    Wilderness horse back hunt

    Having no points will make this search much more problematic. You could book a hunt in an OTC hunt in CO, which is what I did on my first guided hunt. In WY, a elk NR GEN tag took <4pts in 2021, and the tags in the G & H deer areas have gotten so tough to draw that I will never get there...

    Your Best Bulls!!!

    That might have just ruined her. If it happens again, you should just hang up your bow / guns and start filming her hunts.

    My sled pard is still waiting on his snow-checked 850 Turbo Ski-doo. The dealer told him that they are "hoping" to have it delivered sometime in January. He will take his 2019 850 to Idaho if necessary and then trade it in with a lot more miles on it. After an air evac. a couple years ago...

    "Central location?" Sounds like Chicago or St. Louis. If that's the case, then count me out.

    Where is everyone?

    Part of the time delay is due to issues with getting hides tanned. I brought a lion to my local Taxi last January, and a beaver to a furrier and both places are a full year behind just waiting for hides to came back from the tannery. The Taxi has over 20 bears from 2020, and has just sent in a...

    The 800 RMK is a 2015 model that I bought from a friend who gets a new sled every two years...it had 1,700 miles on it. It puked at 4.2K as I was loading it on the semi in Idaho after a week in the mountains (600+ miles.) It now as 7.2K on it. I now add a smidgen of oil directly to the gas...

    Where is everyone?

    The taxidermist did an excellent job on the extremely rare and possibly extinct Moobedowl. He has since retired, so I will probably not try to shoot another one.

    Well, the shack get-to-gether was a bust. My partners cancelled out, but I rode in anyways. 10 miles on an unplowed road, 17" of fresh snow, no tracks other than moose...perfect. I did do some shoveling, so the exercise part was covered. Here's some pics.

    I am snowmobiling into the hunting shack this morning for an overnighter. I'll have about 3 hours of snow shoveling, ice chopping, wood and water hauling ahead of me. That's just like every day life a few generations ago. I'll post some pictures if I survive.

    I've been plowing and shoveling out from our 17" snowfall. I can feel it this morning, but everything is still working.

    I plan to be on the road thru most of August and will cover most of the western states (except for the left coast), so I'm flexible within that time frame. May and June are out.

    Taping a barrel on a muzzleloader?

    I shot a mule deer (204yds.) and an elk (128 yds.) with tape on the barrel. Those were in CO with open sights. You have a big hole that can allow a lot of moisture in over the course of an extended hunt, especially if you don't change your load each day (and I don't). I switched from...

    Wyoming antelope advice for family hunt

    I have hunted a north central unit in WY four times for antelope and was successful 1x on a buck, and 7x with 8 doe tags. The only reason that I didn't fill the last doe tag was my partners decided to go home early. We would camp 40 miles from the nearest town, and depending on the road...

    Spring Bear Hunt

    If it's just a bear you are after, then you are better off staying in MN. But if your wife wants to go on a road trip out west then go for it.

    firearm safety and hollywood

    I am sure that some "firearms expert" will examine the revolver to determine if it was operating within design parameters. A single action revolver does not lock up with the cylinder in line with the bore unless it is out of time. News reports refer to the Petersoli (SP?) as an antique...

    My wife and I are doing a deferred road trip this summer throughout the SW and up to the NW from Minnesota. I regretted not stopping to see Roger (AKA Colorado Cowboy) on a trip several years ago, and plan to contact him before I head out this summer. I have a guest cabin on the lake where I...
