    Do you tip your game processor?

    The last year I had my animals processed I took in a big mature cow elk, cost me $390 to get back 40#s of meat mostly ground. Claimed a hindquarters and shoulder were blown away. She was shot in the neck. I figure he was tipped enough, but karma was alive and well, the crook is now out of business.

    A health revolution brewing?

    I’m a poster child for not eating healthy, love my bbq, cokes, occasionally an ice cream 🍦, but at my age so what. We travel a lot, only been home about 5 months in the last 3 years so it’s easier to grab and go. At home or in a location for an extended time we usually eat venison and fresh...

    Talk to your children :(

    Sorry to hear that. Prayers to the family. We went through the bullying on Snapchat a couple years ago with my granddaughter being bullied. She was cutting on herself and talking about ending it all. We finally convinced her to give us names so we contacted the parents and showed them the posts...

    Just ordered a p365, which red dot you do guys like on them?

    Just got my wife a 365xl Rose Edition with red dot package. She loves it, just finished the Girl and a Gun Convention in Grand Junction where she was shooting daily for 3 days. Went from a 3 round 2.5” group at 10 yds to 3 rds touching. They’re great guns.

    Mortgages

    Both of my daughters are in home mortgages, this is their advice. Since you are a first time homebuyer, get with a mortgage broker and find out about your options for first time homebuyers. Just make sure the broker is familiar with the programs. They usually have reduced rates and potential...

    Court upholds warrants for F&W officers

    Been subjected to both ends, good and bad. Sitting in camp, dressed in regular clothing talking with friends, California GW drives his pickup into camp, slams on his brakes raising a lot of dust and jumps out. Practically runs over to us asking for our hunting licenses and demanding to check our...

    Mandatory Harvest Reporting

    I get a call from MFWP every year, also have a mandatory check station in one of the areas I hunt, makes it convenient. Utah has reporting on their website in my account pages, they also call in the years I get a tag. Each takes a couple minutes so no big deal.

    Your Opinion Needed.

    Initial thought, solution to a non problem. Not something I would bother with.

    Technology & efficacy = lost opportunity?

    Just messing with you, us OGs,(I’m 77 now) have to get our fun when we can. I had to give up archery and my 30-06 when my shoulder gave out, now it’s a 6.5CM Bergara or my Stag 10. I can’t run all over the mountains either, getting old is rough sometimes.

    Technology & efficacy = lost opportunity?

    I’m going to highlight my response here. You use a compound bow, therefore are overly reliant on technology, your words. Archery hunters have to deal with variables, don’t you when you use your compound bow? Since you follow Daniel Boone you must use a flintlock rifle and cast your own...

    Technology & efficacy = lost opportunity?

    Would you list what technology you use, I need to make sure I’ve got the correct amount. I definitely don’t want to do a disservice or take undo advantage to any animals I hunt.

    Missouri Breaks - Fuel

    There is gas available in Zortman, and a pretty well stocked store for such a small town.

    Think she’s a keeper….

    Nah, I knew it the day I got home from Nam and she was waiting, plus she’s put up with all my messed up BS all these years. This just reenforced it again.
