Now your have the right as landowners to say who can and who can’t hunt on it, but you guys have nutz coming in front of me saying the state owes you anything.
The same people you want to pay to solve your problem are the same you won’t allow on your ranches.
I want you to sit down with the game warden and come back in 30 days with a plan of how many hunters you could have on each ranch, each day of the season to help solve your problem. Next case, please”

Been exercising more and more. Using a weighted pack and ankle weights with all my cardio. Working 3-4 days a week and will increase that as time goes by.
Rifle has been dialed in but will get some powder burned in it before long as I love to shoot.
Been strategizing on Google Earth, Google Maps and OnX to form a plan. I've got a full plate this summer but hoping to scratch a weekend scouting trip. I'd like to at least drive the area's looking at access points and such.
I have most all my gear including two different badlands packs. I'm thinking I'd like to upgrade my boots and need to move on it soon for break in.
Excited is an understatement.

We struck out on our apps but it looks like both my boys who live in Wyoming are interested in going on their first Elk hunt so I'll have to whip up some conditioning so I can go up and play guide. They both got their first Antelope last year so a heck of a step up this year. Their draw deadline is June 1 so I had them put in for an Area they've got 21% draw odds in but realistically they'll just end up buying General tags so I need to get started on tracking down some General units and make a plan. There's so much territory it's kind of daunting to get started but I've got some preliminary ideas. I'm just as excited to go whether I shoot or not makes no difference I still get to hunt and hopefully punish my legs with a heavy pack out.

I hear ya. I don't drink a lot but have cut back in other area's with a goal of dropping 15 pounds. I'm down 3 pounds so far and feel like I'll comfortably be at Goal weight around September 1st. I'm using a 50 pound pack and reminded of what I was carrying around daily until about 2 years ago. I dropped 50 pounds in 2019 and gained about 15 back last year but was holding.
I'll cut out all alcohol sometime in September and possibly after my labor day wedding.

Got a new bow I need to build arrows for, guess I'll pay for the software to calculate it all out and get setup. Been practicing with my old bow's arrows but I suspect they're a bit weak spined.Originally posted by JTeLarkin08 View Postmy new arrows are going to be stupid lol.. THey will be the best arrow I have ever shot but they will also be the most expensive arrow ive ever built
