Thanks very much Jim and walk4rams. I appreciate it.

LAST EDITED ON Sep-28-17 AT 06:42AM (MST)[p]LAST EDITED ON Sep-28-17 AT 06:38?AM (MST) Hello all, I am in need of new chains. Any upgrades in quality chains over the last several years? What are you guys running on your vehicles and why did you go with that brand and style? Thank you.

Hi Tony, I drew a n.r. for the same unit in 2015. I just sent you a detailed letter by e-mail so please watch for it in case it gets flagged and tossed in your junk mail. Ken

Weatherby recently came out with a reasonably priced rifle designed for women - the Camilla in the Vanguard series. Stocked in short action calibers, but 6.5 Creedmor, 7mm-08 or .308 with a stout bullet are sufficient for elk at reasonable distances.

Randy Ulmer is without a doubt one of the very best hunters and archers living today. If you need to question very average "pro's", go after guys like Cameron Hanes.

Like most guys I read far more than I ever comment, but I have to say that after many years of reading Triple Big Baby's incredibly self centered posts, that any grief he gets from others is well earned. Anyone that has so little respect for others as to brag about turning n.r's in for hunting...

Very sorry for your loss. It's horrible to go through. We also just lost our drahthaar, to cancer, at only 4 years of age two months ago. She was finished out nice, a true athlete, had the best nose of even our best past drahthaars, and was a clown that had you laughing constantly. Not to...

Kelco, I will e-mail you when I get some time.

62. Oh.....and leave room in your quiver for an old model HK Benelli M1 stoked with slugs.

Yes - it's fun and exciting. Like some of you I had it happen also, mine on a spring bear hunt. While sitting down and glassing a basin near evening he came up behind me. I did not hear him but guess I sensed something staring at me. Turned around and he was 20 feet away. Upon eye contact he...

Manny, I had the exact same great experience as bucklover did with Swarovski on a pair of SLC's I sent in just last year. I think the turn around was about a month if I remember correctly. Superb customer service and my binos are like new again.

Like probably many of you, I have found the past reads of hunting trips to be invaluable. This is just to encourage those that maybe do not do it to consider it. Reading back over hunts that happened long ago brings back details a person will never retain, but best of all, it puts you right...

elkcrackhead - Am sending you an e-mail.

I agree with the above posts. I was told by a government trapper several years ago that it was Blind Bull drainage after it had been marauding sheep on complaints from the Basque herders. I personally also lost a front quarter of a moose in 2002 to a grizzly on the north end of H not far from...

All good info above. I have the same ultralight .280 rifle you mention and have shot a lot of elk with it, mostly with full throttle handloads in 160 Nosler Partition and Barnes bullets, but recently have been using handloaded 140 Accubonds. I value every ounce of meat so all I ever take are rib...

dltcs, So, according to your post she wants to marry you for who you are, not for what you have or have access to, and her Dad sincerely likes you also. (Too bad they haven't seen the real you yet.) And you, think she is not what you would want to marry because of her looks, you don't love her...

Wiszard you are correct for residents. - May 1st-May31st. These guys were all non-residents. - Jan 1st-Jan31st.

BigBuckKiller - yes, as the other guys have said, you will still get a point. At least I always have. MuskegMan - No, not in reference to the resort. It is instead referring to my love of being alone in very lonely places, which you know well in Alaska. A great place.

LAST EDITED ON Feb-02-10 AT 05:58AM (MST)[p]I echo what mulecreek said about 10 compared to 24. Have spent a good amount of time in 10 after deer and elk, but have only observed moose. I did hunt 24 for moose in 2002 but my info might be dated. What everyone has stated is accurate from my...

With the application process opening I believe on Monday, just wanted to remind everyone that since the inception of the required $65 hunting license purchase to apply for tags, that your license is good for 365 days/one year. So in other words, if you applied for a tag last year on 2/20/09...

LAST EDITED ON Jan-28-10 AT 06:47AM (MST)[p]Anyone that could vote on that law to pass is as corrupt as the law itself and lacking any ethics and decency. I agree, boycott the outfitters and/or the state. When you receive mailings from the outfitters just write "return to sender" across the...

