    Missouri Elk

    We finally get us some elk in Missouri, and the mountain lions (that we don't have :mad: ) are already killing them.. Next thing you know, we're gonna have a herd of wolves down here too...

    Is it Spring yet?

    I just got done hosting our local NWTF chapter banquet, and was talking to a few guys about video taping hunts. I had forgotten about the short films my buddy and I shot 2 springs ago in Kansas. The link below is one of my favorites.. I could watch that bird gobble 100 times and not get tired...

Hopefully, everyone that was going to burn their points this year, ahead...

    Sad deal, MO hikers die

    This happened on the other side of the state from me.. It was unreal how warm the weather was last friday, into saturday morning. The wife and I were out around midnight on friday, and it was 65 degrees.. Woke up satuday morning and it was around 20.. I guess the front pushed through the...

    MT senior citizen sheep hunt

    Saw this on Facebook earlier today.. Just another example of some group thinking their entitled to something.. http://www.ravallirepublic.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/article_33bd48d4-554a-11e2-b6a0-0019bb2963f4.html I'm not sure how many tags Montana gives out each year, but I'd venture...

    Utah application question

    This is probably a stupid question, but wanted others input before I call Utah game and fish.. Last year, I bought my non res license, and applied on February 13th. This year, the application period opens on 02.01. Per the big game guide book, your license is good for one full year, and as...

    A Christmas Story

    Last night, the Wife and I stopped in at our local Thai restaurant for a quick dinner. It was probably our third time in there in the past month and a half or so.. After we ate, when the waitress came to the table to clear it, she didn’t have a bill. She just said “Thank you for coming...

    Bob Munden

    I can remember a lot of Saturday mornings when I was little, watching him shoot on TV. My brother and I would try to emulate him shooting airborn targets with our bows.. That dude cost me a bunch of arrows. :D...

    Artic Cat

    Ok, so I just read through the entire 6 pages of the last ATV post, and it appears as though nobody drives an Artic Cat. I've always heard negative reviews about them, nothing ever in particular, just negative reviews. They don't seem to be as well built as some others, and I suppose that's...

    Finally

    Finally, after 6 straight days of bow hunting, and 12 total this season, I was able to put my tag on a pretty nice whitetail. I have hunted my tail off this season, with very poor results up until this point. The bucks had not been cruising, and I was not seeing many deer at all, averaging...

    Sitka Downour rain gear

    My old Browning rain gear finally gave it up last fall after about 10 years of hard use. I bought a set of the Sitka downpour rain gear to replace the Browings, as I wanted something a little lighter weight and more packable. With the extreme drought we've been in here, I hadn't had a chance...

    Lots of bucks

    Judging by the browse line in the background, this operation needs more buck bullets..

    Idaho 2nd draw

    Sorry if this busts anyone's attempt to get some coveted Idaho tag, but I just saw that the Idaho 2nd draw tags are now available.. I cross referenced the list with some info from the Eastmans ID info.. It looks like a bunch of the leftover tags are green and blue chip areas, some with very...

    Fishing in the backcountry

    Does anyone pack a flyrod, or ultra lite spinning rod with them on their back country hunts? I know every ounce counts, when you're living off your back for 7-10 days, but I'm thinking that some trout would be a welcome change from a mountain house diet, and fishing might pass the time when the...

    Big Agnes Fly Creek UL1

    Just got my Fly Creek UL1 from the UPS man today.. This thing is sweet! And even lighter than I imagined. This tent will be more than enough room for me, and my pack in the vestibule. Granted, I'm not a big guy, but I think any averaged sized guy could fit in in, and just about sit up in it...

    AZ deer/sheep

    Anyone having any luck applying for deer and sheep online? I'm trying to figure out how much longer I should wait for the online system to work before I should mail in my apps.

    Spring turkeys

    Missouri Turkey season finally opened today. I called three off the roost, and straight in.. I usually try to get some photos before the kill, but these guys came in too fast, and with that many eyes, I didn't want to risk it. After I shot, the other two birds stuck around and gobbled like...

    Eberlestock Blue Widow

    For the guys that were looking at the Blue Widow in a few other posts, check out the link to MidwayUSA.. They have a close out special for $256... After taxes, it cost $285 shipped to my door. Not bad, provided you are okay with Mossy oak treestand camo...

    Archery Elk

    I'm looking at the MRS for Wyoming elk, and am a little confused.. Most of the units start around the first of October, for example, unit 7 starts 10.15. I was under the impression that most of the units open in early September for archery only.. Am I missing something? Is the opening date...
