    Taxidermist when is enough enough?

    Depends on how good of friends you are. If you’re legit friends, you tell him your concerns as you’ve presented them to the forum, and give him an opportunity to make it right with the understanding that if it’s not done then n a timely manner, you are moving your business. If he’s just...

    Mountain lions are on the verge of becoming endangered species in California!

    Really?

    Enclosed / Cargo Trailer Type

    I have a flatbed with a dropped tail, and I drag it on ranch roads all the time. If I had it to do over again, I would not go with that configuration.

    Baking soda for scent control

    Glad you can discern my level of experience, and how much time I've put into my craft from a brief internet interaction, yet remain in opposition to "glittering generalities". Of course there is some tolerance, and there is no never, and no always, but in glittering general if they smell you...

    Mountain lions are on the verge of becoming endangered species in California!

    There's lots of "special" status in CA. Mountain Lions are the only big cat on the planet with both an expanding population, and range. They are truly remarkable animals. If you haven't read "Path of the Puma" by Jim Williams, I highly recommend it.

    Baking soda for scent control

    As a whitetail hunter for 37 years, and a whitetail guide for nearly 20 years, I will tell you that if they smell you, your chances go way down, and as someone who has read the research, and watched the dog tests that they've done on scent control products, I can tell you that the only one that...

    Baking soda for scent control

    But again...if you feel it works for you, I don't have any issue with you choosing to use it, if it makes you feel like it increases you chances, then it probably does just because of the confidence. You do you.

    Baking soda for scent control

    What would you say if I told you I have similar anecdotal stories and I don't use any scent control at all? I've seen both deer, and coyotes screw up when I know they had my wind...I don't know why they mess it up, but they do, and it's not because I have done any sort of scent control, because...

    A hard lesson to learn on shot placement and waiting.

    Is it allowed to use tracking dogs for game recovery in MT?

    Colorado wilderness crowding

    I actually corrected that mistake in a later post, and if you dig into the numbers, you will see that there is some conflict because at some point in the early 2000’s there was a change in reporting methodology that inflated the numbers somewhat from that point on. I haven’t been able to find...

    Baking soda for scent control

    No, that’s not my contention at all. I used to be a believer. I wanted all the products I bought, and all the measures I went to to be working, and I convinced myself they must help, but then I got in to tracking dogs, and saw the amazing things they can do. It got me to researching, and I...

    Baking soda for scent control

    Count me a damn fool. I have no issues with those who wish to reduce their scent signature, it gives them the confidence to do what they do. I just recognize the futility of "reduction" either they smell you, or they don't...doesn't really matter how much of you they smell, and if they get...

    California game management

    No, I've been twice, and brought all my stuff back with me so that I don't have to go back for anything.

    California game management

    And to be clear, I'm not necessarily bagging on CA's lack of management from the perspective of the effects it has on their deer, but more on how if flies in the face of the North American Model, and is based off emotion instead of available science. When you change the depredation relief...

    California game management

    Wildlife Services from the USDA is forced to manage your cats because the management was taken from the state agency, and instead of cat hunting generating revenue for general conservation, as they would do if there were tags, they cost the tax payers $30 million...brilliant. Not to mention...

    California game management

    I think your idea of Texas for the sake of the comparison is skewed. The vast majority of our deer are not in the farming areas of the state, and while we do have some hound hunting in the state, hunting cats with hounds isn’t big. Those “kitties” are there in the numbers they are because...

    California game management

    That’s an interesting theory, but Texas stands as a stark contradiction. We have more deer than anywhere, and in incredible densities in suburban areas, yet our cat numbers, as well as their distribution has remained pretty much static for quite some time. From the outside it sure looks like...
