    Where to invest: tent or bag?

    I've been on some damned cold elk hunts in September and October. You are on the right track though. My tent keeps the rain and snow out, my sleeping bag keeps me warm. I've slept outside in a good down sleeping bag and it kept me warm and cozy, even when it was cold enough to leave frost...

    Did Colorado Break the Elk Bank This Year?

    I took my daughter for her first elk hunt this year. It was a ML hunt in unit 18. My friends and I had hunted this WILDERNESS AREA at least 10 times in the past. We never had any company at the little pull off near the trail head during rifle, muzzleloader, or archery hunts. This year I...

    Female hunters or huntresses

    My daughter is the only one in her high school to have killed a bear. I took her on her first back country elk hunt this year and had a blast. My wife hunts from time to time. One of the guys I hunt with often takes his wife hunting. I have friends who take their daughters out hunting. It...

    black bear shot placement

    I've hunted them with hounds. The head shot is what the guys I hunt with prefer. They don't want a wounded bear on the ground with the dogs. But that is for treed bears and hounds.

    Kicking Myself

    I shot a doe one winter. I was on the ground sitting against a brush pile when a line of does started coming out around the end of the brush pile one after the other. I got drawn and shot the last doe in line. She wasn't 15 feet from me. At the shot she flinched and took a little hop. Then...

    Gun Safe/Locker

    Gun safes are, generally, just lock boxes. Residential Security Container (RSC) is the rating that UL gives them. That means they will last at least 5 whole minutes when attacked with small hand tools. Sure, they have a fire rating, and some of them will protect their contents, depending on...

    Skull capping

    There are a couple of saw handles available that clamp down on the wire. The wire will break from time to time. You just spool off more and keep going. Best way to do it is sit down with the head in front of you, or stand over it. Brace the antlers with your feet and saw back and forth.

    High wind whitetail’s

    I love still hunting in the wind and cold. Deer will often bed in the lee of a hill during cold, windy days making them easy to find. Add in a few inches of snow and it doesn't get any better.

    Any advise on how to store deer overnight in cold temperatures?

    Generally speaking. If it is, or will be, below freezing gut it, leave the hide on and hang it. If it will be 50's to freezing I do the same but will drop a bag of ice into the chest cavity. If it is warmer than 50's skin it, hang it in the shade/breeze in game bags, put ice in it and get it...

    Bowhunting from the ground

    I've shot several deer from the ground while bow hunting, including my biggest buck. I only shot one from a blind though, and it was a make shift affair. I cut down an old hollow oak for firewood and had the thin pieces from the base of the trunk left over. I decided that they could be stood...
