    Recommend 8+ Seat Vehicle?

    Only 7 seats but you can find the bench seats to make it 8 in mini vans. Sure no 4x4 and no towing but man, we've put 160,000 miles on a 2017 Chrysler Pacifica and outside of tires, breaks, and oild changes I've had two issues. 1. A $250 sensor issue at about 115,000 miles. Mechanic said it...

    Acquiring Landowner Permission via Letter

    I have had some success going this route, I have about a 30% response rate and about 5% success rate. Some responses are "sorry the land is leased or rented and the renter controls the hunting rights" which is understandable. Things I believe help: 1. My letter includes an about me with a...

    Cancun fishing advice

    I'm going to just south of Cancun for 6 days in March on a couples trip with my wife and our friends (military guy and teacher). Looking to do some fishing while there and wondering if anyone has one advice on who to head out with down there. Just want to spend a half day or full day on the...

    2023 OFFICIAL ELK MEAT POLE THREAD

    As they fell. . . Should have killed two cows the day before that would have required a lot of work packing, but a game and parks survey flight ran the herd about 1.5 miles off and got them all riled up. As luck would have it, we tagged out the next day in a lull between 60mph winds! Best...

    CO Mtn Lion hunting ban ballot initiative

    Start now while you have a chance. Propose changes to ballot initiatives to make them harder, get a constitutional right to hunt passed while you can if you don't have one currently! Make it as hard as possible to take your rights away instead of sitting back and hopping it goes alright!

    Wyoming G&F, how de we get a voice as NR's?

    I've watched buzz fight for non-residents and help them hunt just to get crapped on by other residents and non residents. He's a no nonsense guy and doesn't care about your feelings he cares about facts. When it comes to conservation I'd take Buzz over 99% of hunters any day!

    Taboo Topics of Discussion

    Again for context I don't personally suffer from either anxiety or depression but have a wife and child that do, so take my comments with that in mind. In addition to stating you should find someone to talk to, preferably a trained counselor, I would say don't get hung up on the first counselor...

    Taboo Topics of Discussion

    No I don't. . . But wife has a healthy dose of anxiety and my oldest has struggled with both. Best advice, talk to someone! Preferably a good counselor. Medication is an option and definitely has a place. But talking to someone, especially someone trained to help can be a huge help. And...

    Enclosed trailer build/condensation

    We insulated our roof with spray foam, we have the two standard side vents and a roof vent as well. We use a Big mr. Buddy heater that has a fan on it. It seems like if there's any breeze outside we are getting enough air movement to minimize condensation. Always, ALWAYS have a carbon...

    Most expensive thing you lost while hunting

    Lost a bird dog worth about $5,000 in 2002 money. . . Well I didn't but the buddy I was hunting with did. Was a all sorts of champion pedigree lab, had been professionally trained and won numerous awards/trials and was 5 or 6 years old at the time, earning nice stud fees. Dog was amazing...

    Idahoans do not like out-of-state hunters

    As everyone has said there are always "those" people. But I will say I've interacted with both NR and R in the Idaho back country and had good experiences with most. The exception was a group of 20 something kids that hiked up and set their camp up about 300 yards above us, after talking to us...

    Wall tent size for family of 5

    If I go with Davis I'll just tell the wife we can go to Ikea in Denver when the tent is finished(4.5 hour drive from me). Then I'll drop her off and go get my tent!!! I'll just make sure she understands that space in the pickup may be limited!

    Friday Funny!

    The commitment to do all 189 of them is impressive. If I'm the judge, I assess a penalty of the difference the heifers bring at auction to the market average that week. Then I assess a penalty against the owner of the heifers to be paid back to the offenders for lost graze! It's bleached...
