    Fishing in the Bahamas.

    I've been to Eleuthera about a dozen times since 2003. Would be heading back in June if daughter's wedding wasn't right in there. I've only bonefished and reef fished and never hired anyone. The island is very narrow and many flats are drivable, or at a minimum, hike-able (a machete is...

    Four (4) reasons you should not purchase Crocs

    You got one thing wrong and one (implied) thing right :) Wrong = Those are Crocs he's wearing (Maria is also wearing Crocs in this photo) Right (implied) = George is an idiot. Source: worked at Crocs for a decade.

    A reminder for first gen Tundra owners....

    I had an 03 for over a decade until last winter, and both me and the local shop were always perplexed at small oil spots on driveway and oil ‘inside‘ the skid plates.. Wish I’d read this years ago. Good PSA!

    Unit 16c New Mexico

    I've hunted 16C twice the last 5 years (1st rifle on my own tag in 2016 and 2nd rifle with a buddy last year). IMO - as quoted above - it's 'rugged' (rocky, steep in places, lots of sidehilling and canyon maneuvering, etc), but the total elevation gain in the unit is pretty mild by a lot of...

    Question For Coloradans-OT

    This... if costs are equal, it will save a lot of windshield time regardless of weather. Given your location (assume you’d originate out of Memphis), you’ll be connecting anyway, so no loss there. The bus system around town and the resort is excellent and a car isn’t really needed.

    Booking Air Travel

    Best option - book a RT ticket on your planned dates well in advance (also monitor the price between booking and departure - if the fare for the exact flights/dates goes lower than what you paid, you can usually get a refund on the difference). Then - Rent a satphone - beyond the other myriad...

    WTS Crispi Titan GTX Boots - Size 12D

    I have about 30 miles on them walking the local bike trail. Due to the weird shape of my right foot they are simply not breaking in adequately (I have this problem with most footwear - definitely my issue and not the boots - my right foot is a 12.5 and my left is a 12). I have resigned myself to...

    Steamboat Springs Vacation Ideas

    Great places above. Would add Aurum for high-end, and Mountain Tap on Yampa for excellent "gastropub" food and decent beer. If you're into beer - Storm Peak on the West end and Butcherknife a few blocks up 129 are both good as well (I personally think Storm Peak is putting out better beer than...

    Best beer in your state

    If very high quality hazy IPA's are your thing - Outer Range in Frisco is a MUST. I drive up there (~1h) just for beer some times. They do IPA's and Belgian styles only (occasional one-offs) and they do them very well. They recently opened their expanded taproom (took over the Rio restaurant...

    While I concur with this, the ones I'm familiar with are: AZ: Can apply for point only - but must apply by deadline (was 2/11 for elk/antelope and on 6/9 for deer/sheep) CO: Can apply for point only - but must apply by draw deadline WY: Can purchase points for all species from July 1 -> October...

    Turkey mounts

    The coolest one I have seen was a CO merriams on a little diorama (couple rocks, Pinon branches, yucca) that a friend had made. I usually don't like the 'artistic' backgrounds/bases, but this one looked great. One of these days I'll do a full strutter. I'm waiting for my Gould's for that. The...

    New Mexico 16C Second Archery Elk Tag

    I had the 1st rifle tag there 4 years ago and my buddy drew 2nd rifle this year so headed back. ALL of the above advice is sound. I would concur greatly with the sentiment that it is well worth the investment for a long weekend trip to get the lay of the land. I did that when I had the tag and...

    Colorado Roads during 4th Rifle season

    100%. The freeze/thaw cycle is something that I've seen foil a lot of folks that aren't used to late fall mountain weather - and honestly, a lot that ARE used to it. It's easy to get in and then impossible to get out. Be extra mindful of that if you're entering some place in the early morning...

    Colorado CPW rakes in $16 million more Revenue

    10X - yes. Take Elk as an example as it is the most common 'Western' species that folks like to come out for (numbers exclude mandatory hunting licenses which cost between $50 and $160 per state) AZ: R = 148, NR = 665 - 4.5X CO: R = 55, NR = 662 - 12X ID: R = 36, NR = 416 - 11.6X (increasing...

    FS: Sitka Delta Waterfowl Jacket XL (+hat)

    I bought a Sitka Delta jacket (Waterfowl Optifade pattern) at ISE Denver last year (Jan 2016). Have worn it once - to walk the dogs in the neighborhood. It's a great jacket, I just have too many waterproof shell jackets and I hunt ducks too infrequently to need a high end waterfowl-specific...
