    (Questions/Advice) Wife wants to start hunting

    I haven't been on here in quite some time and never thought to come update it. 6 years have gone by, our family has doubled in size, and we've moved twice more. She ended up with a Tikka in 7mm-08. In hindsight, I would gone with a 6.5 CM or even 243. She did end up with a bull Caribou about...

    Ridgeback Customs Sling Review

    I've just finished testing a sling by Ridgeback Customs. This sling is made from Water Buffalo leather and has proven to be quite nice for my needs. My primary rifle sling for hunting has been a Turner Saddlery Synthetic High Power sling because I haven't found a sling that gives me a balance of...

    Goodbye, Ruger

    That always sucks to hear. My GSD is named Ruger. He is not a once in a lifetime dog. Sarge, my last GSD was that dog.

    Harvesting Elk Calf

    I grew up in GA. 2 Bucks and 10 Does was the limit. Anything legal got shot. I think for me with an elk it would depend on the status of my freezer.

    Fortymile Caribou

    The last caribou we had were rutted up and even the dogs wouldn't eat it. Smelled and tasted like urine. This one is much better.

    Fortymile Caribou

    On Saturday, I shot my second caribou and largest to date. After an unsuccessful day of hunting Friday, I planned to hunt a saddle about a mile from camp on Saturday morning. I hiked in to avoid spooking anything with a quad. I looked up about 45 minutes into my sit and saw a caribou standing in...

    Yet Another Vortex Going in for Warranty

    I haven't had a problem with any of my Vortex stuff but have moved to Leupold for most uses. What I don't like about Vortex is all of their higher end scopes have "busy" reticles. I like that I can get a VX-5 with a standard duplex reticle.

    Tajikistan Ibex

    Awesome write up. That seems like an amazing bucket list hunt.

    Packing enough gun?

    It seems we're on the same page. I currently live in Fairbanks. I have an 8-shot 357 and can pretty reliably empty a cylinder of 180gr Grizzly Cartridge into the A Zone of a USPSA target at 10 yards in around 4 seconds. It's taken a few thousand Short Colts and Specials to get to that point. I...
