    Apollo 11.....50 Years Later

    I watched the landing and walk while sitting in the living room building a Estes model rocket, the Big Bertha model that we then took out the next day and shot off. I remember going outside while they were on the surface and thinking "wow, there is actually someone walking around up there" I...

    Meindl USA

    I see that they are based in Sydney, Nebraska. Makes you wonder if one of the Cabela's people that was kicked out of the door when Bass Pro took over opened up the store?

    Meindl USA

    I also have a few pairs of their boots purchased from Cabela's, but the problem now is Bass Pro. They are getting rid of all of Cabela's contracts and products and replacing them with their own of lower quality. I have seen this with a number of products that carried the Cabela's brand...

    AK Spring Grizzly

    I have sat here jealous of you, that is a great bear. I had a chance up in BC and only saw one grizzly in 10 days and he was a little too far away for a shot. That was my chance at one, that is unless I hit the lotto.

    What Makes A Big Mule Deer?????

    I like heavy square heavy antlers that are at least 28 inches wide the height takes care of itself. In 50 years of hunting them I have seen a dozen or so of them that meet that standard and have only been able to think about shooting a couple of them. One was over a mile away and another one...

    How Do You Define A Successful Scouting Trip?

    Scouting trips isn't all about the animals but finding new country and learning about it. My brother in law has a hunt this year in Colorado where scouting for animal is a waste of time until they move into the area any time from the middle of September to the hunt in October. It is a...

    .380 Trail Protection / Bear Load?

    In my book the minimum for bear protection is a 357 magnum with heavy loads. While the 9mm might kill a bear you are more likely to piss them off, and a 380 is even lighter than a 9mm. You would be better off just scaring it with a 380 by shooting up onto the air than at a bear. I would...

    Which state has the best opportunities and draw odds for Resident Hunters

    Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and perhaps New Mexico but I don't have any experience with New Mexico. At least for western states. But if you really want to know the best state would be Alaska.

    Not many deer on scouting trip

    With the heat they could be back onto the cooler area shortly after sunrise. I had a muzzle loader tag in the Utah Book Cliffs a few years ago and it was hot. The deer were back in their beds as soon as the sun hit the hillside and they didn't come back out until it was behind the hill in the...
