Thanks guys, I hope you'll hop on the website and get one for end table. The 700 pages inside are pretty amazing, with many vintage photos like that one.

Hey everyone, I just thought you might like to know that the new book, "Idaho's Greatest Mule Deer, 2nd Edition" is out. It's an incredible book that took 21 years of research to finish. It's a whopping 704 pages, with over 900 deer in it, all in FULL COLOR, with very well documented history on...

You have to pick. Usually it's which one is better compared to the minimum, or how it ranks respectively in each category. You can NOT enter the same deer in two different categories.

That 5-10 year time frame is called the "seven-year itch" for a reason. The newness has all worn off, you've ridden the coattails of romance as far as they'll go, and now you're down to the true roots of the relationship. Now's the time when a lot of couples have to rebuild from the ground up...

40, 45, 44, 55 early, 67 late, 54 late.

Mat, I think there's a fine line between teaching some of these organizations a lesson by "falling on the sword" for one issue, as compared to looking at their overall track record of excellence for wildlife. We can't just keep dropping memberships to all these groups every time we have a...

In short, a lot of what you see going on in Idaho revolves around the fact that cattlemen/farmers/ranchers have a pretty tight stranglehold on the legislature. At times this is a good thing and at times (particularly for sportsmen and wildlife) it isn't. There's little balance in the legislature...

Topgun, Don't get me wrong - I completely take to heart ALL feedback, and respect what you are saying, and I appreciate you taking the time to say it, so don't think otherwise. On the same token, I'd appreciate if you would also be willing to be open-minded enough to look at the product and...

Tyler, I thank you for the nice email and honest feedback. Thank you for subscribing, and I'll do my best to make this magazine something you're anxious to receive each time. I take this pretty seriously, and want this thing to be the absolute best western hunting publication around, in content...

LAST EDITED ON Feb-23-12 AT 08:45PM (MST)[p]Zim, Here's our conversation: Zim: I hate SFW. Ryan: I'm not a fan either. Zim: No, you're wrong. I hate SFW. Ryan: Uh, I said I'm not a fan already. Zim: No, SFW is bad! Zim, I get it. Really, really, I get it! Thanks. Bingo - THANK YOU for getting...

I understand that, Bob. Please read my #3 point on post 13 for my thoughts there. At the end of the day, this mag will represent all those things you care about.

Zim, You'd argue with yourself over whether the sky was blue. That's a fact and everyone on here knows it. You know by now how I feel about SFW as a whole - I'm not a member. However, I also don't fault sportsmen for doing what they have to do with what's laid in front of them. If a guy wants to...

Deerlove, I appreciate your comments and will keep it in mind. However, again, I hope you will read what I said, take it to heart, and understand what this magazine will represent. If you've followed any of my past work, I think you know that I ALWAYS represent the common, hard-hunting man in...

LAST EDITED ON Feb-23-12 AT 06:07PM (MST)[p]Hornkiller, We haven't run any governor's tag stories. We don't have a questionnaire for them to fill out, so I couldn't say if any of them were a raffle winner, OTC, limited entry draw, etc. I don't have a problem with raffle tag winners in any...

LAST EDITED ON Feb-23-12 AT 06:11PM (MST)[p]Zim, Again, I fully believe in the N.A. Model, and share most if not all of your values. I hope that you'll take a look at the mag and see that this magazine will not disappoint. Thanks for your time. To your edit: I too believe that actions speak...

Zim, My opinion is actually very close to yours on the North American Model, and that's what the magazine will reflect. I think your efforts are misplaced. You're basically trying to railroad against a magazine that will ultimately reflect your own values. Doesn't seem smart to me, however, I...

Shotgun1, et al, First, thank you for asking my personal opinion. I want to address something, and then I'm going to pretty much drop this, because there's never any way to win an internet fight with someone who doesn't really want to listen anyway (not you). So here's my thoughts: 1) None of us...

