Straining at Gnats and Swallowing Camels
Wednesday, October 24th, 2007Special interest groups are using all kinds of excuses to block oil and gas development in Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado. Some of these groups are masquerading an interest in Mule Deer welfare in order to stop development. I can think of several examples ( see picture below) where mule deer have done quite [...]

Colorado 2007 Mule Deer Hunt Forecast
Tuesday, October 16th, 2007According to Rick Kahn, Colorado’s Big Game Manager, 2007 is going to be a good year for killing a large Mule Deer Buck.

The “Real Kirt Darner Story”
Thursday, October 11th, 2007I have, for several years now, heard rumors flying around about Kirt Darner - whom, as a Mule Deer Fanatic, I idolized because of his accomplishments and knowledge.
