Is it worth the trip if hunting on public and fighting the orange swarms? Oct is not possible for me so I’m considering my options for 3rd week of Nov.
Ok… after cleanout how do you most effectively butcher these things? My dad did one when I was a kid. Always thought I might again. In my job, I participate in a lot of turtle survey and conservation activities. So its a bit of a mental hurdle to follow through, not least which I would be deemed...
Part A: In my memories mostly, like in their nursery when I was able to rock my infant daughters to sleep 14 and 16 years ago.
Lots of places out west I love but none I get back to often enough, some if ever, to lay claim to as my official happy place - yet. So, Part B: In my daydreams.
If only there was another activity with adverse ecological side effects to wildlife known to biologists that could be addressed by eliminating the incentive….🤔 (full hijack.. 🫣)
AZ deer is getting dropped from my app plan today. Getting to be too much from every angle and I need to simplify somewhere. The base license is excessive for a tag I have no intention of hunting this year, and even if I did, would be veeeerrry unlikely to draw this year or anytime soon. By the...
WARNING to all who hate spiders. THESE are common in Colorado and surrounding states. DO NOT APPLY for licences in these areas if you want to live. That is all.
Between elk and antelope I have a combined 5 decades (plus) of points. Pretty stupid I didn’t use my elk points this year… would have drawn 🤦🏻♂️
Pretty stupid I havn’t used my antelope points too… could have drawn any of the past 5-10 years… 🤷🏻♂️
Stupid is as stupid does.
Dive into the way draws are run, nonresident quotas, recent or proposed changes to each state’s system, licence trends, odds, fees, years to draw, and the cost-benefit of accumulating points for a given state/species. Do not simply buy into what the states themselves tell you. Easy example is...
Ha, yeah I’d love to but I’m gonna be very pressed for time and weighed down with a bull and a buck if all goes well. It would be a great time. You gonna try? I do definitely want to get back there, and soon.
Well for once a strategy actually worked. I got a 1st rifle elk tag in a decent unit and a plains muzzleloader deer tag. Colorado bound! Well…. unless I draw something else in the meantime, as I’ve got a few more LE / low odds irons in the fire….
Added a deer point and got a 3rd choice license for my back pocket. Should be able to combine with my chosen elk unit if I draw that too, which would make for a hectic and fun trip west.
This is not accurate. 1st instar (larval) ticks do not have nor transmit Lyme disease. They must feed on an infected animal, typically a mouse, 1st. Those “dust” like, patches of newly hatched almost invisible ticks are thus very annoying (can get everywhere, even between fingers and toes) but...
