https://www.outdoorlife.com/opinion/killing-cricket/ Get a dog, fail to train it, be an irresponsible pet owner, shoot dog, then act like you are 'being country' by killing the animal. Outdoor Life writer says hold my beer Kristi. I understand there are times dogs need to be euthanized but...

I agree 100% it is a dumb law - 0% chance it will be taken up by the US Supreme Court. I speed from time to time and know if I get caught, I will have to pay a fine - this law is generally the same deal. I have never violated it and likely never will but to those that do not a big deal. Great...

The State of Utah has some smart people that made the decision to let NR apply for all species. Make a lot more money and issue no more tags - zero chance they are going to change this money maker. I buy points for all species, and it is possible I will never draw another Utah tag. It did not...

I have had some good ones. Buried three and have a four-year-old now. At 53 I hope to have two more.

I swung for the fence on all species because I already have a full plate this fall hunting wise. I think my best draw odds are 1% for elk and lower than 1% with all other species - 15 points for most species too. If I were draw it would be a good one but very unlikely.

There are so few non-resident tags for these species none of this really matters. You are kidding yourself if you think you are going to draw one of these tags except for a minuscule fraction of nonresidents with the most points. Even if they go to bonus points or even some multiplier it is a...

I saw NM Paul drew Unit 34 he is going to be asking for everyone's sweet spots. I drove through a couple months ago so I will help him out.

Just found out I am going back to the Valle Vidal for my fifth hunt (I have never had the tag) to help a friend on the muzzleloader hunt. WHEN I finally draw it, I will be dialed in :). Two weeks in the Gila with my tag and one week in the Valle Vidal - more than I could have hoped for. I just...

Two weeks in the Gila with bow in hand.

In hindsight I think I would do a Euro, but that ship sailed. Thanks for all the input.

Good work!

My taxidermist is asking how I want my moose mounted form/position? I know I want it looking straight on but not sure about other head positioning. Anyone have a picture or form they think is a good idea? I have no idea where I am hanging it but someday, I hope to have it over a large stone...
