    How much is too much?

    Depends on a lot of things. Last year I spent a month in Alaska with my wife fishing and just seeing the country. Went to Wyoming with a couple of hunting buddies for antelope and deer. All were affordable. I'll be 79 later this year and know I don't have all that many years left to hunt. This...

    Leaving tomorrow for Colorado Cowboy Shoot!

    It was fun, even tho I didn't get to shoot the 2 days. Got to spend some time with one of my buds who came from California to shoot with me. Got to catch up on a lot of things since we were antelope hunting together in Wyoming last October.

    Leaving tomorrow for Colorado Cowboy Shoot!

    I got to the shoot and during the first stage, my rotator cuff (the one I have been having trouble with) just wouldn't work, so I didn't shoot. Just was the scorekeeper all weekend.... My surgeon told me that I could have this problem occasionally. The only way to fix it is to do a "reverse"...

    E-Bikes For Hunting?

    I have similiar views. Around here we see increased use on trails meant for bicycles and the Forest Service is having problems coming up with a policy for their use in the NF. Use them where you use ohv's and on roads , no problem, but that's it as far as I'm concerned.

    What would be your dream hunt?

    The second one for me would have to be a hunt for Marco Polo Sheep. It has always intrigued me seeing pictures those massive horns, imagine what it would be like to see them in my scope!

    What would be your dream hunt?

    If you could pick any hunt, for any animal, anyplace in the world......what would you choose? Forget about any limitations you might have be it physical, monetary or otherwise. As long as you are dreaming, go for it. For me it is not an exotic sheep hunt or Africa's big 5, it would be an...

    What Is Your Favorite Gun To Shoot???

    First is my Custom .220 Ackley Improved Swift. I made the thumbhole stock and it absolutely vaporizes prairie dogs with my handloads at over 4,000 fps. Then my 25-06 deer/antelope rifle. It's a M77 Ruger with a tang safety. Bought it in 1968 or 69 and have shot a ton of animals with it. Next...

    If you could change your profession, what would it be?

    That's why young retirees often keep working doing "their passion". I did a lot of leather work, stock making and and making knives after I retired.

    Gloves - 2019 State of the Union

    I'm pretty old school about a lot of things. I really like the gloves I was issues when I was in basic training in the Army in the middle of winter in 1963. They are 2 piece. There are some really warm wool gloves with leather shells that slide over the wool ones when It is really cold or wet. I...

    Grizzly / Wolf question

    When I was hunting Thorofare in the Teton Wilderness, saw grizzlies and wolves almost everyday. They had really put a dent in the deer, elk & moose population. Saw lots of bones from their kills. Only saw 1 deer, 1 moose and about 20 elk in 6 days of hunting. I became a believer in managing...
