    That is truly Hilarious... (y) Having helped with and seen Dan's latest stand addition, I am waiting for him to add a propane heater to supplement the solar heat beating on the stand and maybe a coffee pot... How about it Dan?

    New deer hunting blind

    Dan and I have been friends for about 4 or 5 years now and as we were traveling to a diner for lunch (which was delicious and He bought) after the build Wednesday I remarked that when we met I knew he was a serious deer hunter, but this project puts him WAY over the top in dedication to the...

    Grizzly Encounter

    We had a black bear with two ear tags walk through our yard earlier this month. When I called Wildlife to report it, as they have requested, the young female voice asked me if I had the numbers off the tags?? I informed her I did not get that close and personal. Kinda makes you wonder if the...

    Grizzly Encounter

    I would consider your rifles deterrents. Is it safe to assume you were after black bear?

    Grizzly Encounter

    Wow, Dr Mike, you were close. What made you sure the boar would not mistakenly think you were going to challenge him for the sow? Did you have a deterrent in case of such an occurrence? Thanks for sharing and I am glad you both are safe.

    2018 GMC Sierra 2500HD Duramax

    Congratulations on the new truck. I picked up a 2018 Ford F-150 XLT 4x4 on March 1st. Nice truck but has intermittent grinding in the front end. Dealer has changed some parts but the problem persists, but only intermittently. Told the dealer I am ready to pick up the radiator cap and drive a...

    Into Danger I Go...

    Congratulations Guy and thanks for jumping to the challenge. The liberals that I know are so close minded that they will not listen to reason. Our sorry excuse for governor is leader of the pack with new feel good legislative proposals. Can't wait to get out of NY.

    Elk Calls post rut

    How many elk hunters use a call post rut? I am reading Elk Tactics by Don Laubach and Mark Henckel and they are pretty positive on the benefits of calling. My elk hunting is in Montana during the 3rd and 4th weeks of rifle season in November. Just thinking it might be something to try one...

    Leer Truck Caps

    I purchased a new Leer 100R for my 2018 F150 and am quite disappointed in the fit. My 2013 F150 wore the same Leer cap and it fit reasonably well. Between 2013 and 2018 Ford has streamlined the truck bed by curving the outside edge in while leaving the inside dimension the same. Bottom line...

    A critical time for the USA

    Think of the thousands of service men and women who sacraficed to insure our freedom and right to vote. Let's make their sacrafice worth while. I use an absentee ballot each year as I am far from the polling place hunting on Election Day.

    What are you hunting with this year?

    I'm going to stick with my '06, I am thinking of switching from the Montana ASR, 10 pounds, back to the Remington 700CDL. The Remington will save me 1 1/2 pounds, and it was my first '06 and first elk and Mule Deer, one shot each in 2013. The Montana has served me very well, just a little...

    Now, I REALLY feel old

    Had one back in the day.. I believe my uncle bought it and we had a lot of fun plinking with it. Must have been one of the very early versions as it lacked a serial number.

    Leather question.

    Water is an enemy of wood and steel. In the past I have used denatured alcohol to soften leather when I wanted a holster to form fit to a handgun. The idea came to me from a book long ago by either a Texas Ranger or Boder Patrolman. I have no experience stretching old leather however I would...
