    Arctic Air ( Mike and Shiela Spisak ) & Outdoor International - Buyer Beware!

    As more of us take or go on guided hunts we will find that all of us are open to this kind of a problem. My grizzly hunt was about like CC's experience however it was dependent on the animals themselves. The hunting was fantastic but the finding was very poor. One big problem is that when...

    Colorado Survey

    I actually like the doe and cow draw. It makes a person have to decided just what they want to hunt and keeps people from taking a cow or a doe while still putting in for a bull or buck in the harder to draw units. Perhaps even going as far as saying that if you draw a tag for a elk or a deer...

    firearm safety and hollywood

    While he may be the top dog, he is also responsible to hire competent people to see that this type of thing doesn't happen. Even when there is some bad rigging I don't hear people yelling for the producers head to be sacrificed but they do go after the crew that did the rigging that either...

    firearm safety and hollywood

    The problem as I see it is that these movie sets have a procedure in place to grantee safety where firearms are concerned. When a actor or actress is handed a firearm they should know that it safe without checking it. In this case there were a number of things that were wrong with the...

    firearm safety and hollywood

    These are actors that we are talking about. Most of them have no idea of what real life is all about. They live in a make believe world both when they are on a movie set and off of it.

    firearm safety and hollywood

    But the point being on a movie set there is not suppose to be any live ammo, and someone is in charge of the firearms to make sure that they are safe before a idiot picks it up and makes it go bang.

    A New Rifle....

    If I was young again I would look real hard at building up a wildcat round. Either one that is established or come up with some hair brained idea of what I wanted. If I was building one for myself I believe that I would start out with the 404 Jeffery cartridge and then perhaps neck it down...

    Protect Yourself Against Component Shortages

    It is a lot easier on the pocket book if you can find that one powder that will work across several calibers. For me it is Unique, and H110 for pistol rounds. Unique works for the light loads and then to power them up I'll go with the H110. Both work quite well in my 357's and 44 magnums...

    Not Sitting At Home

    Tomorrow is suppose to be a good day with a storm moving in for Wednesday and then good again on Thursday. Scott, some of his back straps were delicious.

    2021 Hunting Success Thread

    I missed this thread. But my bull from last week is the only animal going into my freezer and come Thanksgiving I'll transport at least half of the meat over to my sisters house for distribution. I used to fill a freezer every year but as I get older I don't eat as much red meat so I usually...

    Colorado hunting laws for a new resident

    CC has it pretty well covered. For any animal you need a license and a tag even if you are hunting on private property. If you are just moving here to Colorado you will be out of the resident draw this coming year since the application period ends in the first of April, so you would need...

    Clear Shot? Mule Deer Hunting

    I was wondering what took the shooter so long to pull the trigger.

    Texan bow hunter killed by Pennsylvanian muzzle loader

    What it comes down to is hunter responsibility and knowing what they are shooting at before that trigger is pulled. There are a number of states that do not require any form of hunter orange on the hunter for any season. Arizona being one of them, Utah also has regulations where in once in a...

    Not Sitting At Home

    As I mentioned I usually just use this spot for cows but those permits now take 2 or 3 points to draw in this unit instead of being on a left over list. I have found that if you just plop your rear down and sit from sunup to sundown for a number of days that a elk will wander through the area...

    Not Sitting At Home

    I drove my 4wheeler right to him. If I hadn't parked my truck down on the main road I would of just loaded him into it. People look at you kind of funny when you have a whole bull elk in the back of a truck. Just aa FYI, this is my cow hunting spot and this is the first bull that I have shot...
