Heading for pheasants at the end of November. I typically just hunt with bare hands in a waist muff. I would like to be quick on the draw while driving birds in the snow. Anyone have a favorite glove for warmth and trigger feel?
I can’t see where this has been discussed before, so I am throwing it out there.
Mountaineering sunglasses. I’m talking blinding snow reflection from direct sun, coming at all angles. I struggle with snow blindness and particularly over long days.
I don’t need a prescription. Does anybody...
Laugh all you want that someone would mount a hen merganser. It might take a while, but the guy does great work. Got news last night it was done. I can't wait to get it shipped out and on the mantle at the cabin.
So, without knowing a whole lot about the points game/different preference/bonus systems in place in other states, my FIL and I started to build points in Colorado.
Currently sitting at 8 points for both deer and elk, I cannot find a reason to continue to build points. We are not getting any...
Just picked up my cat rug from the taxidermist. It exceeded my expectations. I was a little nervous given some of the rugs I have seen over the years but this will work for me.
I thought I would throw up a little recap on my recent winter camping jaunt across the BWCA since many of you have expressed interest in winter camping. We hit a great weather window that was pretty atypical for end of February. Normally we half freeze to death.
We worked up our sled loads...
Alright, here goes another story time attempt. I spent this year applying and failing to draw for just about every species I could think of in 5 different states. With everything else a bust, I threw down on the Montana antelope draw. I drew the buck and doe tag in the initial draw. I wasn't...
Ugh. Here we go with the ammo shortages again. I was looking to pick up an extra box of 150 grain corelokt for the hunting season and it is gone with the toilet paper from every shelf. Then I figured I would just get some more Hornady Precision Hunter. Gone as well!
Stock up early if you get...
... when are you guessing? July 30?
This is my last shot at a tag out west this year or I am out of luck. Sitting here with my fingers crossed and hoping.

How big? Boar or sow? I'll admit, for all the times I have hunted bear I'm still bad at this. I'm going with 250 boar.
After many years of applying for bobcat in Wisconsin, it was finally my turn. I ended up getting busy with a lot of things towards the end of the year and hadn't gotten a chance to get out until this weekend. We also had about 40" of snow over a one week span that put a damper on things. We...
I've been thinking about this year's upcoming Wyoming antelope draw. I've been chasing a semi-premium unit for about 3 years now and I believe I have a really good chance of drawing out on it this year. When my 8 points are gone and I am back at the bottom of the barrel it will take a very...
Well, I'll be in Ireland next year in May. I have no clue if there are any fishing or hunting opportunities at that time of the year but thought I would throw it out there. I've been to Ireland once and recreational fishing didn't seem like a big thing there. I'm imagining there isn't much...
Just got back from Wyoming and I have to admit I was a little disturbed by my findings. I got in 2nd week of season and on different occasions found 2 beautiful antelope bucks left to rot. They had been killed within 2-3 days of my arrival. Both had at least 2 killing shots in them. No way they...
Got out this weekend to throw out a couple lines in Lake Superior. This was my first time hunting on the Gitch and made for novel photos (Carrier in the background of the 1st photo). Only a handful of ducks post-snowstorm but can't wait to get back out there. I'm a huge fan of diver hunting...
