    Did allot of research on what caliber to get for elk hunting, really wanted a 7-08 or 30-06 but after research thought a mag caliber would keep me from buying a different gun down the road. So I found the Venture on sale at Cabela's for $379 + $75 rebate + $5 veteran discount + $115 gift card to...

    7mm-08 and Elk

    So I am thinking of a caliber for elk and would like a short action. I can get 308 brass all day long for free and would like a gun that can handle 400 and maybe 500 yard shots. I am talk to two different people who both have different opinions, one 7mm-08 would be a great round and the other...

    Phone Skope on a Redfield Rampage

    So I keep debating on getting a way better spotting scope but for hunting in western Nebraska I can't justify it. I hunted the last 3 days in Nebraska for mule deer and shot my first archery buck, small but a start. :) Headed home today I wanted to stop at a small piece of public that had some...

    Getting ready for the season!

    Last couple days got to go throw a 3D course. Today my family joined us. It was a great time and I scored 367 out of 480. Not bad after 4-5 years of not shooting.

    Choosing hunting optics

    So I bought a Redfield Rampage a few years ago because I felt I needed a spotting scope but I don't use it no where near as I thought because I feel it's kinda awkward to carry. So now I think that a pair of 15x vortex binos might be better than a spotting scope. Yet then I think that maybe a...

    Mule deer patterns

    Can you pattern mule deer? Preferably late season when they are on food sources and when they return to bedding area. Mostly open areas like sand hills in Nebraska?
