    Whole Animal Butchered Cuts

    I was thinking $4.50 per lb was pretty cheap as well, but Im on the west coast. Around here it don’t make your freezer at $4.50 per lb. They cost that much on the hoof. Slaughter would be $150 to $200. We pay about $1.50 per lb hanging weight for standard butcher, no fancy stuff. Been a year...

    You can go back in time…

    Id have to say the GPS has had both the most positive and negative impact on hunting in my life time. I recall the days where few people wandered very far off of roads or maintained trails. With a map, compass, and some dead reckoning it wasnt hard to get away from folks. Satellite imagery has...

    Wait till after the SHOT Show?

    I ordered a Shot show intro item last year. Order fulfilled in August. The advertised ATF wait times are short, but I wouldn't bank on that.

    Colorado Fake Tag Caps??

    It seems the “hard cap” only applies through all 4 choices and then it would transition back to a “fake” cap and leftover R quota would become available for NR. It also appears per the petition that someone is indeed pushing for 90/10.

    Seeking Best Idaho Fish and Game Attorney

    domiciled: reside or be based. You neither resided or were based in Idaho. You lived, worked, housed your family, and recieved your mail in Utah. You were based and residing in Utah. It sounds to me like the judge got it right.

    Wolf Hunting Video

    You think cause my sensibilities dont prefer something that means I must be able to do better? If i dont like minivans does that mean I must be able to build a better grocery go getter?

    Wolf Hunting Video

    Looks to me like that lake has been heavily baited for a good bit and the birds and wolves are accustomed to the situation. I had the opposite take on the video. Too cinematic (?) to me, to much mood music, b roll, slow mo’s of sleds being drug and odd close ups and angles. To me its the fault...

    What would have happened if I would have shot this round?

    Good on you for catching it. If it chambered it probably woukd have shot fine. Maybe neck woukd split and maybe bolt would vent some gas. Hopefully not in your face. Not something to try. Interesting about your rifle shooting poorly. Most interesting part to me is that you took it hunting and...

    Wilderness Hunting Reciprocity. Good idea?

    I dont get this idea/concept. I dont understand how it would even work. Its not like a state would ban just Wyoming folks. They’d ban all non res. In short order you’d only be able to hunt wilderness in your state. And what state is it that folks propose has desirable enough wilderness hunting...

    Day Pack Weight- How much is too much?

    I keep mine at 25# or less. If it gets over that I pull stuff out. Ive proven to myself over the last 25 years or so that even at 25# ill have crap ill never use. At 25# i can walk all over all day and not feel loaded down. My daypack on big game hunts is a Stone Glacier solo. I want to be able...

    DIY Saltwater Fishing Trip to Prince of Wales Island

    It’s a journey getting there. Lots of fun stuff to experience. Never done Uber, usually call Sourdough. (907) 225-5544 and have also called Yellow cab (907) 225-5555. The cab companies seem to swap around and change hands from time to time. No idea about the $25 taxi fee. I’ve never experienced...

    DIY Saltwater Fishing Trip to Prince of Wales Island

    I think that’s an odd statement “while in the taxi the ferry fee is covered”. In my experience the vehicle fee covers the driver. All passengers still pay similar to walk on. Vehicle fee is of course higher than walk on fee. If you take the taxi over, you cover the entire fee. If……the Taxi...

    DIY Saltwater Fishing Trip to Prince of Wales Island

    Grew up on POW, go up about once every year if not more often. Family still lives there. Lived in Coffman for a bit. It’s changed since then though. Little store still has the same name… Coho bite on most anything. I’d expect your king limit to be 1 or less per person by then and you’d have to...

    Sitka AK fishing advice

    Alaska is a bit of a conundrum. The fishing is great, but other than coho and pinks(who eats those?) the retention limits are often less, sometimes much less than Washington and Oregon. Some places the steelhead limit is 1 per year. Often the King limit is 1 to 3 per year. Lingcod is often 2 a...

    Denali Park Flag Flying Update

    That new article(statement?) is as nondescript and vague as the other statements put out. It reads to me like someone trying to sweep this under the rug and hope it goes away more than anything else. Was the park superintendent the one who “relayed the message”? And if she was, what exactly...

    License Fraud help!

    FYI Washington will hammer you for not changing you vehicle registration over and not paying use tax on your stuff when you move to Washington from out of state.

    License Fraud help!

    I’m thinking it would be hard to prove you reside in Idaho if the only house you own and live in is in Washington.

    Sitka AK fishing advice

    Mean Queen was highly recommended. I think I liked their wings and pizza the best. I think Bayview had better burgers, and Ludvigs bistro had some good eats. I’m probably a poor judge though.

    Sitka AK fishing advice

    Not much driving in Sitka. But there is an Avis at the airport. Dining isn’t bad but is primarily burgers, pizza, and wings. There is some seafood, a Chinese place, and a little Italian joint. I guess about the assortment you’d get in any of the SE towns. You could walk to most all of it from...

    Why are people cutting barrels off

    So with the guesstimate of weight loss added in it looks like recoil reduced very minimally. Probably imperceptibly to the shooter. But muzzle blast would increase significantly, likely increasing the perception of recoil. Notice that in your linked article the author describes muzzle blast and...
