The same question is the root of ruining everything theses days :
“How do I make money off this?”
It’s happened to hunting, fishing, shed hunting, wood cutting, etc…
These activities I listed have been American heritage past down through generations. They have been hijacked in...
Maybe require a person to purchase a permit to sell sheds. Telling random people walking public land, that they need a license or permit if they find a shed is ridiculous. Like so much of society now, we all pay for the choices of very few.
Hey elk, I think you finally have an answer to what has happened to the Utah deer in the last 40 years, Horsecorn!!! Take that man’s rifle and maybe there will be some deer in Utah again.
It’s amazing the amount of cowardly disrespect the internet has produced. Just think about that guy sitting at home by himself , behind a computer screen, typing whatever disrespectful bull **** he can think of, just to purposefully piss another person off, and smiling about it. What a life.
There is nothing wrong with moms and grammas mentoring. My wife hunts. There is something wrong with people obtaining licenses, who have never and will never hunt, so the tag can just be given away.
Unfortunately this is another case of a good idea taken advantage of. Meant to have a dad or grandpa to give up their tag to a kid yo get them going. Now we have wives and grammas who have never hunted in their lives mentoring kids. Everyone gets punished for the few that take advantage of the...
I propose we get rid of dedicated archery and muzzle loader seasons. Make 2 ALW seasons. Choose your weapons and go hunting. Too much bitching about tech.
0% chance I’m comparing an atv or truck to a helicopter while hunting. I can’t believe the **** that grown men are convincing themselves of these days. Most of us apparently need rules and laws to tell us right from wrong. I constantly hear “it’s legal” or “there’s no rule against it”...
Hey Elk.
Since we’re still negotiating in the final hours, here’s my final offer:
9x scope limitation on all seasons. ALW and muzzy included. Rotate the general ALW and muzzy seasons every year.
What you think of that?
Pretty gross. Another black eye for outsiders looking at hunting. Assholes are taking over hunting. Really sad for those of us that had true traditions of hunting handed down to us. I wish the internet never happened, and I wish hunting never turned into “the cool in thing” for rich people...
The assumption that the mature deer would get killed on the rifle hunt is a guess at best. I can’t say this enough, the advantage of the current muzzy season is only 50% the modern scopes and guns. The other 50% is the season itself. No one else on this thread, through 600 posts, has addressed...
So apparently in the last week we’ve gone from modern muzzys shooting 500+ yards accurately, to modern muzzys can’t shoot 400 yards accurately. Which in turn makes a bunch of guys on this thread liars. A bunch of successful hunters over the last 5 years are liars. And the manufacturers of...
Mulies should be the current focus considering the diminishing herd. Keep speaking up. Some people are just late to the party. Keep shouting and they’ll find the party.
That’s awesome. Great to hear. I like to give you **** because you have a lot of strong opinions, but I never really hear your solutions. I appreciate your passion, and it would be great to get more hunters involved in general. I think the best opinions are formed from hands on experience...
Thanks for helping out. Would you do it without the dedicated hunter incentive? Have you? Did your work help the herd? Is the work you’ve done the direction that we all need to go to save the herd?
Lots to be accomplished. Have you heard of the word “precedence”? Set it on muzzys. Then limit optics on rifles. Then pull back on archery. Why can’t this discussion just be about muzzys? Then use the decision on reverting muzzy technology to justify limitations on the other weapons.
I agree that limits have to be put on all weapons. I just don’t agree with the reason for that being : “Because he took mine, we need to take his.”
That’s never a good reason to do anything, and never leads to logically decisions.
If we could all admit a few things to be fact we could start...
Management needs to go beyond tag allocation in all states. Biology needs to get more in depth if we are going to have any positive impact on management.
I bet wildlife boards from other western states are reading this stuff thinking: “You know what, that scope on muzzy thing might be the way to go.”
It’s crazy that Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Arizona , Nevada, and Colorado haven’t jumped on board yet. I guess they’re just not quite the in...
