Rich, this is a totally affordable and doable hunt. You can beat the crowds by saving up some points for a limited hunt. Just do your research and find an area with sufficient antelope numbers, reasonable access, and limited tags. I only have experience with one unit, and only had one buck...

The amount that I am willing to spend has changed through the years. I don't really need any more gear, though I wish that I had bought the high end optics years ago. I quibble on it now mainly because I'm not sure how much longer I will be able to use them. Heck, the guided elk hunt that I...

Those sage grouse have always taunted me knowing that the season wasn't open or I didn't have a tag. On my last trip I took a couple first timers on a doe antelope hunt. This time the season was open, we had small game tags (for rabbits), but didn't bring shotguns. I had to almost tackle my...

My dream critter has always been a monster mule deer. I am fortunate to have been on number of mule deer hunts, and have another one planned for this year. Rather than dream, hope, and save for one great hunt, I try to make every hunt the best experience possible, knowing that it could be my...

There are many different approaches to weight training, and much of them depend on what your goals are. Back in your football days it was often to build size and brute strength. For you today I think that would definitely be the wrong approach. Measure your gains on your increased muscle...

Go to it Marcus!! None of us will ever get to Bonecollector's body tone, but there are a few things that you should keep in mind. 1. Focus on yourself, and do not get wrapped up in lifting big weights or hitting it too hard. 2. You don't need to go out and buy a bunch of new equipment. Pick...

Looks like my hunt plan has morphed a bit. Two of us did draw our WY area H deer tags. The poor working stiff has maxed out his vacation to allow up to 12 hunting days, so I will adjust my hunt plan and fit it into his schedule. My wife and I are headed out west on the 22nd, and spend 5-6...

I learned from my "mosquito fest" hike the other day, and yesterday started my walk out on a road where the sun and wind could keep them at bay. It didn't help much with the flies though. Anyway, I did get in a speed hike with a 17# pack. Will up the weight a few # and head out after my...

Looks like you did some remodeling since I was last at your place Jim.

We have had our hunting shack in the Minnesota Northwoods since 1968, and have generational experience with the ebb and floe of deer populations and wolves. MN never dropped below an estimated 350 wolves, and now has 2,400 - 4,000. The first number is the official federal F&W estimate, while...

I have the Just One pack, and have used it extensively out west. I bought all the extras for it, and really like the duffle option as I can just pull it out when I set up camp. Yeah you can pack meat on the inside, and zip the duffle on the outside, but after doing that once I found I would...

I started my first day of "pack training" to prep for my WY deer hunt in Sept. Starting off easy with just a two mile fast walk, and will add distance and pack weight as I go forward. I think that I burned about 100 calories on the walk, and about 200 swatting mosquitos.

That looks like a "Holmes on Homes" project. Fix it once and fix it right...Beautiful job!

The 5/2 diet is sustainable for me as I only use it to lose weight after creeping up a few pounds. I would do the protein diet for months in order to lose what I can in a week or two with the 5/2. The important part is to never binge, and to seriously make an attempt to eat healthy all the...

I used the protein diet (low carbs) for years to get some weight off. But for 30 years I was extremely active in addition to exercising 3+ hours per day. Try the so called 5/2 diet. Eat normally for 5, then keep it below 600 cal. for 2. Depending on how much you need to lose, it's not...

For some reason I was compelled to buy a MK1 Browning BAR 30-06 a while back. I finally spent some time at my range with it and found it to be a real shooter. So, the next issue was "how the heck do you break this thing down to clean it?" U-tube had the answer. Now it can assume its position...

I'm a lightweight at 188#, but I am in and am shooting for 178#. I've got a great six-pack hiding in there somewhere that I haven't seen for a while.

I've been suffering from a new mattress that was just too firm. So, after sleeping in my hammock for the last few weeks we broke down and bought a Sleep Number bed. That thing really works for me, but when the sales lady asked if we wanted the "sleep monitor app"????? That's where the record...

I had planned to be a career Marine, but ended that after 6 years. Then I was enrolled for electrician school in the fall, working as a smokechaser for the USFS during the spring. On a June afternoon I was reading the local paper and saw an ad for testing for a police officer position, to be...

Bill, you could lard up on craft beer and ice cream before the first so you can really participate in the challenge.
