Return Of The Jaguar to Arizona and New Mexico, your thoughts?
Southern Arizona is existing jaguar habitat is it not? If they came naturally would that be different? Not trying to be argumentative just fleshing out ideas. Anyone remotely interested in jaguars should read “Tigrero”.- 375H&H

Black Bear Tags
Just a total stab in the dark but perhaps all of the hunting media shows over the last 10 years showing how easy it was to do. I could be totally wrong though!! I still can’t figure out why SE MT has blown up in popularity either…I mean there was a video telling everyone to go there but doubt...- 375H&H

New gun dilemma
30 cal will not drop most animals larger than a deer (usually not even a deer). You will be following a blood trail on most of them. Hell I shoot most of my game with a 375H&H and I still have blood trails, albeit not long ones. And I take this rifle on my backcountry mountain hunts for moose... -
New gun dilemma
I hate to be unsexy but maybe the 30.06…new calibers are just reinventions of ones that already exist…and work fine. -
Bore Guide?
Why do you need to? Mild solvent (anything except CR10 etc) doesn’t do anything negative to the action. -
Bore Guide?
I don’t ever use a bore guide other than the little plastic thing that aligns the rod on the crown to avoid contact. Either way, I did upgrade to the Tipton carbon fiber cleaning rod a few years back and even if I do hit the crown with that, there is no way any of it will do damage to... -
Short notice Bison hunt
Great info and no doubt you had yours cut up quicker than mine!! Don’t be shy about sharing your pro tip: have the local game and fish officer get their hands bloody helping you butcher this massive animal.- 375H&H

Short notice Bison hunt
Bull/cow? Knife, sharpener, saw, sled, rope, come along I consider mandatory after I did my bull. If bull, cape for whatever mount you are doing and leave the rest. If cow, take as much of the hide as you can/want. Use saw to sever spine behind skull and windpipe (picture a 4” PVC pipe). Leave...- 375H&H

Father in Law’s First Bull
I work my way down to my FIL and am absolutely shocked at what I see. It’s the biggest bull I have ever been a part of in this unit on the ground. I have seen larger, but never dropped one myself or helped with one. An absolutely beautiful elk that would spoil anyone as their first bull, and to... -
Father in Law’s First Bull
I immediately stop, not knowing exactly what is going on, and wait. About a minute later another shot is heard. I yell “yes?” Which is answered with a confirmation from my FIL of “yes! I just saw horns and started shooting. 6 point bull.” Needless to say I am a little skeptical since I only... -
Father in Law’s First Bull
I tell my FIL the best bet is to have him set up opposite to where he did during the first drive and watch the spotted timbered hillside. I will book it to where the rag horn went into the timber, find his tracks, and drive them again into his shooting window. No way an elk drive would work... -
Father in Law’s First Bull
The next morning we hunt the meadows like I have developed through numerous other hunts for elk/deer for maximum opportunity. We are walking around all morning smelling elk, seeing tracks and sign, but no actual elk. We crest the top of the hill where we can see most of the huntable area and I... -
Father in Law’s First Bull
The next week rolls around and we are back in no name Creek at first light. Immediately we spot a 5 point bull that we put a stalk on. He slowly meanders into the timber before we can get a clear shot. We finish the morning hunt with no other elk seen. We again take the evening off as no other... -
Father in Law’s First Bull
My FIL is quite upset (understandably as the shot was less than 200yds) so we call off the evening hunt and try again in the morning. We go to a new spot across the road and see a bull moose and bull elk tracks from the night but no elk. We try sitting and glassing my honey hole for this area... -
Father in Law’s First Bull
The drive had worked beautifully, but my FIL never saw the bull get up as he was getting his pack so I describe what I saw. At this point the snow is beginning to pile up so we quickly start tracking. It is clear at first the bull is bleeding with regularity and dragging his leg. After about a...
