    Watching the Opening Day Parade go by

    Ohh and if I needed a new truck for the outdoors I would just find a late 1980's or early 1990's Toyota 4x4 pickup with the extended cab and a great body, no rust, never been in an accident and I would rebuild it mechanically and have the seats redone. Might cost $10,000 to do all that and I...

    Good questions. In 1971 i bought a 30-06 Safari Grade bolt action Browning rifle. I still have it and hunt with it. In 1988 I bought a 1984 Toyota Land cruiser, 4 door., I still have it, maintained it meticulously. By todays 4x4 standards it is small. It is so simple. No computers. Both pair...

    Watching the Opening Day Parade go by

    "Cowboy State" a hunting mag from Wyoming just had an article about spitting up big game seasons making them shorter of course but with more than one opening day a way of beating the crowds. Also, I have seen way big crowds at trailheads where hunters were going in horseback hunting. No room...

    Watching the Opening Day Parade go by

    Usually I don’t hunt deer opening weekend. Tuesday or Wednesday are when I enjoy my first hunt, enjoy being the key. I sat in a coffee shop as the deployment of hunters drove by. Many I think came in yesterday, yet still this morning there were lots on the road in town. What struck me first...

    Black Camo Clothing for Western Deer/Big Game Hunting

    Deer season opens tomorrow for me. Because of huge wildfires and road closings I cannot go where I would normally. Where I will go has black angus cattle still grazing on national forest land. I prefer to be in places with no cattle of course. Usually, I get my hunting clothes at thrift...

    Black Camo Clothing for Western Deer/Big Game Hunting

    One my most effective camo clothing for big game hunting in the west is a baggy black suit I bought cheap at thrift shop and I wear it with a huge bright hunter orange “tie”. Most of us have seen images of Native Americans crawling around while hunting wearing an animal skin. As they get closer...

    Anybody Else Hunt with the Same Rifle for Half a Century ?

    I confess that I have gotten spoiled with my lighter stainless synthetic rifles. the farther in i go the more they feel like a feather when carried in the field. As I have gotten older and older a little more heavy seems like a lot,,,,when I am in the infantry. In a week I will be in the...

    Anybody Else Hunt with the Same Rifle for Half a Century ?

    In 1970 I bought myself a college graduation present, a used Belgium Browning Safari grade bolt action 30-06. It cost a fortune, $180. I had to make payments. It had a 4X Weaver scope on a one piece Redfield base with a flip up adjustable peep sight. To put that amount of money in perspective...

    Match grade barrels, Sako Versus Kimber

    I just learned many more details about this post topic from a bench rest competitor who only shoots Sako’s First, all the barrel blanks are the same for Tikka and Sako. Next however, the best blanks can be factory selected, and then milled for final chambering, threaded, and the rifle...

    Match grade barrels, Sako Versus Kimber

    Out of curiosity i just checked and Sweden is # 15 globally for men's height world wide. One of the things I really appreciate about the 14.25 " length of pull with all Sako stocks is safety from recoil and having the scope hit me between my eyes when shooting prone or curled forward when using...
