I have hunted 61 a few times. If it is hot and dry try to find an isolated pond or water source with some fresh tracks around it. If you are patient enough to sit a few evenings you most likely will get your chance...Bears water daily in the fall.
Because these positions are appointed by Gov. Herbert it is important to have some backing from a Wildlife or Conservation group. Too often the appointee is appointed on "who" they know and not "what" they know. I wasn't aware that Karl Hirst was on the Board, when was his appointment made? That...
Murr, if 1600 bucks is your absolute limit on what you are able to spend on a spotter and Vortex is what you like by all means buy it.My point is there are a lot of good spotters in that price range
and I don't think the warranty should be the determining factor.if you look around you can find...
I have learned the hard way to not compromise on the quality of the optics I use when hunting. You can spend less for Vortex and similar asian optics and maybe get by. Watching my buddy's moose hunt go south because his binos fogged was a lesson learned. My swaros performed flawlessly just as I...
Agreed Deerlove, when your cheap vortex glass fails on the second day of a canadian moose hunt and you have no backup that wonderful warranty means nothing.
Huntin 50 I was able to find the date SFW was founded, 1993 according to an article by Tom Wharton. Sfw could very well have been involved with the Spring Bear hunt and like I said I am willing to give credit where credit is due. I still will not be convinced that the good SFW has done in the...
So you are willing to tell me that because of SFW we got the spring bear hunt back? or becuse of a new director? I tried to research when SFW began but could not find the answer. We never lost the Spring hunt because it never existed until 2001. So what is the true answer was SFW responsible or...
I am pretty sure SFW didnt have much influence in 2001.... I had a Spring black bear permit that year. I could be wrong but I don't think so. I will give credit where credit is due but SFW likes to take credit for a lot of things that are positive when in reality they had little or nothing to do...
BMB, One thing that I like to do when I am in a new area is to go to the local cafe where the local farmers and ranchers gather to have coffee and buy them all a cup. Dont come off as being pushy but just sit and listen. The conversation will involve lots of things that can be helpful. They...
Hawkeye, I am in total agreement with your last post. I only state my experience and skill level to make the point that I would be comfortable taking that shot. I usually never get involved in this type of an internet argument, my logic is to each his own....If I take that shot and have a...
elkchaser, I have stated my position and stand by it....I do not watch youtube videos and i couldn't care less what hunters post on youtube. I do know that after almost 50 years of bowhunting I can reasonably predict what an animal is likely to do between release and impact of arrow. In founders...
elkchaser, look at that clip again, that buck is not moving for the first 4 seconds and the last 4 seconds of that clip...plenty long enough to release an arrow and at 60 yards it is unlikely that the buck will jump or bolt from an arrow being released from a quiet bow. Just because you would...
If you look at the clip of the buck that founder posted you will note that he is totally relaxed and feeding. At sixty yards a good archer should be able to put 8 out of 10 arrows in that bucks vitals. I may not be world class but I shoot a lot and I feel confident in my ability to make that...
Rambo, I basically agree with you but question why you feel the need to bring religion into this debate? Your post about Utah and the self serving Mormons is off base,If they were J.W. or Catholic would you have brought that up? And are you sure all the hierarchy of S.F.W. are Mormon? If you had...
Dang , that is good as it gets right there!!! the bird with the young man without the gun in the first Pic is as pretty as a merriam as you will find. Those 2 boys will be hooked for life on hunting turkeys. Thanks for posting !!
I carry a few shrink on fletching wraps, string wax, string seperator, super glue, bic lighter, replacement blades, small carbide sharpener and always an extra release!
Tough to hear this news as Larry is truly one of the good guys here at MM. My nephews son had a very nice buck stolen a few years back and Larry was the first to offer a replacement... free of charge of course. I have never heard a boast or bad word come from this man. Thoughts and Prayers to...
The data that I read shows 47% of nonresidents with 4 points drew an archery tag last year. Resident odds were slightly higher.If the trend continues and tag numbers are cut any further you might need at least 5-6 points to draw.I am in the same boat as a n/r with 4 points I am crossing my...
I will have to agree with Buzz on this one. Although auction tags have provided several states in the West a massive injection of revenue,The money has not resulted in an increase in opportunity to
hunt sheep, goat or moose. Quite the opposite in fact as many of these tags are taken from the...
Yeah that"s a good idea. Turn loose a bunch of rifle toting Utards up the cottonwoods and I am sure things would go really well!!
Liberal Salt Lake county politicians would have the Front closed down to all hunting within a year or two.
