    Kurt Russell Offers No Apology for Hunting Elk

    My wife says that she only married me because she says that I looked like Kurt Russel. Now she says that I am far better than him but without as much money.

    Canadian Man Kills Moose with 22

    There had to be a "Hold my beer, watch this" involved in that story somewhere.

    Poacher Convicted

    It wasn't stated in the article if a firearm or archery was used to kill the deer. I am sure that there are state laws about possession of a firearm on school property, and a charge relating to that would not be "double jeopardy". It's possible that was part of a plea bargain. Either way, I...

    Coffee at Camp Cooking Tips and Uses

    When I was guiding canoe trips, I would be up well before the crew. I put my small titanium pot on the canister stove while I broke down my hammock. It only takes 3 minutes or so to boil, then I put a clip on filter to my cup, and some ground coffee, and slowly pour it through. I have 2 or 3...

    Drone Hauls Deer to Butcher

    They'll be writing a new law soon. Heck, if it can haul out a doe, then it can certainly have a camera and a remote gun platform.

    Floating and Hunting the SW portion of the Last Frontier

    Great trips Tim. Congrates on your success, and especially on the 25 year anniversary....it's good that you found a keeper. Is that the Kifaru tent under the snow? I see that you went another way on your couples trip, but I have followed other trips of yours where at least my tent made it...

    Elk hunt for my Dad, NV, CO, AZ, WY?

    Your dad already has a lot of money tied up into points, and a big consideration is his age. He may be in great shape, but that can change in a heartbeat, and even a guided hunt could become no longer possible. I have been on 25 out of state big game hunts, most after turning 55. Of those...

    Big Bear Killed in PA

    Even small bears can be difficult to load up...it seems like their bones turn to jelly. I am not a bear hunter, but used to get quite a few road kills from the DNR because no one else wanted them. A tow truck would be just the ticket.

    Big SD Buck Shot

    WOW...If that's legit, I expect that we'll be seeing more of that buck in the near future.

    Anyone have experience w/Ravin or 10 Pt Xbows

    Ravins are made only 60 miles from my home and have 2 close friends who swear by them. One of them lives in Wyoming and has killed multiple mule deer and bull elk with his, and some were at longer range than I would ever attempt. The trade off is $$$$$. I have a Tenpoint Titan, and did...

    Thank You to our Veterans

    5 generations in my family...my wife and I (both Marines) attended the American Legion Veterans Day dinner last night with my WWII vet uncle. He is only a couple months shy of 100 years old. There aren't many of what was truly "The Greatest Generation" left. Semper Fi

    Broken Stuff

    Thank God for safety glasses. I recently had cataract surgery and have become even more vigilant about wearing them whenever I am doing anything other than sitting in the recliner. That incident could have seriously changed your life, and not for the better. Recover, rinse, repeat...

    The 40 acre deer refuge 2025

    That's insane Mallard. At least you have learned that if the collapse of modern civilization happens in your lifetime then you can subsist on coon and possum. They go well with grits and greens.

    High Mountain Lake Trout

    Nice fish Slugz, in beautiful country to boot. It's good to catch the bigger fish, but they are often too big to consume while camping. It's always nice to catch some "eaters" while in the outback. I'll be spending a week on a high mt. lake in Sept., but we'll be after cut-throat, so there...

    WY NR Elk Draw Results

    Ref. point creep. I did not apply for a WY elk tag this year and figured that I would be one year out (when bundled with my partner). I expected some change in the creep with the "Special" tag $$ increase. For the NR GEN West draw, it is running about a half point a year for 100% draw...
