    What generation do western hunters fall into?

    I'm definitely identify as Gen X even though I'm a millennial. . . My wife and I refer to ourselves as geriatric millennials.

    What generation do western hunters fall into?

    As the title says if you hunt out west resident or non resident what generation do you fall into? Trying to get a bead on rokslide age classes

    clothing made in China

    I guess a start is a start but man, how much do you spend a year on hunting clothes? Sure "every bit counts" but you harm china more if you looked at your whole life and cut out as much as you can! Even purchasing from other Asian countries is much better because most are at odds with China...

    Young/New Hunters, are you concerned about the future of hunting?

    This will rub some (probably many) wrong but here goes. Hunting will be fine. We are probably at or closing in on the apex of hunting pressure. I foresee things starting to fall off within 5 years 10 max. Why? Boomers. As recently as 2 years ago it was estimated that Boomers made up 1/3 of...

    Wyoming shed hunting update

    It would be interesting to see the states ownership of shed antlers challenged in court. Does the state retain ownership of elk hair when it is shed? Do they own elk droppings? Do they maintain ownership of cow elk skulls, or rib bones? Also why specify ownership on public ground? Are we...

    Wyoming Shed Hunting Bill Proposal

    I say if there going to license it then lets do bag limits as well. No more than 4 antlers per person per day! That might slow down the commercial people a little bit. Oh and no catch and release! Once you've picked it up you own it! Wouldn't want you stacking them in a hole to come back later!

    Side Hustle

    I flip houses, keep some as rentals, and am getting into paint striping parking lots this spring. Houses takes capital, but with some networking you could probably work that part out, buy the worst house on the block, put some sweat equity into making it nicer, and resell it. It fits into...

    Wyoming Shed Hunting Bill Proposal

    So now when I'm out hunting and come across a shed antler or antelope sheath I have to remember to purchase my licence ahead of time??? If they are going to do this then make it from may 1 to August 15th or something like that. That way when a 12 year old kid on his first hunt finds a shed we...

    Texas Gun Proposals

    So you think 14, 15, 16 year olds should be treated as adults??? Because every year in this country kids those ages are tried as adults! It's a nuanced conversation. But I think people look at what are some easy ways to potentially help reduce school shootings and mass shootings. Because...

    Texas Gun Proposals

    I'll field this one as I've done some looking into it. If you look at mass shootings and particularly school shootings ages generally run from 15 to 19ish. There are some 21 year olds mixed in but the trend heads down after 18. . . So some data supports this. But the counter to that is all...

    Turnkey cost poll for successful DIY elk hunters - All about the Benjamin's?

    So I'm weighing in only to give you some lower end numbers because I'm the kind of guy that doesn't need $4,000 glass. If he (or she) is good enough through my $300 binos then I'm getting closer, I'm not trying to determine if he's a 300 vs a 310 bull. Mainly because I'm probably already...

    Samsung TV Connected Itself to my Network??

    Is your apple tv via the stick that you place in the HDMI port? If so it's not far fetched that the stick feeding into your tv shares info with the TV. This allowing your tv to connect to the same network the apple tv is connected to. I'm doubting it's aliens or Russian hackers. Most likely...

    WY fee increase, DOA

    Maybe it's their way of getting some points burnt. . . Float some scary NR stuff every year or two and get more people to use their points instead of sitting on the sidelines collecting! I would love for them to move the application date back to May 1st, but then require you to apply if you...

    WY fee increase, DOA

    Big thank you to all of the RESIDENTS that spoke out against this (yes there were a lot and they are the ones who have voted that count). Without the lot of you who knows how these outfitter welfare bills would have gone!

    Travel insurance, u buying? Worth the cost?

    Started a few years ago with an Alaskan vacation. Several non refundable items so bought the insurance. . . Did again with a Disney world trip for the family. Couple hundred dollars gives me piece of mind. I got paid a basically my premium back on our Disney world trip because our flight...

    Acadia national park and Quebec city vacation ideas

    Thanks for the tips everyone, I'll be sending some PMs in the coming days with more questions for some of you. My wife makes fun of my time spend on rokslide. But after our Alaskan vacation planned almost exclusively from tips here, the first thing she said when we started thinking about this...
