    Muzzle Loader Bullets

    I have a .50 TC Black Diamond Express front stuffer that I use and am not extremely happy with the bullets I have been using.

    Had to do it again...another wilderness elk hunt.

    After my not so successful Wyoming Thorofare Teton Wilderness elk hunt, I am doing another one. While I was toying with the idea of going back to Thorofare with a different outfitter, I thought about the problems we had and decided not to go there. I committed to go in 2013 with a Colorado...

    Wyoming Thorofare Hunt

    After 20 years of applying (and not drawing) for unit 100, I decided to hunt with an outfitter in the Thorofare area of NW Wy. After a lot of research I booked a wilderness hunt with Hidden Creek Outfitters. My question is has anyone hunted with them? If so what was your experience. I am going...
