What a frigging mess...so best I can tell removing problem cougars will count towards a quota that could shut down hunting season? This is all set up with out the WDFW's blessing.... https://nwsportsmanmag.com/wdfw-commission-narrowly-oks-cougar-rulemaking-concepts-for-developing-2024-season/

I think a lot of people think spring bass is just waiting for the right temps. I do a lot of exploring for success and it doesn't always work out🤣 If you look close you can see where I busted through the mess to the "promised land" I did get one at least.... Onto the next pond...

Ventured out yesterday with slim hopes. It was colder then anticipated, windy and overcast. My ponds I found out were super low due to the fact they haven't even turned the irrigation water on yet! I had decided to bring an indicator rod, a slow sink and a popper rod (11wt @Josh😃). Because of...

I was in the mood to kick around a bigger lake. The sights and sounds of spring did not disappoint. Billy 🍻

Made my first batch of jerkey from the mule deer doe I got late last fall. Half the batch was cajun and half peppered. Very happy with how it came out! Took around 2 hours in the smoker 175-200 degrees. Anyone got a favorite jerkey recipe or any tips? I'll be doing this again😁

Started a string of days off on a well known little lake: Water was a crisp 36 degrees: It wasn't a barn burner but it wasn't super slow either: Caught fish on a variety of jigs utilizing my type 5. Good solid hits but I certainly had some first time out in the tube for the year rust...

I think a lot of people just remember Mike the fighter but he has become so deep and spiritual as he ages. I came across this short video and the words just sort of hit me: I recommend watching it a few times to truely grasp what Mike is saying. Thought it was worth a share Billy🍻

I'm a huge fan of Niklaus Bauer and Paolo Pacchiarini for all their big predator stuff. Thought this was pretty cool. @G_Smolt it's up your alley😁

Montana group fights Wyoming corner-crossing ruling, claiming broad precedent https://wyofile.com/montana-group-fights-wyoming-corner-crossing-ruling-claiming-broad-precedent/ The right to compensation for allowing access to public land...wow can't say I agree with that!

My friend had a bill of over 800 dollars from the butcher for a nice size mule deer buck. I've decided to butcher the doe I got yesterday myself. It was about a three mile pack out so she is already divided by quarters, a bag with the back straps and another bag with some neck and scrap meat...

Spent the last two days hitting a few of our mixed bag larger lakes. These lakes can be intimidating and to be honest I don't fish them as much as I should. However the variety of fish and quality of a fall bite proved to make them worth it! I started day one fast with a strong fish that just...

Hard to beat this time of year. The crowds are focused elsewhere. I especially love when the mosquitoes have died off😁 Got to this lake and was fast into quality fish! Peaceful setting: The fish were very healthy and strong fighters: It was a strong streamer bite off my type 5: I...

I seem to have lost my float tube net sometime over the summer. Taking advice on a new one. What do you like? I'm coming from generally using a cheap one that lasts 1-2 years but am not sold on continuing that route. Would be nice to have one that can handle big bass and trout 😁

Headed out to one of my absolute favorite lakes... The first several fish were smaller planters which is not the norm for this late. It must have been stocked recently. I tied on a big craw jig and finally started picking up nicer fish: It's hard to stay focused: Slow deep retrieve...

Incredible hatch last night had crappie and bass going absolutely bonkers. I've never experienced anything like it on the bass pond:

Hunting pictures past and present🥳

We have decided to change the forum name from cast and blast to hunting. I don't think we ever had a true cast and blast type report😁 Hopefully as we get closer to fall we have an increase in hunting related posts and reports. I for one am counting the days till elk season.

Dog days of summer are here and it's a struggle to get up early or go to bed late for a short bite... Fun day prolonged into the heat by stalking carp. I can see why @Buzzy and others get into it. Of course the big eats I missed. Some yahoo parked his truck and camper right on the launch with...

Now that a judge ruled Lorna Smith is essentially an illegally appointed commissioner....is everything she worked on in the last two messed up years going to be properly thrown out? https://nwsportsmanmag.com/org-judge-rules-smith-wa-fwc-appointment-violates-state-law/
