Tomorrow morning well before the sun rises I will depart for Wyoming with my oldest daughter. She had some tough luck in the draw and came up empty on a buck tag, but she drew a doe tag in a different unit. The 2nd choice application was a bit of an afterthought, and if I believe what I read on...
I am having a rifle built that will primarily be for my oldest daughters use, and the scenario will present itself that we will be using the same caliber rifles on the same hunts for the next couple of years (hopefully longer but college gets closer for her every day). My current rifle shoots...
Just as the title suggests...
I picked up some A-Frames to load into the 7-08 as accubonds have been as rare as jackalope lately. I've read that the A-frames have a harder copper jacket that can cause pressure issues if not careful and finding swift reloading data is kind of a PITA.
Let me...
If you're a parent and have kids at home tonight, give them an extra hug and try to set aside some time this weekend to spend some quality time. If your kids are out of the house, call them just to say hello.
It would mean a lot to me if you would.
Complete reloading neophyte question time.
If I am reloading for a caliber but I can't find load data for the exact combination of components I am using, can I choose the data for a bullet of the same mass and use that for load development?
For example, I want to load 100 grain TSX for my...
I brought home my dad's Rem 700 BDL this weekend as a gift from him. I don't think the rifle has dimpled a primer in 15 years. It is wearing its original BDL wood with a hinged floor plate. I attempted to disassemble it to clean it tonight and it took way more persuading to remove the...
I'm planning on bringing my Theron spotter west to the badlands of ND this fall for a mule deer hunt but my old tripod is kind of a POS.
Any suggestions on a fairly reasonably priced tripod for use in open lands glassing?
I drive a pretty fancy rig when I traipse about the hills, a 1998 F-150. It came with no jack when I bought the truck a few years ago (something you only find out when you need it) so for the past couple years I've kept a bottle jack in the bed in case I need to do some roadside repairs. Two...
Who has gotten it? How bad does it affect you?
I've only had a rash twice in my life; 4 years ago after a trip to the badlands and right fricking now after being my father's lake in northern Minnesota over the weekend.
The first rash was isolated to my calves below the knee. This rash...
Results are up. I accumulated another point this year. It would have been a fantastic year to pull a badlands mule deer tag. The green vegetation combined with low tag numbers will yield some big deer this fall I would bet.
I BELIEVE...
Not a huge soccer fan, but any time an event pits one nations pride against another I can typically find myself interested.
Let's go out and beat those waffle making eurotrashers!
I BELIEVE THAT WE...
Maybe I missed it, but is anyone else attempting to get less fat this year?
I went the Oprah route last year by losing 45 pounds bottoming out for hunting season and proceeding to lash about 30 pounds back on during the winter.
Now that it's nice enough to be outside running again I've...
I was reading an article about solar powered devices that have been developed to help developing parts of the world when I came across the LuminAID. Anyone ever used one while camping?
It's essentially a solar powered LED light that has an inflatable translucent bladder to diffuse the light...
I can't believe no one mentioned this yet!
In 5 years of FCS championship eligibility, NDSU now has more rings than the revered Griz... that is all :hump:
The game was awesome, my girls loved the Perot Science Museum in Dallas, and the Ft. Worth Stockyards were pretty cool. The drive home...
Has anyone ever done it? Experiences good or bad?
I owned a nice spotter once upon a time but my I sold it as my need for one is very limited at this point. I am headed to Montana for an elk hunt in November and I know it would be nice to have one for that trip.
A guy can rent a Swaro 65mm...

The boss wanted some peace and quiet yesterday so I took advantage by taking my girls out on their first ever goose hunt. Even after I "brushed" their burlap with some straw they struggled a bit to keep their heads down. The beauty of early season...
T-24 hours until I pack up the family and we head to Kansas State for the season opener against your defending national champion NDSU Bison. Section 17 Row 34 with my wife along with my 5- and 3-year old daughters.
Am I expecting a win... can't go that far. Do I think we can play with them, I...
