    Homemade Rifle Vice

    Good job. I have had mine for probably 30 years. When you need one, nothing else will do the job.

    Colorado goes to 100% Draw for Nonresident Archery Licenses

    Let me start by saying that I am not an archery hunter. About 15 years ago I decided I wanted to hunt during the elk rut and experience what all my archery hunting buddies always said was the ultimate elk experience. Hearing a rutting bull and seeing him come to a call close enough to smell him...

    Big Whitetail From Illinois in Basement over 30YRS

    The Malibu story..... During WW2 my Dad was a Superintendent on the P51 Mustang assembly line, They would not take him in the service because his job was to important. He saved enough money that he bought 10 acres in Malibu just above the beach. He built a cabin (he called it "his shack") and...

    Bipod Review

    I have a slightly different take on this subject. My primary reason for using this is as a walking stick to help with my balance on uneven ground and then as a support for offhand shooting. At my age (82) and with 2 replacement knees and an ankle too, I feel much steadier with a walking...

    Big Whitetail From Illinois in Basement over 30YRS

    My thoughts are similar to RICMIC's. What I have are rememberances of my hunts. I do have a mount that was my Dad's that he shot before I was old enough to hunt. It was shot in Malibu, Ca. (Malibu is another story for another time) and in pretty shabby condition when he passed away. I took it to...

    WY Unit 90 Pronghorn

    Special antelope tags are around $1,000. Sorry, I am not paying that for an antelope tag ANYWHERE! I have hun ted 90 many years ago on private ground, so I really can't say about public.

    Shooting Sticks

    I use a walking stick that doubles as a bipod. Look for "Triggerstick". Made as a single walking stick or with 2 legs. Made by Primos

    2024 NR tags

    I also like the challenge of me against the animal on their terms and in their habitat. You are right about the cost, it has really got out of hand, especially for a non resident. I have wanted to hunt Alaskan moose, but with the cost of a NR tag going through the roof, that is out of the...

    Memorial Day

    Today is a day to remember all our Veterans who gave their lives so we can have and benefit from all the freedoms we have. I especially remember SFC Antonio Osuna, my basic training NCO who taught me what it meant to be in the military and to be a soldier in the US Army. He gave his life in Viet...

    Here Come The Wolverines

    As soon as they do and find out how much they cost, all licenses and pref pts will cost more to cover that cost....and a little more to cover the restocking fees and whatever else they can figure out to add .

    How to Hunt Raccoons at Night?

    When I was a kid my Dad used to hunt them. He hunted them at night with a couple of hounds. Usually the dogs would tree the raccoon, then shoot them with a .22 rimfire rifle. What I remember most is the mosquitos, they were fierce!

    Colorado Needs Your Help

    Down here in SW Colorado, some areas are thick with them. Usually it is where there are cattle. Several years ago I was sitting near some oak brush having lunch while I was elk hunting. I picked 4 or 5 of those little buggers off of my shirt. I moved pretty quick. Usually during hunting season...

    Here Come The Wolverines

    What a waste of money. Colorado is the very southern part of their historical range and there probably were not very many here at their peak population.
