    10 year horizon, non-resident, best states to hunt

    Some observers say the point systems have merely kicked the opportunity can down the road for anyone arriving after year 1 of a point system. Two classes of hunters are created in that state. The Max pool folks and everyone else. Is it a dire situation for anyone not in a Max pool? Maybe. Maybe...

    Any have the Pocket Drone recon in camo?

    LAST EDITED ON Feb-04-13 AT 03:31PM (MST)[p]As I get older, this drone might help me see over the next mountain ridge as I light up my cigar.

    Why so many Utah subjects in General forum?

    Why is a topic on KSL posted in the General forum? Utah forum seems a bullseye for the thread. A few of us live in the frontier beyond the state borders where KSL is not a critical item.

    Drew Devils River aoudad tag in SW Texas

    Texas has a drawing for hunts for usual critters like deer but also for alligators and other beasts.

    http://www.summitdaily.com/article/20120714/NEWS/120719920/1078&ParentProfile=1055 Yellowstone study implicates goats with sheep illness. Habitat competition not an issue, though. Does this study seem accurate? Would you rather have a mountain range with goats only or sheep only if the two...
