    Archery kill to stalk ratio

    I am in the grasslands of South Dakota, so stalking where there is only terrain (rolling hills) or a single cedar tree...haha. My first year chasing them I had 23 attempted stalks ending in my first mule deer with a bow. I learned a lot and got better each time I went out. I did have 2 other...

    It's here!! Brush up on field judging antelope with this article...

    Good article, I have laid a few smackdowns on some speed goats. I have always had a hard time judging animals in the field. I find a good spotting scope takes some of the guess work out, I have always been told to try and make sure the prong (cutter) is above the ears and it is a good...

    First trip out west!

    If you plan to hunt with a rifle, stalking them actually isnt that hard to get within 250 yards all day. If you plan on chasing them with a bow, that is where it can get tough. windy days are good days to close the distance. I always look at the direction of the wind and plan my route around...

    Quick Question on Customer Service (Cabelas)

    I was able to mount it on the new rifle and it is just a little off center, and I cant rotate the scope because it is so tight. I will probably try to do something with it tonight and see where it gets me, I just didnt want to take the ring off and the tube is bent and I wouldnt be able to have...
