    It's in the air.....I felt it.

    Walked outside at 5 am this morning and a breeze hit the back of my neck. Made my hair stand on end. Cool, not strong but steady. Yep it's here. Sat. bow season opens. I'm headed out Wed. morning. This is my first year being retired, so I can hunt everyday all season long if I so choose...

    New shotgun....Cabelas???

    The ol' Mossberg was giving up the ghost, so I popped into the local Cabelas to look at the Benelli Nova. At 399 they were about 50 bucks under the other Benelli dealers in the area and I had a 50 dollar gift cert. so it just seemed logical. I asked the guy behind the counter what the...

    2017 trail cam

    Took the Browning out and pulled the card out of the Moultrie. Out for a week. This is the same ridge I saw the wolf on. Not near as much sign as usual, but it's early. Hope the canine hasn't got everything pushed out of the area.....

    Browning Strike Force trail cam....issues

    Browning won't turn on. Put fresh batteries in and set time and date before leaving home. Got it all set up and it won't turn on. This thing has had little use, although this would have been the third season of use. I have an older Moultrie and it's out there now. Calling Browning customer...

    Oregon wolf

    Spotted my first wolf yesterday while looking for spring bear. I've seen tracks in this unit and know of another hunter who spotted one a couple years ago. The thing is a week earlier and almost to the hour, I was in exact location and had a nice mule deer buck run right up behind me. Never...

    rut photos

    Been out a few times looking for bucks in the rut. Found a few smaller ones. This guy is biggest so far. Nice buck, but I'm a little bummed nothing bigger has turned up. Snowing today, so maybe it will bring the big guys out.

    bow for grandson

    Maybe someone can help out here. My grandson has decided he wants to come out for a deer and elk hunt this year. He has never shot a bow and wants me to help him find one he will be satisfied with, without breaking the bank. I told him to go to a local bow shop and get his draw length...

    Remmington 700 trigger issues

    Can anyone tell me where I can find the post with a link to getting Mod. 700 triggers replaced. I read it a few days ago and now I don't seem to be able to locate it. I have 3 700's that I think will qualify for this repair....thanks BB

    Back from 4 day hunt

    Well, I am home from a four day elk and mule deer hunt. No success, but a great time. First morning had two bulls, spike and a raghorn, at 70 yards, no shot. Morning #2 I had a cow at 35 yards, but was busted by a mule deer doe, where do those things come from. I was able to close to 25 and...

    The stars are starting to line up

    We got another good soaking in Eastern Oregon yesterday. After a couple of weeks of real heat, it was nice. More importantly the high country will stay green awhile longer = better antler development. Things were looking good early on, and now they should get even better. If we get another...

    Fairly new member from Oregon

    Guess I should have done this before now, since I started in May. I guess that makes me a fairly new member. I live in Eastern Oregon, about as far east as you can go. I can see Idaho right now. I am 65 years, young or old depends on the day. I think I am close to Mike in age. I have...

    Sticker points

    Pulled my trail cam card earlier this week. A buck showed up with a unique sticker point . I thought it was the same buck from last year, but comparing photos revealed that the point was on the opposite side. It stems from the web at the main branch making a typical 4 point main frame a 5...

    New BOW

    Ok.....I have made the decision. It is time for a new bow. I am close to the Bowtech factory and am leaning toward this brand. I am interested in any input you guys might have on models. I'll be 65 this Sept. so this will prob. be my last one. Currently shooting a Martin Jaguar Mag. 70 lb...
