    Success in the High Desert

    Our OR elk hunt was tough this year, but we kept after it and on day 5 we saw and killed the only two elk we saw. I was able to connect on a young 5 point and my son tagged out with a spike. It was a great trip with family. A few ducks and chukars fell to my sons 20 gauge also.

    Boneyard

    Definitely sharpen them. It works great! Just a little steel, works great to touch up the rolled edges. Then when I get home I sharpen them on my sharpening wheel and then on the buffing wheel and they seem even sharper than the original. I do this multiple times and very rarely need to buy new...

    Unit 43 float hunt

    The John Day typically has pretty low flows during deer season. Sometimes it's low enough to be a real pain to float. The Deschutes will have plenty of water, but does have some pretty technical water in areas. I'm not an experienced boater, but have spent a fair amount of time on both rivers...

    My Dream Hunts List

    I'd say go for it if it's affordable. If it's what you love to do, why not? A good (by good , I mean highly sought after; they are all good) muley tag is getting harder to come by all the time. If you happen to draw a good tag somewhere else, then oh well I guess you can have two dream hunts the...

    A few caribou, just for fun.

    Oh man, would I have loved to seen that last September. I was glad we came home with some great huckleberry fed black bear, but my main goal was to fill my caribou draw tag and I struck out. All the trips I've made to AK and I still have not hung my tag on a mature bull caribou. It's definitely...

    AK Spring Grizzly

    Thanks everyone! This was a hunt that I've been wanting to do for a long time and it sure was worth the wait. This was a hunt my Dad always wanted to experience, but unfortunately he passed away before he had the opportunity. I dug his model 70 .338 that was handed down to me, out of the safe. I...

    AK Spring Grizzly

    We guessed him to be about 7.5'. What is so amazing is how thick and wide their head and body are compared to the black bears I've killed. They are such an impressive animal and I feel really lucky for the opportunities I have had in AK . I was also able to tag out on a nice black bear boar...

    AK Spring Grizzly

    I was finally able to take advantage of an opportunity to hunt Interior Grizzly, thanks to an old childhood friend and my brother-in-law who both live in AK now. He wasn't the biggest boy in the woods, but I'm super happy with his color and hair quality. At the fish and game check-in they...
