Who here is a .308 Winchester hunter?
My 308 is probably the least picky rifle in existence. It’s just a cheap Weatherby Vanguard that I traded for a 204 Ruger. My 308 doesn’t care what brand of brass I use. Lake City military brass isn’t even stamped .308 win. The walls on it are even thicker. My 308 doesn’t care. Factory loads and... -

Predator Help
Funny, 2 years ago I was there in Indian Valley watching a single wolf scattering a herd of cattle. I sat watching from 80 yards from my truck til the wolf locked eyes with me and ran off. I easily had time to anchor him but I did not have permission. I usually keep 2 wolf tags on me.- Nambaster

Zoleo dispatched an ambulance
My son and I were out on a deer/bear hunt. As we were crossing a bridge we noticed a significant amount of debris and gear floating in the river below. As I looked up river in my binos I saw a raft upside down on the opposite side of the river. After further observation I could see someone...- Nambaster

A boy and his bear
After harvesting his first deer my son asked to come back the next morning to check the gut pile. I had harvested a small yearling buck and a man and his 2 sons had harvested another doe in the same canyon. We were aware of 3 gut piles and it would be well worth an extra day to see what we would...- Nambaster

A boy and his doe….
As I loaded the quarters of both deer in my pack for the pack out he asked me if we could at least check the stand of trees that the buck had come from for a bear. I agreed to leave the pack as we investigated. In the trees we found fresh sign and turned up dust and several paw tracks but no... -
A boy and his doe….
We approached the “bear” stand of trees and we found all kinds of fresh sign like the bear had been in there all morning, but we couldnt turn him up. We cut a set of tracks and followed them out of the trees and jumped 2 very large bucks. One 4x5 and one 3x3. The unit we were hunting was. 2pt... -
A boy and his doe….
It was a proud dad moment for sure. As we were taking pictures the man and his 2 sons approached us and he wanted to let them see a deer up close. He asked if we would let them see how the process works. My son and I both looked at each other confused…. He asked “wouldn’t you rather start on... -
A boy and his doe….
It seemed like 15 minutes went by before a doe presented a decent shot. Finally we had one broadside and feeding and he squeezed a shot off. The familiar thump of lead hitting hide echoed back to the sound of his rifle and the doe hunched up and limped off in a panic. She entered a stand of... -
A boy and his doe….
The next morning we were up at 7:00 ready for the 7:30 legal shooting light, but a truck with an ATV had already parked in our previous nights location. We opted to travel farther down the road and walk the property line to the east. As we popped over the barbed wire fence a doe started... -
A boy and his doe….
My plane had just touched down from Denver. My wife and I had just spent a week in Costa Rica on a retreat and Denver was our final layover before getting home to the Boise airport. As soon as we landed we sprinted to the nearest grocery store to load up on snacks and treats to get my 10 yr old... -
There are easier elk….
Every time I buy this tag I am second guessing what I am getting into. As soon as I hit the trail head I realize that I am biting off more than I should. I have to pack all my gear to stay out for at least a week. I have to plan all my days and trips carefully so that I always have access to... -
A Bull Ek, A Buck Deer and a Huge Black Wolf
Cant there be a middle ground? I don’t want the wolf eradicated. I also don’t want it to decimate big game populations, but I want to hunt it. I am not convinced that there is a direct correlation between wolves and the spread of CWD. I can accept that there will be ebbs and booms and busts in... -
Bears and hibernation
November 17 the same year there was a bear out eating a gut pile of a deer in unit 15. Even when the bears are denned up there is no saying they won’t come out on occasion. It’s always worth hunting them in my book.- Nambaster

Weatherby issues
I have always wanted a Weatherby Lazermark. They are beautiful rifles! Almost too beautiful to hunt with. This post has turned me off from the new Weatherby. Seeing a fellow hunter out of luck with a RMEF Mark V is disappointing. I have always wondered how the Sheridan move would affect things...
