack water channel off the main waterway. I also jumped a buck still sporting his antlers.
