    Outfitter for a backcountry Elk Hunt

    Elk Springs Outfitters Idaho, they have hunts in the Frank Church. If you are looking for a true back country experience it's hard to beat the Frank Church IMO.

    Wisconsin deer management

    Some Michigan politicians are proposing similar season changes here. What I found interesting is that they noted that the number of licenses sold had dropped for two years in a row and that by adding 10 days to the season more folks would have an opportunity to hunt. Nothing was mentioned...

    12 elk points. which unit?

    The 2020 hunt planner still shows an archery season for 45-1, from Sept 15th to 30th. it's pretty rotten of them to put it on the hunt planner and then change it later. I really can't stand any sort of bait and switch!

    How Young Is Too Young (To Hunt)

    Michigan started an apprentice where someone regardless of age who has never taken hunter safety can purchase an apprentice license for two years and hunt with a mentor who is at least 18 years old and has passed hunter safety. I was really surprised how many older folks (over 20) took...

    How Young Is Too Young (To Hunt)

    Hunting for my family is not just something we do, it's who we are. My kids were always welcome to come with me but I never pushed them. When my oldest son was 10 the state of Michigan changed the age to hunt deer from 14 to 12 for gun and 12 to 10 for archery. I honestly thought it was crazy...

    First time I've seen FIBs in writing. I was taking a sip of coffee when I read it and spit it down my shirt. Pretty accurate description!

    Need an Eastern Bird towards my slam

    Where I live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan there are turkeys everywhere. I had 40 in my yard today. I don't usually hunt them because the season always lined up with my busiest time at work. Check it out, I used to let a gentlemen from Wisconsin hunt on my property and he always got a...

    Rethinking Deer Gun

    It is a great gun! I have been searching gun brokers and Cablela's gun library every couple weeks. I originally purchased the same rifle in 280 rem and really liked it. When the kids got old enough to hunt I started looking for one in 7mm-08. Finally while we were on our way home from a...

    Rethinking Deer Gun

    Just curious, how do you like the Camilla? My daughter uses a Remington 700 Mountain DM in 7mm-08. Before handing it down to her my son shot Antelope at 300 yards, a black bear, mule deer and numerous whitetails. My daughter has already killed 4 bucks with it. Now my wife wants to use it. I...

    What to top my new rifle with

    I've been considering a ballistic turret but I am concerned with my lack of attention span under hunting situations. I have a tendency to get pretty excited in the heat of the moment and I am concerned that I will loose track of where I set/left the turret. Personal problem, I know the point of...
