    Newberg says a $40 elk tag (or whatever it cost) is a $25,000 elk tag for residents.

    He's right. We all take a huge pay cut, and have mountain ski town expenses in places that are not. Quit complaining about the cost of your elk tags, we are paying $20-40,000 more a year to live here than you are in Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Texas, Florida or damn near anywhere outside of big cities.

    Swarovski EL Ranges 8x42's came in today.

    Three things strike me after an hour of messing with them: 1. Yes they are pure sex for the eyes. 2. The LRF is not as intuitive as using a straight LRF unit. 3. The strap system pisses me off. I had zero intention of ever using the strap system or I would be pissed.

    2023 BLM GRAZING RATES

    BLM GRAZING RATES 2023 I think this is the right table. A lot of guys complain about livestock on federal lands, they have been on federal lands for over 150 years. The BLM used to be known as the General Land Office and the US Grazing Service. AUM is animal unit month, so each month a...

    Bought a F-350 2004 Ford Econoline family/troop carrier today

    It was from a military surplus type sale. $5500, has 30,400 miles on it. 13 passenger, cloth seats, needs new tires and a battery. Body is ok, but going to have to sand it down and repaint some spots where the paint has bubbled from sitting in the sun. I reckon it ought to go another...

    An open letter to Optics companies

    I was standing on a hill the other day and fighting a pair of 8x42's into submission. I am myopic 20-450. I know I am not alone. So a 50 year old hunter (no shortage of those) that used to be able to do about anything with glasses on really struggles to use 8x42s with 20mm of eye relief...

    I got another couple knives from Tim Olt.

    The Orange ones, are the new ones. The only one that’s not from Tim is the black knife on the bottom. The design on top is a Loveless Nessmuk or Bully. The red and orange handled knives are Loveless drop point hunters. The bottom knife is an actual Loveless design knife, not made by Tim. The...

    Yuma and El Centro

    A friend of mine got a pretty decent and interesting job in El Centro. It looks like it is about 60 miles to Yuma the closest town in Arizona from El Centro. Since it is all interstate is this a viable option? Are their nice places in Yuma to spend a couple years living?

    Has anyone ever done an overview of the 15x56 to 25x80 type binoculars?

    I have owned 15x56 Vortex vultures or whatever they were (sucked). Used the Bushnell 18x56 and loved them (in the store). Owned Steiner 25x80's (sucked out of columination). Interested in some of the other options.

    New Mexico 2023 Draw Thread

    Hoping they are efficient and early this year. I don't have any intel, but I am hoping before the 20th. That way I don't inadvertently apply too early in Utah for points only when I wished I had applied for tags. Because of tag over- saturation.

    It is acting like it doesn't know me. And I don't want to start a new account and possibly lose my points.

    Jeep Gladiator, does it suck?

    We are trying to decide if we need another full size truck or something else. The Toyota/Nissan mid-size trucks aren't big enough for a family of 5. It will be my daily driver, get a hard camper shell (I call it a topper where I am from). Mostly be driven about 8-10 miles one way on black...
