    I can actually show you quite a bit of land that was opened up in Utah when they purchased a ranch and then turned it over. It is prime elk habitat. What was the problem with the spider bull? I know that the outfitter had a bounty out on it but nothing about the RMEF.

    Veterans Day

    Here is a video of one that I found by accident years ago. At that time you needed to hike into it but now you can drive a vehicle to within a few hundred yards of it I believe.

    Veterans Day

    Here is something that I need to go see one of these days, it is the Anthem Veterans Memorial. At exactly 11:11 a.m. every Veterans Day, the sun aligns perfectly with the Anthem Veterans Memorial in Arizona to shine through the ellipses of the five marbled pillars representing each branch of...

    What to top my new rifle with

    I should also say that to properly use a turret on any scope you are to going to have to know the velocity and the BC of the bullet that the round is shooting. For those of us that reload and have a chronograph it is simple. If you only purchase factory loads it won't be as simple. Factory...

    What to top my new rifle with

    You just need to get into the habit of turning it back to zero after shooting. I have my 25-06 zeroed at 250 yards so I am good for 400 yards with just using a little Kentucky windage but like the turret if I have the time to get set up for longer shots or even those 400 yard ones

    What to top my new rifle with

    I read where some of the Leupolds were having a return to zero problem but that it was addressed. I have had zero problems with my VX3i 4x14

    What to top my new rifle with

    I'm with CC. That scope is a great one. However my loads are a Barnes 100 grain TTSX which shoots fantastic out of my Weatherby Vanguard

    CO 2nd season story

    It was a strange year this year out there. The deer didn't start to migrate until after the season started. There were some does and small bucks but the big boys were holding back. We didn't get as much snow as you did. On the Thursday night before the hunt we got enough snow to cover the...

    Interesting Alaskan Article

    I read the article the other day and am glad that the court found the way that they did. As far as the area being inundated with air boats, hydra foils, or other hunters I highly doubt it.

    Found a big one

    Good luck on him. I had a 4th season buck tag in 44 a number of years ago and put a 200"+ buck to sleep the day before the opening. On the opening morning I found that there had been a truck and 2 or 2 ATV's into the area where he was hanging out at. Never did find him or even his does...

    Best Western Caliber?

    I have been doing some reading on the 6.5 PRC. It has all the benefits of the 6.5 bullet along with 200 fps more than the Creedmore with the same bullet. And while it isn't a 6.5-300 Weatherby it is a interesting round and should be good on just about any North American animal except for the...

    Africa 2021

    It will be one of the funnest hunts of your life. The only thing that I didn't like about my trip was the trip home.

    Moose Ribs

    I'm the same type of person. I couldn't tell you the amount of deer that I have brought out in pieces. It took me two days to get one out many years ago and I though that I had found a deer heaven so I went back into the same area the next year before daylight. Much to my surprise I saw...

    Moose Ribs

    I was just going to mention that along with some stainless blades for it. It will make quick work on any animal that is laying on the ground, and with them weighing in at around 6 lbs are worth their weight to bring back in if you have to head to a truck for the packing gear.
