    Hunting stories

    Just wanted to give my .02 worth the cover story of the Oct-Nov issue. While that is truely a magificent buck, I don't really enjoy reading about a buck that was being watched all summer long along with another monster buck on private property by the guide. Basically the "hunter" just showed up...

    Berger bullets

    On my brother's elk hunt this year I had the chance to see firsthand performance of Berger Hunting VLD bullets or better yet lack of performance. The bullet was a 190 grain 30-06. The first shot to hit the bull was from a quarteing to angle and hit just behind the shoulder. From the actions of...

    Arizona bound

    Headed out in the morning to Arizona where my brother has a rifle bull elk tag. Same area we have hunted on his last 4 elk tags successfully. Hope we can get it done again.

    Antelope shanks

    I made some antelope shanks for dinner yesterday from the buck my son got last week. I just cut them off the bone because I don't have a meat saw. They're kind of small but more than enough for 2 people. I just browned them up real good after seasoning with garlic salt and pepper and rolled...

    Nevada antelope

    We just got back from my son's antelope hunt and it was a great trip. We checked a lot of country that was devoid of antelope where we had seen them in the past. Once we found where they were hanging out and looked over probably 20-25 different bucks along a valley about 15 miles long. My son...

    Elk tongue

    Since I really like beef tongue I thought I would try an elk tongue if I get my cow this year. They are almost as big as beef tongue. I don't know why I never though of this before, guess I'm just a little slow. We've been wasting them all these years.:mad: Have any of you guys ever tried elk...

    diesel or gasser

    Right now I have a 97 dodge gas pickup with the 5.9 engine. 252,000+ miles on the original engine and trans so that's pretty darn good I think. Now that my wife and I are retired we have more time to go hunting and fishing so we take our 25ft trailer. When towing it I get around 7mpg, on a good...

    A few summer pics

    Some people think Nevada is all desert like the drive between LA and Vegas. When they ask where to go camping I always tell them Utah because I figure if they can't go and find places for themselves I don't want to see them in our camping areas.

    Fishing 2016

    Here's a few fish we caught last week during our family camping trip near Ely NV. The creek next to the campground is full of little fish I thought were Brook Trout. Turns out they are Redband Trout which are native to NV in certain drainages. A creek a few miles away was full of Brown Trout...

    Area 111 scouting

    Just got back from a weeklong family camping trip with the family. My son and I found a basin full of bucks anywhere from 18-25 inches wide. We found 3 absolute monsters 30 inches plus. We watched them all morning and noticed that as soon as the sun touched them they started wandering toward...

    Yeti vs Ozark Trail tumbler

    Ok so I watched the video here for the Yeti Rambler and thought it would be a good choice for use while driving. After watching several side by side comparison tests with the Ozark trail tumbler which costs about $30 less, I'm thinking of going with the walmart knockoff because it looks like...

    are there any "free range" cattle in unit 16 Wyoming?

    Game animals of all kinds see cows all the time and pay little attention to them.

    June/July EHJ article

    I just got through reading an article in the latest EHJ written by a guy who hunted elk in NV unit 111 late rifle season. He took a great bull. So congrats to him. But something he wrote made me laugh because he said the access was "extremely limited". I find that funny because almost every inch...

    New tires

    I lucked upon a set of new tires for the old pick-up last week and got them for less than half price. They are E load rated Nitto Terra Grappler All-terrains and I couldn't pass them up for such a great deal. They look pretty good and the tread pattern is a little more open that a lot of other...
