West Virginia has been trying to establish an elk herd since 2016. Due to CWD there are very few places that you can get elk. Some of the transplanted elk died due to stress from being moved and some have died from brainworm, which is an issue in the East where elk share range with whitetails...
This is a firearms auction near me that you guys might enjoy looking at. But these guns won't go cheap.
A couple of years ago I purchased an Inland M1 Carbine from them. Bid $1,050 but had over $300 in buyers premium, Virginia sales tax and shipping.
Did I pay too much? Could I have got one...
I didn't cook this but I was in new Orleans last week. My first time staying there. The food there is fantastic.
One is a blackened bay fish, drum, with crawfish, deep fried mashed potato and greens. The other is a crawfish pasta.
This is a firearms auction near me. There are some nice collectables on it. I don't think anything is going to go at a discount price. Especially after you add a 17% buyers premium, FFL fees and shipping.
This isn't too far from me but it's across the State line so I can't go pick one up.
But...
Hey Beanman and Homer, I’m in Cabo now. The weather is great. Was a little cool this morning at 69. Thought I was going to have to put a shirt on but it warmed up pretty fast.
Looks like there is a pretty major winter storm coming over the next two days. Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Colorado. Some areas expect snow of 10 to 20 inches.
In much of Wyoming it might be interesting for the rifle elk opener on the 15th.

Auction near me, probably not a place to get a good deal. you would have to pay a17% buyers premium, shipping and FFL dealer fees. But it's interesting to look at.
We started out in January with 80 year old fighting for a place in line. But that has changed. It seems that everyone that wanted a shot has already gotten one. We have a quarter million shots in the freezer and no one wants one.
The State is going to give everyone age 16-35 a free $100 US...
I have been going West for a hunt about every year for the last twenty years and with all the chain restaurants most of the food is the same but there is some differences between East and West.
We don't do much lamb and mutton, you could find it if you wanted it but there wouldn't be much...
They pulled theses out of the river while cleaning debris from the water intake screens for a power plant. 191 7/8.
Now the question is where did it come from? Is it a local buck or did it get trapped in debris between coal barges? If it came in with the barges it could have come from anywhere...
This buck was killed in a county adjacent to the county I live in. State record Pope and Young typical, 191 2/8. They said it ranks 25th all time P&Y typical.
It came from a county that is archery only, there are four southern counties that are archery only, they have been archery only...
I left the deer I killed in Colorado last year at a Colorado taxidermist. They said it would take about a year. So, the year was up and thought I would give them a call to check the status.
They said the tannery they used shut down for two months and were slow returning capes even after that...
A Kentucky Archery/Crossbow elk. It's not mine , I just saw this on the outfitters Facebook page. Listed as being 369.
Kentucky is a tough draw. For a non resident archery/crossbow odds are 1/776. For rifle 1/1137
Does anybody want one? I saw this morning that if you donate blood to the American Red Cross they are performing antibody tests on it and providing you with the results.
There is very little chance that I have had the coronavirus and didn't know it. But I would like to get an antibody test. If...

The World Scout Jamboree is going on near where I live. Local paper has this article today about shooting sports.
There is supposed to be 40,000 to 50,000...
Just a little tip for the application.
You have to put the small game (qualifying license) in your cart before you can proceed with your application.
I thought it would just add it in automatically but it didn't, kept giving me a response that the big game licenses weren't available.
I drew a 16d second rifle tag this year. I got some recommendations
from Monster Muley guys picked one that I still believe is a good outfitter/guide.
I hunted the Northern half of the unit and it had pretty much everywhere I went it had burned. Grass had came back up everywhere and it only...
A while back MM members were having problems seeing photos posted on MM that were hosted on Photobucket. I was having this problem also.
I did download a free "Fix" and I can see them now.
Is this still a problem? Should I be using something else to host photos? And what would that be?
I drew a 16D Non resident second season rifle bull tag. I didn't use the outfitter draw so I am free to use any outfitter.
Would appreciate any recommendations you have.
There is supposed to be a story about the Remington 700 on 60 Minutes tonight.
I don't know if this is a new story or not. Seems like I remember them covering it several years ago.
When I was driving out the road the other day I thought I would take notice of the flags that were up.
In about a five mile stretch of rural country highway at small businesses and residences there were 23 US flags, 2 Confederate flags, one State flag and 1 no. 14 Nascar flag.
There was also...
We caught these off the Outer Banks of North Carolina. They call these dolphin, mahi-mahi or dorado depending on where you are. I'm not a salt water fisherman but the family wanted me to go. I was a little sea sick most of the day.
