Fish with a friend who is very good, but he couldn't help with this other than maybe to slow and to hard on setting the hook. We were float and wade fishing. Using a size 18...- Bob-WY

I've been hunting in a wintering area, not really glass able, so you have to still hunt it. Snowed Thanksgiving and last Monday the elk where there. I tracked 3 down but they were bulls. Tracks, beds and droppings everywhere and fresh monday. Been dead since, very few to no human tracks... -

How to work a lazy bull
New one for me today (yes I am fairly new at this) Working a ridge line trying to sound like a lost calf, occasionally toss out a locator bugle. Finally an answer, well sort of. Like a half hearted bugle, about 2 seconds, then 1 to 2 weak chuckles. I moved in closer, hard to tell how far he... -

Question on handgun pickup
Ordered a handgun to be picked up in store. Says "government ID with picture and current address" Just remembered, when we bought a house 3 years ago we did not update our drivers license, it does not have current address. Am I SOL on this or can I show something else? -

What is it and how do i get rid of it?
Live in north central WY, this stuff has invaded our dirt, also known as dead lawn. Last fall we pulled it all but it's back. It spreads and pretty sure mowing it down will spread it more. How do I kill it? If needed I don't mind killing what little grass we have. Also it doesn't seem to go...- Bob-WY

handgun/safety?? Am I overthinking this?
Thanks to all the previous help on this site for picking my first handgun. We have narrowed down to a few and will be visiting a range to actually shoot some. One thing that suprised me however is the lack of an external safety. Maybe I am over thinking, and I understand the internal safety... -

Why do people do this when they camp?
I get it, you can camp anywhere on BLM etc. But if you are here to hunt and camp, GREAT, more power to you, but why drive all the way through the BLM/public then camp, then hunt and complain you don't see much, driving in/out just chases things off! Sorry for the vent, this is an easy to draw... -

front sling mount - does it move?
Yesterday wife and I noticed her rifle, in the bipod, is "twisted", it's like the gun is leaning left. Her bipod does NOT swivel. In playing around I noticed the sling mount is turned slightly, so the if you stand the gun on the butt, one side of the mount, the hole is lower than the other, as... -
