    Pre Rut Cow elk hunt Nevada

    The best way to hunt them is with a buddy or two to help haze them out of their mid-day bedding haunts. I'm old and a native Nevadan, and have tried about all methods. You need to SCOUT a lot before the hunt and realize that the bow hunters have them all worked up and spooked immediately before...

    Angled or Straight Spotting Scope

    Bingo! Angled is easier to use under most circumstances. With a straight you have to bring the scope up farther to provide viewing. The angled scope can be much lower; you can look downward and stoop down a bit if necessary, as in a blind.

    Perception of Pain & Discomfort

    There is no easy hunting here. It's all tough and involves a lot of hiking up and down rough volcanic mountains. Also, our hunting big game prospects are in the tank. Every big game species is on a highly limited quota, even for residents. I haven't drawn a resident deer tag for four years now...

    I've been trying to find information regarding posting anything political. Is it permitted, and if so, to what extent? Thank you in advance for educating me. ;)

    Big Toe Joint Pain

    Get on a regimen of Allopurinol. I had a horrible first attack, and went on steroids to quell it, then was put on daily Allopurinol. Pork and Processed meats are the culprits. Canned fish like sardines and salmon...and my favorite pizza topping, anchovies will bite your big toe also. I have...

    Non resident Nevada Mule deer tag questions

    I'm a 76 y/o Native Nevadan and have not drawn a tag for the last five years. I have 20+ Nelson sheep points, 19 CA variety Bighorn sheep, 8 antelope points, and have not drawn Any resident tag for years. Las Vegas with all the new population from CA and NY is gobbling up all the big game...

    Ruger American Predator 22-250

    I just ordered one. I'm an occasional predator hunter , now on a small fixed income budget. I can call coyotes right out of my back yard. I have a Burris 4.5-14 FF II sitting around to put on top. Years back I got an American standard model for my grandson's step brother, since my grandson was...

    Africa Safari Recommendation

    Right. That list encompasses two safaris, and Tanzania will be about 2/3 of the total expense if you just shoot a Grantie.

    Old, but New Here

    I migrated here finally after some lurking. There's a lot of knowledge here, and I am not up to speed on all the new offerings and plastic. It's a great learning experience for someone with a lot of old experience. :cool:

    Remington - Ilion, NY plant closing

    It was only a matter of time for them to move. Why stay in one of the most expensive states to do business and one antagonistic to your product? And, why stay where the workforce has an entitlement attitude, fostered by the leftist politicians who pander to unions? I hope Big Green moves and...
