Get a good topo of the area and find ridges with tanks nearby. Find a good vantage point and watch the south and west facing slopes in the morning and late evenings for bulls coming out to feed. Do some reading and find out what elk eat and learn to recognize it at a glance. Always try to be...
We've had luck in 3C by hiking along the Reservation fence and finding a place where the elk were crossing. Then setting up an ambush and waiting. There were not a lot of people down there that year..
The Arizona draw is not complicated at all. All of the applications are processed based on a random number assigned when the application is received. If you have bonus points, you get an extra random number for each bonus point. It helps in that you have multiple chances to draw an earlier...
We are home. Unit 8 for the November rifle hunt. More to follow.... I hope!
Congratulations to the lucky ones... better luck next year for those not so fortunate.
We are home again... Drew Unit 8 for the November rifle hunt. More to follow... I hope.
Congratulations to everyone who drew and good luck. To those who did not draw, better luck next year.
Don't give up hope yet. I was on the azgfd site yesterday and it says they're only 60% through with the financials. So they're still validating credit card numbers and charges and you never know who's going to drop out. Good luck.
My Taxidermist told me that if I ever salted another cape, he would salt me. He said it makes the hide stiff and tough to work with. He said hang it and let it dry, then wrap it in a plastic bag for the trip home.
You should get down on your knees and say thank you to whatever God you believe in. The 338 WIN MAG is considerably larger in diameter and longer in overall case length than the 338 Federal which is based, I believe on the 308 Winchester case. It also operates at a much higher chamber...
Kimbers are like any other rifle. You occasionally get a bad one. I've seen Remingtons that would not shoot, and Winchesters that would not shoot. The only rifle I've not been able to figure out was a Browning A Bolt in 300 Winchester. Often times you just have to play with the stock fit and...
I am guessing that you've all heard the story about the Ranger in Yellowstone and the Japanese tourists out for an early morning hike? They had heard the Ranger's lecture about making noise and letting the bears know you were coming, wearing "bear bells", etc. The ranger asked if they knew how...
If I have to drink Bourbon, I prefer Woodford Single Cask. It's a little more expensive, and definitely not sloshing whiskey but Sippin' Whiskey. Given my druthers, I'd druther drink Glenmorangie LaSanta single malt scotch..
Buzz, If he is cut from the same cloth you are, there aren't many of those cuts left. You guys are all special. Believe me, that is envy you hear talking. I'm 73 now and I've had a few incidents over the last 10 years hunting in the high country. Been flown out of Kaibab once, but I keep...
Muir Wood is a must as is Muir Beach. Drive north thru Gilmore and enjoy the garlic. Food is pretty spectacular. Be observant as you drive down the hill from the forrest to the beach and if you make that drive, come one back and tell me what you see on the hillside. In the forest you will...

Seems that age has taken a toll on my eyes and I am no longer capable of the long range shooting that I've enjoyed for so long. I have decided to put some of my favorite long range weapons up for sale. First is this SAKO TRG 42 in .338 Lapua Magnum. It is the black rifle with muzzle brake and...
