    Trail Cam Msgs

    At our local Little League, we are having problems with homeless doing "Stuff." The last time they tried to break into a scoring tower and they turned the field lights on. This could easily be $1,000. We want to install cameras that send a text when activated. How do they work? Do they...

    Morgan Creek Ranch

    I got an email from the CPW. It would seem that somebody turned in a tag for RFW on the Morgan Creek Ranch. I just paid for it to be re-issued to me. The problem is that I don't really know that much about it. I sorta got caught flat-footed. The tag is an Either-Sex Deer. The season date...

    Antelope #'s down?

    I was hunting this past weekend in the Hayden area (between Craig and Steamboat). I was driving around in the Breezy Basin area and saw very few antelope, and few groups over 10. It seemed like the numbers were way down. Off the 20 Mile Road, I didn't see any herds, or solos, for that matter...

    River gun

    I'm thinking about getting a dedicated rifle for use while rafting and/or canoeing. It would be to use in camp if varmints show up, hunting rabbits and etc., possibly varmint calling. It will get wet, or damp at the least. Stainless would be a big plus. I would want it compact, possibly a...
