The story entitled "We are Trophy Hunters" n the latest February issue really got my blood boiling. The author Joe Coogan obviously has lots of Africa hunting ties. His whole story never once mentions the aspect of killing a game animal for eating purposes. All he talks about is horns, claws &...

I have a TC Pro Hunter that I replaced the factory sights with a See All sight. I love it, very accurate and Colorado legal. seeallopensight.com

We finally got some much needed snow. We got about 6" at my place (6800') and the local mountains got a lot more. I got to use the snow blade I bought for my Yamaha Rhino utv and it worked slick.

CNN has produced a new film called "Trophy" which according to their website is about trophy hunting. It premiers on Sunday January 14th on CNN. I can imagine what the message will be....ANTI HUNTING! According to their writeup and release on the film it is about trophy hunting in Africa for...

I just read the sticky and unfortunately the articles are not there. I am getting out of the dark ages and getting a smart phone, my current send/receive cell is being retired. What is suggested (smart phones) for the best picture quality?

I want to post a few more pictures. Took my Dad to Diamond Valley Lake for a guided fishing on Fathers Day a few years after I retired, lots of trout & bass. Also a pict of salmon Dad & I caught in a rented skiff out of Ft. Bragg, Calif. Also him on his last horseback wilderness trip in the...

I am sure a lot of you have read some of my posts here on the Forum. I started hunting when I was really young (7) and have been taught by my Dad. Dad loved anything to do with hunting or fishing. I was his oldest child and only son, so you know I got special attention. I hunted and fished with...

Snowed a little last night, our first snow on this winter. Can't see the mountains, but I'm sure they got quite a bit. Need more for sure. Yes...Bigfoot was here too! LOL

Took me awhile to remember that I said I'd post some picts of my models. The one on the far right is the Navaho ICBM, next is F18, then Apollo command module with escape tower, Then B2, X15 and YF22. The Navaho, Apollo and YF22 models were made by the company model shop. There is also my B2...

I have been butchering my own meat for 40 or so years. Once I started doing it myself, I NEVER got a bad piece of venison. I take special care in cutting and trimming the meat. I did get a small buck once that was tougher than shoe leather.....even the tenderloin. Ended up grinding it all...

My first big game animal was a doe mule deer I shot when I was 12 in 1954. I was hunting with my Dad and another friend of his and his son. Both of us boys had drawn doe tags and we both filled our tags. In California, you need to be at least 12 years old to hunt big game. I was shooting my 03...

Just got back from a quick road trip to Salt Lake City, Rawlings Cheyenne and Denver. My son relocated his trucking business from Denver to SLC and I helped him move some stuff. I have never seen it so dry in southern Wyoming and from Denver to Alamosa/Wolf Creek Pass. Almost no snow along I-80...

My very first big game rifle was a 30-06 03 military Springfield made in 1927 my Grandfather got from the NRA in about 1950. I still have it and use it as a backup. My primary deer/antelope rifles is a tang safety Ruger M77 in 25-06. I use a custom .300 Wby for elk & moose. This is the fully...

Been getting a lot of PMs from people not registered and no posts on the Forum asking for information. I usually won't give them anything until they are officially a Forum member and have introduced themselves. Even then I keep pretty closed mouth, it just kinda irritates me. Just wondering...

My Dad and I on my first backcountry horseback deer hunting trip, 1954 when I was 12 years old. Dad and I in Wyoming hunting antelope.....many, many years later.

I love to fish, camp and do some hiking. I also am a car nut. Built several street rods and love car racing(all types). I am alos a competitive shooter. I shoot Bulls Eye Pistol and Cowboy Action. I shoot all winter in Az, NM & Calif. My 1957 Ranchero...before and after. Has a 351 Cleveland...

Monte Carlo raises your sight plane. Depends on how the stock is designed. If you have a scope that is mounted high (like to clear a 50mm objective lens) then it will probably help. A lot depends on the makeup of you body eg. short neck, long arms, etc. I made custom stocks for 40 years and...

I just got this back from my local Taxi, it is a reconditioned mule deer mount my Dad shot in 1946. Pretty unusual as it was shot in the Malibu Mts. near LA by my Dad. After the War, my Dad bought 10 acres in Malibu (wish we had it today!) and we were going to move there. He built a cabin and we...

Picture of my Grandfather hunting ducks & geese at the Salton Sea in California. Taken about 1950. He is shooting his old Winchester M97 12 ga with a Cutts compensator on the end of the barrel. Had different choke tubes that could be screwed in...way ahead of it's time. He used to call it his...

Let me add a little more about our annual family High Sierra deer hunting trip. My Grandfather, Dad & Uncle started hunting this particular area right after WWII, having Red's Meadows Pack Station near Mammoth Mt pack us into the backcountry, always to the same camp. My first trip was in the...
