I had to really dig to find a few pics. I got my moose in 1993 after 17 years of waiting. I kinda got screwed because I had to wait 5 years before I could apply again, and preference points started before I could start to apply. So I'm over 30 years in and still waiting on that second moose...

Great story and a world-class buck. Big congrats. That's magazine worthy stuff and thanks for sharing it here on MM. Well written. Is it possible you shot off the main beam? I bet you do a full body mount on him. He has a great body and that'd be a great mount. Thanks for the great...

I'm blacklisted; no invite. My daughter got an invitation, and she hasn't gotten a license for years. I haven't heard from anyone else that was invited. It always makes me wonder if they have an identified audience and want to make sure they get the desired responses for their presentations...

Numbers 8-10 are really good. If you are like the SE region, it could also be said that the G&F (biologists) also seem to just "experiment" with seasons and management changes. And when the change doesn't give the desired result, they just quickly change to another strategy. #3 is likely the...

It's on private lands, so I can use more than one barrel. I use one vertical barrel. Fill it with popcorn and the leftover cakes, donuts, breads, etc the store lets me have. The roller barrel is filled with COB (corn, oats and barley) that's treated with molasses. I also sometimes put some...

I'll hunt bears. It's a great time to get out and have a low-stress hunt. Camp, shed hunt, fish, etc and then sit on a bear bait in the evening. I'll put out a couple of baits and hope to shoot another good one. Here's last year's bear on the bait.

Great story and adventure. Thanks for posting it. And I'm jealous.

I always lube the gasket. Don't fill the filter. I'm old, but I also wonder how many people actually change their own oil any more. I've never paid anyone to change my oil, for the same reason feddoc stated above. I might not know more than the guy at the shop, but I do know I care and will...

I had a colleague who ran part of the program for which I worked the last few years of my job. He was a foreigner, and an avid vegetarian/vegan that had other negative attributes, too. The sad thing was, he had 5 subordinate employees. He hired 4 vegans and would likely have had 5 if he...

I don't know specifically about Star Valley. But I"ll bet there are many options. I do know 4-H is always looking for volunteer leaders for shooting sports and conservation/wildlife projects. And G&F has a shortage of hunter safety instructors, so that's another option. Thanks for being...

Thanks for sharing. Interesting stuff. I agree that it makes a big difference if it's inside or outside spread. And I doubt they have many bucks in that sample in the 5, 6, and 7 year old categories for each year. Either way, it is cool stuff and I wish we had this sort of info in the...

Our deer don't migrate. They live within a few sections.
