Unique Western Film - "Dead Man"
Anyone seen it? It's a Jarmusch film, starring a young Johnny Depp. I've been meaning to watch it for a while and did last night. This isn't one to watch for a typical Western plot structure, though it does have a fairly linear plot that is more or less understandable throughout. The real...- RobertD

GA Deer Season 2022
Season's already in full swing, but I figured I might as well get a little hunt journal going. Rut is wide open here in my home county. Later in the season I'll move west and follow it as it peaks in some different counties. We get two buck tags and ten (yes, ten) doe tags each year here... -
Way Down Yonder on the Chattahoochee
For my friends on HuntTalk, a handful of photos from my "bachelor party." My brother, my best buddy since grade school, another close friend and good hunting buddy, and my little sister's boyfriend all planned the trip without telling me what we were doing or where we were going. First, for...- RobertD

Work from Home - How's it Work?
I work from home 90% of the time now. I like it but it is an adjustment, as I've done some work from home before but never for whole days at a time or multiple days in a row. I know some of you work from home. What habits or actions do you use to help yourself be as productive as possible...- RobertD

I’ve been thinking this morning about blown stalks, and a trip I took which featured several, most of them performed by me. This was on a mule deer hunt in canyon country in the snow. Late archery season in New Mexico. My brother was also on this trip, and he had some opportunities of his own... -

School me on black bear skinning cuts
Bear guys, when you kill a black bear and want to tan it what do you do? Tube or rug? Something else? Here at home I skin deer different ways based on my goal for the animal and the fact that I can usually get the deer somewhere hanging to skin/butcher him. At work (taxidermy) I've skinned...- RobertD

Found some baby flying squirrels...
Power company came and took out two beetle-killed pines in my front yard this morning. My fiancée was given a box of baby flying squirrels by the power folks. Apparently they were nested in one of the dead pines. She texted me at work to let me know that she felt obligated to rescue the little...- RobertD

Extra "Horns"
The only pronghorn I've ever killed has a "horn" or keratinous bump the size of a Tic Tac on the bridge of his nose. I thought it was just a one-off until I saw another hunter on here that killed one with a decent sized bump on his as well. Working on a client's Wyoming buck at work, I found... -
What are the deer/elk up to in your area?
Okay, summer is here, draw season is winding down and we're somewhere in the big middle of the non-hunting portion of the year. I thought it would be interesting to get a thread going to see what the deer, elk and antelope are doing in everyone's general area to learn more about the animals and...- RobertD

Badgers
Badgers are cool animals. I have never seen one in the wild, only on video or in photos, etc. I would like to though. I'm wondering who here has experience with badgers, as I'd like to know more about any of you who hunt or trap or just enjoy looking at them. Anyone hunt or trap these angry...- RobertD

2019 NM Pronghorn Story
This forum needs some new content. I know the offseason gets flooded with politics and what-unit-should-I-apply-for-I-have-zero-points type posts, so I'm hoping maybe a decent hunting story will be well-received right now. If nothing else, it will help all of us pronghorn junkies waiting for the... -
Denver area weekend, what do?
This has been asked before but I want to stir the topic around some more. Will be flying into Denver for a long weekend in late May. I've been to CO a few times but only the southern end of the state. I'm sure there's plenty to see and do, and if I draw a tag I'll spend one day driving to and...- RobertD
