    Suppressors...what am I missing?

    I’ll start off with this: I shoot suppressed at work. It’s at the detriment of velocity and adds weight and length to my 11.5 AR. But, almost all of the situations I’d have to use this rifle would be indoors and/or very short ranges. I’m simply not going to be in a situation where I can...

    Cock Block: A Hunting Story

    Ever cock block a buddy, even if unintentionally? I did it once and I can’t help but laugh about it, 20 years later. I was reminded about it today when the unintended victim called to see if I had a y luck hunting last week. The subject came up and we reminisced. Hell, I think I did him a...

    Clothing: Where to get started

    I’m way behind the curve when it comes to hunting clothes. I normally hunt in really temperate weather. Highs max out around 65 and lows bottom out around 45. The biggest issue is that it’s wet. As of now, I hunt in OD/Forest Green 5.11 pants that are too trashed to wear at work, brown...

    Story of My first Elk, Last Elk Hunt with Dad

    This is more of a story of me and my Dad, that just happens to involve my first elk. My Dad is a good man. Before I came along, he joined the Army in 1966 and did two tours in Vietnam as an infantryman. He had gotten his pilot’s license and decided he wanted to fly for a living, but flying...

    Been Doing it Wrong....

    I’m not sure why it took me so long to figure this out, but I’m pretty sure I’ve been wasting my time by hunting the way I have. I learned to hunt mule deer and whitetails on mostly private property in really open country. Then I moved to western WA and started hunting blacktails on timber...

    Just joined up today. Love to fish, shoot, and hunt. I feel like I got a good handle on fishing and shooting, but I really need to up my game as a hunter!
