My corneas were too thin for LASIK, so did PRK. That was 14 years ago. 20-15 vision in both eyes still (outside 4 feet). I wear readering glasses for up close stuff. What I can see, the clarity and crispness, still like a mirical.

I hunt on foot. I've noticed a tremendous increase in hunters using atvs/utvs. Taking them everywhere. Horses save a lot of wear and tear on a body. I've hunted with them, but they are a distraction. Rather walk and then go get a horse when it's time to pack.

Message me when you are ready for concrete bids. I know the guy you want.

If it comes to it, let me know and I'll hook you up with the best concrete work in the valley.

If you're willing to do a little custom work, you can weld another piece of plexiglass over the stress points (use acetone). Make it large enough to distribute the stress over a larger area.

I've lived in Wyoming 45 years, in Star Valley 24 years. The winters tend to shock newcomers with a few that leave after the first one. It's not windy like many parts of the state and temps are reasonable. I haven't noticed it is exceptionally exclusionary, but I suppose you'll meet some of...

Lol. Questionable as to whether any of the towns qualify as cities, much less larger ones.

Most people carrying wolf tags are doing so on an off chance of seeing one, not focusing their hunt on them. I think they set higher quotes in the trophy area to avoid shut downs. Quotes kept the courts off their backs.

Looks like the bill sponsor withdrew it. https://www.sacbee.com/sports/outdoors/hunting-fishing/article248934864.html?fbclid=IwAR0LScCum5dP69zfH6STn0-8hn2pFHqoSs36wOp9JShE_Q5BVpY7g1nlRmM

Wyoming bucks.

A mature buck, yeah I'd take him.

Those bears' smiles look genuine. Saying not photo shopped.

Look up maceration and European mount. It's given me the cleanest results with the least work. Much better than simmer/boiling.

Blacklist is pretty good. James Spader knocks it out of the park as a sociopathic antihero.

No regulation or law will reduce mass shootings. The people who commit violent crime aren't deterred by them.

I've never been more than a meat hunter. Often hold out for a mature buck. I like hunting and am not in a hurry to end it. Was into big antlers for awhile which made me a better hunter. I still like big antlers, but don't feel a need to have them to make it a good hunt. Missed a monster this...

A drop post for your seat that you can adjust as you ride can make a difference. Going downhill, being able to drop yourself back and down, getting the center of gravity down and back, can help.

Always. I think it only adds to the appreciation for the meat, you get the cuts and package sizes you want, you know the meat is yours...

You're probably going to find variations of interpretation of law. LE (warden, sheriff's office), prosecutor, and judge being the key interpreters. To the OP, consult with the warden and country attorney's office in your area. Their interpretation is what counts. If need be, get an 'okay to...

Look for terrain that'll discourage ATV/UTVs. It's difficult as they seem dedicated to driving everywhere, but it seems like few want to really put miles on the boots.

It's your hunt and while others may have had poor success, go into it positive. Maybe expect to have to look harder to find what you want. Be flexible and willing to check out new areas in that unit. Have a good time.

People grossly overestimate how gunfire effects game. I've observed time again, game mostly ignoring shots in the area. Shot a coyote last year and saw a buck within 100 yards afterward.

I built around the body, a repurposed aluminum truck tool box. I figured how many cubic feet the meat of a boned out elk would take and made the box to size for that. There has been limited metal available here with the covid nonsense the past months, so I mostly had to make do with what I had...

Right. The trailer is too wide for a narrow trail. I've packed meat on the bike off road. It puts the center of gravity way high and you do need to be careful with the handling. Unfortunately, where I live and hunt is now covered with A/UTV trails. Makes the bike more useful, the hunting less...

I missed a really nice buck last Saturday, but connected with a young'un this morning. Been out of red meat for awhile so feeling grateful. Broke him down, packed to a closed logging road and used the bike and trailer (I fabricated the trailer this year) to get down to the truck. Worked pretty...

Hence swivels on the trap and chain. I've trapped awhile too. It is rare. The only animals I've ever see chew on themselves in a trap have been skunks. Others can and do, especially if the swivels don't work and the animal breaks the bone in a spin. Then it might keep twisting and wring it off...

I've read a few past threads on bike hunting and have done so a little in the past. This year I decided to save my feet some and get more serious about it. The opening morning of the deer rifle hunt seemed a likely time. This year, I had great ideas of including a rack to carry the pack on...

I hunt mostly timbered country for deer and elk. Some glassing into the timber and small openings across valleys and draws, more still hunting forest.

Be nice if the felony charge stuck. Loss of right to possess firearms would be a good consequence for him.

I'm swayed by wow factor. Couldn't accurately field judge points if my life depended on it. Or if I cared.

I don't know if G&F tracks attrition. As a resident, I dropped out of the points game with sheep. At present rate I'll be 78 before I might get drawn and the rate my joints are wearing down, it is unlikely I could pull off that kind of hunt. Not the age, just the mileage. I don't mind...

Quite a bit of snow fell over in that general area last night. 8" in Casper to the south west. A lot can happen over the next three weeks, but we usually get some moisture in Sep. I don't know that part of the state, but get on google earth and look for terrain features, funnels, etc. Glass...

Obsession can wane to just passion, which can wane to still having interest and enjoyment. Priorities change. Honestly, the effects of years of abuse and neglect on the body has affected me the worst. I can't cover the ground like I used to. Can't pack the weight. That being said, I've...

Depends where you went, I suppose. In Wyoming, Jackson, Laramie, Cheyenne, and Casper are worry spots. The rest of us mostly ignored it.
