    Another bear attack

    4 friends went to Alaska. They split into 2 groups. All 4 of the guys killed bull moose. This was the last bull they killed. The deceased and his friend were butchering the bull when the bear sprung on them.

    Learning Curves of Bowhunting

    Solid advice. I was in the middle of a bench crouched by a log when I killed my bull. Was going to run right by me at less than 5 yards.

    Another bear attack

    I got a little more info on this story because I know a guy who spoke to the mans (who was killed) cousin. The victim's hunting buddy was there with him at the time of the attack and shot/shot at the bear....unloading his rifle but the bear had already done his damage. Then the guy had to sit...

    skunked in Colorado

    I cant speak for everywhere but where I was hunting elk they were COMPLETELY bedded by 8:00AM and didn't move until an hour before dark. The temps were just too high for them to be active mid-day. In over 80 miles and 8 days of being in the woods from well before daylight to well after dark, I...

    2020 Elk Hunt

    This is how the hunt ended. Better late than never. The hunting pressure was so extreme this year. It appeared that everyone there was pretty gung ho. 2nd to last evening. 20 yard broadside shot. My buddy with his 6X6 grueling pack-out. Got mine on the last evening last 30 minutes. 4.5 yard...

    2020 Elk Hunt

    I didn't touch the snake. Its just a gopher snake and it was at 10,800'. I took a picture of it and left it right where I found it. Packing the shed out while hunting just was not practical. Not even in the least little bit. I travel with a very small day pack and would have had to carry it...

    2020 Elk Hunt

    We took that picture and left it lying there... Packing it around for the rest of the day in the terrain we were in was NOT an option. My wife did not agree at the time but about an hour later she understood why we left it. lol

    Getting things ready for your seasons.

    Meh, I cant hit anything past 200 yards anyhow so I guess I have nothing to contribute to the MOA debate.... I just hide behind a flamingo decoy and move closer...lol T-Minus 18 hours and I am heading through the eye of a hurricane (Literally from the looks of things) for Colorado...
