    River bottom hunting

    I am going to use my raft to access some river bottoms, if I have done zero scouting and have no idea of deer patterns or habit what would be the best strategy for me? I am planning on going next week. Would rattling work? Or just set up a ground blind in a natural funnel. What would be the best...

    7mm ultra mag reloading

    I was gifted a 7mm Ultra Mag. I have done some research, the gun has a 1 in 9.5 twist. Would it be able to stabilize a 175 grain bullet? Does anyone have any experience reloading this caliber?

    Utah Manti Archery Elk, I got lucky....

    Screaming bulls on your hunt didn’t meet expectations? They don’t just stand in meadows waiting to be shot. Most of my elk hunting is in heavy timber areas, which is most elk country. Gotta learn to get in front of them, change tactics etc if your not getting shot opportunities. All you can ask...

    Kings XKG tent

    A few people have been asking about a real world review. Spent three nights in the Idaho backcountry chasing elk. Rained every night, tent stayed dry. Held up in windy conditions etc. Wouldn’t recommend for two guys, but it’s the perfect size for one guy and gear. We had two guys in it and it...

    Rough Winter for Mule Deer ID/Wy/Ut

    Went up through some winter range today in SE Idaho along the Wyoming border. Overall the deer look pretty good, the ones I saw at least. Snow wasn’t terribly deep and they had access to sagebrush/shrubs. Took a few photos. Saw about 100 deer.

    Colorado 2022

    I hunted three days before I found him. He was about a mile from the truck up a canyon. I didnt really hike a ton, more or less find glassing points and spend time doing that. He was 420 yards. It was a good time.

    Leupold Drop Tests

    The same goes with trucks, dirt bikes, four wheelers and just about any other product or service. I own a marketing company and people are like 90+ percent more likely to complain about something than offer praise. Also what’s the market share of some of these brands compared to others? If both...

    Bird numbers have been great so far. The veteran is kicking ass and the puppies are running off.. 😂 About what I expected for this season!

    Leupold Drop Tests

    I must be in the group that has had great success with Leopold. My wife dumped my vx3 off the back of a wheeler in the rocks, was dead on and killed a deer at 400 yards the next week. My vx5 rode around all fall in my truck and wheeler and killed two deer, one at 470 and one at 420. Dead on and...

    Colorado 2022

    Decided this was the year to burn my points! Cashed in 10 points and headed to Colorado for 2nd season. I scouted for three days before the opener, had to go to Texas for a work engagement and missed the first two days. It was cold and snowy. I was surprised at how difficult it was to turn up a...

    Last day Hail Mary Help

    Glad you had a good hunt. In my experience, thick or open, the less calling the better. Especially if you want to kill a mature bull. I had numerous close calls with mature bulls this week just sneaking along after them and getting in front and hoping they pass by. For the most part mature bulls...

    Bird Dog Expense

    I agree with you. I know it’s a problem in the lab world. I have never had anyone asking me about health certs and I have never asked. Most of the time I have been around the dogs for years before I buy a puppy.
