    Drew Utah-Monroe October Rifle -- guide or DIY as first timer?

    They certainly are, cut my teeth hunting them on the coast. A mature forked horn blacktail means more to me than a 350 bull hah! If you can get that kind of experience with a one on one guide situation that would certainly be better than the mossbacks of the world. There are def good guides...

    Drew Utah-Monroe October Rifle -- guide or DIY as first timer?

    I’ll go against the grain and give you a different opinion based on experience. It was only my second elk hunting season years ago and I drew a OIL tag in the Gila. I wanted the biggest bull on the mountain, naturally. But knew the best chance was to go guided. I didn’t like the idea since...

    Falken Wildpeak AT3W Mileage?

    I had easily over 50K on mine before I switched trucks. They still had really good tread left, I rotated every 3-5k.

    NM landowner tags under fire

    Rancher: there’s elk getting into my haystack Public hunter: ok let us come in with regulations and kill those elk and push them onto public. Ranch: I don’t want people on my land and like to sell trophy bull tags (that do absolutely nothing to keep the herd off the land) for $20K Public...

    NM landowner tags under fire

    There should be zero land owner tags for game that’s owned and managed by the state funded by and for the public. It’s a public resource. You want landowner tags then you better be pro public accessing your land to hunt it for free. I own land with game and don’t feel entitled to extra tags. NM...

    Interesting place to find an antelope skull

    Any other bones around? A coyote could easily carry a head miles.

    Would have been 17 Sunday

    From where I’m sitting you sir are no failure. You and your wife did everything you could. I’ve dealt with similar struggles and know how hard it is when all we want to do is help and fix things. May she now rest in peace. I am sorry our society is the real failure in dealing with mental health.

    Is CWD the Imminent Doom for Hunting?

    I was just being a smart ass. I don’t think anyone can be certain it wasn’t here before 1967. It’s a guess at best. They just found it in CA deer. It’s everywhere and not going away. Yet in the highest CWD areas in the Midwest they’ve got too many WT so that’s odd to me. But I’m no biologist who...

    Is CWD the Imminent Doom for Hunting?

    Lots of factual facts thrown out here. But it was first detected in the 60s, fact checked.

    Montana season change proposal

    Yea that’s the problem, everyone only views these things from their own perspective. I just see it all the time hobby hunters, trophy hunters, etc say hunting for meat doesnt financially make sense when you could go to the grocery store. As if you can compare the two quality sources of protein...

    Montana season change proposal

    I love it when recreational hunters claim hunting for the meat doesn’t pencil out and go buy sh*t grain feed lot beef. Yea maybe for you that works coming from the east and you don’t mind eating that. But for a lot of locals in the west game meat pencils out a few bucks a lb plus it’s our only...

    Unexpected dead Mt lion sighting

    That’s an awesome find!! Did you take the head/skull? I def would have (even if super stinky) would be a cool bookshelf skull. Cats also fight, big Tom’s will kill a young one. Maybe that’s what happened? On another note, how rare this must be. In all of my thousands of days in the field you...

    Listened to Rogan today about the lunar landing…. What does Rokslide think?

    When you factor in all the lies and conspiracies our government has bestowed upon us since forever I wouldn’t be surprised if it was fake. I mean, they’ve gotten away with assassinating RFK lol. Luckily I don’t really care either way. Should be a fun podcast at least.

    The Gohunt Effect

    This. I truly think it’s already come to and will just get worse, hunters must decide if they enjoy watching hunting media over actual hunting itself. I hope I’m wrong though and opportunity will get better regardless of the industry behind influencers but I don’t see how it’s possible. Theres a...

    The Gohunt Effect

    Here you go Dos. While gohunt isn’t specially in this data set, its a moot point. If you don’t think they are apart of diminishing opportunity then we can just agree to disagree I guess. Edit: good points above. Magazines and Eastmans certainly had their place in this. But today the reach in...

    The Gohunt Effect

    I dont untangle them, they are all the same. I will post up some data/graphs when I get a chance.

    The Gohunt Effect

    Its actually extremely simple and obvious. There's a clear and overwhelming upward trend in western hunting applicants starting in 2014/2015 when these services started along with ME and Newberg platforms. It wasnt when the internet was invented in the 90s, or facebook in the early 2000's...
