He says he is a novice hunter, how someone could be a novice after 21 years is beyond my grasp. Therein lies the problem with point systems, people fall in love with the points and think that by spending 21 or more points they will have a great hunt, when what they should be doing is just going...

I’m guessing you mean EHD, CWD doesn’t wipe out whole herds like that

I won’t miss spot and stalk spring bear, I do it every spring, it’s a wonderful time to be in the mountains and watch the plants and animals come back to life after a long winter. And if I get a bear it is good meat

I once shot a bedded buck from about 40 yds right in the forehead, he never got out of his bed, I walked up and was getting my knife and tag out but that thing would not stop kicking, after about 5 minutes I realized he was still breathing, then I noticed the bullet had just cut a notch in the...

Both of these are beyond ridiculous and the legislature needs to stick to screwing up education, taxes and infrastructure rather than trying to delve into wildlife management

Or guilty of murder for shooting a deer, which is why hunters need to be paying attention to things like this

Gotta love the “new hunters always draw” conspiracy, this is the first time I’ve read/heard it expressed in this particular form though so 👍 for making me laugh for a second

Your season sounds about like mine thus far, lots of hunts that should be slam dunks and haven’t been, unfortunately I’m out of new opportunities this year.

I much prefer firehouse subs personally

Got any spots next year?
