How about an Eastern US hunting issue?
Yeah, Nebraska is insane, but we have crumbling roads and failing schools to show for our high taxes. So we have that going for us.- Stocker

How about an Eastern US hunting issue?
Yep, and it’s worse out west where it’s irrigated. It costs me way more to hunt property I own in Nebraska than it does for me to hunt elk in a state I’m a non resident in- Stocker

How about an Eastern US hunting issue?
The eastern hunting thing is getting wild, and only gonna get worse. I consider myself eastern yet. It’s broken into 2 factions and I’m in the middle. Most farmers are pushed by insane property taxes ($100+ an acre) to farm every square inch they can, the amount of timber lost in my area over...- Stocker

Outfitting on Public lands
If you ban them it’ll just make an underground guide service, probably opened up to much more shady stuff. Honestly the handful of times I’ve ran into outfitters on public I haven’t had a bad experience. They weren’t hostile in any way, actually one guy told me that my OnX map was wrong and what...- Stocker

Bowhunters - not a big impact?
I honestly think hunting all around is getting worse for animals based on numbers. People getting into hunting that don’t have any idea what it takes to be successful. Too many guys go buy a new bow, all the crap, and shoot the range a little and expect to make a shot hunting. I tell everyone I...- Stocker

Afraid of the dark??
I’m not “scared” of the dark. 99% of the time I’m totally fine. But just like @rtraverdavis said, I’ve heard things or seen things that have stopped me in my tracks. Then all of the sudden my imagination runs wild. I get up every morning at 3:45-4 and run in the dark, no headlamp on backroads...- Stocker

How far do you stay upwind of elk?
This is big in certain areas, mixed with topography. In my neck of the woods deer hunting I try to find places on a low pressure day with swirling winds my scent will almost go straight up, the flip side of that is I think there’s places that scent eventually goes down and my theory is that’s... -

Rut hunt CO
I have one rigged up on my boot so every step I take I’m calling. -
Rut hunt CO
Knowing when to call and when not to is as important if not more than sounding perfect. -
Deer - lets see em
Yep, she actually just had her scan last Thursday and the MRI showed that the tumor is stable so that’s great news. -

Do Not Pass On First Day What You Would Be Happy To Shoot On The Last: A Refutation
I think it depends on what kind of hunter you are or what you want out of a hunt. The older I get the more I’m fine with tag soup if I hunt the way I want to. If I pass one up and eat tag soup I’m ok with it.- Stocker
