    I have rattled in Whiltetail in Idaho and Montana, but it has always been in November. I am here in Northern Idaho all this week. Will bucks respond to rattling or is it too early in the season?

    Secure Storage - Powder, Primers, and Bullets

    I have a home security system, but still securely store my firearms in a safe. What about my reloading components? I got to taking inventory the other day of my powder, primers, and bullets and wonder if maybe I should start locking them up too. The only thing I can think of is to buy another...

    Lets face it. Reloading is a precision oriented hobby. My reloading bench is out in our attached garage. Right now if you were to walk out into my garage the air temp would be approx 50 degrees. I can easily warm that up some with a space heater but all of my tools and components are going...

    Backcountry Whitetails

    Here is a question for the Idaho/Montana/Wyoming hunters: I live here in Oregon and have always hunted Mule Deer and Blacktail but I have really gotten bitten by the Whitetail bug. I hunted in Western Montana last year and LOVED it. This year I am going to be in Northern Idaho the week...
