I just arrowed a buck here in Indiana. I called him in across a field with a few grunts. He was acting like a normal rut crazed buck. When I was field dressing him I noticed his chest cavity was fiels with yellow puss fluid. There was 0 oder and further inspection showed what I believe to be...
Yep next few nights were pretty uneventful as far a close calls. I saw a herd of elk about 3 mles away on private and enjoyed watching them. Wednesday SFC B went up to me in a high meadow with lots of draws. I put SFC B in one of my spots and I hiked up higher. Even though we were a few...
Yep the night was pretty bitter and glad SFC B told them to bring supplies for a fire! Jake was nervous about doing something wrong. We explained to him as long as he didn't get into the guts all will be fine. He finally realized the neck leather is tough and nothing like a deer. We showed...
Yep opening day was a cold wet day. I stayed out from dak to dark. Pitched my tarp and built a fire to keep warm. Watched a fox catching mice to pass the time. Just about a half hour before sunset I had a cow and 2 calfs come out 2 yards below me. Got the rifle ready hoping for a bull to...
Well I punched my buck tag here at home in the Hoosier state. My last chance for archery befor shoulder season starts. Past few years I have been tagging out in rifle or muzzleloader season so it felt good to get it done in archery for a change. Thank you SFC B for helping pack or more like...
The day of my flight I could tell I was having the start of possible sinus issues so bought some Misinex just incase. By the time we got to Toponus and slept a bit I was full blown sick. Rode with CPO and warned him before hand how I was feeling. I managed to pull my weight with camp set up...
Coming back on our ATVs for lunch after glassing for mule deer in SD I spotted a couple coyotes. I slid to a stop grabbed my .270 off the front rack loaded it. I told my hunting mentor and best friend to range it for me. I heard him say 250 yds. I held on his side for 250 yds, the wind was...
Ok here is my update thus far but can't give too many details because SFC Born has yet to update. So my my Colorado Elk hunt was wonderful despite being sicker than a dog I truly enjoyed every second of it! Beautiful scenery, all sorts of wildlife to enjoy, and wonderful friends. Memories...
I forgot my knife on a mule deer hunt and threw a utility knife in my pack from a ranchers pole barn. I quartered up a buck in probably the same amount of time had I had my old trusty hunting knife. Did a whole cow with a knife on my multi tool ended up breaking the tip off when I stuck it in...
Leaving work in 10 min to fly out to elk camp and meet up with SFC Born, CPO, Cushman, and some Cheese Heads I have yet to meet. I am sure one or all of us will give you a story!
I know I will get some heat for this but I really don't mind. You have a business you just started and do great work but please don't cheat yourself! $25 would be more than worth having that done! You take the time to set each personalized cartridge up and have to package and mail them back...
I have 3 of those set up the same way. One has QR scope bases and something called "iron sights" chambered in 30-06. I am not eating tag soup by taking that under powered, unreliable, non tactical thing hunting. Probably shouldn't even keep it in the safe with my other rifles because it might...
I have used one set for many seasons. They are great and extremely durable....but they are not pack rat proof. Pack rat stole the small bag from the set while hunting in SD. I found it a year later under the porch of our hunting shack! The rat had been using it for his home..or out house and...
Red or green doesn't matter to me but I hate white lights for hiking. My night vision gets extremely compromised with white lights and if I am hiking with someone that has one I kindly tell them to stay way behind me.
