“I value the process more than the product. The scouting WAS the hunt.”
Man that’s been similar to my mantra all year. Loved this one.
Also, couldn’t help but recognize how down that herd is, and that there were only 2-3 200” bucks on the island. Pretty good example how having nearly zero buck...
I listened to your podcast with Randy! It was really good!
One thing I was curious about is how y'alls group may want to manage possible public outcry with worse hunting experiences when days per harvest nearly double in October seasons, even though the bucks may be there, just harder to find...

One thing I think that's missed in this overall conversation, and the point of @robby denning suggesting some Nov. hunting would be good in Idaho, is that the average hunter sees relatively the same quality of bucks on a Montana General as they do in an Idaho or Wyoming General hunt (including...
Yeah I think there was a lot of pushback on it from folks who like two tags in their pocket at once, but the primary reason they didn't shift the season dates backwards for deer in Colorado was because the Commission felt like the deer were already hunted for enough days a year...then they...
I just saw my first buck that had shed velvet two days ago in the headlights - a little 2x3 - on August 27th.
What are y'all seeing? Any losing velvet yet?
One thing that I think is overlooked in these conversations about APRs is the landownership makeup and general tags or not.
Near Lander, the implementation of 4 pt. APRs have reduced license sales and participation by 29% because it's a General tag and people will just opt out of buying a...
Looks like I came out the gates a little high. Going to be in the mountains this weekend but drop me a PM if you’d like it and I’ll get back to you Sunday night.
