    Cow elk meat hunt in the books.

    So last weekend did a quick trip to chase some meat. The elk tag I had was just OTC, but had to be antlerless elk within a mile of cultivated land. Luckily my BIL has some family with property that we could hunt and access the fringes of forest service where they generally see elk. There were...

    Bear Meat is delicious.

    Tried my first bit of bear meat yesterday, it was delicious. Grilled a chunk of backstrap and made a ham. The ham was a lot of work. Brined for about 9 days. Smoked it for about 7.5 hours and did an apricot maple glaze. The backstrap was great despite being medium well to ensure no...

    ID Success. I consider myself lucky.

    Needless to say after hunting for nearly 3 days without seeing a bear I was starting to give up hope. We had posted up glassing a hillside about 800 yards away. At the time was with my brother and our dad. We had left weapons in the truck (50 yards away), I think mostly because we all thought...

    Traditions Muzzleloaders service

    Just curious if anyone had had any experience with their customer service. My dad had a barrel explode on his inline and they declined warranty saying it was consistent with being double loaded. My dad is relatively new to muzzleloading, but was shooting with someone who has 30 years experience...

    Caribou Hunt with group of 5

    So I’m starting to do a little research for a 2020 caribou hunt. We are likely going to have a group of 5, 2 of which will be 60 and 66 years old respectively. The 66 year old is in great shape but doesn’t have the strength he once had, and my dad will be 60 and was previously shot so has some...

    Scat pile identification

    So was out in the elk woods and came across a huge pile of scat. Really old, most were log form with what looked to be a lot of grasses present. I was thinking possibly where a bear hunkered down for the winter. What are your thoughts and opinions? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    CO camping/hunting questions.

    CO camping/hunting regulations questions. A lot of questions as I am newly moved to CO. I am planning an OTC hunt this fall. The area I am looking to hunt is state land, so it is my understanding that there is no overnight camping on sate lands. The state lands but up against national...

    Which mounting rings?

    So just got a new Tikka t3x 30-06 and have ordered the Vortex Razor HAD LH 3-15x42 and a 20MOA picatinny rail. Which height scope rings should I get? The front objective lens part of the scope measures 2.1 inches I believe. So do I just get the rings that when combined with the rail give me...
