Hunting was on the brink of dying until they came along. Such a great thing they're doing.

Randy is a nice guy and fun to watch until he shows up where you hunt and announces it to the rest of the world. The next year you have to share it with everybody from Texas to Alaska...

Funny..... on one hand we bitch about hunter recruitment, and our need for representation at the local, state, and national levels. We have a desire to protect habitat and devote greater resources to the protection and management of our animals....
Then, we bitch about more hunters applying and hunting in “our” areas.....
We can’t schitt in both hands....
You better pray to the God of Skinny Punks that this wind doesn't pick up......

None of my friends have that bitch. Quite the opposite. We laugh at the "hunting is dying" threads. It seems to be dying to those not applying. Point creep is real in every state. But I do agree with one thing. I bitch about Randy showing up in AZ with a mob of social media "crews" all running cameras trying to earn a $ and pretending they're doing it for me.

I suppose we should all get all the tags we want, and be the only ones allowed to hunt in the areas we call “dibs” on... seems fair.... in a 3rd Grade sorta way.

One of the many reasons I like private ground, Texas.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

I should take delight in the Instagram Posse's invasion of our hunting spot, trying to make a living out of it. Thats a good thing. I keep forgetting. Please keep reminding me.

Ya they’re doing great!! Hell I didn’t even draw Montana biggame combo with the purchase of a preference point, first time in almost 20 years!! Get use to it. The more folks that bale out of Colorado's circus, the more headed that direction. When I was a kid. If you knew someone that made regular trips west to hunt, you were the minority. They were usually men of means. Some were just robust folks that would tent camp in God's country with little more than an outfit of "Hunting" clothes and whatever rifle they owned. Just look at us now! Un fricking real what we need to survive a season of elk hunting. What use to be a one trip out west dream is now "How many states will we draw this year !? ".