Thank you for all of the input guys. It is appreciated.

Thank you for the reply Shummy. I spoke with three different vets in southern New Mexico yesterday and they all said the same thing - yes, they do vaccinate dogs with the snake vaccine but it is only used as an added precaution that should help the dog to deal with the venom better. A person...

Each year I leave the frozen north with my drahthaar for a week or two on the beach - the sands of SW New Mexico or SE Arizona to hunt desert quail. Always having hunted the end of Jan or first week of Feb I have yet to see a snake, but talking with the C.O. last week he said it could happen on...

Also a lightweight .280. Used 7mm mag. for many years and it was excellent. If you hunt rough country out of a backpack though, the weight savings of a lightweight .280 over a magnum action makes a difference, and handloaded it will come very close to FACTORY 7mm mag. loads. If you can afford...

Thanks patience. My fault, I should not have got on you and took it too seriously. Kids use this site and I just didn't see who would ever want to listen to that kind of trash, being the guy was just a profane, worthless, and wasted complete fool. But I was wrong. One_dryboot has a deep...

LAST EDITED ON Nov-30-09 AT 06:00AM (MST)[p]So why did you waste our time with this? Come on, grow up.

LAST EDITED ON Nov-25-09 AT 08:51AM (MST)[p]The guy said it best at the end of the article..... Game and fish departments will not be able to manage ANY game until the wolves are managed. The politics of the wolf debacle are offensive and ignorant, and hunters are paying the bills for all of...

That's Obama before his reincarnation into a sheep and running for president.

I support the new PETA holiday also. Big game is over for me this year but calling coyotes are a winter ballistic tip pleasure. It will also make my tormented Drahthaar happy when the speedy jackrabbits roll to a stop from an even speedier load of nickel plated 7's while hunting scalies and...

My daughter thinks she saw him at Disneyland working as Goofy.

COBUK, smitho and jcmuleys. Sincere thanks for your responses. I also got your p.m.'s smitho and jc and responded back with p.m.'s. I wish the best to you guys also wherever you guys pulled tags and hope I can someday help you out too. Hope to talk to you soon. Thanks again. - Ken

With max points and 20 plus years of waiting i finally had the blessing to draw a unit 31 tag. I am gathering as much info as i can and know some of you guys are probably better informed on the unit than some of the experts. Any information would be sincerely appreciated. Thank you. - Ken

Just go to WGF/hunting/draw odds and it will show you all you need to know. Good luck on your elk hunt, you are a fortunate man.

LAST EDITED ON Feb-13-09 AT 10:25AM (MST)[p]Rosie O'Donnell! She invited Tom Selleck on her show a few years ago disguising her true intentions as a sincere interest in him and his acting, but then tore him apart for his stand on guns with her usual low method of cutting him off and yelling...

>ANYONE who hunts elk alone, has >never gutted, skinned, and packed >out an elk before. You >might take out a cape >and some backstrap, but then >there will be the other >4 trips. Dumb. Nickman you are an ignorant joke and are obviously trying to mix it up. For you to say that ANYONE who...

A couple of other thoughts - a small 3" or so knife blade with a drop point type is all you need for the skinning, a scalpel to do the tight areas if caping, and a FILET knife works much better than a thicker blade for the actual meat removal, especially when working around the bones. Heavy pack...

All of these last several posts are great advice. Just be in shape, and it's really not that big of a deal to do it all completely alone. Mtnman said it - have all you need with you to do it right away at the kill and get right to work. Skin one whole side, de-bone it and put in heavy cotton...

ICM deer speaks the truth. My experiences that also date back reflect the same conclusion. It's still walking on a great history and sadly no longer lives up to its reputation. If your the kind of person that does your Christmas shopping the day after Thanksgiving with the rest of the sheep, it...

If you're talking rifle and mule deer, 20 years ago you could actually hunt it, have fun, and have a good chance at a solid deer. I have not hunted it in 5 years now, but my personal opinion is it's been messed up with too much press and false hopes of the good old days. Twenty or thirty trucks...
