    NM Barbary Sheep units 29 & 30

    I don't know anything about those units but I went with a buddy on his OTC hunt last year and had a blast. Couple things that you probably already know but I found out the hard way. Every damn thing down there sticks or pokes so good heavy duty boots help a lot, theres too much cactus to try to...

    Bikes in wilderness areas?

    Hey all I recently heard of a bill that would make it legal for bicycles to be used in wilderness areas. Curious what everyone thinks of this proposal and if anyone has anymore information on it.

    Unit 81 Colorado Snowfall

When I was a kid we could count on snow by mid October, now more often than not I would say significant snow doesn't start to make a difference until at least 3rd. We usually still...

    Tips for hunting dark timber

    Alot of good thoughts! I like to run game trails, they are usually quieter walking and the animals obviously use them. One more thing you will find is that alot of the big noises you think must be an elk are actually squirrels and elk can come in damn near totally silent! good luck!

    Backwoods Hygiene #realtalk

    I feel your pain. Nothing can take the fun out of a hunt like a little chaffing downstairs. I've stolen the Desitin from my kids diaper bag before but it doesn't prevent monkey butt it just makes it feelbetter. WHere do you guys find "Glide"? #nomorerokslidehashtagsplz #leavethattotwitter...
