    costum rifle...

    You might look at the Kelbly - they make a great gun - http://www.kelbly.com/rifles-hunting.html I have one made in a 7 mm WSM and it shoots under 1/2 moa. They started as bench rest gun makers and then added some hunting rifles. They make their own actions. I had them use a #4 sporter Brux...

    The Tax Day Giveaway!

    My son, Brandon is now 16 and strong enough to handle a full size compound bow. I shoot the Bowtech Experience and have seen firsthand how accurate and smooth it shoots. He loves to hunt and owning a top quality bow like the Experience would be a dream come true for my son. I can picture he...

    Good news, Bears!

    Here are some photos taken through my spotting scope while scouting for bears. The bear in the snow is a bit fuzzy, it was taken from over 2 miles away through the Swarovski spotter and my phone. The brown sow sleeping with yearling cub was cool to spot and there is a black sow on rocky face...

    Sons Idaho Black Bear Hunt

    Here is a picture I meant to put in, this is the sow with the 3 tiny cubs. She would carry one up the hill and the others would catch up. Then she would pick up a different one and carry it for a while as the other two would scramble this really steep rocky hill. I saw some really cool stuff...

    Bino adapter for tripod?

    Here is a photo of my Bino Holder - by Bog Pod, it is easy on and off, very secure and I love it. Been glassing for bears and the tripod has saved my shoulders and arms. I tell you the glass on my new 10x42 EL Swarovski glasses is unreal. I saw a bear from 2 miles away the other day.

    Sons Idaho Black Bear Hunt

    Ok, I hit the dirt and spent a couple days looking for bear and found some. Now if I can get the boys out of school, we may be able to get something done. Bears sleeping and black sow with 3 cubs. My oldest son dressed warm for a day of glassing. That day we only saw one bear and it went into...

    archery ground blind..

    When I started turkey hunting with my sons at ages 10, I purchased the Double Bull Matrix. We have really enjoyed it. It is the only way to hunt turkeys with kids that need to move around alot. All 3 of us could get in there and I would run the video camera. We have shot several doubles out...

    Reloading Bullet Question - Sierra Gameking

    I am loading some rounds for my son Brandon's 270 Winchester. Has anyone used the Sierra Gameking bullet in 150 grain? I am looking for a good bullet for Bear hunting for him. I have a 7 mm WSM with 180 gr. VLD berger, but he is left eye dominant and loves his LH Tika T3 and wants to use...

    Colorado Mule Deer and Black Bear Combo Hunt

    My sons drew a spring bear tag so we are heading out Friday to see what is out. We spotted this bear a month ago in the area they will be hunting, it was 500 yards across a draw. We got to watch him for 1/2 hour until he went into the thick timber.

    Camo patterns for archery out west

    I used to hunt Max 4 and liked it. Then I started buying Sitka optifade and it is great. Sitka blends in well with the Sage, Step, rocky country I mostly hunt in. I have not tried all the brands, but this one is the most comfortable I've had. Agreed the price is steep, but I hope it is an...

    7wsm brass

    No problem, if you need it later, let me know. I just hold onto it in case I need it some time. Nickel Brass is harder on the trimming, but it has loaded pretty nice. If you get to where you are fire forming the 300 I can send exactly what I did to make some great 7mm brass - stuff shoots...

    angle vs. straight eye piece on spotting scope?

    It sounds like 50/50 for and against angled. I have had a straight and just purchased a new angled last fall. I love the rotating collar on the angled so I can just pan across and then rotate the scope and not have to move much. I also love to take photos and digiscope with my angled and...

    New from Idaho

    Of course I'm new, that's why I'm posting here. I like the "feel" of the comments here and there does not seem to be the "attitude" that shows on other sites. I am pretty avid in the outdoors, fishing, hunting, hiking, camping and enjoying God's creation. I bow hunt, rifle hunt, flyfish in...

    Sons Idaho Black Bear Hunt

    I am the lucky father of two boys who drew Spring Bear tags in Idaho Unit 22/31. We have never hunted bear there before and are pretty new to the bear hunting scene. I went scouting a couple weeks ago and saw one bear, but could not get to the places I hoped to go, as there was still some snow...
