There’s a lot wrong with today’s America and there’s a lot that is right. Thanksgiving is a day when we should thank the Lord for being able to live lifestyles most people throughout history could never imagine and most of the world today only dreams about – the American Dream. I am thankful...

We're always looking for ideas for the Members Research Section (MRS), either topics or details. Last year we really expanded and upgraded the MRS by adding pages, lots of new charts and maps and much more information in the tables. I think it's a lot easier on the eyes, more useful and more...

In Pageland, SC a man was arrested a week ago for possession of 5-6,000 stolen guns, plus 500 chain saws and other stuff. http://www.thestate.com/news/local/crime/article41913897.html All the guns have their serial #s. Not many thieves go to the trouble to file them off, especially on rifles...

As I read the regs, there is no requirement to be a resident guide that can "guide" nonresident hunters in WY wilderness areas other than to apply for that status, have a valid hunting license, be a resident and not receive compensation. Has anyone done this with nonresident hunting partners...

What would you put on the Top 10 List for mistakes nonresidents make when they apply for the draw? Obviously, it varies by state because state draw types vary, sometimes by species. Examples are good, if you have them.

Today I shared with someone my excitement over signing up for a 14-day horseback sheep hunt, one I've dreamed about since I was a kid reading Jack O'Connor articles in Outdoor Life. (I didn't know about Gordon Eastman back then). If it actually comes to pass, it will be more money by far than...

For those of you looking for boots or other outdoor products, REI has their annual 20% off sale starting Friday May 15. I'm planning to order a pair of Zamberlan boots and that will save me nearly $70, plus they earn a year-end dividend for another $34.

I need to buy a pair of stiff, supportive boots for sheep hunting, looking at Zamberlan, Kenetrek, Lowa, Scarpa and Meindl. I have wide, hard to fit feet so I'll need to try them on. One company's size wide or extra wide is not necessarily the same width as another's. How do you guys buy...

I'm strongly considering getting a muzzleloader so I can hunt Colorado deer more often. I'm considering the CVA Accura 2 and the Optima, though I'm open to opinions on other brands. I'm most interested in accuracy with belted slugs, all-around quality and ease of use and cleaning. I'm also...

Check this out. The story is from the Wall St. Journal of all places, a very reputable source. A pretty nice rack, but... uh, oh. http://www.wsj.com/articles/oh-deer-its-an-antlered-doe-1421103734?autologin=y

This 4-12x Burris Eliminator laser scope is 3 or 4 year old, I can't remember which. It has some scratches and small paint chips but works fine. $650 or best offer.

Last year I posted my thoughts on Jesus' birth. This one is different and pops a few balloons. It's pretty long but I hope it's helpful. For a number of years now I have sent out a Christmas letter highlighting some aspect of Jesus’ birth and what it means. This year I thought it best to give a...

I was all set to buy a Garmin Oregon 600 until I checked the reviews on Amazon which were VERY mixed. That's a huge red flag for me. There were numerous different things complained about, most saying it was a great idea but has too many bugs. I won't list the complaints here except the two most...

I'm doing some research for an article and I'm interested in your opinions. 1) What is your favorite state for hunting elk? Why? 2) How are things looking this year?

Are conditions in SE MT as good as in WY this year? I drove around WY in early June and I have never seen it so green in summer. I hoping MT Region 7 has been blessed with good rainfall as well. Looking for a nice mulie this fall.

What do you guys like for an angle-compensating rangefinder? What is important to look for? I would use it for both archery and rifle. I'm thinking about getting the Leupold RX-1000i TBR with DNA. It's about $350 on eBay and gets good reviews on Cabela's.

What would you guys buy for hunting MT in -10 degree weather? I am planning to hunt MT this fall the week before Thanksgiving and was told it can get -10 with a stiff wind. I'm not currently equipped for that other than: Frist Lite base layer Expedition weight base layer from Minus 33 Mont...

Does anyone use a wind jacket or wind shirt like the Patagonia Houdini? I was thinking of getting one to use as a mid-layer. It's only 3.7 oz. My outer jacket is a Kryptek Cadog and it does block some wind but sometimes not enough. I could break out the rain gear (Poseidon) but that is not...

Minus 33 expedition-weight (400gm) black base Layers in men's large, both top and bottom - $95 OBO for the set.
