    Wyoming mule deer hunts

    Finding a 200 inch mule deer is a holy grail that very few will ever do. Even if you draw the best mule deer area in any state you need to prepare yourself to go home empty handed even after putting in for years for that once in a lifetime chance. I have been lucky enough to of hunted some of...

    How Do You Breakdown an Elk?

    Actually a cordless sawzall with a bone cutting blade would work quite well

    What is Trophy Hunting?

    Yes it did, just like in all marriages... But I'm making up for it, perhaps a little bit late but I'm getting there.

    What is Trophy Hunting?

    Back when I got married we took our honeymoon to the big island over in Hawaii. My new bride hated it when we went out fishing and then when she seen me talking to a outfitter about a wild boar hunt I almost lost my manhood. The funny thing was that she was OK doing all the things that she...

    CVA Optima Muzzleloader

    With a muzzle loader as with center fire rifles you often find that the best accuracy is not with the max load but usually a little bit lighter. My .54 caliber TC Renegade hates max loads of anything. But if you back them down a ways it will shoot lights out with what I like to shoot out of...

    CVA Optima Muzzleloader

    I'm running 100 grains of BH 209 with a TC Barnes EZ bullet and it shoots great out of my Accura. But unless I can find some BH 209 this summer I'll be shooting 777 or Pyrodex. I never tried any of the other powders since I sighted it in and it was shooting so well at 150 yards.

    The 1 Thing You Learned- Rifles

    You need to read the story, Dixon wasn't on a horse but inside of a wall, the Comanche chief was on the horse. And back then when hunters depended on their rifles for their lives they knew a lot more about them than a lot of shooters do now

    The 1 Thing You Learned- Rifles

    He was a buffalo hunter who way back in the 1800 knocked a Comanche chief off of his horse and killed him at 1538 yards with a single shot. The party of hunters were surrounded by upwards of 1200 Comanches. Or so the story goes. It is a neat read. Some say that he was using a borrowed 50-90...

    Mega Millions lottery

    One day I was doing next to nothing and figured that if it was invested properly then most of your family would never have to work a day in their life. Since I am single I have often wondered just what to do with my investments once I am gone. I am looking real hard at setting up a education...

    We need to go back to: Ride Fast and Take Chances

    I used to always say that if you are not breaking something you are not having fun. Well, at least not breaking bones... That's the problem now days, everything is built for our safety in mind. Do you remember when they changed from flat boards on swings to those rubber straps where you...

    If I remember right I have a 500 lb Mk-82 bomb off of a A-10 that crashed south of I-70 a number of years ago. The Air Force searched for a couple of years for it. They found one of them but not the second. They even brought in divers to check out the lakes in the areas where the plane...

    What is Trophy Hunting?

    For Africa it is the experience. No other place can you go and see such a variety of animals that you can hunt. And while a lot of it is high fence hunting you will hike for a very long time across some of these properties before you find the fence. I know that where I was hunting in 2015...

    What is Trophy Hunting?

    In the last 25 or so years you could say that I have turned into a "trophy hunter". I look for the best animal that I can find, it isn't as easy now as it was 25 years ago but I find myself being more selective of what I pull the trigger on. But when meat is needed for the freezer that small...
