    Arizona does away with auction tags

    Thanks. Similar to a lot of states or the ones that I’ve looked into. Seems sort of sillly not to ear mark all that money to go back to sheep instead of using it for whatever they please.

    Arizona does away with auction tags

    I can see the argument to both sides of why its better for it to go away and better for it to be around. One thing that bother's me, and this just may be my personal perception, is that auction tags have seemed to turn sheep into a status symbol taking away the special experience that is hunting...

    Cat Recipes?

    We just substitute it in pork recipes and never had a problem. It's just like cooking wild pork but a bit leaner.

    Pretty intense hunt…. Video

    I wouldn't say it's the best moose float hunting video out there. I've got plenty of critiques. They definitely had luck on their side with the encounters they had. Overall they did a decent job of filming and got to experience the type of trip that is very few and far between. If you've done...

    fish recipes

    Keeping the slime off of filets will help. Another thing to do is soak fillets in vinegar, a trick to remove that fishy taste that bothers probably 50-75% of people. I can eat fish for breakfast, lunch, and dinner but my wife not so much. She has gotten over her pickiness as well as we have...

    Mountain Goat Books?

    You have any idea where to get a copy of that book by Ace Sommerfeld? I talked to the company that printed it a while back and they quit printing it years ago and didn’t have a clue where I could find a copy.

    Mountain Goat Books?

    These were pretty good, I enjoyed the whole series and thought it was about as informational for hunters as any podcast or book could be.

    Mountain Goat Books?

    Been trying to find that book for years for anything less than the prices you listed. Kicking myself for not just buying it 4 or 5 years ago before I knew I was going goat hunting.

    Alaska DIY drop camp question

    Until you've been around a dead mature AK bull and their sheer size, and actually handled and packed one a little bit, a solo hunt is probably not a good idea. I'm not saying it's not doable as it certainly is, but I can promise you there is no other animal in North America that requires the...

    Alaska Draw

    Drew 358 myself. Pretty stoked about it. I think I’ve planned it about 5 times over the last year or so. Still would like to talk to someone who’s hunted it before.

    Kings rain gear

    Anybody have any experience with the Odin or Paramount rain layers? Thinking about going with one of them but can’t decide which to go with. Which one is the most waterproof? They both claim 20,000 waterproofness but not the same breathability. Coming from a firstlite storm tight jacket, are...

    Alaska Draw Results

    Drew a goat tag but struck out on the rest. Really figured that the only thing I'd draw if I did would be a cow moose tag. Stoked for the goat permit!!

    JRE w/ Cam and Steve

    The loss off opportunity for anything in life, hunting in this example, is not due to the "celebrity' or "influencer" posting pictures doing obnoxious things or getting caught poaching. The loss comes from those who don't stand up for something cause it doesn't affect them, in their mind "why...

    JRE w/ Cam and Steve

    When have anti-hunters ever compromised on anything? When have they ever said "hunters voices matter, we should not poke them on trying to ban what they love to do"? Compromise, compromise, and compromise until one day you have nothing left. Hunting with hounds for bears and cats in practice...
