    The shootings just won't stop

    Our country does not have strict gun laws by any definition. Make the weapons capable of these atrocities illegal for untrained civilians to own. We're never going to be a great country until human lives are valued by law, and "well regulated" is the chant of 2A advocates.

    Wyoming Reduced Price Applications (applying for 2 tags)

    Yep for sure. In this case I already drew a cow tag, so any other overlapping tags are a bonus.

    Wyoming Reduced Price Applications (applying for 2 tags)

    I'm having trouble finding an answer to this question. When applying for reduced price deer or antelope tags in Wyoming, you can apply for two tags. Are these treated as separate applications, where you might draw zero, one, or two tags(two separate chances), or are they one application, and...

    ODFW Seeking Hunter Comments on Deer/Elk Season Structure

    Have you seen published numbers on the rocky mountain herd declining? Only the last 4 years are easily available, and they look relatively flat. Another report from 2006 looks to have lower population numbers for most units, but generally the same bull/cow ratios. Are you looking at something...

    ODFW Seeking Hunter Comments on Deer/Elk Season Structure

    I think there's more to it than just "shooting a dink". I value being able to hunt elk every year, more than I value big/mature elk being on the mountain, assuming the overall elk population is stable, and hunting is sustainable. It's important to me that I have a way to take new folks hunting...

    Leupold Vx-5HD 3-15x44 on a Tikka T3x.

    They're just he Leupold Dovetail low rings and bases. If i were to do it again, I'd get the game reaper one piece mount. I picked up a t3x in .223, and put my old 3-9 scope with a game reaper mount, and found it much simpler to install. Granted I'm not sure how the game reaper mount does with...

    Trimming nails

    I have a lab, and I've found using a dremel to make a huge difference in my experience trimming nails. I've gotten into the quick once with the dremel, but because it's taking off so little at a time, it's not nearly what clippers will do if you're not super careful. Using the dremel also leaves...

    BLM land gated/posted No Trespassing, what to do?

    This was kind of a fun one to poke around at online. It looks like Utah makes a lot of their documentation around mine claims public. Documentation for the hub development company, seemingly mostly miller rock mine going back to 1989...

    Leupold Vx-5HD 3-15x44 on a Tikka T3x.

    Yeah, definitely as low as I'd want to go. For me to be comfortable and really be able to settle in, I need the little extra comb height from the stock pack. I've considered replacing the stock to get a slightly higher comb where I don't feel like I need to run the stock pack, but the rifle...

    Leupold Vx-5HD 3-15x44 on a Tikka T3x.

    I have that exact setup, a tikka t3x lite stainless in 30-06 and just upgraded to the vx5hd 3-15x44 last summer. I upgraded from a vx1 3-9, and couldn't be happier (a bigger upgrade than you're considering). They're the regular leupold bases and dovetail lows, and feel like I have plenty of...

    Oregon deer

    I don't have a ton of first hand hunting advice to give, but it's worth noting Owyhee and Lookout Mtn may be tough draws with 6 points in the non resident pool (https://sites.google.com/site/oregontags/100-series---2021-buck-deer). I've not deer hunted those units personally, but just for the...

    Hello, from Alpacka Raft.

    @AlpackaRaft Any chance Randy's promo code will be renewed/extended for 2021? I'm about ready to pull the trigger on a Forager, hopefully in time for some late spring/summer trips, but it looks like it's expired.

    Award for Worst Game Reg in the US

    In my experience, the Oregon cell phone reporting and license/tagging is wonderful. Granted, my profession is in tech, so I'm more comfortable with it than most. I've had no more wondering if I have my tag, I always have my cell phone with me. You can tag animals when out of service, get a...

    To signup for GoHunt or not? Please share your thoughts.

    I'm unsure if there are resources for other states like this, but for Oregon, there's a great site(free, but certainly worth a donation) that gets updated every year with pretty accessible and relatively accurate draw odds/predictions for the coming year. I have gohunt for my out of state...
