    NRA Life Membership for $300

    On Facebook my wife ran across a posting about the NRA having a special until the end of April where you can get a lifetime membership for $300. I guess it is normally $1000. She called the NRA today and it is true. With all of the attacks on the Second Amendment, we are thinking of getting...

    Glasses or Contact Lenses?

    I'm 48, and really hoped to make it to 50 before needing glasses, but I didn't quite make it. I tried LASIK 3 years ago on my bad eye (my right/dominant eye) which brought it back to 20/20, but now its right back where it was before LASIK. I am trying to decide whether to go the glasses or...

    Terminology Pet Peeves

    I have been thinking of starting this thread for a while. What are your pet peeves when it comes to hunting? One of mine is the incorrect use of the word "stock" I was "stocking" the antelope. The correct way to say it is...I was "stalking" the antelope. The correct use of these words is...

    Success on California Bighorn in Oregon!

    My wife did it! She got her California Bighorn ram here in Oregon. We were starting to wonder if it was gonna come together. She got her ram on the afternoon of the 8th day on a 9 day season. It green scores 166 3/8 B&C. It was by far the best ram we saw on the hunt.

    SW Wyoming Antelope Pics

    My wife and I hunted SW Wyoming earlier this month and took these bucks. I think the dry year took its toll on horn growth and we looked over a lot of bucks and these were two of the best we found. I'm kinda dusty in my pic after crawling on my stomach for a 1/4 mile...lol. Nothing beats...

    Montana Unit 215 Antelope

    Hi...I just found out my wife and I drew Unit 215 for antelope in Montana. We had applied there since it was about the toughest unit to draw in the state and was closer to Oregon and my plan was just to earn a point. Well, it was looking like a slow year for tags with only a tag for Utah deer...
