Thought I'd add a pic showing the amount of fat on this old guys back. Over 4" in spots and it was only mid Sept. This pic is showing the cut down through the back right between the hams and the rib cage.

Well I lucked out and got a big bear just in time to get him cut up (with my brothers help) and in the freezer. I actually had to postpone my departure date to UT for my MZ Elk hunt a couple days. I had seen a small bear 3 different times (one of those I sat within 20 yards) but against my...

I ran into this one and two others during one stalk on a antelope hunt in MT. It must have been close to a den, because I haven't ran into any on other hunts or on any other stalks during that hunt. It definitely reminded me to pay attention though:)

I've hunted it a couple times I'll send a PM.

I have a Knight MK-85 MZ that I shoot conicals, caps and peep sights with. I love this gun and it's legal in OR, CO, ID, WA etc.. I am hunting elk in UT with a MZ this year and hope to take advantage of their more liberal MZ restrictions. I am looking to buy a MZ that I'll shoot strictly sabots...

Well not really fishing, but clamming is a great way to get through the off-season too. Thought I'd throw a couple pics we took with limits of razor and bay clams while the family was at the coast.

Well it looks like I finally out ran the point creep. I've been to this unit with my brother during the late rifle a few years back, but I know this will be quite a bit different. I'm still kind of in shock I actually drew, because I thought I'd draw the last two years and didn't:)

Does anyone have experience in unit 62 for elk or deer. I'm especially interested in elk with a MZ, but I am also curious about the deer opportunities as well. I have never set foot in the unit and I am just starting my research, so I've got a lot to sort through. I will have a ton of more...

The Weatherby would have been the perfect gun for the Centennial Valley antelope hunt!

My Buddy rented the Iridium from a local dealer and it worked great. It actually saved us a major hike out to cell reception in uncharacteristic sub-zero temps. We were floating a river on a sheep hunt and we got totally froze in. We were able to reach family to let them know we were just fine...

Half way out with my first Mt. Goat. Right about now I'm thinking about how to lighten my pack next time:)

Buddy's 2014 OR Sheep hunt.

Looked at my AK draw results, Nothing but a lot of NO's. Looks like if I go up this year, it will be over the counter. Hope everyone else had good luck!

I'm just about ready to pull the trigger on an elk unit for WY, But one unit I was curious about that I haven't found much info on is 35. Would anyone want to share their thoughts or experience in 35. It would be a non-resident DIY public land hunt and bow or rifle are both options. Thanks, for...

I was hoping to get some of you folks opinions on good choices for WY elk. I have 7 pts. and I am afraid I might be in no mans land so to speak. I am a non resident DIY only guy, so as discussed heavily on here, unfortunately my choices are limited to non-wilderness areas (probably) or find a...

Thanks Kifaru! This bag would be great for my next pack in adventure. I would love to try a quality bag on a trip like my Kodiak Island Mt. Goat trip or the OR Bighorn Sheep OIL hunt I helped my buddy on this year.

I could definitely put this to use when I draw my OIL OR Sheep Tag next year:)!

Here's a few pics of my trip to Kodiak, AK in Sept. I had a great trip and even though I was a little disappointed in my judging skills, I was successful in taking my first goat and learned a ton for my next trip. I also took the opportunity to fish for some silvers before heading home. Kodiak...

Thought I'd post a pic of my OR Blacktail. Each year I head out to multiple states for multiple species, but hunting blacktails at home with the family is still one of the most challenging and fun hunts each year!

My daughter was able to get home from college again this year, to hunt blacktails. We were super short on time for my daughter's hunt (less than two full days). Maybe not the biggest deer, but she made a perfect shot and he'll be great eating. The time spent hunting together with my kids, makes...
