    Shed season

    I always thought a good idea would be to attach shed hunting to your hunting licence. To remove sheds from forest you would need a hunting licence. This would increase sales, and provide a bigger incentive to not break the rules. If you are caught driving vehicles cross country, on closed roads, or harassing game, then you could lose your licence. Having a "season" would be very difficult to enforce in my opinion. There would always be the people who clean up all the sheds before the season starts. I think applying stricter penalties for breaking laws already in place would be better than making new laws.

    Lee's Ferry Mid June/Early July

    I have taken a bass tracker a few times. If you are careful it is fine. I am not careful and took some chunks out of my prop. I would be hesitant to take a fiberglass boat up. Fishing in the walk-in section is actually really good.
  4. Howdy, My 2009 Toyota corolla has a crack splitting the front window. Any installers on here? My insurance does not pay for it, so it will be cash. Thanks.

    Old Bass Tracker

    I have for sale a 1983 Bass Tracker III $2500 Specs: -16' -1997 40 hp Yamaha -87lb thrust motor guide trolling motor -spare tire -removable pedestal seat -front deck is extended to console -front under deck storage compartment -working live well Needs some work: -Carpet is deteriorating from bring kept in the sun for two years -I think new wiring (or maybe just new battery connections) will take care of the navigation lights and bilge pump not working -I think the fuel pump needs to be replaced. Sometimes the motor acts like its not getting enough fuel and I have to back off the throttle and then power forward again to regain full speed. Its done this since I bought it about 8 years ago but never bothered me enough to try and fix it. I am hoping someone can get as much use and fun out of this old boat as I did.

    Old Bass Tracker

    Well, I got a few more years use out of it. The carpet is almost completely worn away. On the bright side I just spent $300 on new batteries. New price: $1500

    1st year recurve

    What spine carbons do you suggest? I'm having a heck of time finding aluminum anymore. There are a lot of factors at play: draw length, poundage, arrow length, how much tip weight you want.... You can play around with the 3rivers arrow calculator to get an idea what might work, but you really need to have some components at your disposal to mess with paper tuning to get it perfect.
  9. I never have money when you post awesome stuff like this.

    Hot.....

    Off to Homer, AK for a month in two weeks. Staying inside until then.
  16. I say keep it the way it is and make grandpa proud by shooting a big elk with it. If you had to make something with it, the 1917 has a very beefy action that was popular for big stuff like the 375 h&h.

    Things That Piss Me Off

    Yup. The "homeless" people are getting worse. Lots of able minded and bodied people out there with no dignity begging for money. I drove past a Jack in the Box yesterday advertising the windows "NOW ACCEPTING EBT" There should be no monetary handouts and no minimum wage. This would take care of many issues in our society.

    Justifying and Supporting Hunting

    I do not like the "if hunting stopped tomorrow" angle: it is too us(people) and them(animals) which is the mindset we need to get them away from. I would prefer to make an argument that includes us in the environment, food chain, and ecosystem just as we are, and have always been. Shipping goods around the world (cattle from Texas, wood from South America, rice from S.E. Asia, ect) is what has led us away from living "local" (use buzz words that they can relate to) and to a mass exudes from farm country into cities resulting in the "unsustainable" human population explosion we see today. It is hard for someone who lives in the city and has all the goods from around the world at their fingertips to understand this, but if fossil fuels dried up tomorrow, the only people that will be left are the ones who participate with nature and hunt, fish, gather, and garden for their own food just as we have been doing forever; I do these things because I love them, it is in my blood and it is when I am happiest. You can show them that they are the problem, and you are part of the solution. An excellent book: "Collapse" by Jarred Diamond is what led me to start thinking this way.

    Would a project for one of the deer, elk, etc., societies count?

    help Cooking Elk Roast

    If it were my elk roast I would either make it into steaks for grilling (depending on which roast it is), slice it and make jerky, or do a combo of what wildwoody and bhuntin suggested for tacos.

    Huge cat on the Navajo?

    I am going to guess he was a road hunter by all the extra weight he was carrying.
