    After all the "stuff" I bought this year, I am sitting this one out. When I have to try and come up with something I just have to have, it is time for a break.

    When to quit?

    Yeah, if I had your hunting record I would have quit many years ago. I don't know what keeps you going. I enjoy the experience, but getting up at 3 a.m., the gas, the equipment and tag expense, the being cold/hot, wet, etc... I gotta have some return on my investment.

    Wyoming Mule deer units

    The winter of '22/'23 wiped out a large part of the herd in G/H... and much of western and southern WY. Definitely not what they needed.

    Wow... I had no idea PA was such a draw. Crazy. You aren't referring to elk apps?

    Do you take a chain saw with you

    I switched to a Milwaukee M18 electric chain saw... for quietness, ease of use and no mess with gas. Wouldn't go back!

    Let them grow?

    So they ruin it for the residents. Take the Eastern states and send 20,000 hunters to their state to shoot all their yearling whitetails and see how much they appreciate it. I hate it.

    Let them grow?

    You don't. The reason we have so few big bucks any more. So many people shooting 2-3 year old bucks now.

    Bergara Ridge Carbon Wilderness or Browning X-Bolt Speed SR

    I don't believe that is correct. I bought my first X-Bolt the first run when they came out and have been buying them ever since. My newest just this year. I have not seen one on the market with the coating for several years now. Also: My three most accurate rifles are X-Bolts... and they out...
