For what it possibly cost, I'll book another trip to Africa. Or two

We have a system worked out to get the coffee ready fairly quickly. We have everything ready before we go to bed, then the first one up fires up the burner and places the pot on it. By the time we get dressed and do any duties that need to be done the coffee is usually ready to go. The only...

Percolator all the way, years ago my old aluminum one got all bent up so I picked up a large stainless steel one from Cabela's and it has worked great. In my early years it was cowboy coffee all the way. I just use the same coffee in camp as I use at home, Kirkland brand. It makes it easier...

I've read a number of the post on FB and think that most of them are hilarious. They act like he was a family pet instead of a wild animal. It is interesting in that some actually understand that once he left the protection of the park that he was fair game, but then there are the others that...

Looks like some wolves crossed the border into Utah from Wyoming or Idaho https://www.hjnews.com/news/local/dwr-confirms-lethal-removal-of-three-wolves-near-avon/article_3d318aff-fefb-4525-be63-cdc1d424ed59.html

I also wonder if they got a notification from the Colorado State Leglesature that Colorado was broke as far as finances and they didn't want to dump more money into the wolf program for now.

I know that years ago I got one heck of a deal on a case of Federal 7mm Rem Mag Premium ammo, what I paid for that case of ammo I couldn't even buy brass and bullets for. Out of that case I still have 3 or 4 boxes and numerous loose rounds that I took out of my pockets and or shell carriers, it...

I doubt that most hunters will ever shoot more than a couple hundred rounds out of their rifles. They buy it and head to the range and perhaps shoot a box of 20, then it goes home and sits in the closet until hunting season shows up. Some will take a couple of sight in shots but most won't...

I agree with CC. With a outfitted hunt you can get as much out of it as a DIY one. You can participate just as much as you want or just sit back and enjoy it. On both of my hunts in South Africa I was a active participant as far as finding the game animals that we were after. If the PH was...

A friend in the Moab area uses the 4 wheel deflater/inflaters and loves them. Even with the short time that it takes to connect them up.

I've had a few instances where you either shot at a longer range or you didn't get the animal. Sometimes the cover is so thick or the area is so open that there is just no way to get closer to the animal. My Utah LE hunt for elk was one such instance, it was either take a very long cross...

The idea of a oversize bullet for caliber is the oversized bullets ballistics for longer range. But then everyone has gotten into their heads that you need a bullet, cartridge, and rifle combination that will shoot 1/2 moa out of a hunting rifle instead a rifle that just does the job. They...

If I was 25 or so years younger I believe that I may jump on the bandwagon for it. But I have a 25-06 that works quite well so there is no need for one.

Back when Utah introduced the bison to the Book Cliffs I talked to one of the biologiest and he told me that they had approached Colorado's CP&W at the time to see if they would be interested in working with them and the reintroduction. CP&W turned them down flat telling Utah that they had no...

I was up there on a antelope hunt and talking to the deer and elk hunters didn't find one that was complaining. They do put a lot of hunters through their system with a lot of return hunters.
