Whenever I am far enough away to have to pack out some meat from a elk I'll just take a front shoulder with me on the first trip back. Most time I'll even leave the whole leg attached for easier handling. This is in addition to my normal day pack which will also hold the liver and heart on...

Efforts to stop it are being looked at.

They have cull hunts just for warthogs for a real good price. The farmers land where I shot mine hated them. They do a lot of damage if they are in a sandy area from there rooting around.

Well, I received a few emails and my mounts from this past June's African trip are ready to be shipped. But due to shutdowns in the permitting process in South Africa it may be around the middle of January before they are processed, so I might be able to expect them sometime in February...

Not much a parent can really do if they want to get into something except to support them. I know that there were many times that my mom just had to close her eyes at the things that I got into. Thankfully I survived with a few minor injuries. But in the long run I pretty much was in...

It is always interesting on what turns up on winter ranges and realizing just what they go through to survive the hunting seasons.

If it is a new post we will usually see it, but if it is embedded into a thread we have a hard time seeing it. So if it is just a new post we will see it and take care of it. You have to remember that we have to sleep so the spam is usually cleaned up by this time in the morning once we see...

Tis the Season

Everyone needs a Trunk Monkey

I made one around 40 years ago and am holding to it. Making no New Years Resolutions. It is surprising at how easy it is to keep.

A member of our African hunting group had a small problem on his first day of hunting. He stepped on a rock that rolled out from under his foot. Down he went onto some more rocks resulting in a couple broken ribs. He spent a night in a South Africa hospital. We all had signed up with Rip Cord...

I haven't shot a doe in so many years that it is scary, I have however shot a number of cow elk. Shooting a doe just isn't for me. One problem with shooting a doe during any of the general seasons is that even if there are not any fawns with her they may still be in the area and you will...

I heard the same thing but haven't heard anything since

The government needs to go with the will of the people. Here in Colorado 51%+ said that they wanted wolves. They also voted years ago to eliminate the spring bear hunt along with using dogs. The folks up in British Columbia decided that they didn't want hunters to hunt Grizzly bears and...

The sad thing is that looking at the map it includes units where the deer and elk are already struggling even without wolves

Come on Eastman's,you have to tighten up the spam control on the site. Either that or rename it to Eastman's Gummies

A number of years ago we had a so called hunter shoot a ram near I-70. He stashed the head into a culvert, I believe that he planned on letting nature take it's course and come back once it was just the skull. He got tripped up when someone walking the bike path smelled something rotten and...

They have or had quite a bit in stock when I looked, both primers and powder. But as time goes on you never know unless you look.

Happens quite often in Utah while the spike only hunt is going on. But they sure are fun to watch. I actually got yelled at one year while I was watching big bulls with a spike tag in my pocket

A few years ago I watched a rock for 3 or 4 hours just knowing that it had to be a elk. It never moved and when it was time to leave I radioed my partner to pick me up at a different place, I was going to hike over to that rock. Once I got there I found that it was indeed a elk, a dead one...
