The NRA doesn't support all Republicans. They support some Independents and some Democrats, based on their voting and support records on RKBA issues. They also support some unknowns and mediocre types, running against known anti-freedom incumbents. Don't you think they would back almost anyone...

It is not NRA's job to fight for public land. They exist to fight for the right to keep and bear arms. Full stop. Sometimes they will issue an opinion on public land issues, but they don't have the mandate to spend money or time on it. If they waded into the fracas on politicians selling off our...

LAST EDITED ON Feb-26-18 AT 09:21AM (MST)[p]The right to keep and bear arms has absolutely nothing to do with hunting. There is nothing about "legitimate uses" in the Constitution, for any of the rights protected there. People keep trotting hunting out as an excuse to own guns, but it does more...

A 6.5 will kill a fired up older bull, no question. The difference is how far he goes before he realizes he's been killed. Adrenaline does some funky things. If he can cover 150 yards in steep black timber you'll probably never find him. If you do find him, he'll be upside down in the water at...

LAST EDITED ON Jan-08-18 AT 05:12PM (MST)[p]Go to a 1000 yard range and watch a competition. The first thing you'll notice is windflags. Dozens and dozens of windflags, scattered all the way from 50 yards to 1000. Now, the reason competitors use all those windflags is to keep an eye on what the...

A couple of possibilities here. I have butchered exactly one deer before it went into rigor; never again. The meat shrunk up, dumped a lot of water, and was tough and gamey (yearling whitetail doe in agricultural land- shouldn't have been anything but delicious). I don't ever grill game; it...

I need a SureCan!

LAST EDITED ON Sep-18-17 AT 09:17AM (MST)[p]More Trump administration sleight of hand. Roll out a vague, sweeping directive that drops the ball directly onto the agencies that are still reeling from budget cuts, without telling them exactly what they are supposed to do or how. Never mind that...

"The ALDF alleges, among other claims, that coyote hunting is in large part, a game of chance requiring little to no skill on behalf of the hunter". Wow, now I feel even worse about consistently striking out on coyotes. Imagine how silly all the manufacturers of high end varmint rifles, snow...

The people who buy auctioned tags have money. If they can't get a tag by just throwing money at it, they are going to get it legislated. It may cost a bit more, but that doesn't matter to the "elite". Can't buy a tag at auction? Fine. Call up a congresscritter and start pushing for more...

Driving down to Idaho Monday morning. It's definitely worthwhile- I went to Winnipeg for the last one in 1979. As I heard on one of the space forums, the difference between totality and almost totality is like the difference between being dead and mostly dead. Not even in the same league. If...

A hundred or more stock trailers at one trail head and less elk around. Must be the wolves' fault. Yup.

And this is why there are mercenary idiots crawling out of the woodwork. I don't have any "trophy" racks, and if that was why I was hunting I would give it up. The antlers I have are not for sale, and never will be. Sure, if I had a chance at a world-class bull I would take it (duh), and those...

Montana combo licenses come with fishing and small game. There are some unlimited deer zones, but nonresidents still need to apply by March 15 for those.

"Stay calm" is relative. In this case, it basically means don't run screaming for the road. Exercise just moves venom around faster. You can panic, just try to do it in one place. ;-)

I apologize for coming off a bit sharp. As a paleontologist, it's a bit of a sore spot with me. I didn't mean to imply that you were claiming anything untrue, but on rereading my post I can see that I worded it poorly. Again, mea culpa, I apologize. I also have an issue with buying and selling...

If you hang your game until it is in full rigor (a couple of hours) you have 90% of the benefit you will get from any amount of aging. Most of the time, it will be in full rigor by the time you get it out of the woods, unless you can drive right up to it. Best results are if you can let it set...

If you use antivenin wrong it can do you more damage than the bite. Rattlesnakes aren't like some African and Australian snakes- you do have time to get to medical attention, and they are rarely lethal even without treatment (although not fun). They also deliver "dry" bites (without venom) a...

If you shoot it well and often, it's an awesome elk rifle. Personally, I shoot a .375 H&H for whitetails, not because it's needed, but because I shoot that rifle very well. I have never believed in loading down (If I wanted to shoot lighter, slower bullets, I'd have bought a lighter, slower...

Red is actual fossil bone. White is replica. This specimen was found in 1973 and offered for sale by Maxilla and Mandible in New York, until they went under in 2011 http://maxillaandmandible.com/portfolio/cervalces-scotti/. I assume this guy got it from a bankruptcy sale or something. If he was...

What is the age and species? Is it a Megaloceros?
