    Most challenging N.A. bow hunt?

    AZ Ibex in the Florida Mountains, not outfitted

    Is this the end of Defiance? My pre23-beck action just went up in value.

    Sounds like PR damage control. They bought a company, raised prices to be able to justify it then asked everyone to be thankful for it. Just calling a spade a spade.

    A dramatic price increase means the company was insolvent to begin with, new owner did no due diligence, or the company has been laden with debt after the purchase to finance the deal perhaps, causing the dramatic increase. Who knows, I won't be buying an overpriced action.

    BUYER: Don't buy from SakoArms.com. Total scam

    Website looks better than some of the recent scam sites I've come across. However the #1 giveway I have seen for these scam sites is taking crypto as payment. Another good way of picking through them is "in stock" guns you literally cannot find elsewhere in this post covid/seems like no one is...

    2022 AZ ELK Draw

    I'm still dumbfounded mandatory reporting isn't required. Makes no sense.

    Gen. Colin Powell passed away this morning. Rest in peace Sir.

    I wasn't saddened. I've been told by the previous generation he was a great general, but he towed the line and lied to get us into Iraq.

    Arizona ban on trail cams

    I went and watched the video, pretty sad all around. 23 dudes couldn't get him closer than 960yds as he was having trouble breathing just standing up ...on top of that they all seemed proud of this canned hunt, what have we come too, but it's probably worst in Utah

    Arizona ban on trail cams

    From my perspective, cameras in AZ are a major problem. As alluded to earlier, some outfitters run 500+ cameras, that's absolutely insane to kill a few deer a year. That's on top of sharing information with other outfitters who run cameras AND paying for locations of deer. Yes people pay for...

    WY. Proposed Changes to NR Fees & Quotas

    I agreed with R first, but we as sportsman should manage for good opportunity for the next generation, even though hunter recruitment in your own state is going down year after year. If it's not a count road why would the govt pay to maintain it? Sounds like a road the rancher owns/maintains...

    WY. Proposed Changes to NR Fees & Quotas

    Yes I went and looked it up, the Federal government through grants and funds, paid ~$46million into the ID F&G according to the annual report, more than the total of what it was able to generate on their own. For roads, ID gets back $1.06 for every $1 they put in from the govt, one of the few...

    WY. Proposed Changes to NR Fees & Quotas

    So NR actually pay the majority of F&G budget in Idaho, not the R as you claim. We, yes "We" as sportsman pay for ID, as well as other states wildlife through the Pittman–Robertson Act. Your argument about county roads is laughable. Without NR buying licenses in ID the portion you will get will...