Robb, We're not associated with either SFW or BGF in any way, shape or form. The magazine is my "baby" so to speak, and will focus on hard, honest hunting, whether it be backpack, horseback or roadside camp/day hunting, good gear reviews, blue-collar hunting stories and with an ethical...

Hey guys, Just wanted to let you know that tonight at 10pm is the deadline to receive Issue 2. You can see a preview of the cover by visiting our Facebook page. Here's a list of what you will see: 1. Randy Ulmer - moving targets 2. Nate Simmons - Advanced Backpacking Strategies - Backcountry...

BPKHunter, In Boise, you can get it at the Capitol Gift Shop, Workman Outfitters on Vista, or at Buckhorn Gun Shop on Ustick. You can also email me at [email protected] if you want one that way. Thanks. Robby, Thanks for the comments!

Robby, It's Levi Dawes that killed the buck. I scored it for him and it is #3 in the state at 250-7/8 net. Levi's really lucky, in that the buck has the characteristics of a stag, except hard-horned. It could have given the decision-makers fits as to whether or not to let it in, but thankfully...

Agree with BuzzH. The best points system is no points system, by far. Points systems don't magically create more animals to kill. All they do is guarantee that more people will be forced to put in "to keep up", thus decreasing the overall chance of drawing due to increased applicants.

Dan, sent you a private message.

LAST EDITED ON Jan-03-12 AT 11:14AM (MST)[p]Walkalot, Sent you a PM. Thanks a bunch.

Jeff, sent you a PM.

LAST EDITED ON Nov-08-11 AT 09:24PM (MST)[p]There's protocol and chain of command on how things of any nature are reported, especially in a huge top-tier athletic department. JoePa most likely did exactly as he was supposed to do in passing the necessary info on to the athletic director and/or...

You have a PM. Tell your friend congrats! Beautiful photos.

Anyone got any good ideas for spots to check out for the last week (Oct. 17-21) of the season for bulls? Missed the first few days due to other commitments, and after the big storm hit, it seems like a bit of a crap shoot suddenly. Feel free to PM if you have any ideas you might be willing to...

Bingo, you have a private message.

I know this kid a little bit. He's a damn nice kid and a decent outdoorsman, who made a bad mistake in circumstances we weren't all there to witness. Rainy? Immature griz that was easy to mistake? Hard to say, but I'll bet that it could have happened to a larger percentage of hunters than we'd...

I have one and they are pretty incredible. The time to work the bolt is about 1/3 of a normal bolt action, and of superior design. It cannot disengage when hooking on brush as suggested above. Love the rifle.

A tragedy too cruel for words. You'll be in our thoughts.

Pick your favorite red meat recipe, prepare the meat, season to taste, cook it, throw it away, and eat something else. :) Can't say I'm enjoying my mountain goat.

Winterkill in that area (22, 23, 31, 32, 32A) is the worst in a couple of decades (this is straight from IDFG.) Not good news, at least for awhile.

Never buy Chuck Norris toilet paper. It doesn't take crap off from anyone.

As a vendor, I've had my share of issues with Cabela's. However, I think their customer service is about as good as it gets anymore. Everytime I call, a person whose first language is English picks up the phone, always within a ring or two, and I don't have to go through a menu of options. They...

Just took my goat to the taxidermist. I'd love to see about a thousand photos of cool mountain goat mounts to get some ideas of what I'd like to do with him. Post 'em if you got 'em! Thanks. BTW, I tentatively caped him for a lifesize.

Just wanted to let all you whitetail buffs out there know that the new hardcover book, "Idaho's Greatest Whitetails" is out and available here on the MonsterMuleys store. Over 350 pages of great stories and history, nearly 500 photos, and printed in all full color. I hope you'll like it! Ryan...

Mike Rainey at Buckhorn Gun Shop on Ustick. He's awesome. Try him at 208-602-5231.

Sorry Slamdunk, but you are wrong on this one. If no G-1 is apparent AT ALL, then you find the smallest measurement between the burr and the G-2 and use it twice (H-1 and H-2). If there is the appearance of a G-1 but it either doesn't qualify as a point or was broken, then you treat it as if it...
