On my brother's elk hunt this year I had the chance to see firsthand performance of Berger Hunting VLD bullets or better yet lack of performance. The bullet was a 190 grain 30-06. The first shot to hit the bull was from a quarteing to angle and hit just behind the shoulder. From the actions of...

Headed out in the morning to Arizona where my brother has a rifle bull elk tag. Same area we have hunted on his last 4 elk tags successfully. Hope we can get it done again.

I made some antelope shanks for dinner yesterday from the buck my son got last week. I just cut them off the bone because I don't have a meat saw. They're kind of small but more than enough for 2 people. I just browned them up real good after seasoning with garlic salt and pepper and rolled...

We just got back from my son's antelope hunt and it was a great trip. We checked a lot of country that was devoid of antelope where we had seen them in the past. Once we found where they were hanging out and looked over probably 20-25 different bucks along a valley about 15 miles long. My son...

Since I really like beef tongue I thought I would try an elk tongue if I get my cow this year. They are almost as big as beef tongue. I don't know why I never though of this before, guess I'm just a little slow. We've been wasting them all these years.:mad: Have any of you guys ever tried elk...

Some people think Nevada is all desert like the drive between LA and Vegas. When they ask where to go camping I always tell them Utah because I figure if they can't go and find places for themselves I don't want to see them in our camping areas.

Just got back from a weeklong family camping trip with the family. My son and I found a basin full of bucks anywhere from 18-25 inches wide. We found 3 absolute monsters 30 inches plus. We watched them all morning and noticed that as soon as the sun touched them they started wandering toward...

Ok so I watched the video here for the Yeti Rambler and thought it would be a good choice for use while driving. After watching several side by side comparison tests with the Ozark trail tumbler which costs about $30 less, I'm thinking of going with the walmart knockoff because it looks like...

I just got through reading an article in the latest EHJ written by a guy who hunted elk in NV unit 111 late rifle season. He took a great bull. So congrats to him. But something he wrote made me laugh because he said the access was "extremely limited". I find that funny because almost every inch...

Here's a couple of pics from a few years ago when the birds were thick. Sometimes we have lots of birds down here in southern Nevada.

I lucked upon a set of new tires for the old pick-up last week and got them for less than half price. They are E load rated Nitto Terra Grappler All-terrains and I couldn't pass them up for such a great deal. They look pretty good and the tread pattern is a little more open that a lot of other...

Finally found a good pic of the bull I took way back in 1996.

I'm wondering how some pics that are posted show up on the screen as full size pics and some come out as thumbnails? Any pics that I post come out as thumbnails. Is there any way to chance that? All my pics are uploaded from my pc.

Has anyone ever burned wood from tamarisk trees commonly known as salt cedars? There is a bunch, like probably a cord of 8-10 inch diameter logs the local power company cut away from the powerlines a couple of years ago so I'm sure they are nice and dry. I just don't want to load it all up if it...

I pulled out the grinder again today to make another batch of ground meat. When washing all the parts before using it I noticed the blade wasn't really very sharp. So I put it on a sharpening stone and turned it since it is machined flat it was quite easy and only took about 10 minutes. I'm sure...

I just found out my brother who lives in AZ just drew his 5th elk tag in 12 years. I told him he must have a lucky horseshoe up his @$$!! It's an October rifle hunt in the same area we have hunted 4 times before in September. It should be lots of fun.

Anyone else have the latest copy of this? I have every one since the first edition of 1985. There are so many truely magnificent animals in NV.

I was given a smoker and can't wait to try it out. I already pre-seasoned as per instructions. I have a couple of small trout about 10 inches, without head and tail. Do they need to be fillets? Or can I smoke them whole since they are small. I looked up a few recipes and I will brine...

I have a question for you guys that have a lot more experience hunting elk than I do. I have found deer beds that are so deep you can tell they have been use year after year since who know when. Do elk like to use the same areas to bed year after year also? This past year we found a ridge that a...

Maybe I'm wrong here but when someone says their hunt was DIY doesn't that mean they did in their own? I just read an article in the lastest EHJ about one of the hunters who drew one of the Silver State tags. He hunted with a friend who is a guide but he didn't pay him because he was a friend...
