Experienced sharp-tailed grouse hunters, what do you think? I've been hunting deer and antelope in an area I've never hunted and I have been running into insane numbers of sharptails. They're always in exactly the same spots and exactly the same habitat. Is it normal for some areas to be like...
How much do you practice with your shotgun? I confess, I literally only shoot when I'm hunting. The past couple seasons, I've had a 90%+ hit rate on birds, mostly upland. I got my first dusky grouse double last September. Three years ago I purchased an over/under after only ever using a...
My daughter loves the Meateater line-up of digital content, especially Cal's stuff. I approve. After giving her permission to watch Cal In The Field, I caught her watching HUSHIN. I put the kibosh on that real quick. You can't leave your kids alone with the internet for even 30 seconds.
Tell me of the problems I'm overlooking. My wife has been bugging me for a few years about taking a fall trip to the Tetons. It was her childhood yearly vacation spot and she's been wanting to go back. In the interest of forcing myself to commit to it for her, I'm thinking of applying for a type...

I'm goose hunting in NE next week with a co-worker. Since a small game license is good for two days, I may take the opportunity to hunt pheasants as well. Any tips on where to go? PM preferred. Unless I get some hot tips, my plan is to simply go to the OFW areas closest to Cheyenne.
I'm currently on day 12 with my buck antelope. I ate a back strap at day 10. The flavor was good, but it was still a little tough. I had a whole shoulder from this year's fawn antelope at the two week mark, and it was off-the-charts good, seared and braised for 6 hours. The weather was too wet...
Got my buck yesterday and had a surprise when I walked up to him. He was showing me his good side when I shot him. He had some bruising on his ribs and ham but no broken bones and the meat seems fine.
I plan on hunting the CO sage grouse opener in the Walden area. Is it worth the extra drive to go to NW CO instead? In WY, I wouldn't drive past Saratoga to go to Rock Springs.
I've never duck hunted and was never really interested in it, but one of my young Brittanys loves water and retrieving, so I want to get him out in the field this fall. There are places around here where I've found ducks and can just jump shoot some ducks, but I would like to sit in a blind and...
Calling in rutting bulls has its place, but most of the time I prefer chasing grouse. Who else is counting down the days until the grouse opener? I’ve really upped my dog training game (from zero to mediocre) and am super excited to hike through the sage and snowberries with a Brittany at my...
