    Boy, are you in trouble. I retired and since then I've made two trips over to Africa, one to British Colombia and a lot of other hunts. After all, you need to keep busy.

    Recommendations for a cow elk guide on private?

    There are a number of outfitters that offer landowner voucher hunts but they can get costly. I can't remember the booking agent but quite often they had late season cow tags available in New Mexico for a very reasonable cost

    In your opinion what 3-5 rifle cartridges are best for Mule Deer?

    Mule deer are not hard to kill, hit them in the boiler room and they are going down. I started with a 30 year old 30'06 that was given to me. When I decided to upgrade I moved on to a 7mm Rem Mag since I was also hunting elk. Now for deer I have moved on to a 25-06 unless I am also hunting elk...

    Canadian Man Kills Moose with 22

    It has often been said that moose are not hard to kill, it is just hard to convince them that they are dead.

    Spring Time in Arizona

    Well, if it is February it must mean that it is time for the annual javelina hunt down in Arizona. After checking the weather we knew that we were going to be in for a hot one. Temperatures were suppose to be in the upper 70's but as we all know weathermen lie, we saw temperatures into the...

    Coffee at Camp Cooking Tips and Uses

    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...

    Coffee at Camp Cooking Tips and Uses

    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...

    Famous Estes Park Bull Legally Killed

    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...

    No New Wolves for Colorado this Year

    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.

    Small Calibers for Big Game Hunting

    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...
