    Weatherby is circling the toilet bowl

    I actually like the Monte Carlo style style sticks and that's why I shoot Weatherby rifles. In all honesty, if the 307 is a decent action, Weatherby will sell a lot of them.

    Utah muzzleloader no scope law

    I'm all for it. We've gotten more efficient at killing animals while the number of hunters is increasing.

    Latest on Wy Region G Deer success rates

    If we have another bad winter, the G&F will be forces to start shutting down hunts. Utah did this in the Book Cliffs in the early 90s

    Hunter Numbers and Health

    I think the numbers will start to die off in the next 2-3 years. Inflation is hitting the middle class hard and coupled with the increase in non-resident tag prices, number cannot stay where they are at. Some of the adult-onset hunters I work with are already starting to waiver. Most of them...

    OnX hypocrisy

    I don't disagree with you on all points. As a database manager, I'm able to view a lot of a data that the normal user doesn't have access to. Websites that track hunting points have access to to view user's points and what units are being viewed the most. That gives them an inside edge.

    OnX hypocrisy

    Was the public land accessible before his guiding company leases the private property? If not, he's keeping the status quo. If the public was accessible before he took over, he's going to lose a lot of customers. I switched to Go Hunt last year and this thread makes me glad that I switched.

    Vista selling all its Ammo companies to foreign entities

    Doesn't most of the powder come from foreign sources? And the primers too? Maybe (not likely) overseas production of ammo will be cheaper than importing half the components. Quality will most likely suffer.

    Looking for input on ELD-X bullet performance (w/ field pics)

    I shot a mule deer last year at 312 yard with a 300 WBY, 212 eld-x and mv of 2850. The buck was facing me on a downhill shot. There was a lot of internal destruction from his butthole forward. I never found the bullet but I wasn't looking too terribly hard either.

    CO wolves coming from ODFW

    Is there any hope that Arizona steps in and sues to stop the transfer? I think I remember a Newberg podcast where the Wildlife Biologist mentioned they were/would sue because the work Arizona is doing with the smaller Mexican wolf.

    Overcoming Fainting at Injury?

    Growing up my dad was a taxidermist and I helped him cape hundreds of animals. I also have a bad vasovagal syncope. I know it sounds weird but that's the lot I was given. If I have a blood draw, I make them lay me down or I get my knees up next to my chest. I've a lot more than the average...

    Idaho Possibly Capping DAV Tag Numbers

    While I agree the percentage should be higher, Idaho is doing better than almost all other western states when it comes to opportunities for DAVs. Even if they change nothing, vets can still get a hunting lisence for pennies on the dollar.

    Idaho elk draw system

    Maybe it's just me, but I don't think the overcrowding issue in certain units is the nonresidents fault. By statute, Idaho authorizes 16k(ish) elk tags to non residents. If someone is seeing 3k hunters in the Diamond Creek zone, 2500 of them were residents. That said, I think Idaho should go to...

    250 yards - 350 yards. I didn't have a rangefinder on me. Sorry.

    favorite antelope shoulder mount form?

    This is a McKenzie form I used when I mounted my antelope. Make sure you take enough hide if you want a wall pedestal.

    Here's an unedited photo I took 15 min after sundown tonight. This was at full power.

    Do you take a backup rifle on hunts?

    I had a Vortex scope crap out on me on my first guided hunt. Luckily, I decided to bring my backup rifle.
