    What Is Your Favorite All Around Caliber...And Why????

    By the way.. there's nothing better than snowshoe hare kabobs. At least when you've been living on Lipton noodles and peanut butter sandwiches for the better part of two months!!

    What Is Your Favorite All Around Caliber...And Why????

    I'd have to go with a .300 win mag. as the best all around. Used to be my first and only for that very reason. I'm sure glad that now I have a 7mag and a 338 mag. Now the .300 sees less field time than either. I can't speak for the .375 AKaviator, but the .338 makes for some "better left...

    Otters and mule deer mounts

    Got my otters and my CO muley back from the taxidermist the other day. The otters​ are from 2015 when Indiana opened it's first river otter season. The limit is 2 per season, and since fur prices are horrible and I've always thought otters were cool, figured I'd get a mount done. The muley is...

    Well, we had a great time on our scouting trip. We saw quite a few moose, but more importantly, we got to see the unit and pick some potential camping spots. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone that gave me some pointers. wy-tex, really appreciate the location names, nothing like at least...

    26 Moose Scouting Trip

    Headed to 26 next Friday to look around in case we ever draw our moose tag, and I had a couple questions. 1. Should I get a wolf tag just in case, or aren't​ there enough around to even waste my money? 2. What's the bear situation more than likely gonna be, lots or not too many around? 3. If...

    Rabies FYI

    While my son was out in the yard playing wiffle ball Thursday night a bat ran into the side of his face and clamped onto his eyebrow/eyelid, and he had to pull it off, at witch time it clamped onto his hand as he tried to throw it. After finally flinging it off, he and his two brothers...

    Rainbow Jake

    Well after a very typical for me first day implosion on a couple nice long beards, and with rain and wind coming in for the last two days of my 3 day hunt, I decided that a Jake under a double rainbow was a sign from above that I had better make hay while the sun was shining!

    Archery Elk?

    My brother and I are planning on a 76 archery elk hunt for this fall. I was hoping some of you guys might have some input. I know that some of the units to the north are getting hammered this winter, but don't know if 76 is looking any better. I'd love to hear what some of you guys that have...

    Kansas Prairie Chickens

    Was thinking about planning a day or two of prairie chicken hunting on the way home from a possible CO Elk hunt next year. I saw that Kansas had some management areas that looked promising. Wondered if anyone could give me an idea of what the chances were of actually finding birds without dogs...

    Kifaru on a Crew Cab?

    I've got a Crew Cab and am thinking about adding capacity for extended (7-10 day) hunts. Was wondering if anybody had tried a kifaru bag (camp bag, markhor, tahr) on a Crew Cab and how well it works. Thought it might work like a nomad, without buying a new pack. My giant Cabela's dry bag will...

    Paunsaugunt Management Buck

    Anybody have any information on the Paunsaugunt management buck season? I might have enough points to draw a tag and I think it would be awesome to just be in the unit in November. Just wondering if anyone had tried it, and could give me an idea of what to expect if I decide to give it a shot.
