    Resident helping NR hunt wilderness

    The resident guide would need to be present until the animal is out of the wilderness.

    You hunting Turkey's this year? (Poll)

    If you guys haven't tried it, debone your whole bird. Put light and dark meat together and then grind with bacon. Wild turkey bacon burger is fantastic... game changer for everyone I know who has tried it. Use it as burgers, sausage, whatever, it is just good. Congrats to all that...

    Why they are angry.

    Aren't you making assumptions that you seem to understand why people are upset? I know why I am and that's enough to me. Reading 100 posts didn't improve my mood but it did confirm that most feel like I do about it. The guy was way out of line and he should be held accountable.

    You hunting Turkey's this year? (Poll)

    My son filed one of his tags this evening. Was a fun hunt. Took an hour to get the three toms I had gobbling to finally come in. He shot this one at 10 yards with no blind.

    Have you been, or plan to, go bear hunting? (Poll)

    My son really wants to go so I'll do it some time soon. I personally have zero interest.

    Early snow question

    I have seen a few big deer stay high but from my experience most big deer stay just above the main big push... where there is good cover. They still have the instinct to migrate, but hunting pressure keeps them away from the masses.

    What Trips Your Trigger?

    I have bucks with great mass, and one with a bunch of kickers and a drop tine, but have never shot a really wide one. That tops my current hit list.

    I have had a couple wrong but Kentucky and BYU losses hurt- had Kentucky winning 3 games and had BYU winning 2 games. Surprisingly, my bottom half is still perfect.

    MOST UNUSUAL CATCH ON A FISHING ROD???

    I have caught a few birds, turtles, and a muskrat once but the most unique was fishing top water in SE Texas. I had just moved there from Wyoming and was really enjoying the fishing. One evening I was fishing a 6" zara spook and catching the occasional nice largemouth. Right at dark, when I...

    I'm in. I don't normally watch but as a Nebraska fan I finally have a reason to tune in, at least for one game.

    Taker or No? How wide and what does he score?

    I would be very surprised if that buck wasn't at least 30". Score wouldn't matter to me but guessing 190+.

    Your Favorite Method of Hunting? (Poll)

    Archery is by far my favorite but I have come to really love rifle hunting more since I have been mentoring kids the last 15 years.

    You hunting Turkey's this year? (Poll)

    I shot one those a few years ago. She had a 10" beard but it was pretty spindly. Cleaning out a hen full of eggs turned me off - not doing that again.

    Would you send an arrow at this one?

    No shot for me. Inside of 30 yards, yes, I'm confidently shooting and know I will make a clean kill. I have over 90lbs of KE with my setup so a mule deer shoulder is zero concern. i have taken 15-20 deer with this shot angle with no problems at close range. At 40+, I wouldn't even consider...

    7mm-08 thoughts

    It's a great round but you already have several VERY similar calibers. If you want it, go for it but it isn't going to do anything that your others won't.

    You hunting Turkey's this year? (Poll)

    Haven't shot one in several years but I call them in for kids every year. They are a lot of fun to hunt.

    Some Cabelas used to employ decent appraisers. No sure if they still do since the BP merger.

    Not poking at anyone but if I had 30k to waist, and was looking for a tax deduction, I would find a worthy charity that helps kids, veterans, or disabled in the outdoors.

    Antelope recommendation

    If I were in your shoes I would continue to build points for a few years. The fawns born last year, in the severely impacted areas, will make some great bucks in 3-4 years imo. Numbers may not be great for that age class but there should be some really big bucks in 2027.

    SO??? WHO'S TIRED OF BUYING CHINA BUILT TRASH???

    I work for a manufacturer that does it's best to source and build everything here in the USA. It is getting harder and harder to be competitive with many of our products. A lot of people stand up and say they want genuine made in the USA right up until the time they have to choose to pay for...

    How wide

    Looks young from what little I can see so ear width may be deceiving- guessing inside spread around 20".

    What now? After load work up on my hunting rifle-how often do you shoot it?

    With my main big game rifles, I shoot them 50-100 rounds in the late summer/ early fall as season gets closer. The rest of the year I still shoot but with small calibers.

    First crack at smoked meatloaf

    Hard to tell from the pic but how thick was each loaf? Time and temp? Interested in trying it.

    Bull elephant or stone sheep?

    Never had the desire to hunt sheep. Never applied as a resident. No desire to hunt anything in Africa either so I wouldn't pay $500 for either one. I surely don't fault anyone who wants to though.

    Sleeping in a Pickup

    In Wyoming I love to sleep on the ground with a thin pad. In the Midwest, there are way more ground pests to worry about so I sleep in the bed of the pickup. I have an air mattress that fits the bed. It isn't perfect, but it works great for a night or two turkey hunting with my little guy.

    Walleye

    That's rough. I actually released those two. I usually only keep them under 20". They are better to eat when they are smaller to me. I did weigh both before releasing, 5.2 and 7.5.
