    Youth gun

    My 8 year old daughter took her first big game animal this year a doe pronghorn. She used a 223 55 grain bullet and we got to about 100 yards. I think this caliber is to small for big game. She is very comfortable with the recoil and that was the main reason for the choice of this caliber...

    Bear hunt

    Did you guys hear about this dip shit that was baiting the bears? The first guy that filled the very first tag on the first bear season was baiting with apples and I think bacon grease. That's just friggin stupid! Give these people more fuel to stop the bear hunt in the future.

    What do they do with all that meat?

    I've always wondered what the guys on the TV shows do with all the meat they harvest. These guys are taking 5+ deer, a few Elk, Does, Cows, Buffalo, all these animals and there is no way they are keeping it for them selves it would spoil before they could eat it all and how could they store it...

    Truck trouble

    Was out for a quick scout by Mt Rose on Fri and put a frigging rock through my front differential! Of corse it's aluminum and broke the hell out of it! I hauled ass off the hill to get to the main road so if I needed a tow it would be a little cheaper. After I inspected the damage I realized the...

    Elk - A tough animal

    My buddy and I were on his elk hunt. He killed a 350 bull. When we go to him we saw how bad of shape he was in. We decided that he was in a bad fight with another bull or Mt lion. He had multiple puncture wounds in his chest and front legs. He was very sick. When we quartered him it was pretty...

    MT public land DYI

    This is a buck I found last year in Nov. I wish I had a tag and yes they have either been hurt during a fight or somehow lost the testicals. These bucks do not loose the velvet and I think that they do not shed either. If you look at this deer you can see how short his nose is and he looks like...
