    Cali hog down

    My aunt smoked this bruiser this morning. First harvest. She's hooked. I have to give her credit though this was about her 15 th day in the field before she got a crack at one. Worth the weight I guess.

    Pictures from the 2012 season

    Well I'll share mine:) Opening weekend of elk led to punching both tags, 2nd year in a row of filling both tags on the opener. Sorry for the little Idaho buck, we actually took 2 other really nice deer, I just happened to get the smallest on the mountain:) Montana Archery buck and then a last...

    How young is too young?

    Well here is pretty much how I feel about it... I would only be preaching to the choir if I went into what the outdoors teaches your children. Especially with the most recent horrific event last week, people have to see that as long as parents spend time with their children, they are ahead of...

    Hunting... The financial side.

    So curious as to how others handle the cost of hunting trips, gear and permits. I personally got hammered this year. I did a great job saving for my New Zealand trip. Saved for a little over a year and came back with a few extra hundred bucks, even after taxidermy. I had 2 additional week...

    extreme alaskan outfitter frame pack....

    Here's that pic... Not sure if you can see it or not but the strap is looped over the frame. I tried to zoom in. One thing I forgot to mention... You can shave over a pound (I think) by going with the non-shelf model. Which is what I have.

    So now that hunting season is over (kind of)....

    I need to take my wife on a vacation. And since I always get such good info from here, I thought I would ask you guys... Any tips on a good week long vacation in February or March? We live in Montana so naturally we want some sun. Probably some beach too. Thanks in advance.

    Question for Archery Hunters

    So this morning a doe was slowly walking down a trail and I knew soon enough she was going to catch my wind. Sure enough, the hunt was over... She bounced out to 80 yards and stood there blowing for 4-5 minutes. I waited to another 30-45 minutes and completely discouraged I climbed down from...

    Idaho... I need your help

    Please of course:) Do you have some sort of free mapping program online that shows private/public land ownership? Montana has a program called Montana Cadastral, not exactly the best but it works once you get it figured out. Thank you!!

    Kuiu's New Camo Pattern - Verde

    What is everyone's thoughts on the new pattern? The product itself, I have to admit is top notch. I have pretty much gone completely Kuiu. Not because of the new trend, in fact that is the only thing that holds me back, but because the product itself is really top quality for a reasonable...

    Polaris Ranger Side by Side

    Does anyone out there have one of these? I just got one and I have to say... I am a bit concerned. My first couple of trips and I am covered head to toe in dust and I mean bad. I do have the cab on it with the doors off and i am wondering if it is beneficial to take it off. I've only owned...

    Thunder Chicken Down... With the Kid

    It was a great show... 2 Toms gobbling their heads and doing their dance, we got to watch them from 150 yards out coming in. 3rd bird she has been in on the hunt. Not bad for a 5 year old:)

    Headed to New Zealand for Stag

    It was the 3rd morning of the hunt and as you saw earlier my buddy had already put one down. The numbers of deer are nothing like what we have here in the states. It is a completely different system there, the outfitters don't lease land, they buy animals. Which is actually pretty nice...

    Headed to New Zealand for Stag

    Well here we go... I'll get my buddies out of the way because it pretty much makes mine look like a forked horn. I'll write a full review tonight. It was amazing and I would HIGHLY recommend this outfitter. Boy does he know his stuff. Enjoy a monster stag:

    4-Blade vs 3-Blade Broadheads? Which do you prefer?

    ok... Here they are. Sorry to offend anyone but this has to make a believer out of some. Here is what the Rage 2 blade has done for me. I know it's just deer and elk is a whole other discussion. Both shots were either quartering to or away but seriously unreal.
