    Idaho Wolves, the story no one is talking about.

    Trapping has already been pretty much banned in Colorado since 1996. It is live trap only which isn't effective on anything besides bobcats.

    Anti hunting groups are organized.

    I know in Ontario and maybe other provinces they have a minimum amount of furbearers that need to be taken from registered traplines. Mainly beaver. If those are not met for a certain number of years the registered trapline is sold/given to someone else. It seems like B.C needs a similar law to...

    Hideaway Lodge Newfoundland Review

    I had that same scenario happen to me on my Newfoundland hunt a few years ago. The guides would say "The moose are in da woods, nutting we can do." It really makes you feel like they aren't putting a good effort in when they won't let you go after moose you can hear and see.

    What do you do to save on spending $$

    My biggest money saver was/is to never move out of home. Job has been 2 miles from home and no girlfriend/wife so no reason to leave yet. Definetly not the most popular option but I enjoy being around my parents and I don't mind the stigma.

    Kodiak Reports?

    I saw decent numbers of good bucks on my hunt a couple weeks ago. First time there so I'm not sure whats normal. Hunted a bit less than 2 square mile area and saw 30-40 different bucks.

    Most expensive thing you lost while hunting

    Lost my brand new inreach mini on the first day hunting Kodiak last week. I know where I lost it but its so thick and steep its gone forever. Hopefully the bear that finds it doesn't chomp down on the s.o.s button first.

    Would you keep a cow moose hide?

    Why not sell the hide? You are throwing away a couple hundred bucks.

    Canvas tent clean up

    I've had success cleaning my Davis tent with plain soap and water. Set it up and give it a good scrubbing. Make sure it is staked out completely because it will want to shrink when it dries if you don't. https://www.davistent.com/hrf_faq/use-clean-tent/

    New Mexico Bear and Cougar under attack!

    Well it kind of is us vs them. You supported a ban on a time honored tradition because of ignorant fear. It's funny you claim I am driven by emotion yet the whole anti movement is run on emotion and ignorance of science. Learn the basics of releasing a dog from a trap and you're good to go...

    How old was your bear?

    Colorado just posted the age results for the '22 season. I'm curious how old everybodys bears were? There is quite a few bears in the 24-26 year old range which is pretty amazing. My sow was aged at 9.

    New Mexico Bear and Cougar under attack!

    First the anti hunters ban trapping to see what they can get away with. Then they go after the large predators which decimate the ungulate populations. Then they cut/ban ungulate hunting. Their play book is very predictable. New Mexico already banned trapping so it shouldn't be a surprise to see...

    IF you were to move....

    I'm fine here in Michigan. Any farther south and you have no winter, just 6 months of mud which sucks. You have the Great Lakes to fish and also thousands of inland lakes. If you would move to the northern lower penninsula there is pretty much endless public land to hunt deer and...
