My son burned max points to get the tag this year. I had it in 2019. We were there for the last five days, with him filling his tag yesterday. Not sure if you have hunted or scouted this area before. It's a pretty easy area to figure out with a little research. And yeah, it was crowded as hell...

Water and navigable streams are usually covered clearly in state Constitutions or state statute. Water has been "worth fightin' over" for centuries, so it is far more defined and clarified than airspace. Water and airspace, as much as we might want to make parallels, have almost no parallel in...

I've written many posts on my site about this topic. I've brought it up on many podcasts. I've stated these points in many interviews. Since this seems to now be about me and my positions, I'll reiterate what I've said many times, in many places, long before this case came about. Corner...

Treed, I sent you a PM. Yes, we did film a bighorn hunt in that unit in 2017. Happy to share what I learned from that trip. Congrats and good luck. "Hunt when you can - You're gonna' run out of health before you run out of money!"

Being a tax guy, it's easy for me to talk to one. As for going to Tax Court, by the time you end up in Tax Court, you've spent way more in attorney and CPA fees than what you are gong to save in taxes, even if you do prevail; something very unlikely when claiming an auction tag as a charitable...

As a CPA, the best advice I can give is that the information provided in many of these posts is worth what you pay for it, nothing. Listen to what your CPA is telling you. He/she understands the tax law, the Regs, and the court cases, all of which create complications related to the valuation...

Congrats. That buck is built for score. Great character, also. "Hunt when you can - You're gonna' run out of health before you run out of money!"

LAST EDITED ON Jul-30-17 AT 03:29PM (MST)[p]Dang, I don't drop in here as often as I used to. This is some interesting stuff here. Didn't know my Utah archery deer hunt, where I screwed up and didn't fill a tag, could bring forth such humor. Upstart, you might want to read the first post I...

Was great to see how many people with so many different public land uses show up. The ALC teat suckers were nowhere to be found, and given cockroaches operate in dark corners, their absence was expected. This young gal sends me her hunting pictures and she is serious about hunting and public...

I've not look at the Colorado maps, but I have looked at some from other states, including places where I/family/friends hunt. A lot of Idaho deer and Chuckar get shot on these big blocks of land listed on the Jarbidge map. These are big chunks of very accessible land with public roads through...

One of the hurdles to Zinke's confirmation will be the Utah delegation. Bishop, Lee, et al, who have been big proponents of selling/transferring/disposing public lands, are not fans of Zinke. Since many of you are from Utah, you can have some say in how difficult Zinke's confirmation will be...
