I'm pretty sure my income is too high to get a check. I think people may be thinking of this in the wrong way. The government has the right to take your house to build an expressway through your property, but they can't take it without compensating you for doing so. The government is taking...

Also, don't forget, most people have very mild symptoms. My daughter and her husband both probably had coronavirus in late February. They attended an event in a hotel in Aspen, Colorado. Later it turns out 8 or 9 other people at that event were infected with Coronavirus. My son-in-law came...

I would put Bill Gates in a class with quite a number of other people on the subject of coronavirus. I will identify and address my complaints of the category of people rather than Gates specifically. It seems Gates -- and many others -- advocate a "one size fits all" response to this...

Texas has no state income tax. In the Dallas area there are good restaurants. There are cultural amenities like art museums and performing theatre groups. It has a very vibrant business environment. Some outstanding technology companies in Texas. If you are a patent attorney, it is a good...

From my viewpoint, Joe just hasn't shown up with the goods. He does not have a compelling message. He is befuddled when he speaks. He has not raised nearly enough campaign money. He is doing poorly, granted, but I don't even know that the Ukraine scandal has hurt him. He just is an inept...

Poor Nancy! You just don't understand her! Great speech. The Democrats know what they are facing. It is hard to run against accomplishments. When your opponent is only jawing about promises and spin doctoring stuff, you can win if you have better rhetoric. But this doesn't work when your...

I think that it is possible Trump says many things with the express purpose of manipulating others and/or misleading others. For some reason in this country we feel our president has to play his cards with his hand laid face up on the table and he can't ever bluff. That is foolish to play...

My problem with the global warming narrative is (1) that it lacks clarity, (2) that the narrative changes, (3) the sacred texts in the narrative allow themselves to be fudged and corrupted by obviously worthless information, and (4)there is singularly little in the way of real numbers floating...

LAST EDITED ON May-15-19 AT 11:49AM (MST)[p]Well think about it. The Democrats have bet the farm on the Russian Collusion story and it totally fizzled on them. Nothing to see here folks! Remember that black guy who was an Obama guy for a while who said way back in Spring 2017 that this was "a...

I may be wrong, but I think things have gone too far and gotten to mean to just kiss and make up. It is sort of like being in a gun fight with another person with a gun. They pulled their gun and shot first. They missed. What are you going to do, kiss and make up and hope they don't shoot at...

Well . . . this IS a bombshell! I heard that there is incontrovertible evidence that Trump used Russian dressing on a salad during the 2016 presidential campaign! This, I think it is fair to say, IS the beginning of the end. Surely, with this new revelation, Trump is beginning to feel the...

My favourite cartridge is .30-06, because I use this for my elk hunting, and I love elk hunting. An amusing anecdote is that I remember disparaging the .30-06 to my father, who made the .30-06 rifle that I prefer to use while hunting elk (Springfield action and barrel placed in a custom stock...

LAST EDITED ON Oct-06-17 AT 12:30PM (MST)[p]I love the Wyoming Saw. It cuts through bone in a big hurry. I'm talking about elk leg bones. That is some heavy bone.

Congratulations! That looks like an outstanding hunt. I am particularly cheered to see your 70 year old father out there gettin 'er done. I'm 61 years old and have been wondering how long I can keep on doing it. I guess if I live right and fate does not deal me a bad hand (bad knee injury...

LAST EDITED ON Sep-29-17 AT 01:29PM (MST)[p]This is a judgment call. You just have to ask yourself at the time if the shot feels comfortable. I shot a cow elk in 2014 that was trotting at half speed, quartering towards me (the quartering reduces the apparent sideways velocity). She was...

Congratulations to your son! I hope the experience makes him a life-long elk hunter. How far did the elk go after he was hit? How did he get so close? Did he call it in? Any details of the hunt would be enjoyable for us to hear of. I am a rifle elk hunter myself, but I admire the skills...

LAST EDITED ON Sep-28-17 AT 12:17PM (MST)[p]LAST EDITED ON Sep-28-17 AT 12:14?PM (MST) I am currently eating a 2014 cow elk that I field dressed, cut-up, took home, butchered, and froze in my freezer. This meat tastes and looks excellent. I do not hesitate to eat it myself, to feed it to my...

Good article. I don't know what the range limit is. I know I'm not shooting way out there. My range limit is maximum 300 yards, but speaking honestly more like 200 yards. I am the limitation rather than my rifle, and I can see in my sight picture whether I'm keeping a steady hold. In the...

Make sure you shoot at a legal elk. To do this, read the regulations booklet. Take an "ethical" shot. This means knowing what your shooting limitations are and not shooting at the elk when you know it is beyond your limitations. Now the way I would interpret this is that you know at what...

