After a dozen years I have finally gotten rid of most of the gear that I didn't use. Anymore I can pack for just about any hunt that I want to do and that includes the gear for my creature comforts. It's still funny that I'll find a box out in the garage with stuff that I thought that I would...

I'd do some scouting on Google Earth and look for stock watering tanks or basins along side or just off of roads

When the BLM headquarters was moved to Grand Junction Colorado I didn't notice a thing, but I have no idea if Biden moved them back to DC.

I doubt it, they are still a bunch of bureaucrats that think that their way is better. We have one near me that hates ATV's and loves bikes, including E bikes. He loves shutting down roads and turning them into bike trails.

A 50 lb bow isn't too bad for a adult, think about your compound and what the draw weight of it is before the cams roll over. If you can you can even set up a compound to where it is only a 30% let off or perhaps even less. Then head down to a archery shop and see what they have on hand and...

Have you ever shot a recurve? It can be eye opening for someone used to a compound. The draw and release is almost all in one. It takes some practice to get onto the target pull and release at the same time, especially if you are drawing a heaver bow. I used a homemade one that came in...

I'd love to be able to call my representatives but they are next to worthless. I can't even get them to return a email.

I don't know why but I picked up another elk and pronghorn point here in Colorado and put in for my muzzle loader deer tag that I should draw. I'll have 15 pronghorn points going into next years draw so I need to figure out where I want to go hunt them here in Colorado. I'll wait for the left...

We've been hunting them for over 30 years and in all that time we have only had one that you couldn't eat. It was shot during the rifle hunt and it was hot and it took a while to find it and like all meat the longer that it sits in the heat the worse it gets. Like game meat you need to take...

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.

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

I'm at a loss for words.

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...

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

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...
