re: only 16 of 26 bear tags used in LA this year

Some tag holders don’t seem to line up private land to hunt on. Also, season dates interfere with deer hunting on private property.

There are some from nurseries that drop later in the fall.

Drop the 70s idea. Get the newest Tacoma or 4Runner you can find. Forget working on a car all the time.
“want to go out West and kill something that I have to work for. That or Alaska.”
I skin one side of elk, cut meat off the bone, then roll it over and do the same.

re: What knife or tool do you use to crack open the sternum on a deer?

Hang deer up. Skin. Cut meat off bone. Reach in and get sweet meat. Haul off carcass with guts in it.

Congrats on your buck. It’s a rare situation where I gut deer. I haul them back to camp, skin, then debone meat while it’s hanging up.

Quesa, we’ve got a solid ten days of rut, if not more, left for us.

“Contrary to popular sentiments, hunter numbers aren’t lower in every state. Most states have slightly fewer hunters today than 20 to 30 years ago, but many actually have more sportsmen and women going afield.
“Pennsylvania had 1 million in 2001 and around 850,000 today,” Adams said. “Conversely, Florida had 226,000 in 2001 and 351,000 today. Most have fewer hunters today, though.”
Georgia, Idaho, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, and others have experienced increases in hunter numbers, too. In short, the hunter number discussion looks different in each state and should be addressed accordingly.”

There was a small time frame where deer had returned to the countryside and a person could hunt wherever they wanted. Probably about ten to fifteen years. Not surprising that landowners don’t want strangers shooting high powered rifles on their property.
I didn’t allow the Western state draws hinder me. I have public lands bighorn ram, elk, mule deer, and pronghorn to show for it. It isn’t that hard but does take time and research.
