That other Rinella fella

He makes a fair point. He also looks like he chased a fart through a keg of nails.

I made a point to a friend and another about this.

Our widlife commission has a policy. And number one in that policy about what wildlife does is promote harvest of healthy food.

Number one complaint brought up in commission meetings, converstations, this and other boards....

Trophy quality.

Had a conversation the other day, and the other person said people need to stop shooting small bucks. I told him I'll shoot a small one on opening morning because I can.

We don't send off mature bulls to slaughter. We send of 1.5 to 2 year old steers.

And I think the 70 percent number he quoted is low.

We need to remove the word, and words that describe the word "trophy" from our vocabulary.

We need to focus on hunting for meat.

I like it all, i shot a forky mule deer buck on day one with my muzzle loader last year. Shot a small antelope buck as well. Thats enough meat to supplement my wife, daughter and I for over a year. We will go through that by this November or so.

I have a single tag this year for deer.

And I'm good with that.

The dude looks like he always has half a jag on.

Been there.

He's not wrong. Also I loved the "worst thing to happen to hunting since cwd".

The good Rinella. I disagree to some extent, some people will never kill an elk because elk hunting is hard. I know a guy with 3 elk tags this year and he could easily fill all of them. I also know several with 1 elk tag and chances are those won’t get filled. I get what he is saying though the influencers have crowded public land and spiked demand. He’s 100% right that it is better if you hunt quietly.

A lot of friends and co-workers always tell me they'd love to go elk hunting. I always tell them no you really wouldn't.

Wanton waste is the worst type of game offense. I can overlook a lot of crazy stuff but there is a lot of people that dont have food in this country and esp overseas.. God will not be kind to the wasters of resources.

It’s not unreasonable to go through a couple elk a year. More depending on how big the family is. I always laughed when people said they hunt to feed the family but with the price of beef maybe that is more of a reality.

The way I do it beef is still way cheaper.

Same.

Yah but it puts it in a slightly different perspective now.

Isn't that something? Richest country in the world and people still don't have food.
