The Sportsmans Guide has Columbia Gallatin Range wool hunting clothes for $60 a piece. $180 for a complete wool hunting outfit is a great deal. This time of year I am practically living in mine. It may not be the best, but you will get many years of service from this stuff, this probably...
What are the things to consider when choosing a taxidermist? I want to get a buck wall mounted. Does anyone recommend a particular taxidermist in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois or Michigan?

North Central North Dakota
Busting cattail sloughs, sweet clover and shelterbelts on private, CRP and PLOTS lands produced five bucks and eight does for a hunting party of nine.

Well, I have had some time now with the Minolta Activa D WP XL 8x42mm binoculars I bought for my wife. I am pleasantly surprised with the overall quality of these Chinese made optics. The image is clear and bright, and they appear to be well collimated, seemingly equally the view of mid-range...
I am more than happy with the Eagle Optics Ranger Platinum Class binoculars. I used them this summer bird and wildlife viewing, during two deer seasons and use them coyote hunting. After a recent hunt which I let a buddy see my binoculars he went to Middleton and had a pair of 8x32mm sent to...
North Dakota is awesome for whitetails! Nice looking deer Bwana! Seven days of busting cattail sloughs, sweet clover and shelterbelts resulted in five bucks and eight does for our hunting party of nine.

If you go in from the north off of State Route 291 on FR 474 or better yet FR 483 and hike up a couple of miles you can get away from most of the other hunters. You can get high and glass or still hunt the timber.
From the east coming in on State Route 290 there is quite a bit of BLM and state...
I usually hunt around Cody but there is a lot of BLM land around Basin, you can see where it is here: Wyoming Internet Map Server
First zoom into your area. Select BLM managed land from the database under Reference, Managed Areas, Bureau of Land Management, BLM Managed Land, and select Create...
Eagle Optics optics are very good. I just bought their Ranger Platinum Series 8x42mm roof prism binoculars on the last day of the $100 rebate. After rebate they will have set me back $299.80. I think they are better than Pentax DCF WPs and as far as I can tell every bit as good as the Leicas I...
I immediately contacted PETCO at the link below to let them know I will no longer be buying anything at their store.

I think anyone purchasing binoculars should try to evaluate the Eagle Optics Platinum Class Ranger roof prism binoculars. $100 rebate until May 31, 2003. They are carried by Wild Birds Unlimited where one can look through them. They have stores in Coeur d'Alene, Spokane and Polson. Info is...
Besides clams, crabs, halibut and salmon what fishing and hunting opportunities are there for residents of Homer, Alaska? Within 150 miles? If one had a decent boat?
Each wolf is responsible for the demise and hopefully consumption of 1.5 deer per month. The pack where I hunt was 5 animals 4 years ago. There could be as many as 8 wolves now, maybe more. A pack of 8 animals will kill around 144 deer a year. The deer management unit I hunt is supposed to...
-50 to 150 fps depending on the rifle
-at least a 24" tube is desirable for the 280AI
-potential for less case trimming
-potential for lots of tinkering
I can get about 3150 fps with a 140 grain Partition with either RL22 or H4831

Re: Chronic Wasting Disease & the Wisconsin Deer Eradication Experiment
As a landowner and year-round resident within the CWD Hot Zone, I have a natural interest in digging deep beneath the rhetoric on CWD to discover the essential...

The WASTING LANDS - the CWD epidemic in deer

Chronic Wasting Disease of deer is much the same as scrapie in sheep. It is a traditional variant of the spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) range of diseases; a previously unheard of...
