    My mistake, lost my elk

    Well, after 20 plus years and dozens of bulls and cows killed, I finally lost an animal. And it was all my fault. Day 4 found me sneaking timber with my hunting partner, who had never hunted them in the timber. Took us 6 hours to sneak a mile of steep thick timber. At about 230, I found a cow...

    WTS Lowa GTX Evo Extreme boots, SIZE 14

    Selling these boots that unfortunately did not fit. They have been worn around the house for break-in and then on a 6 mile hike in Idaho. The boots didn't fit properly and I could not return them. There is nothing wrong with these boots, with the exception of not fitting my feet. $340 obo...

    Copper disappointment..

    I live in California and I am required to shoot copper. I would prefer not to. We have killed lots of animals with the copper bullets. They have performed okay. I use them in a couple 7-08 rifles and a few .243s. Last night my buddy, shooting a 30-06 using Hornaday ammo (unknown grain, but it...

    Oregon Success

    Last week I connected with this bull after hunting him since Aug 30. I was solo, waiting for my hunting partner to get there the next day. On the first evening of the second trip, I went up the ridge to check a camera at a wallow that I had found this bull at two separate times. Well the...

A giant all black bear, a medium size (250ish guessing) cinnamon and this brute...He (assuming) sat there and stared at us for a very long time. He fed on grass while meandering the hillside...

    Broadhead sharpening, using a strop

    Listening to a podcast the other day (Kiafrucast) and a guy was complaining the ironwill was too hard to sharpen. So it got me thinking I probably should try to make sure mine are ready for this year's hunt. So I decided to sharpen my ironwill S125 heads. They all had been through my block...

    Blacktail trail cam thread 2021

Found the 16 man tipi with stove from Seek outside and I'm looking for any experience anyone has had. We use horses so they will be packing...

    Hopefully he survives until next year

    I worked this buck for several weeks. He was coming in right at or after dark. He came in one evening at dark. Literally at a trot to water. I leaned forward in my seat and the fork horn 10 yards to my side busted me and then it was all over. He's a 3x4, so hopefully he grows another point...

    Decent buck on trail cam

    Finally got my trail cams out and checked them yesterday. The first photo is a pretty impressive buck. I'd like to get a few more pictures of him just to see some more detail. The picture quality isn't great. Could be the same buck as the second photo. I might be able to go this evening but I...

    Dead head from this season

    Found this dead head the other day. Haven't ever seen him at the ranch on camera. He had 6 to 7 vertebrae still attached just laying in the grass in the low part of a small brush patch. I couldn't find the rest of the body. I'll still be searching during turkey season for the rest of the...
