Your point is 100% valid. I have no doubt about the anti-hunt contingent.
That being said, between 2015-2018 I drew a quality LQ tag in WY with 5 points and two General tags. I’m very fortunate. Just a few years later that same LQ unit is 11 points and a General is what, 5-6? In no time flat...
Of the three I’d say Steve has done the best at showing hunting in a positive light for non-hunters. I understand some good had come of it. And perhaps I’m lumping these 3 in with the rest of em.
BUT, the resource that is wildlife is finite and as of late the pressure put on it as at an all...
That's a reasonable goal and one I'm fully in favor of achieving. I gladly donate money to RMEF, WSF, and other conservation groups that have a constructive, positive message and agenda.
I generally take exception to having to automatically support someone who hunts and has a big platform...
I'm not sure why when it comes to hunting we all automatically have to support each other. It doesn't compute for me. Some of the biggest egotistical a-holes I know are hunters and they certainly aren't doing us any favors. Plenty of hunters are poachers, law breakers, sociopaths, and fame...
Gut feel is that they'll outsource the rest of the product line to Asia. I was disappointed when MR moved the lower half of their product line overseas and my guess is the rest will end up over there.
I've had a 6 man tipi and currently have a 12 man Seek Outside and a 4 man Slumberjack. I'd take the 8 man and share that for sleeping. And take a cheap tarp and pitch that to put your gear under. More room in the tent that way. The 8 man would be just fine for sleeping 3 so long as it's not...
This is about it for me. I have Facebook but I purposely blocked every person I know on there so I see no friends and no posts. I only use it for buying and selling.
I lurk other forums only to steal unit information. 😆
I'll be at 17 months this Friday, which is my daughter's 13th birthday. Yes I feel a million times better both physically and mentally, but as mentioned earlier I think the best thing about quitting is breaking that cycle of normalcy of alcohol around my kids. I can't imagine seeing my kids...
The only raffles left would be the floor raffle hunts that you need not be present to win. I’ve got my name in a few hats with those. I attended the <1 club raffles last night as well. I believe all that’s left are some more auctions and you can stream that and bid online. Those are typically...
Heading home from the show now. This was my second time going. Last year I was talking to a lot of outfitters because I was looking to book a hunt so I was more engaged in that aspect of it. This year I casually talked to a few but mostly spent the time wandering around. It seems like a great...
I’m a low/no debt kind of guy so this idea would be a hard no for me. I booked a Dall hunt last year for 2025. I put down the required 25% and then just cash flowed a high yield savings account to cover the remaining amount when the hunt arrives. Basically 2.5 years to cash flow it. Can I do...
I personally use my road bike on a smart trainer as mentioned above. You can take the bike off and use it outside. They make wheel-on trainers and wheel-off, the latter being more expensive. Mine is an older wheel-on trainer and I use it all the time with the Zwift app. I love it.
If you...
