This is the time of year when we celebrate God becoming man, or to be more accurately, God in the person of Jesus putting on a human nature. It really is the most incredible event in all of history, matched only by the end for which He came. This is of course a very hard thing to fully grasp...

A&E, the network that airs Duck Dynasty announced today that it is suspending Phil Robertson, the dad on Duck Dynasty for remarks he made about gays in an interview with GQ magazine. He quoted Bible verses about gays and said that the lifestyle is wrong, as is sleeping around and another more...

I called WYGF to find out if they have pdf maps for mobile devices other than the Garmin GPS units. They directed me to huntinggpsmaps.com Apparently huntinggpsmaps.com has had maps for download to iPhones and iPads for awhile that show topo and aerial views and private land with ownership...

2014 is the year for me to upgrade my clothing. It seems Kuiu and Kryptek are the two front-runners in my price range. Sitka is just too expensive and Russell is hard to find. I'm mainly thinking of the intermediate and rain layers since Kuiu's Superdown Spindrift jacket seems far and away the...

This Thanksgiving I have a long list, but most of all, I am thankful for God’s forgiveness, his care in watching over me, his direction and his provision, not only for me but for those I love. I am also thankful that He hears and answers prayer. I am thankful for my family, especially my wife...

I thought that looked like a Carolina deer. The guy works for a deer processor in SC. If you notice, the guy not only did his skinning and slicing with one knife but also used it to split the pelvis with one stroke. The knife is a German custom-made model. Apparently the owner is German and...

Do the CO mountains have much snow yet? I'm coming out to hunt 2nd season mule deer.

Along with CO and MT, one of my favorite states.

Just got back from Montana and punching my bear tag. I had three shot opportunities in four days and decided on this old warrior. EHJ doesn't do many bear stories but I submitted one on this hunt. We'll see.

What do you think of my son's truck? His artist friend did it. It's hand-painted and free-form, not a stencil and not a wrap. The paint is actually hard to scratch.

I'm in the process of getting a Vortex Razor 16-48x65 spotting scope and want to upgrade my tripod. I usually hunt 1-5 miles off the road so weight is an issue. Budget is $100 - $250, including the head. I'm leaning toward a pan head, not sure about twist lock vs. levers. I'm looking at the...

I have always just carried 24K topo maps and aerial views I have printed on map paper. Now, I am looking to get a GPS. I want it to have 24K topo maps, aerial views, waypoints, and show land ownership and unit boundaries, if all that is possible. I looked at the Garmin Oregon 450 at REI but...

How do I know what is the optimum setup for my bowhunting rig in terms of delivering the most penetration at 40 yards? Right now, I shoot an 2011 Elite Pulse bow set at 55 lbs with a 28.5 draw length. With some practice, I could probably work that up to 60 lbs. I shoot Slik Trick 100 gr...

What do you guys wear for your standard outer pants for October and November hunting? If they are water-resistant, do you still carry a separate rain layer? Do they keep you warm over a single base layer like the First Lite base layer?

I need to upgrade my spotting scope. I would love to go with the Razor HD 20-60x85 but my budget won't handle it this year, so I was thinking of going with the Viper HD in 20-60x80. I could always sell the Viper HD on the forum next year and buy the Razor if I want to move up. Two things I've...

I'm thinking about grabbing my camping gear and doing a DIY spring bear hunt, spot and stalk. Any ideas on the best state, general area and time to go? I spent a few days last fall walking logging roads around Libby, MT but had no luck, so I thought I'd give it another try, thinking spring...

Apparently, the new Vortex Razor HD 18-48x65 and 11-33x50 spotting scopes were at the SHOT show. Has anyone seen them yet or seen an early review? From the Vortex website and others, here are the specs on the 18-48x65 compared to the 20-60x85: Magnification:16-48x Objective Lens Diameter:65...

I need to upgrade from my Bushnell Elite spotting scope. I can only afford to buy one scope. My binos are Minox 10x42. I mainly hunt mulies, sometimes antelope. I am looking at a Razor HD 20-60x85 spotter, which gets great reviews. But, I am hesitant to add all that weight (+ the tripod) while...

Any reccomendations on a good taxidermist in NW Montana to do a bear rug for me next month? I see prices ranging from $120 to $225 per linear foot. I would like to be near the lower end of that range but I want a quality rug. They need to in that part of the state or next door in northern ID...
