    Best Way to Sharpen a Knife

    The last time that I used a Havalon was when I was cleaning a javelina down in Arizona and the blade came off. I quit cleaning it. I found the blade when I skinned it and split the brisket and throat open. Any knife or replaceable blade knife that can loose a blade inside of a animal has no...

    Time is up! Good luck!

    I actually think that there are a couple of reasons. For one you no longer have to put the money for the tag up front. For a non resident that is a huge advantage. No longer do they need to come up with $1000+ just to put in for a draw. Then we are still in the era of Covid. More people...

    Time is up! Good luck!

    I played it a little bit different on deer this year. My first choice muzzle loader is a 50/50 chance. If I don't draw my first choice I should have a 75/100 chance for my second chance. If neither one of those I have a 100% chance for my 3rd choice. All muzzle loader tags. Points for elk...

    Best Way to Sharpen a Knife

    Many years ago I asked my dad how to sharpen one. He pulled out the old wet stone, spit on it and proceed to show me how to place a razor edge on his pocket knife. He then handed it to me for me to do it to my own. Since then I have tried a number of different things to sharpen my knifes...

    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
