    Thoughts on Suppressors for Hunting?

    I’m a fan of suppressors, seems ridiculous that the Feds make them so hard to get...they are not exactly dangerous items. I have not used one on a western hunt because they are little cumbersome when stuck on a 24 or 26 inch barrel. But I have considered building a 300wsm with a short 20”...

    When did you kill your first deer?

    A whitetail doe in 1987 at my Grandfather’s place here in Texas. I was eight. I had been begging Dad to let me hunt since I could talk, spent the summer shooting the 30-30 and was ready to go when she stepped out.

    Time is up! Good luck!

    I bet you are correct that early season tags will stay same or in some cases drop. Wouldn’t surprise me if there is also a pause in elk point creep this year.

    Time is up! Good luck!

    I’m in a similar situation, I applied with 4 points for a second season tag that the last couple years has been around 50% with 3 points. I’m not overly optimistic but there’s a chance.

    Time is up! Good luck!

    Well, time is up for CO apps! Who all applied for deer hunts that historically took 2+ fewer points than you applied with?

    Apps Are In

    My hunting partners and I are in for 2nd rifle deer, historically we should have an extra point but who knows this year. If no luck on deer tags it’s OTC elk or leftovers. Good luck everybody!

    What is Trophy Hunting?

    The term “trophy hunting” to me means first of all finding a fully mature animal that has reached his peak in body and antler/horn growth. Then a “trophy “ to me is an animal that meets that requirement and has headgear that impresses me - a subjective measure that doesn’t always line up with...

    How Do You Breakdown an Elk?

    Season before last my 10 year old son killed a buck and for some reason didn’t want me to cut the lower legs off to pack it out, he wanted the leg to stick out of his pack. Made sense to him...

    The 1 Thing You Learned- Cooking Wild Game

    Make sure you have all the sinew/silver skin trimmed off if you’re cooking steaks. Took me several years to realize that it’s ok to loose a small amount of meat to trimming if it makes the meat that much better.
