Naming every buck that gets killed despite never seeing the deer before killing him.

I bought a Barnett Ghost 350 for about $500. I haven't had a chance to kill anything yet but its extremely accurate. I can consistently hit the 2 inch circle on my target out to 60 yards. So far I...

Age should not warrant special treatment within the hunting community. A hunter is a hunter. We should'nt reward someone because he put in his or her time. What makes his or her time any more...

Here is something that should give you a feel of the point creep problem. Wyoming issues by FAR the most non-resident sheep tags of the western states. Guys with max points now have 18 points. ...

Some of the most productive areas in CA you can actually buy the tag every year......no draw needed. Many of the wilderness areas in the B zones will produce trophy class bucks each year for those...

Every year you hear about some idiot that fires his gun off in the direction of some movement... My thoughts are that even that idiot will see the orange before he shoots. If there's a firearms or...

I have enough experience to know I don't like being shot at. Those who think blaze orange doesn't work might not have enough experience.

Montana has squared Bonus Points for the draw. So your name goes in once for the year and squared for your points. You can draw on year one, if you are lucky.

A loin cloth at 12,000 ft might be a little chilly.

I usually ride in my Circle Y; I love it.

There's a really nice tack shop in Frannie, WY.

Well, UH, that is an interesting way to look at it. However that is not how a random draw works. The only way you can increase your odds over time in a unit is to have bonus or preference points. ...

Hope it's okay, I'm gonna throw in my 2 cents on the draw odds discussion.
