A member of our African hunting group had a small problem on his first day of hunting. He stepped on a rock that rolled out from under his foot. Down he went onto some more rocks resulting in a couple broken ribs. He spent a night in a South Africa hospital.
We all had signed up with Rip Cord...
I haven't shot a doe in so many years that it is scary, I have however shot a number of cow elk. Shooting a doe just isn't for me.
One problem with shooting a doe during any of the general seasons is that even if there are not any fawns with her they may still be in the area and you will...
The government needs to go with the will of the people. Here in Colorado 51%+ said that they wanted wolves. They also voted years ago to eliminate the spring bear hunt along with using dogs.
The folks up in British Columbia decided that they didn't want hunters to hunt Grizzly bears and...
A number of years ago we had a so called hunter shoot a ram near I-70. He stashed the head into a culvert, I believe that he planned on letting nature take it's course and come back once it was just the skull. He got tripped up when someone walking the bike path smelled something rotten and...
Happens quite often in Utah while the spike only hunt is going on.
But they sure are fun to watch. I actually got yelled at one year while I was watching big bulls with a spike tag in my pocket
A few years ago I watched a rock for 3 or 4 hours just knowing that it had to be a elk. It never moved and when it was time to leave I radioed my partner to pick me up at a different place, I was going to hike over to that rock.
Once I got there I found that it was indeed a elk, a dead one...
From what I understand for those 18+ the course is just around 15 minutes on line and is free.
But speaking of Moab you need to check out Trail Mater on YouTube. It is interesting the situations folks get themselves into. Also Matts Offroad Recovery is another one that I have been following...
I had a outfitter friend who said that he hated to see a client show up with a Swarvoski scope on his rifle. He said that they make fantastic optics but their scopes leave a lot to be desired in the sturdiness department. He had seen too many of them take unrepeatable damage while hunting in...
With higher price optics you also get better clarity.
I remember one hunting trip when my nephew looked through my Leopold that was on my. 340 Weatherby at a elk. He proclaimed that he could see the elk better through the scope than he could through his binoculars which were Vortex.
He took...
It's not a 300 Win mag but my .340 Weatherby has had a Leopold VX III on it for every shot. Two trips to Africa, and thousands of miles bouncing around in a truck and ATV. It has the same zero as it had once I sighted it in many years ago.
I keep thinking of picking up a couple but then I don't shoot the ones that I have now. That along with the problem that the nearest gun store with any inventory is 100 miles away, at least ones that won't give you the shaft when you buy one. Then there is the Colorado back ground check where...
