The GPS map overlay that the county has for my property does not coincide with the US Geological survey markers. Therefore the county plat book is also off (in my case, 34'). A GPS itself, even working with accurate information is not exact, but is generally within 16' or so (or so Garmin...

Dan, that is the exact rifle that I recently passed on to my grandson. It was my go-to deer rifle for a number of years, and always did the job, plus several antelope does out to 200 yards. My grandson is only 120# and not likely to get bigger at age 21, so this rifle was a great fit for him...

I love my 30-06 Tikka and never found recoil to be an issue. If you are a recoil wus, first of all, see if you need to upgrade your recoil pad. Also, unless you do a lot of foot humping when you hunt, having an ultra-lightweight rifle isn't necessary and increases the perceived recoil...

Kudos to your wife. She gets a day off from the treadmill today.

Looks like the boy likes your deer better than his mother's. Not to many years and he will be in the stand with you. Nice bucks.

Some critters just tip on over when they're shot in the boiler room, but elk definitely aren't one of them. If they're still standing you better be shooting. Great video.

Marcus, I didn't think that I had any place recommending the surgery option for you, but it appears that you are working with professionals on that issue, so good luck. A short story; I have a good hunting buddy who blossomed to 460# on a 5'9" medium frame. He went up and down, but always...

I've got to congratulate you Marcus for your efforts. It appears to me that you are addressing the physical side of the fitness/weight loss regiment. I know that finding time for a workout is difficult while having a job and a young family, but keep at it young man. I am not any kind of an...

WOW! I would be a lot more than just "dissatisfied" , more like "pissed-off". I was trying to narrow my search for an Alaska hunt and found several similar type reviews of an outfit that I was looking at. I always ask for and follow up on references, but you would think that you will only get...

I never consider a hunt a failure as long as I can get out hunting, see some new country, enjoy time with friends and take another breath in God's country. Having said that, here's my talley. Tags punched - one bull elk (CO) one antelope doe (WY) Tag soup - mule...

Looks great Bill. I did my own elk European mount this year, but had to buy a bigger pot to do it. Now I'm good for everything except moose.

Good write-up Seal. You seem to appreciate those hunts where you have to work the hardest for them.

Way to work it Bill. Your quote about running out of health before you run out of money hits me every time when I see a buddy struck down by different things. An extra reminder to me to do it while I can.

Good job; it's great that you have the next generation getting out there and hunting. Their young backs likely were good to have along too.

Cool looking deer Bill. Big body on him too. What state?

Just don't wait too long.

Most on the forum know this, but for those who don't.....the feed grounds wouldn't be necessary if they burned down all the towns and ranches that were build on the winter range. The feed grounds are paid for by hunters, not tourists, photographers, or ranchette owners.

Nice two Hardstalk

Thanks AK. I just sent a PM to Bonecollector, maybe we can get together on something. My wife and I will be in WA and OR this summer, and are looking at some fishing charters off the coast. She revealed that her only interest in an Alaska trip was for the fishing, and we can do that in OR...

AK; I'll have to look at this, as my wife just informed me that after 30 years of talking about an Alaska road trip, that she would just prefer to spend the time visiting with her family in WA and OR. We were deep in the planning stage for the trip next summer. But, she did say that maybe I...
