I just received a letter from "North Shore Agency" (a collection agency) notifying me that I owe money to them for a subscription to RIFESHOOTER for a subscription that I let expire. I tried the magazine for one year and found out it wasn't what I expected, so I let it expire. This is a scam...

I've been butchering and cooking my wild game for 50 years with great success. A friend suggested I try something different preparing some venison I shot last fall. I cut backstrap steaks extra thick (1 1/2 to 2") and soaked them in buttermilk in the refer overnight. Removed them and put them...

Leaving in the morning to scout a new unit or 2 not all that far from my homeplace. The units I am looking at take around 10 to 12 points to draw and I have 15, so if I like what I see, I'll be hunting near home and burning my points.I'll be staying a couple of days, so I should have plenty of time.

On another thread you can see how I converted a cargo trailer into a hunting rig. I carry everything including 2 atv's in it. Set up a 12x12 patio awning with a couple of 6' tables and a big propane stove. Sleep in the trailer on bunks that fold up on the walls. 6000 btu catalytic heater inside...

Stocks are traditionally made of walnut. It has great strength to weight. I personally do not like oak, to heavy and more difficult to work with. Do you plan on sending a piece of wood to a shop that has a profiler? Unless you are an experienced wood worker, making a stock from a blank hunk of...

I leave myself logged on when I leave the forum. Makes it a lot easier when returning later, don't have to enter user name and pass word. A couple of days ago my computer started logging me off when I leave. I did not change any setting or anything else that I know of. Anyone else have this...

I already posted my rifles & stats, but thought everyone might get a kick out of this. After my Dad passes in 2012, I have is rifle, the only rifle he ever had that I knew of. Sometime back pre WWII my Dad got a 03 Springfield. Over the years he sporterized it like everyone did back then. (new...

I have already applied for my Desert Sheep, Elk & Moose tags. Point only for Deer this year, after burning all mine last year. All that is left is Antelope. Looking at a new unit and will be scouting it next month, just before tags are due. Going to spend 3 or 4 days with my spotting scope...

Got my brochure in the mail yesterday.

Here you go guys. 21 geese & 21 ducks taken that were banded. This from about 50 years of duck/goose hunting in California, Mexico, Colorado and Arizona. There don't seem to be as many banded birds these days. There were a couple that had bands on their legs and around their neck...

Don't know how many of you keep up with military arms, but the CMP (Civilian Marksmanship Program) has M1 Carbines available in a limited number. I just sent off my application this am. They are $685 for service grade & 625 for field grade. Pretty good price for something that is fun to shoot...

A group of my lifelong friends and I get together every few years for a chukkar hunt in northern Nevada. There is lots of old mining claims in the area. One day I was walking along and area that had lots of old mining activity. I came across a piece of a 4x4 with an aluminum sign nailed to it...

Left something for someone to find..... The pictures are from our annual family deer hunt in the Ansel Adams Wilderness in California. Placques are on a huge Ponderosa about 5 to 6 miles from camp and trail. This is our favorite hunting area. First plaque was for my Grandfather which I put...

As hunters we are always asking the question "I wonder how much moisture my favorite hunting area is getting". Well the answer here in SW Colorado is LOTS! It has been snowing off & on since before Christmas. Got our first snow just before Thanksgiving just before 4th rifle season opening. Most...

Xtreme, one of our members who always gives great advice & information, is undergoing surgery this AM to repair a broken ankle. We should all wish him well and a speedy recovery. Take care Pard and get well soon, ready for 2016 hunting season!

I just bought a new truck...upgraded my towing and hunting truck. When I bought the 2012 in April, I really wanted a shortbed and my dealer didn't have hardly any inventory. I was in last week about a problem with the 2012 (4wd wasn't working) and they had several really nice low mileage used...

Same to you and yours. Have had 18" of new snow in the last 48 hrs...truly a white Christmas.

This is it when I was 13. Hands down my 03 Sporterized Springfield rifle. I got it on my 12th birthday (1953) from my Grandfather. He bought 8 or 10 Springfields & Enfields thru the NRA for less than $10.00 apiece. First thing we did was cut down the military stock so it would fit me. Over the...
