    WY GEN Elk Tag is Virtually a Once in a Lifetime Tag---Change my Mind

    That's what I was trying to say. Every state (that I have dug into anyways) exploded, but CO most of all in that timeframe. Will be interesting to see how current market conditions the next 2+ years affect all this.

    WY GEN Elk Tag is Virtually a Once in a Lifetime Tag---Change my Mind

    While I agree that the trend is definite and obvious, it's also worth noting that in that timespan CO changed from requiring everyone to from the cash for an app to only charging after you drew... so a giant external factor affecting those numbers.

    Whisky has no e, for peat's sake!

    Bourbon fan here, my wife loves scotch a tad more than bourbon. The free state of Idaho however, is a virtual hell for finding good stuff as it is all run by the state. Our "collection typically includes 101 and Rare breed, OF 1920, OF Rye, Buffalo, Eagle Rare, Abelour 16, Monkey shoulder...

    Breaking Game Laws THEN Uploading It To YouTube?

    Sounds like every other workplace I've been at. There's multiple checks and balances in place, and the one time something goes wrong is when way out of normal situations conspire to eliminate/delay certain checks/balances. I actually met Marcus while volunteering at the Boise Rendezvous, which...

    Breaking Game Laws THEN Uploading It To YouTube?

    Watched the latest video on the mule deer hunt in ID... Lighted nocks have been a illegal method of take in Idaho for quite a while. Curious choice to upload footage like that after the fact. Hopefully there is something else going on that is explained in the next video. Would hate for this...

    Preferred .300 Mag Elk Loads You Use?

    215 Bergers. Moving around 2900-2950 out the muzzle. Most accurate round, in an easy to shoot rifle. I've worked my way towards a "One" rifle to do all my hunting with. I think this is it.

    Not letting people go fishing!

    Where I'm at in SW ID they're still allowing fishing, access and a bunch of ramps have just been tightened up. Doubtful that the lake by the house will open up. Have heard of plenty still fishing out at CJ though.

    What is the Little ole Granny Law?

    Well played sir. Its a final project type deal for an english GE requirement. No numbers, no right and wrong, waaayy outside my baliwick. But luckily it should be one of the few papers with this kind of research required. I'm much more at home with math, accounting, or physics, things that are...

    What is the Little ole Granny Law?

    Trying to find this for a paper I'm working on, but hard to find a law when you only know the implications not the name. Anyone know the law that lets enviro groups recoup legal fees if they beat the federal gov in court? Several groups with herds of lawyers based on just this law, but looking...

    Mule deer scouting on Google Earth.

    This. Read. Digest. Practice. Read again. I'm on reading number 3 or 4 of both this article and Robby's book as well. Some of the best info that is not specific to one habitat I've found. https://www.gohunt.com/read/skills/how-to-find-big-mule-deer-areas-using-google-earth

    CO Unit 181 2nd Rifle Season

    Pretty much echo here what has already been said. Our group has stayed in some cabins in Kremmling for years during 3rd rifle. Can't remember the name but they're owned by a guy who also runs the RV park outside of town. "A Friend" told me there's really good fishing right out the back on...

    California Draw

    Drew a fairly easy to draw archery X zone tag. Wife and FIL blanked on rifle tag for same zone so we will all be chasing wilderness blacktails.

    WY lope tags, who got em?

    I had put the wife and myself in for 2 doe tags apiece. Unit 73 then 20. What are the odds she draws both tags in 3 and I get both tags in 20? Time to start figuring out the leftover tag situation. Good luck to those who drew Mike

    YouTube - Water Filtration Basics; How We Do It

    I use the platypus gravity system as well. Does a good job for camp type work. I baby the crap out of the filter unit though, as no matter what I do, it seems I am always able to get some water out of the filter. So it almost always stays in my sleeping bag at night or an ice chest. My main...

    Buy once, cry once. Kifaru vs. Stone Glacier

    I have the exact Kifaru setup you are considering. I also added a strap kit for horizontal compression and a grab it (think that's the name, its like a big diaper). It will compress down to basically flattened frame size, just depends on where you put your stuff. I regularly put my spotter in...

    Big Fin - How about an episode on the Plains Indian History

    I too would love to hear a podcast on something of this ilk. I grew up minutes from where Ishi walked out into the white man's civilization, and learned to fish and hunt in the same streams and mountains as his tribe. Pretty cool finding arrowheads every spring from stones that geologists say...

    Idaho Deer and Elk Draw Odds... How low will you go?

    That does change things a bit. In that case I would wholeheartedly recommend anterless hunts. As a new hunter your biggest need is experience. You need to get animals on the ground. Hard to duplicate the experience you gain from taking care of your first few animals. As for which antlerless...
