After reading Hatchet to my children a few years ago, I decided to get some sort of breakdown .22 to put in the vehicle emergency kit. I’ve used it periodically to do some plinking to pass the time.
Yesterday my son played hookie from school and we attempted to make our way to a lake, full of...
Christensen Arms Mesa chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. Topped with a Burris Fullfield E1 3-9×40 in Talley lightweight rings/bases. Includes three full boxes of Berger 135 Gain Classic Hunter, 16 once-fired Lapua brass, and 20 once-fired Hornady brass.
I purchased this rifle for my daughter in...
The week between Christmas and New Years is always a favorite to go look at bighorns in the unit by my home. The sheep are in small bands, in easily accessed areas. Current estimates put the herd at 150 animals, 1/3 of population objective.
Sheep sure are cool animals!
Quick question for you gun nuts, from a functionality standpoint, should one be concerned about the etching on this bolt face?
The backstory - a neighbor of mine, who is new to hunting, brought over his new rifle to show me. The rifle was purchased off of gunbroker.com and the condition was...
Back in 1949 two members of the “greatest generation” were married and settled in a small town. The young bride came from an affluent family; the young groom came from quite the opposite. The young bride wanted to give her husband a special wedding present. Knowing of his love of pheasant...
My son was lucky enough to draw a crane tag this year and punched his tag on the first flock that decoyed! We were able to have a crane/goose combo hunt and it was simply amazing.
We shared the field with some wonderful folks and were able to fill all the crane tags and knock down a few...

Let me preface this by saying that I am not a mule deer hunter, I'd rather hunt pretty much anything else. After chatting with my then-nine-year-old son earlier this year around application time, he said he'd like to pack back in somewhere and hunt deer. Fast forward a few months, and with a tag...
Had a wonderful morning with my favorite hunting partner. We were both able to fill our two-bird permits. Moved lots and lots of birds this morning.
There’s just something about a sunrise in the west.
My son won the biggest grouse contest - one of his topped the scale at 5.5 pounds.
When I think about the west, I can't help but think of a few of the iconic species - mule deer, sage grouse, antelope, bighorn sheep, etc. But the one that stands out to me is the bison. As such, when I heard about the opportunity to hunt free range bison on the Crow Indian Reservation in...
This morning was the opener for Utah’s general season youth hunt. The pre-scouted birds worked perfectly. Two jakes were the first to arrive and at 15 steps, only one was able to escape.
I REALLY wish this kid would put some shape to the hat brim. 🤦🏻♂️
Purchased new in 2021 and used on various hunts. Pack is used, but not abused. $250 TYD. Absolutely no issues with pack - all zippers and buckles work perfectly. I'll include a Kifaru Universal Gun Bearer for another $50. I'll accept PayPal, Zelle, Venmo, or money order.
This pack is great...
I'm in the market for either a 20 or 28 gauge over/under or sidexside. I never thought I'd be interested in a sidexside, but I was handling one over the weekend and really liked the feel of it. My budget is $3k.
Over/under or sidexside?
I've always been a Benelli fan, so I'm seriously...
Taxes are not my forte, so hopefully someone can shed some light on this for me...
How many of you adjust your withholdings to get as close to zero as possible come tax time? My wife and I have always received a pretty good refund, but I'm open to the idea of changing things up. Honestly, it...
Let me preface this by saying that I have the world’s greatest Father. He’s been my hero and friend since I can remember. As time goes by and people age, it’s kind of funny to see the little nuances that show up.
For the past couple weeks I’ve been hunting birds with him and other family...
What a wonderful morning with my son, Dad, and Uncle. My son was able to kill his first duck, a hen wigeon, and the rest of us got plenty of shooting!!
I started hunting South Dakota as a wee teenager nearly two decades ago. I anxiously look forward to this trip every year.

Along the route from Utah to SD, we encountered elk, antelope, mule deer, white-tails, ducks, geese, swans, cranes, turkeys, sharptails, huns, and...
