    Let's buy the perfect out west gun.

    My buddy is looking for a new rifle for hunting out west. He wants to deer/antelope hunt but I know elk will happen someday. He is leaning towards a Tikka but doesn't know what caliber. I told him to buy a 270 because it is a great round and factory ammo is very common. From there put a good...

    Black Hills, SD Whitetails

    As of now, we are planning on hunting the northern part of the Hills unless there is a lot of snow, then we will head south to the Hill City area. Sounds like moving slow and using glass is key. From there is you hit an area that looks good, give it some time and see what happens. I'm really...

    Black Hills, SD Whitetails

    I'm less than 45 days away from my trip to the Black Hills for a whitetail hunt. It will be me and my brother in law hunting the week of Thanksgiving. From everything I read, there are great numbers of deer with bucks around 120-125" being the high average. It is hard to believe that there...

    Wife's WI bear!!!

    There have been some big bears shot so far in WI. I guess a 10 year old girl shot a 760 live weight. I've heard of a few 500+ bears in the local area. On a side note, local taxidermist are not taking bears over 350 because they are too much work and are only taking a select number of bears...

    Wife's WI bear!!!

    After waiting 6 years since her last tag (which she didn't fill) my wife drew a WI bear tag.  We set 3 baits in June and had some great bears hitting but like every year the big ones disappeared as the corn and acorns started dropping.  The last week before the season we had bears coming in...

    Bear Season!

    My wife drew a WI tag after a 5 year wait. Season starts September 9th this year. We have 3 baits going but one is controlled by a sow with 3 cubs so we don't bait it as often. The other 2 baits have good bears on them. If she get a chance at one of the good ones, we will need a drag team to...

    Brake or not to brake????

    Thanks for all the replies. Keep them coming. I picked Hell's Canyon in ID to do the work. I'm shipping my action out today. Should have it by September if all goes well. I'm still on the fence with the brake. I would say 99% of my shots will be at the range with this rifle. That being...

    Brake or not to brake????

    I've never been around one but from the way I read, they are too loud. 30-06 recoil is not bad. I can handle that.
