    Elk shed

    My nephew was out walking around their property yesterday and stumbled on this elk shed. Pretty good Roosevelt!!! We were out there a week or so ago and saw a bunch of elk. Some pretty good bulls around here this year!!! Think I'll go out tonight and try to match this set up.

    New Mexico deer hunt success

    Well, we hunted hard for 5 days and only went 2 for 5. Made a stalk on 2 bucks on the last evening but ran out of light and my dad and uncle couldn't get a shot. Had a great trip and hunted some of the most beautiful country I've ever laid eyes on. 3500 miles round trip is a looooong drive...

    Just purchased a new Vortex Razor 65mm HD. Wondering if anyone knows of a hard case that is made for this scope? I would really like to have a hard case for travelling to and from the hunts.
