"A horse has no udders and a horse cannot whinny. Tie two birds together, although they have four wings they cannot fly" Coyotebuster08

I think that maybe I posted 4 times in the last 5 years? Despite that I am an avid reader and enjoy the group that participates here. But this tristate person is something else... How does an ego that big even fit into a vehicle/house/warehouse/or even Texas? I can't imagine what it would be...

This is a letter that I submitted and was printed in the Las Vegas Review Journal last year. Needless to say it wasn't popular with the wild horse crowd. To The Editor: Many Americans are somewhat aware of the nationwide issue related to feral pigs or hogs as they are sometimes called. These...

Well, you for sure ruffled some feathers! For the first 5 years after I opened my business I never took a day off. The toll that it took on my family was something I will never forget. A few times since then, I kept going when common sense told me to quit. I kept going simply because I had...

"I see you already taught him the old, if I pretend I'm asleep she will go away trick"

NVB, That exhaust system was born with both catalytic converters and a DPF filter that squirts raw fuel into the particle filter and re-burns the ash in an attempt to reduce emissions. The problem with this system is that the DPF filter plugs up and most guys don't like idea of wasting fuel to...

NVB, STTM is correct, that 09' will need a couple grand pumped into it to be the truck that most people think they are getting when they purchase one. Good luck, CB08

We have a small patch of land in Arizona also, the land is in an an area where all of the land is private or restricted use. During the spring we would drop some of trees that didn't make it through winter and during the fall we would cut them for winter wood. We posted the land when woodcutters...

This post started out with me not wanting to post my land, I was planning to continue to allow open access despite a neighbor wanting all the owners to band together and close the area to the public. What I had hoped for was for someone that had hunted the area before to tell me if this was a...

Sorry, kind of gave up on this thread and didn't see the posts. I must not have made things clear enough, I am not looking to keep people off my land provided it is being respectfully used. In this case a neighbor is looking for support to close the entire private area off to the public. I was...

I would like to get an opinion from someone that hunts, or has hunted this area. Years ago I purchase a small hill top lot(20 acres) in Caribou Village Subdivision, a few miles south of Soda Springs. I have visited the property but have not spent any time there during hunting season. I just...

Hangfire, Pretty much what has already been described here already. Dropped the stock exhaust, cats, and DPF filter, replaced with older Dodge 5.9 aftermarket 5" exhaust and muffler.(Gotta be able to sneak up on stuff) Installed H&S Black Maxx controller with DPF delete and K&N cold air intake...

I been running a 09' Mega cab 6.7 that I bought last year with 6k miles on it. Mileage was around 14mpg with 37" tires on it so after a straight 5.9 exhaust swap and a tuner I am seeing 18mpg in the city and 21mpg on the highway running about 80mph. You won't be sorry and my lord does it have...

Thanks for sharing the video, I admit that I was touched by it. Having started hunting late in life compared to some, I never was able to experiance anything like that with my father who hunted, but never took any of his 5 sons with him. The father and son, working through difficulty to achieve...

The loss has been about 6-7 million (each year) A NR point system would not hurt the resident hunters a single bit but still they whine and complain. After all, those tags ARE allocated as NR tags right? They are not YOUR tags, they are OUR tags! NR hunters stopped hunting Idaho in big numbers...

There is also a huge understatement of the loss being disclosed here. To date there are; 4,752 Elk tags left = $1,997,066.00 6,126 Deer tags left = $1,848,520.00 1,500 WT deer tags left = $452,625.00 For a whopping total of $4,298,211.00 Which does not include several thousand hunting licenses...

One of the problems that game agencies have is that the ability to make "on the spot" changes to tags does not exist. By the time that they have public hearings, studies, and reports it is usually too late to deal with whatever issue raised concerns. Recently, Nevada did something interesting...

Obviously, killing does seems to make little sense given the tough conditions related to weather, predators, and habitat. What is not quite as clear is what impact license and tag fees(revenue)or lack thereof, directly have on increasing deer/elk numbers. I don't think that the 10 million or so...

Excavator, If it is warm than Disaster Peak is a good choice. Twice we have started heading up there and saw shootable deer before we got near the top. There is a road near the state line that meanders up there so entry from Oregon makes sense. I wouldn't worry too much about other hunters, we...

Excavator, I have been on that hunt a few times, if I were to hunt it again I would have 2 seperate hunts planned before I went. Plan #1 would be for bad weather on the mountains, North of the unit. In that case I would hunt the foothills above the ranches. There are some good bucks that will...

