    What Do You Consider Long Range?

    For my rifles I try and limit myself to 500 yards. Past that point and there are way too many other factors that you have to figure in. I have taken two shots at just under 800 yards but everything was perfect and there was no way to get any closer and still be able to see that bull. Both...

    The Jogger and the Cat

    But it all came out of his other end. A friend who chases cats mentioned that he may of done a couple of things wrong. One was backing away and not standing his ground and perhaps advancing on the cat. I also wondered why he didn't kick some rocks and dirt at her when she made her bluff...

    The Jogger and the Cat

    This jogger had some fun up Slate Canyon out of Provo, Utah the other day. This is just outside of a major city in Utah. I used to hunt deer up and out of this canyon and packed many bucks out on the trail that was there at the time. It now looks like it is a good ATV trail...

    Grouse

    Sage grouse are fine to eat as long as you get a young one. If it is past a year old they are like eating sagebrush, which is fine if you like a heavy sage flavor

    Scarce .22 Target Ammo

    I know a person that has a 30 year supply of TP. He bought a lot of it during the panic and then once it was back in good supply he bought more. I asked him if he was going to eat it and how did it taste. He is also one of these type of folks that will buy a store out of something just...

    Scarce .22 Target Ammo

    CC, on the notify me list you have to watch that real close. A few years ago I needed some powder real bad and was on a dozen or so notify list. Then I got the email that one supplier had some in stock. I went right onto their web site and it was sold out. I started to look at each web...

    Scarce .22 Target Ammo

    Since the peaceful protest started this last summer just about any ammo has been hard to find. What brand are you looking for? On 22lr I haven't even bothered looking for a couple of years since Cabela's had a sale with free shipping on it and I picked up around 4,000 rounds of the Federal's...

    Warm start to hunting season

    Here at 6500' in Colorado today wasn't too bad. We also have a cold front moving in and they are predicating up to a foot of snow in the higher elevations and around a inch where I am. That's yet to bee seen.

    Demographics of Eastmans Hunting Forum

    That's the way that they are in most areas. I have a friend that lives just out of Dallas and drives for Walmart. He says that there are signs all over the place saying that the farmers, and ranchers want hog hunters. The trouble is from what he says is that they all want you to pay them for...

    Boom time or Doom time where you live?

    I am a person who can just look at the picture and gain 5 lbs anymore. There was a time when I could of sat down and ate the whole thing without gaining anything other than a smile on my face for doing so. Even a few deserts that I really like I try and avoid anymore just for the same reason.

    What Is Your Go To Hunting Knife?

    I was once asked if I had a knife on my person. I then asked that person what type of knife would they like? Just about every day I have a Buck Pony in my pocket along with a Leatherman Wave multi tool on my hip. When I am hunting I'll add another more purposeful knife for the hunting...

    Boom time or Doom time where you live?

    The area where I am is mostly service workers for the ski industry at Vail, Beaver Creek, and a couple others. The good thing is that at this time it is just the mountain workers who are still working and it won't be until November when we really see what is going to happen on the mountains...

    Wyoming Wilderness Outfitter Recommendations

    This is a bad time to try and contact hunting outfitters, but sometimes they may have someone watching for emails or phone calls coming in. I know a outfitter down in Arizona who is on his phone for a couple hours at night during hunting seasons if he is in a area where he can get reception.

    What Is Your Go To Hunting Knife?

    It all depends on what I feel like packing for the hunt. I have a Gerber Gator that sees a lot of use I have a Havelon that works also, but mostly for capeing a animal. My Outdoor Edge also sees a lot of uses along with a Browning RMEF razor blade knife. Then there is my Buck Woodsman...
