Question is....... would you take him founder? I bet NOT!

I'm scheduled for the vaccine tomorrow! I have a neighbor that says he refuses to take the vaccine! That's his choice but I can't help wonder how he'd feel if he gets the virus and kills a loved one when its possibly preventable? My daughter is a nurse and it angers me that she is put in the...

Just wondering how many sportsmen are concerned about the threats going on? With all the military personnel being activated for protection purposes even if there is no violence, won't this serve as fuel to fight against gun owners? This post is not meant to anger anyone, just a cool headed...

You have a great philosophy about hunting success Aaron! I like it and wish everyone felt the same way! I haven't shot a buck since '08 and I don't care if I never kill another one, but I am going hunting this week! I'll still be trying my best to find a giant but I'm quite sure that won't...

I had a very well trained .220 swift! Haven't shot that rifle since '86 I believe! i hunted with 2 different friends at the time but we only hunted 2 at a time! The friend in the picture shot a .22-250, my other friend shot a .243! We began shooting those dogs right after sundown one night...

Just getting ready to take these to market!

This is how we controlled predators in the 70's and 80's! This is a picture of 21 coyotes my friend and I shot in 1 night! Someone called the police and they arrived while we took this picture! People thought we'd killed domestic dogs! About $1200 worth of hides here! We thought we were...

Good for You! Way to go!

Congratulations! Good for you!

Yes.... it was common for checking stations back then! Always one at the mouth of Daniels canyon! Santa Clara was a major check point mainly for Californians! Remember on Sunday mornings after the opening day the Salt Lake Tribune always had front page pictures and articles about the success...

No..... I did not get a bull, in fact we never seen an elk! My friend and I were very young! We had NO idea how to hunt elk.... We camped on skyline drive above Fairview, our hunting vehicle was an old Rambler sedan! lol We got around in it fine though! The game warden ( Blacky something)...

Gosh... I'm glad to hear some of you are old as I am! Well, maybe not as old but ballpark! I've never been on a hunt i didn't enjoy in some way! Back in about 79' or maybe early 80's 2 of my friends and I packed in 26 miles in the River of No Return Wilderness to hunt elk! Rolled one of the...

I think You're right!

Aaron........ Most people remember times as much better before than they are now! My son can't understand why the group I hunted with didn't kill all kinds of giant bucks! I remember a lot of years when I was a kid and some years when I was a young man when finding any buck was very...

My father and grandfather hunted Skyline drive and Starvation canyon back in the early and mid-fifties! I remember grandpa had a 53 studebaker, we'd go up the canyons a couple miles and hunt the oak brush! It was a ton of fun for me as a kid! They usually killed a few does and yearling bucks!

Well Bookhead..... it didn't take you long to inform us what's happened over the years! However, many hunters would argue Colorado and Wyoming are still pretty good states for deer! Colorado offered over the counter deer and elk tags at least into the 90's, they've always offered multiple...

You're still visualizing it as it is today Bookhead! Yes..... there was much more opportunity then, but what is opportunity if you can't get to where the game is? Not to say there weren't a good number of deer killed on extended hunts, I don't know that! But I do know most hunters didn't have...

Wyoming hunters hate non-resident hunters, but in todays sport they have no idea what a non-resident competition is! In the 50's thru at least the 70's Utah and I'm quite sure Colorado were invaded by unlimited non-residents including thousands of California hunters. Jokes and stories about...

That's right..... Deerhunter53 I was standing in the crowd in the DWR building in 1964 when my name was called for a bull elk permit for the Manti unit! During the 50's and early 60's many deer units including Manti and Mt Dutton opened a week earlier than general season, some offered...

Great pic! Slamdunk Possibly Gordon Creek? Bloodtracker remarks about 1000yd "Dirt Nap" that's a cool quote! I watched a guy shoot at a buck last year I'm guessing 1200yds! I couldn't believe it! I believe he did in fact hit the deer (as we watched him and his partners) look for it...

Let's talk about the "Good Old Days" It'll be fun and educational for a lot of younger hunters! I'm old enough to have been around and a tag along in the mid 50's and began carrying a rifle in the early 60's! I can share the experience I've had and I'm sure others can weigh in as well. I have...

Lots of good points on this subject! I thought there were too many hunters in G back in 2005 and haven't hunted there since! Packed into hunters rather than away from them! Founder along with many of you are all correct.... Better equipment, more time to spend, better educated about big buck...

This president claims to know more than doctors, scientists, generals and everybody else about any particular subject! If he's so d**n smart with all the protection offered to him how could he get infected? It is NICE to have the president himself prove he's not as smart as He thinks he is!

I'm waiting for TRUMP to make a statement saying like he used a public restroom in a minority community and the virus must have crawled up his a**

TRUMP mocks people regularly for wearing masks! Including the recent debate addressing Biden! My position is not about a party but about the person! KARMA speaking of fools!

Good point Gator! The president has been promoting irresponsible behavior from the beginning! finally caught up with him and now probably many innocent friends and family members! Why are people surprised and upset? The president claimed the virus really isn't that harmful! So, what's the...

Great point txhunter! I admire the fact Roadless takes his son and father hunting with him and I'm sure they enjoy the hunts together! But to imply that anyone that shoots an animal other than the one they set out for is unskillful ( especially a guy that takes great bucks regularly)...

Luck plays a big part in skill! No matter how much scouting a hunter did, if he happened on a better animal (even if it was standing side by side with target animal) the hunter would take the best! Right? Is skill racing ahead of another hunter with the help of a distant spotter on a radio...
