    Glacier National Park in May

    I haven’t looked at the snow pack in that area but I know several years ago I was in that area in first week of June and basically the only thing that was open the visitor center. Most of the park was still under significant amounts of snow.

    CO 2023 Estimated Harvest is up

    I think the harvest reports a probably pretty accurate, within a margin of error of 5%. Why? Number one, a single person deciding to not be truthful on a survey is meaningless and it’s quite stupid of that person to think that they have any influence. That person would have to be able to...

    Long Range Lead Slinging Story on Meateater Podcast

    A couple years ago, opening morning of 1st rifle, I had a beautiful 6x6 bull at 650 yds. That’s way out of my comfortable range. I was able to move and get within 390 yds of said bull. 400 is my absolute maximum range. I had a solid rest but the bull was moving (just walking not running) and...

    Triathlon/Marathon/Endurance Sports Thread

    Got into endurance sports 2 years ago. I’ve ran a few marathons, done Olympic and half Ironman triathlons. This year I have a marathon in May, couple Oly distance triathlons throughout summer/early fall. Also have a few local shorter distance races (5k-10k). I like doing the shorter races...

    Why am I always tired?

    Lots of good advice on this thread. My first thought is you are burning the candle at both ends. Scale back your workout regimen a bit. I’m 39. A couple years ago I started training for marathons. I went all in and got consumed. Was running 60-70 miles a week. I was exhausted all the...

    Favorite National Park

    Man it’s hard to pick just one. I’ve been to 35 NP now and counting. Yellowstone is awesome and probably takes the cake if you want to see lots of wildlife. The Grand Canyon is breath taking and awe inspiring. Denali is Denali. I went there in September and the weather was perfect and the...

    Alaska Dall Sheep - Undersubscribed Non-Res Draw Hunts

    I’ve said this several times. Make ALL Dall sheep tags draw only for non-resident. You can go DIY or guided. Your choice if you draw. If you draw a tag, you cannot reapply for 5 years. If you fill the tag then you are done. You can never apply again. This is for non-residents only.

    Your Power Song...right now..

    Nah no brain damage. I used to listen to a lot of music. Then I started working in the emergency room and constant noise (alarms, ems radio, walkie talkies, screaming patients etc) overstimulated me. My favorite part of my day would be my drive to and from work. No radio. No noise. That...

    Creepy experiences in the backcountry

    So not really backcountry. I hunt a small parcel of land in N.C. it’s kind of in the middle of nowhere but you can drive to it. I have a small dry cabin on the land. The parcel I hunt has the ashes of two people scattered on it. They hunted the land religiously in the 80s and 90s before...

    Your Power Song...right now..

    I don’t need music to motivate or inspire me. I don’t listen to music when I work out. I don’t listen to music in the truck. I just go and do my thing.

    Bleed control - personal program

    You can have the best gear in the world and have taken all those cool classes, but you better have the mental fortitude to stay calm and function in a shitty situation. When someone is bleeding to death, there can be no hesitation, no second thoughts. For the average Joe, there is no reason...

    Miles on your old 7.3 diesel?

    Man I regret selling my 2000 F350. Best truck I ever owned. I paid 17k for it in 2008 and sold it for 24k in 2013. It had 160k on it then. My Dad bought a 2001 F350 in 2019. It had 180k in it. He paid 20k for it. He had to put a new water pump and new fuel lines in it but other than that...

    Dream hunts a 20 year old should build points for?

    I wouldn’t worry about points. Save money and go on dream hunts every few years. You will drop thousands in points in multiple states with net negative return. Take that money, put it in a high yield savings account and make 5% on your money. You could do decent hunts every 3-5 yrs (elk...
