    Trail Access Restrictions - No UTVs = No Horses

    Your* The trailhead you mentioned is at 5k. Good luck on your hunting next year, maybe hunting out west isn't for you. There are elk in KY and PA that you can drive right up to, apply there.

    Trail Access Restrictions - No UTVs = No Horses

    When I come duck hunt in MS/AR/LA, no one should be able to use a boat or a Mud Buddy motor since I am only bringing my waders. When I go fish in FL, no one should be able to use a longer rod than me to get bait further off the beach. When I go to south GA, no one can bring one of those...

    Trail Access Restrictions - No UTVs = No Horses

    I love this time of year (and tag draw season), just to hear the dumbest ideas possible related to hunting & access from NR. The cream filling between those seasons is posts asking why R won't help or have an attitude towards NR.

    They aren't paying for the packout, they are paying for the view.

    Teach Backcountry Navigation with this one easy trick!

    In the woods. PM inbound. Don't worry, I picked up two mylar balloons as well. People suck.

    Teach Backcountry Navigation with this one easy trick!

    None of that going on in this area recently (or upcoming timber sales), flagging also extended into a wilderness area. The timber sales around here lately have all been paint marked.

    Teach Backcountry Navigation with this one easy trick!

    Do you want to help teach backcountry navigation to other users in the woods? Pull flagging tape when you see it. I pulled pocket fulls across three miles of thick timber last weekend. If you need to use it to blood trail, pick it up. If you need to use to help a buddy navigate in, have him pull...

    Colorado add on bear tag - 2nd rifle

    Bottom of the valley on our place, which is 2/3's up a mountain if you go 10 miles down valley. Find food that's still good, and you may find bears. They are getting the last of the goods and aiming for their den sites around this time, just depends on what we get for continued winter weather.

    Colorado add on bear tag - 2nd rifle

    This has been a warm fall so far, and bears are still out. These tracks are from yesterday afternoon, I think we may try to have a bear tag handy this year for 2nd rifle.

    Suppressed vs Non-Suppressed Hunting

    You missed the word accuracy in there as well, and the context. The passed-down gun knowledge from the generation of hunters before was longest barrel possible to get it moving as fast as possible and be accurate. Modern knowledge lets us know what calibers can do their work in a short barrel...

    Suppressed vs Non-Suppressed Hunting

    There is more to terminal ballistics & accuracy than velocity. There are plenty of chamberings that get their 'work' done in 18-22" barrels, especially when you add a can on the end. This is not 1983, modern powders and calibers don't need a long runway to perform. You have unrealistic...

    Suppressed vs Non-Suppressed Hunting

    I shot a moose this morning with a suppressed 6.5 PRC. She walked 8 yds and dropped. The bull next to her did not react, which is great since bull moose tags are once-in-a-lifetime here and I would hate to ruin someone else's hunt. The other guy with a cow moose tag in the next meadow down...

    Suppressed vs Non-Suppressed Hunting

    My use case is different most of the year, traversing (via various means) the same ground year-round. The vast majority of our shooting is still single shot/kill ratio, but the long-term effect on the landscape is much lower. I can shoot coyotes and not disturb the muley bucks bedded on the...

    Suppressed vs Non-Suppressed Hunting

    Suppress everything, and don't look back. One of the most common trends I've noticed in these threads is it's usually guys walking to a tree stand complaining about the extra length and weight; while the guys living in the west tend to advocate more for suppressors.

    Elk step to YARDS

    Entirely too many variables there to use this technique as a valid one for ranging. Did the podcaster also mention how many elk he's stuck arrows into and not recovered while just eyballin' it? Use your rangefinder, make a good shot. Distances out west are VERY deceiving, for proof just go look...

    First Aid, Who's Needed It?

    I've run into/seen/been in some interesting situations in the woods, this one is a new take though (usually see deadfall/tree limb puncture wounds). Stuff of nightmares, glad it ended well. I'm guessing you had a TQ and opted Israeli after seeing the wound? For anyone curious, a TQ and pretty...

    CPW to relocate Copper Creek wolf pack

    11 of the wolves in the state have GPS collars, and the state is managing them under 10(j) of the Endangered Species Act. Killing one (outside of a handful of situations) will net you a felony charge, so it is really worth your time to verify your target (also it's one of the rules of firearms...

    CPW to relocate Copper Creek wolf pack

    We had similar hurdles here (and still do). There were times during calving we were told no wolves in the area (aka free-for-all on coyotes under thermal/night vision), then the next day someone finds a fresh track or has a wolf on camera. It is definitely something to give you pause.

    CPW to relocate Copper Creek wolf pack

    These are the only two regions in the state they can put wolves. It is land west of the divide, with mileage limits to state lines & the Mexican Gray Wolves (Faded red lines that bound N & W, arcing line to S). The state is going to have million dollar wolves by the time this is done, between...
