    Wolves in South Dakota

    When I was deer hunting last month about 30 miles north of Faith in South Dakota I was sitting on the top of a butte where I could see for miles. I was watching a whitetail buck walking through a creek bottom when all of a sudden he turned and took off running as fast as he could go. Right on...

    Opinions needed for Daughter's new rifle

    I was a little worried about a suppressor also. I finally bit the bullet and got one. When the guy was threading my barrel he said - now that youre getting started you “will” eventually buy more. I thought to myself - Naaaaahhhh, one is enough. I now own 3.😏. My granddaughter was a little gun...

    Antelope

    73 has been hit with a severe drought for the last several years. I have hunted 73 for the last 13 years and last year was the worst I’ve seen. On a normal year we usually see 200-400 antelope in a day. Last year we saw less than 30. I’m afraid with this bad winter there won’t be many left.

    I hunted in 73 last year. th time of year I hunt I normally see 200-400 antelope. I saw less than 30 total. I’ve hunted this area for 13 years and it was by far the worst I’ve seen. This year after all the snow they had near Casper I’m afraid there might not be many left .

    Hammer Hunters

    I was a Barnes lover, till I tried out the Hammers. Way more accurate in the two rifles I have that I tried them out on. I used them on a Scimitar Horned Oryx and Aoudad hunt this spring. I was told the Oryx is very tough to put down (their skin is about an inch thick). one shot - he took two...

    Oldest Success Pic

    Way back in the day when I still had brown hair. I was really lucky that year. They only issued 3 tags in Custer State Park, SD that year.

    Thoughts on Suppressors for Hunting?

    I have used suppressors for about 5 years now. Every time I go to the range or hunting the suppressor is on. Not only much easier on the ears, I feel less of a kick and better accuracy, even on my .338 WM.