I think it has more to do with season length. Now, deer season starts in August and runs until late October without many breaks. A later start would shorten seasons or eliminate hunts. Elk have a few season breaks but bulls and cows are pressed during the entire season mostly. The price you pay...

In the beginning he held out, probably by thinking of baseball stats. Then when "the" picture surfaced he attemped to get a grip on things before a much larger mess could be made. Now that his business is splattered all over the news he remains rigidly opposed to his unwanted release...

Bakerb, Advertise in the local paper, on the net, etc. Someone will be making that trip and would love to share gas expense I am sure. Lots of good folks in Ely. Also, you could fly him to SLC or Vegas from Ely. Small airport there. CB08

+1 on the tag increase, I don't see how the department can keep people in the field if they run 6-7 million short on tag revenue again. There is still some room between Idaho and other state's fees. CB08

In many cases NR hunters are their own worst enemy, most of us have a very good idea of the draw odds of every hunt we put in for, and then complain bitterly when we don't draw. The rest never check the odds at all, and then complain bitterly when they don't draw. I have applied in Idaho for...

A little more food for thought..... Idaho is one of the few states (Only?) that offers a second deer tag that residents and NR can buy. I have no way to know how many of the residents bought second deer tags at the increased NR price after the August deadline, but for each resident that did, it...

BPK, I am the hated NR hunter that uses Idaho as a last resort. I have had many memorable hunts there and God willing, expect to have many more. Each year I receive the mailings from IDFG in the spring and throughout the fall soliciting my participation in Idaho hunting, usually 3 mailings and a...

COSA, Sorry, the numbers I used came from the meeting video (107,000 deer 2011) and the 2010 online harvest report (3525 bucks killed hunt 1331, 2010, 39%). Also I referanced only hunt 1331 as this seemed to be the "targeted group" The total bucks were the estimated bucks used in the NDOW model...

NVB, Thanks for the links, very entertaining. Do you think people reacted the same way when they were told the world was not flat? The biologists and a few Commissioners kept trying to explain it but the rest just couldn't understand the math. Here is what I took away from it; 2011 Proposed...

NVB, Feel free to do so...... OK, I went back to the meeting minutes and tabulated which Commissioners were "active" in the meeting. I judged them active when they did more than simply vote, call to order, or second on agenda items. Here is what I found through the 32 agenda items; Commissioner...

Bearman +1 on most of what you say. For the first time I actually read the entire meeting minutes for the February Commision meeting. What it reveals is a mish-mash of rancher speak under a thin disguise of wildlife conservation. I actually wanted to make a list of how many times Mcbeath and his...

I don't post often but this is the same arrogance that is on display in our nations capital every day. People get a little power over others and assume that it came with some superior intellectual gift that "common" people don't have, so they need to protect us from ourselves. Getting pretty...

46 is a pretty tough unit. In 4 years of hunting it, and then moving on, I have seen a single potential 180" buck and a few forkies. Still, like some others, I gotta think that there are more large deer in there and I'm just not looking in the right spots. The unit should hold more deer than it...

It seems that maybe we are forgetting that thousands of OTC deer and elk tags went un-purchased last year. If my memory serves over 7,000 deer and 3,000 elk tags went unsold to non-residents and residents willing to pay the NR fees. Unless this year is different than last year, and it probably...

Well, I got young stupid and old stupid, First, as an eight year old I used a lighter to check the fuel level in a Coleman lantern. Yep, there was some fuel left in there! Later in life I jumped up on the ice crusted trailer tongue to get something out of the truck and slid off,straddling the...

I ran 6 sets of KM2's on my Ram 3500 and changed them at about 40K miles each time. Still had tread on them but after 40K they softened up a bit and rock would chew holes in them. The truck I just bought has Toyo's now but will be getting KM's when it's due. Jim

I came up with about the same amount. As always, the quality of the product, and consumer demand determine sales of any product. In this case, I suspect problems with both contribute to the decline. Either way, I love Idaho and look forward to returning in a couple of weeks for our annual deer...

Corey, Thanks for the information, I appreciate people spending their time and effort to promote their position in a logical way. Keep up the good work. I also noticed that you are attempting to inform folks without attacking those that might oppose your point of view. Sportsmen could use more...

Plateau #842. It looks like a busy rifle unit from what I can see. CB08

LAST EDITED ON May-10-10 AT 10:24AM (MST)[p]In my case the investigation lasted a couple of years, when they got arrested I was notified, and when they were convicted I was again notified they had been, and was informed that I was eligable for the tag. The CO on the case kept me informed during...
