100% of dead elk surveyed couldn't tell if it was a .277, .264, .284, .308 or whatever caliber bullet it was that hit 'em. Bullet placement is everything.

You really need to re-think your travel plans and make every effort to spend time around 5k' or so before going to higher elevations. I work in cardiology and see people every year being brought out of the high country; I don't even wanna deal with 'em anymore, it's not like getting altitude...

Yep, I drew a unit 58 antelope tag; gonna try hunting with my flintlock.

Another guy died up in there yesterday (7/10) descending off South Maroon Peak. According to news, body's still up there, they have to send a chopper up in there to recover it. Brutal country up in there.

Here's your unit

Cat Island, Bahamas bonefishing a couple weeks ago. I love poking around the remote Bahamian Islands; usually nobody around and it's the closest thing to sneaking up on a buck or bull I've found, but with a fly rod instead of another kind of weapon. I am reasonably sure I had the only RMEF hat...

Packing out a cow I took last week. I took the shot about 90 minutes before full darkness, and since I was out by myself with no one to worry about back in camp I made the decision to stay out all night and get the job done. I got out with the last quarter at 3AM. Got back to my camp spot...

Don't know if many have heard about this but it's a real crummy sounding situation up there on north side of Grand Mesa. 3 guys missing, presumed buried in the slide (one of my coworkers knew one of the guys); now a lake forming above the slide because it formed a dam. They don't know if that...

Looked good up where I was at scouting last weekend

With all the steps we take to stay scent free while hunting, is there such a thing as scent free insect repellant? Archery season is just around the corner and bugs can still be pretty bad this time of year.
