    Save the Wapiti in Fiordland, New Zealand

    For those interested: it appears that, at least outside the USA, motivated engagement and pressure can cause cooler heads to prevail. At least for now. Hard to imagine a US anti-hunting org backtracking like this. Next step is hopefully to come to a reasonable arrangement with F&B, and to...

    What would you say is the wildest part of Colorado?

    Weminuche or Uncompaghre Wildernesses. Cimarron river drainages are pretty spectacular. Weminuche you can really get lost in.

    More info on the matter. All of you have the opportunity to partake in this hunt... it's logistically challenging but worth it for the experience. We appreciate any support to help protect a cool part of Teddy Roosevelt's legacy. The antis have lost the plot, as usual. It's now easy and...

    I've emailed the organization to ask for an easier way to make the donations for internationals. I'll get that info for you in the meantime. Thanks so much for your willingness to support.

    Save the Wapiti in Fiordland, New Zealand

    Apparently the antis are mobilizing worldwide. The essentially largest and most well-funded anti-hunting org in New Zealand is suing to force the removal and elimination of the free-ranging wapiti/elk herd in far southwest New Zealand. These animals are mostly elk/red deer hybrids, but their...
