The otc extermination hunt on the west side was a success. Most of the migratory bison died the first season. Mission accomplished. Only a few stragglers getting killed there now as intended. No refunds. People are complaining about lack of success on the east side draw hunts now as bison...

I don't know the reason why they did this. What I do know is that the tribe vehemently opposed the otc bison hunt that was designed to exterminate the reservation bison that migrate west in winter. Their concerns were totally ignored and the extermination occurred. That was reminiscent of...

I've shot plenty of animals with all manner of bullets and arrows healed up inside. The worst was a cow elk my son killed that had hundreds of tiny lead shotgun pellets all through the meat. It was a total waste. Please don't harass edible critters with shotguns and bird shot!

I like it. I would prefer 80/20 for every species and every hunt including MSG. I wish that would be adopted in every other state as well. It just seems like a fair split to me. I'll take 85/25 though. That's close enough for me. In CO, nonresidents will still be getting way more than 25%...

My quick calculations show at least 97. Mostly hunting trips. All in tents. I guess I do like to hunt. No wonder my tents are all wearing out.

Very nice! If I find a moose shed the match is either right there or I never find it no matter how hard I try. Let us know if you match it up.

Five in the group? That's the whole quota for nr pp special. If anyone else is considering applying, take that into consideration.

Sure Flaming Gorge Dam is in Utah. You think the water behind it comes from Utah? Very little of it does. If all states relied on their own natural water supplies, Utah would have less water than almost all other states.

I think muzzloader hunts should always be without scopes. I've killed everything from antelope to moose with an open sighted muzzleloader. Many dozens of trophy animals. It's not that hard to do. Just get within 100 yards and wait for a killing shot. It's still a hundred times easier than...

It looks like antlered mule deer tags in the Platte Valley only went up in one unit and that was to get back to the same number issued prior to last year. That unit had the high number of hunters last year as always because many hunters that drew in 2020 were allowed to hunt in 2021 without...

Bluehair said: But I’m talking about dudes riding up and knocking the horns off of wild freakin elk on the winter range to get the sheds. I’m still skeptical. I am also skeptical. I've frequently heard people accuse shed hunters of all sorts of outrageous activity. I think most of it is made...

Elk have been wrangled off of snowmobiles. I don't know about the baseball bats. There have always been laws against that kind of thing. No need to pass more laws that only affect the law abiding. COWBOY GETS LITTLE TIRED OF CHASING ONLY HORSES By George Diaz of The Sentinel Staff Orlando...

Twobellyjake, sent you a p.m.

Sheep guard dogs are not always friendly. I remember when a mountain biker in Colorado spent a month in the hospital after being mauled. I have no love for mountain bikers but I wouldn't wish that on anyone. I have had many encounters without incident but one night while hiking after dark I...

84 7/8

Congrats on the tag. Did you have more than 24 points? Just curious. The stats show it took at least 25.

This may be my all time favorite. It has it all and double droppers!

I took this picture around 1981 or 1982. It was Unit 53 in Colorado at the foot of Mount Lamborn. The kid killed the buck. He was from Oklahoma and I think he was 16. Any chance any of you know him? The buck was an easy B&C typical in spite of the extra points.

I hope no one sees my comments as a personal attack, especially the author of the Western Hunter Story. I would congratulate him on a great ram, great hunt and great story. He certainly put in a tremendous effort and was rewarded for it. I appreciate his honesty in telling the story the way...

I just got my newest Western Hunter Magazine. The cover story is a Wyoming Sheep Hunt. The author missed a big ram three times at over 600 yards. His excuse was "Something obviously happened to my gun". Reading that after seeing Tri's recent post I just had to comment. I vehemently disagree...

I'm going with 82 2/8. Eli is not going to be far off so that is what you should assume is correct. Beautiful, beautiful buck! Hope you get him

Thanks Chester. That may be my favorite buck hunt ever. Got him above 11,000' on the next to last day of the season, during the very last minutes of light several miles from the road. Very satisfying to have it all pay off like that. Here's another pic of the same buck. 218 and change...

I've always said the last ten minutes of light are worth far more than the entire rest of the day for big deer. It has paid off for me many times.

In regards to the CO RFW program. Some of those ranches are winter range for hundreds of deer that come from far away public land on multiple hunting units. These same ranches have very few deer during summer and early fall. These ranches hunt during the rut when the deer arrive on the winter...

NVBighorn I see what you are saying but I think with the tough draw odds and the waiting periods after drawing, you probably aren't going to be hunting top units in Nevada a lot no matter if it's 90/10 or 80/20. I believe that If you apply in a bunch of states like I do, your overall number of...

I have always said that all states and all species should be 80/20. I think that 20% is enough for nonresidents to keep paying for all the point fees, app fees and unused hunting licenses that it takes to play the game. For residents 80% is plenty. Going from 80% to 90% or more doesn't seem...

While we are discussing the "generosity" or lack thereof of Colorado and Wyoming towards nonresidents I thought I would mention a little known fact. Colorado has no nonresident quota for pronghorn. That's right, it's based solely on preference points. Nonresidents can draw all of the tags in a...

8-11-3 Firearms Restrictions. (A) No person shall hunt migratory birds with: (1) A shotgun larger than ten (10) gauge. (2) A shotgun capable of holding more than two (2) shells in the magazine. (3) A shotgun using a plug of two (2) or more pieces. (4) A rifle of any type. (5)...

Like I mentioned before there is a total ban already in Utah on baiting turkeys or migratory birds. Ag fields and water sources are not baiting. I don't have a dog in this fight but to say it's not possible to enforce a ban on baiting is ridiculous.

I was considering a Utah turkey hunt recently so I studied the regs. Guess what no baiting allowed! Hmmm wonder why? Maybe too effective? Baiting has not been allowed for migratory birds for about a hundred years. Ag fields have always been exempted. Never heard anyone complain about any...

Horses are not allowed on Storm King Trail. Call the BLM and ask about it if you want to verify.

I see close to 90. These numbers shouldn't be too far off. Bottom Mass One Horn 8 4/8 and 8 4/8 =17 Top Mass One Horn Total = 7 4/8 Prong= 5 4/8 Length = 15 17 + 7 4/8 + 5 4/8 + 15 = 45 x 2 = 90 Mass is the most important quality for pronghorn score. This buck has it! Drew check...

I've shot a trainload of big game with powerbelts including many big bulls. They perform flawlessly for me. That's all I use. I recently bought a lifetime supply in case they quit making them. I shoot .54 cal though. Whenever hunting with a muzzleloader you should wait for a shot that you...

Well my link doesn't exactly take you to what I was reading but you may be able to get there through it if interested. It's from Google Books Quadrupeds of North America Volume 2 starting on page 156. I love reading the few written accounts of the American west prior to white settlement...