Good article, and I mostly agree. I'm not sure what the news media said about the Tet Offensive in Vietnam, but I'm not sure they got it wrong. One of the main weapons of the Left is the demand for politically correct speech. "Politically correct speech" has been defined to build-in agreement...

You didn't say what kind of hunting you were going to do. I would wear completely different boots for hunting pronghorn antelope in rolling plains of Wyoming from those I would use elk hunting in the high mountains. For elk hunting in the high mountains I like Meindl Perfekt Hunters very much...

LAST EDITED ON Aug-22-17 AT 01:37PM (MST)[p]LAST EDITED ON Aug-22-17 AT 01:33?PM (MST) This is a very interesting and sad thread. Thanks for posting it. Yes, I have had altitude sickness, at least once and possibly many times. My first night in elk camp I almost never sleep overnight. I go...

Cool video. It does remind me that I recommended to my son never to shoot an elk while it is standing in water. It would be a pain in the butt to cut up an elk that fell dead in 12 inches of water.

I am very very far from being a liberal or being left wing. Having said that, it is a BIG mistake to think that liberals/leftists/democrats are stupid or have low intelligence. Some of them MAY be, but plenty of them are highly intelligent. I myself struggle to figure out why...

I hunt the first rifle season in Colorado which is an either sex season. I shoot the first legal elk I see, because I don't know when I'll see another elk. If there are multiple elk present, I would select a preferred elk from those. My first elk was a 4x3 bull with three cows. I took the...

It seems to me a wall will make it more difficult for people to get across. The object, after all, isn't to stop 100% of the interlopers. If 80% are stopped, that is a big improvement. If 90% are stopped, that is magnificent. There is another aspect to this that should be remembered. There...

LAST EDITED ON Dec-21-16 AT 01:01PM (MST)[p]I think Trump as executive has the power to enforce the border laws that are already on the books. Those laws are not being enforced. Of course Trump can enforce them. With reference to admitting refugees, again, of course Trump can stop in-flux of...

There are many motivations to hunt. Read the last portion of Michael Pollan's book "The Omnivore's Dilemma." This book describes several different modes of obtaining food: (1) factory food (factory grain farms fed to factory livestock turned into fast good or pre-packaged food); (2) agrarian...

I find it puzzling that the last answer option in several questions is French language 'autre' instead of English language 'other.' When I go to the web site it is in a French language version of Google for some reason. I agree the survey seems fishy, and not because it has an unexplained...

I think there is a point that is missed here. States do not regulate hunting primarily as a recreational activity or to advance the interests of hunters. I grant that they may try to give deference to the wishes and interests of hunters, but that is not their primary mission. I believe they...

We have left our meat out overnight in cold weather, but we field dressed the elk first. That definitely improves your odds. I would prefer to skin and cut up the elk into quarters promptly rather than leave it -- even though field dressed -- overnight.

I sent a private message in response to your query. If you like Italian restaurants, try eating at Trombino's in Albuquerque. It is north of I-40 and east of I-25. There is a very big hot air balloon festival in Albuquerque in early October. It is worth going to see a morning ascension if...

Good luck. I will be hunting first season in unit 75, NE of Durango. The elk will be close to treeline in first season. It is best to know a place where you have seen elk sign. Elk herd up. You don't generally find single, isolated elk. That's why you want to see sign, lots of sign...

Look people. It is simple. Men and women are attracted to different things in the opposite sex. I'm going to set this forth to the best of my knowledge and observation. Opinions vary. Men are attracted to good looking women. More particularly, men are attracted by physical manifestations...

I think good responses have already been given. I didn't read all of them, so maybe the point I'll make has already been made. The greater difficulty of harvesting an animal with a primitive weapon may even be reflected in the hunting seasons. First season elk rifle season in Colorado is 5...

As someone has already pointed out, Remington makes CoreLokt 180 grain .30 caliber bullets that are pointed rather than round nosed. I use the pointed CoreLokt 180 grain .30-06 bullets.

I'll be hunting elk with Remington .30-06 CoreLokt 180 grain bullets this year. I've killed three elk so far with these in three elk shooting opportunities. My elk hunting partner likewise took three elk (same years I shot mine) shooting Remington .30-06 CoreLokt 180 grain bullets. From what...

I highly recommend the Wyoming saw. This makes quick work of sawing off legs and antlers. When I cut up my elk at the kill site, I take the rear hams off whole -- I don't debone them. This is a bit heavier carrying out, but it also keeps the meat in better shape -- you don't have that inner...
