Looking for a gunsmith in N. Idaho (Coeur d'Alene to Grangeville area) to do basic stuff trigger jobs, glass bedding, re-barrel, re-crown, etc. Would prefer someone who does custom builds in case the mood ever strikes me. I also go to Boise several times a year so someone there would work too...

Went out to the range yesterday with my Ruger (mid '80, tang safety vintage) to try some new ammo - 165 gr. Fed Prem Trophy Bonded Tip. I remembered this gun seemed to like 165 gr. and wanted to see if it would like these. Below is picture of 2 of my groups with a blow by blow of what...

Since I didn't draw a tag in WY, I've been thinking about going on a cougar hunt here in Idaho. Anybody have any recommendations on outfitters in north central Idaho that does cats hunts?

Inspired by Old Hunter's mention of using his .30-30 as a timber rifle, I finally took mine to the range for a little fun. For you tack drivers out there this seems like a poor group, measuring about 3 inches, but with these eyes, and iron sights, it looks pretty good to me. (Not sure if I...

...to buy a new rifle that is. You guys have a wealth of knowledge on these things, so I'd really appreciate your advice. I am considering a new rifle for varmint (mostly coyote) and deer sized game (and perhaps an elk at modest range in a pinch). After reading a bunch of the posts here on...

I have to bring a couple of guns back from my mom's and was wondering what you guys think is the best case for airline travel? I've not used a Pelican gun case, but have used their other cases at work and they seem really nice. After getting these guns back home, I plan to use it for other...

Just curious, but if your job and other obligations were such that you could live anywhere in the lower 48, with regard to hunting opportunities, which state would it be and why? I've pondered this question many times, but haven't had enough experiences in other states to say.

First off, I am not asking about your hunting spots. :D I have a friend in Glennallen that has been after me to come up and hunt with him. I was wondering how good the opportunities are for moose and caribou in that area - chances of success, trophy size, etc.? Thanks!

Hello everybody. Wasn't really sure where to put this, but here goes .... I'm a long time lurker and figured it was about time I joined. I live in north central Idaho, which allows me to enjoy all kinds of hunting – upland, waterfowl and big game. As far as big game I've taken deer, elk and...
