    As of last night the spike hunt is off. As my brother in law was preparing dinner he must of figured that there was not enough meat in the stew and tried to cut two of his fingers off with a knife that I had just sharpened. So now I am sitting at home trying to convince him that he needs a...

    Yep, just remember that if you shoot a small buck you can't tag out on a big buck. I have ate a lot of tag soup looking for this guy Thanks for all the comments.

    Colorado 44 2nd season

    Not knowing the area can be real tough. A lot of big bucks hang out on the Hermits south of Eagle, but it is all oaks and is one mean mother. Other than that find the meanest and nastiest canyon that you can think of and head into it

    RCBS Metallic Reloading Intro Kit?

    No scale or is there a digital one in the kit? If nothing else you can pick up a digital one fairly cheap. All it needs to do it to read accurately and most of them come with check weights and a powder pan. You will also find with the powder dispenser that it won't like long extruded...

    1st Aid Kits

    Most people get a first aide kit and only check the contents when they get them and then when they need them. Things need to be replace and updated. The other thing that people need to check is their fire extinguishers that they have kicking around in their trucks and campers. Odds are that...

    Puffballs are easy, I have found them anywhere from the size of a marble all the way up to volleyball size. They look just like their name, no stem to speak of but mostly round and white. Morels are another one that is quite easy, but I agree with a lot of the others looking a lot alike.

    So far it's been tough

    I used to go fishing to a reservoir in Utah that was up a very rough road. At the bottom and start of the road was a sign that the Forest Service had place that said "JEEP ROAD" and under that someone had taken some paint and put "THAT AIN'T NO SH177". If you had a long wheel base truck you...
