    Ensign CWMU: lost chains

    Ensign CWMU. Lost a set of chains on Friday evening (1/19). Some guys from Syracuse and I were helping a guy who got stuck. In the process, I left my set of chains in their RZR. I’m hoping they see this post and can DM me so I come get them. If anyone has buddies from Syracuse they know who were...

    Scoring horned animals missing a chunk

    As far as B&C goes. If a bighorn sheep has a chunk of horn missing does that potentially make that horn “longer” because the tape goes down into the valley of the missing chunk and up the other side or does a measurer simply have the tape bridge the open gap as if the horn is there. It seems...

    Utah LE Deer wait period now 5 years

    LAST EDITED ON Dec-06-19 AT 12:43PM (MST)[p]I saw that the State of Utah changed the wait period to 5 year after someone draws a LE deer permit. It used to be 2. Does anyone know if that rule is going forward, or is it looking back as well? I drew a LE deer permit 2 years ago and was planning on...

    World Class Bison

    Anyone care to gander what this bull would score B&C or even SCI? We get a lot of pictures on this site of big bucks, and I thought I'd post one of monster buff. This was a picture from the Salt Lake Tribune about the SD Badlands...

    2014 Breaks Bison Harvest Records

    Not surprised to see this. The Bison hunt was insane up in Jackson this year. http://m.jhnewsandguide.com/jackson_hole_daily/local/bison-harvest-a-record/article_f653a88e-9550-5331-9d06-319ee7063937.html?mode=jqm

    Video of my WY Buff hunt

    I had some good guys on this forum help me with some information for the bison permit I drew in WY this year. Just thought I'd share a quick link to the video about how the hunt went down. When it was all said and done, I shot this bull on the 12th day of hunting. I hunted the national forest...

    Shooter Bison?

    I've been trying to get my head around field judging Bison so yesterday I went out to Antelope Island. I took pictures of these two bulls that I estimate would go north of the B&C 115" minimum (I'm assuming Bison #1 is matched Left & Right even though he is broomed). I just thought I'd post them...

    Huge Argali

    A few of you were commenting on Argali over on the Marco Polo thread. I thought I'd post up this Hangai for those who are into a little more mass. These are just pics I've come across on the web.

    "Answer" to the NM Sheep draw fiasco

    Just got this email. Now they are saying we will get a full refund or call and update our application to the outfitter pool. Why couldn't they make this easy and just wait till next year? Memo to NM: I don't want a refund of my application fees. I want to be in the draw the way you outlined it...

    KSL: Largest UT archery bucks

    Nice compilation of photos posted on KSL. I noticed the author's name is Faith Heaton Jolley. No idea who she is, but I recognize Heaton and Jolley as the last names of some big time mule deer hunters from Southern Utah. http://www.ksl.com/?sid=28611113&nid=968 Faith, if you are reading this...

    Old bino harness advantage

    One thing I like about the old standard version of bino harness with stretchy bands is that when you pull them to your face, it adds some tension and really locks the glass in place. All these new versions (Kuiu, HFH, Horn Hunter Hub) don't have that. Do any of you who have the new "tensionless"...

    Cheaters off of a cheater

    I saw a buck the other day with a forked cheater and it got me wondering, what is the most cheaters coming off of a single cheater people have seen or have pictures of. I trolled around a little bit online and found this pic from Outdoor Life. This buck appears to have 7 cheaters of of what...

    A Grizz, Wolf, and Black bear take a walk

    My buddy and I were driving along a backcountry road in ID and saw a pile of bear scat. Since we were scouting the area for bears we got out to see if we could tell how big the bear was. What we found were these three tracks, all together--all walking in the same direction in the same line. Our...

    Long distance baiting

    Does anyone have any tips about running a bear bait that is located a long way from where you live? How have you done it in the past? What is the minimum # times you can get by with checking and refilling it? I'm hunting ID this year and metal containers are legal, so I was thinking something...

    Searching for West

    Some are calling Searching For West the most important hunting film ever made. (From the standpoint of pure cinematography I'm not aware of one that is better.) It was good enough to be written up in Outside Magazine as a movie that is changing people's perceptions about hunting. No animals are...

    NRA membership vs NRA-ILA donation

    I've wondered if being an NRA member is really what is needed right now (Yes I'm a member) Of course it doesn't hurt, but the thing that seems like it would really help is donations to the NRA-ILA. ILA stands for Institute for Legistlative Action. My understanding is that the membership goes to...

    Mtn Goat Hide?

    I have a mtn goat rug that i put in a box for a few months. When i pulled it out it had some crease lines on it and the hair was quite disheveled. Do any of you have any tips to get the hair smoothed? The hair on a mtn goat is an interesting mixture of soft and coarse hair and a sort of a wooly...

    Tire Chains Questions

    A few questions about tire chains. I need to get some tire chains. They would be used my 4Runner mostly in the hills when it gets slick and icy. I'd also like the set to be used if needed on the highway. 1. Do any of you have recommendations about that kind to get? 2. Are cable chains adequate...

    Shooter Shirahs?

    I don't have a moose tag but I thought I'd post up these pics for any of you who do. This bull was in SW WY. To me he looks like a young bull with great potential. Based on his body size I'd guess he is a 2 year old. He just doesn't look massive and muscular to me.

    Wanted: Pronghorn book recommendation

    Can anyone recommend a good book about pronghorns? I'm looking for more a naturalist account of the animal as opposed to a how to hunt them account but I'll take any recommendations. I looked on Amazon and found -American Pronghorn: Social Adaptations and the Ghosts of Predators Past -Built...

    Twin Bulls Harvested

    I was reminded of a funny story while I was reading Zeke's post about his daughters 2011 Wasatch elk hunt. My Dad had a Wasatch elk tag last year and after the hunt, I sent Zeke a picture of the bull we took. He wrote back and said he "almost croaked" when he saw the picture because it looked...

    Gore-tex Jacket & DWR Questions

    I have a 2 or 3 year old Arcteryx Beta AR goretex hardshell jacket. I was out in the rain with it recently and for the first 15 minutes the rain was beading up and shedding off of it nicely. As the storm continued the rain quit beading and started to soak into the exterior fabric. This did not...

    Rocks & Trees that look like animals

    I was hiking along the other day and ran into this elephant and dragon. Recently I've started taking photographs of these things that I just happen on to. There are much more famous ones out there (like the face on surface of Mars!!) but I thought it might be cool to start a post and see if...

    Field Pics of a bear hide

    A couple of questions related to the photo below. Pics of a bear just after a kill are cool but sometimes the actual raw bear hide pics can be really interesting for showing off the size of the trophy. How do you rig the hide to take a picture like this? Do you just use 2x4s or even small...

    Depth of Field Question

    A question for those of the more expert photographers on this site. I have a compact Canon s-100 digital camera. The F stop starts at 2.0 and the optical lens functions from 24mm to 120mm. I can achieve a dramatic shallow depth of field by keeping the lens at 24mm with the fstop at 2.0 BUT I...

    will this gun kill stuff?

    It's advertised as a "super powerful marshmallow gun" but this guy is sending approximately 3000 grains of double AA batteries down range with at what appears to be 500 fps. I'm thinking this gun could be lethal!

    Where'd Adam Bronson go?

    Is it confirmed he left the Huntin Fool? He seemed like a cool guy to me and with his background and connections I'm sure he will do well.
