    Does Buck Harvest harm herd recovery? Studies?

    I am struggling to find good clear data and studies on this issue. I know it is generally accepted that male harvest is not a limiting factor on herds and on herd recovery as long as the male to female ratio is high enough for the females to be bred. Does anyone have good studies on this topic...

    One Shot Articles… This “Hunt” needs to end

    This is a an issue that is getting more and more attention. I hope all look at the hunt and realize that we should end using our wildlife for political favor and leverage. That the tags should be returned to the general public. I am always willing to answer more based on what I know…...

    Some fat slimers and a perch…

    Wish I did a few more pics today. We hit the hard water for the first time today. It was damn cold, when we woke up it was -12. Drive out we reached -21. We stalled a bit and then eventually got on the ice at 11:00am and a temp of -4. We ran a handful of tip ups and a jigging pole each…

The idea is to get kids to tell and share stories in person in front of peers and to highlight their success or lack there of during hunting season. I have not been able to attend the contest...

    Will buck look bigger just before shedding?

    So this last week we have been hitting the elk hunt hard for a cow. But in the process, we saw a lot Of really good looking bucks. Extra tall and high to the cutters. My question is this, will the buck gain much score as the horns under it grow?
