    Colorado wolf introduction

    I am no genetic expert but there is data available out there. There are not as many subspecies as you believe. Again there is someone out there who has or is doing research on this. One of the wolves released in Idaho or Yellowstone (not sure) ended up traveling back up into Northern...

    Colorado wolf introduction

    Just my opinions here... I am by no means pro wolf but living in MN and having a family that owns a large farm in WI wolf country I don't agree with these facts. The size of the deer antlers has nothing to do with Wolves, at least I haven't seen any studies on it. My father still talks...

    There’s a special spot in hell for poachers....they’re punishment, Pat Durkin sits down and tells them stories all day.

    I actually don't mind. Bit of a stutter but the guy has a lot of good things to say. For all who don't like listening to him, he does put out some pretty damn good reading material.

    Good factual documentary on wolves

    From what I am seeing, two quotes come to mind here, "Deer make people stupid" and "Wolves make people crazy"

    I understand they are more aggressive then black bears. Blows my mind though that people will avoid areas just to not cross paths with one. It's a hell of a success story that we are even seeing their population grow and expand like this. I suggest you get used to the idea of them being...

    Idaho’s Selway-Bitterroot Early Rifle

    Don't let all this negativity get you down. I picked up the tag last year just because it happened to open the day after my WY antelope hunt was done. I had never hunted the area, just researched maps and we were able to get into elk. We car camped and actually got into elk about a mile from...

    What State?

    If you want a true Northern brute then you should be looking at WI or MN.

    Bachelor Groups, Northern NH

    I don't know when your season opens but you potentially have yourself a chance to fill a tag early. If you can pattern them before they break up and find out what they are feeding on it will be easy to ambush them between bedding and feed. There are so many variables that play into when and...

    Selway elk

    The Selway is steep and thick. Hunted the early season last year and had over a foot of snow fall the first day. Really sucked getting back to camp only to find our tent collapsed. Prepare for everything. Be prepared to put on a lot of miles. Did A LOT of walking but found some elk. Just...

    Nocturnal Buck

    I agree with a lot that is said on here. I myself am yet to run into a buck that is completely nocturnal. I hunt in Buffalo Cty WI so I see my fair share. If you find a bucks main bedding area you will usually find multiple big beds. They get up a move around. How many times depends on the...

    Buying different species tags for elk hunt...bad idea?

    Did it last year. Didn't come home with an elk but my wifes new favorite dish involves antelope.

    What do you wish you’d done differently on your first western hunt?

    I actually went on my first elk hunt with my father last year. Best time of my life! The one thing I wish I would have done is practice more scenario shooting and shooting while standing on a slope. I have jump shot many deer in a thick swamp but its a whole new game when you are standing on...
