    What are the odds this is a micro-chipped Antler?

    Chipped horns have been around for a long time. Moment they move, warden gets a notification and can track it. They are used all over the Jackson area this time of year to catch all the shit heads that come and poach the forest and refuge before may 1 each year. Idaho guy was just sentenced 6k...

    Pack Mules??

    If you have extra time this summer, you could check out Cody and LeRee at Royaltine. They offer a couple long weekender packing clinics, just show up and learn on their stock in western MT. They've been teaching packing for nearly 30 years and know how to teach it. I worked for them for 5...

    Electric fences

    I have left them in there all day while hunting with zero issues. I think a big key to that is a big corral with good feed, and some trees if possible for them to stand by during the day etc. A lot of days ill do a morning hunt, and come back by camp for the heat of the day, then tie them up...

    Electric fences

    agree with what is said above.. just depends on how well you know your stock. Ive left mine in an electric for 24hrs+, with the electric not even hooked up with zero issues. Now if I have other horses im not familiar with, Im at least going to turn it on, or switch them out. 4 horses...2 in 2...

    Electric fences

    I would suggest copper or aluminum, not rebar. Much better conductivity for a ground. There's a reason all ground rods are copper for home installations and all power poles have copper ground wire. You can find lightweight aluminum ground rods as well, or you can buy a copper one and cut it down...

    Wyoming Thorofare Elk Questions

    September, 1st rifle, you are basically guaranteed to get into elk. They havent been pushed or shot at yet. All the guides have their opening day spots where they know elk are every year for openers; That does not guarantee you a big bull though. If you look at photos, you will see far more...

    Electric fences

    You can build a pretty easy lightweight system. Ive left my horses in this all day and night with no issues. The charger came with my bear fence kit, It doesn't pack a big punch so i use it on the horse fence, and have the bigger AN90 version for my bear fence around camp. I bought lightweight...

    Legalized robbery that needs to stop.

    Funny how the guy from Alabama who never has to shovel snow, seems to think he deserves the same treatment as residents who deal with much higher costs of living and winter 6+months out of the year. . If I want to know more about marrying a cousin, ill ask his advice, otherwise I just laugh at...

    Legalized robbery that needs to stop.

    The Supreme Court in 1896 gave all state's that authority under the Public Trust Doctrine. Greer v. Connecticut, 161 U.S. 519 (1896) "In Greer, the Supreme Court expanded the PTD to include wildlife. Specifically, the Court concluded that states held all the wildlife within their borders in...

    Careers

    Lineman has been mentioned... Been a good career for me. I work remotely from home in WY inspecting california powerlines via drone photos for issues (new aspect of the industry), and make more than i ever did working in the field. IF I was in my 20s, I would be contracting in cali making 400K+...

    New Peax sleeping bag

    100% .. you can find their "revolutionary" headlamp on alibaba for under $10/unit... then they buy bulk, get free branding and boxing all done in China, then pump it up nearly 1000% to sell here... no wonder they can give so much free sh** to influencers to pump at will as the best new thing. I...

    Alec Baldwin shooting

    We had a local Marine, killed in action, on the final pull out when Biden pulled troops. Baldwin made comments on his social that because the family was pro-trump, he basically deserved to die. The family received threats and hatred from baldwins followers telling them their Son, Brother...

    Generac generators for the home?

    I am a lineman. And yes, when we would turn power off for an electrician to install generators, we would check the transfer switch if we could when we came back to re-energize after they got proper inspections done. But during an outage, especially in certain areas of the country, consumers will...

    Generac generators for the home?

    The rural co-op i worked for had about 30,000 meters i believe. And though the meter department was constantly replacing them with newer Twacs models that can be controlled remotely, there was still plenty of older digital ones in the system, which seeing a burned out display was not out of the...

    Generac generators for the home?

    Not sure what you mean.. im not an electrician, so i have no clue what goes into installing a generator and the process. All I'm saying is, many lineman have died due to people turning a generator on during outages and not having it properly installed Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk

    Generac generators for the home?

    Meter displays aren't reliable. Lots of older styles get burned out. So don't base power on/off just cause you can't see numbers on a digital display. I responded to plenty of power out calls cause someone looked at their meter and said power was off, but in reality power was on and they had an...

    First Lite Unc Foundry

    Yes, used it elk hunting all late fall into the snow. . Still wear it nearly daily in winter now. Incredibly warm, I like the big pockets that you can get things in and out of with gloves on etc. It is not light, so I wouldnt plan on doing much with it if you plan on hiking a bunch. I was...
