    Recession Coming?

    I agree. It's all a cycle. A close family member is a financial advisor and they look at historical trends and its fairly consistent with ebb and flow of bull and bear markets over time. I trust their advice and in down years It's often best time to invest because prices are cheaper. But I'm...

    Kill or Tranqulize if you had the option?

    I do understand what you mean. However, witnessing a majestic mule deer in its natural habitat or seeing that massive rack skylined on a ridge right at dawn, sends adrenaline pulsing through my veins almost equal to squeezing the trigger that I sometimes wish I could see that again the next day...

    Most Improved Award - #1 improvement you’ve made

    Shooting with a stabilizer and learning how to utilize back muscles better. I tried both eyes open but I shoot right handed and I'm left eye dominant, didn't work well for me.

    taxidermy bills

    $600 - $750 for deer shoulder mount where I live in SD. Last one I did a couple years ago was $550. That was a 160-165 inch mule deer. Unless I crack 180 I won't do shoulder mount again. I wasn't big fan of euro mounts but I have a guy that will do it for $75 and father-in-law likes woodworking...

    What are the top factors determining where you live?

    Same for me. Growing up I said I would never live in a small city. Well my wife got a great job, my job is easy to get wherever, and making it work. But we live 5 min from city limit and have hunting spots and places to practice shooting bow right outside city limits so I'm ok. Also I live in...

    Kill or Tranqulize if you had the option?

    I for sure want the meat from the animal I harvest and the antlers or horns. However, shoot and release would be awesome for one reason. I have had a couple hunts where I shot my mule deer on day one of a multi day hunt. I spend the rest of the time by processing the meat instead of continuing...

    Fatigue / Pain Management on long hunts

    Relying on corticosteroid injections can do more harm than good in the future. The injection can sometimes accelerate breakdown of the joint structures. May want to visit more with your physician on long term implications. But yes they definitely do help to reduce the pain. Lots of great info...

    As a physical therapist I highly recommend this! Helps with pain but may also help to reduce inflammation and injury.

    Why Guys Quit on the Mountain

    The only time I quit when hunting was when I wounded a mule deer (arrow was just low right behind shoulder, prolly just a graze) and felt defeated. I searched for several hours just to make sure but once I knew I had wounded an animal it felt like I had my chance and missed. Didnt feel like I...

    What state would you live in to own and live on hunting ranch

    I would choose Wyoming for the variety of game, the way they treat residents, and the low population density! Couldn't beat that combo for me. I wouldn't even worry so much about size of ranch as just being a resident would be great!

    longest antelope pack out?

    I think the same for me. Luckily my few have been on private that could drive right up to them.

    Throwing money away at non-resident draws

    Thank you for the input. MT, CO, and WY would be closest states for me. Which would be best to try and apply? I know CO has OTC and some 1st rifle draws would be easy to get. I would love to try archery but it sounds like it's a zoo there during archery season. I don't mind sharing the woods and...

    Throwing money away at non-resident draws

    I'm 31 and I haven't started yet for NR. Don't think I ever will to be honest. Im building them as a resident and even some resident tags are a pipe dream for my state.

    Throwing money away at non-resident draws

    Well where I live I think my chances of getting struck by lighting would be higher

    elk hunt - archery or rifle

    I vote archery for closer encounters that are expected, hearing those bugles, and having private without the pressure will make your odds increase greatly!
