    Muzzleloader pleads not guilty in fatal shooting of bow hunter

    Dolores County Colorado Hunting Accident

    If elk are colorblind what is the major hesitation to apply an orange cap or some sort of head covering? I hunt in states that require no orange and I always apply my fashionable odwc orange cap. I hate wearing that old seatbelt in my truck but I don’t see as many archery hunters complaining...

    Preferred cartridge? Grip and grin pic added

    Absolutely. My first one in 2007 Texas co Oklahoma was killed with my m77. Fell over stiff legged like he was electrocuted. The only drawback outside of the wind drift is the fact the hyper velocity bullet will bloodshot an 8 inch area if u hit high it will kill quickly but ruin half the...

    Best boots for elk hunting

    I love the fit and feel of my mountain extremes but I’ve had durability issues that should not be an issue with 500$ boots. Soles peeling off and rubber rand separating from leather. I’ve really enjoyed my salewa ravens for comfort and durability. The synthetic boots last much longer if ur...
