    New Vortex Spotter

    I’ve had vortex, leupold, and burrris optics for my whole life and never had an issue. At this stage in life I have 15 vortex scopes, the razor spotter and a couple pairs of binoculars. For the price they are extremely reliable and well put together. Anybody who is slamming vortex is either...

    Utah lions

    If anyone has been paying attention to Utah this year our governor just passed a bill that will make lions open to hunting year round. But it will open some new doors for the states trappers as well because trapping lions will be an option now. I personally am thrilled to have the opportunity to...

    Where to hunt wolves.

    So for the last few years since wolf hunting in the west has opened up and become a thing normal people have access to I have wanted to hunt them. My biggest problem is which state to hunt them in? What is the general opinion?

    .300 WSM for Pronghorn?

    I wouldn’t feel bad using any bullet in 300 wsm as long as you shoot through the lungs. But I load 125 grain nosler ballistic tips for antelope and smaller game.

    What is America's all time best, purely civilian hunting cartridge?

    Does the 300 savage still count though since it is the father to the 7.62 nato and 308 as we know them? If we are going off of purely civilian with no military family I would argue that one of the Winchester short magnums whose parent is the 404 jefferies, would have to come into the discussion...

    Cottontail Rabbits Round Out The Hunting Season

    It’s not that I’m starving but rather that my dad told me if you’re gonna kill something you’d better eat it. And those big mountain hares go a long way in a stew.

    What is America's all time best, purely civilian hunting cartridge?

    270 win. Is one of the best hunting cartridges of all time. It is never given a fair trial when people start haveing the conversion but it is a magnum cartridge in all but name. It is flatter shooting to 500 yards than almost any Standard cartridge out there. And it will be around long after a...

    .300 wsm ammo shortage

    I spoke to some friends at a name brand ammo manufacturer and they said that the reason is that there are no manufacturers producing brass for 300 wsm right now. Or 270 wsm. Idk why but it sucks. And the price per box has gone up to insane prices when you get lucky and find it. Cal ranch tends...

    Cottontail Rabbits Round Out The Hunting Season

    It’s the season now for sure. I’ve let a lot of rabbits live over the last couple years due to low population but this year I think it’s time to start harvesting them again. We ran out of rabbit in the freezer about 10 months ago. But there have been some mountain hares to fill the pot.

    Rabbit rifle

    Other than a 32 cal. Cap and ball gun I don’t think I’d chase rabbits with something that big intentionally. I use a Henry 22 mag with a fixed 4 power Simmons scope. Out to 200 yards it is dead nuts accurate and really doesn’t do any more damage than a regular 22.

    2022/2023 Trapping Thread

    On a normal year I run about a 50-75 trap line but for the last 2 years I haven’t run more than a couple with gas prices up and fur prices down, but instead I’ve began to teach my neighbors how to trap. The dad did it many years ago and his boys want to learn so they came to me and asked if I’d...

    HOWA questions here

    A couple years ago I was able to pick up a howa 1500 kuiu verde rifle through work. It’s chambered in 7mm-08 which in my experience is an inherently accurate cartridge but I’ve struggled to get the rifle to shoot any load better than 2” groups. I’ve shot nosler, federal, Remington, and hornaday...

    Cottontails The Other White Meat

    I love rabbit hunting. Up until a couple years ago I spent 15-35 days a winter hunting the furry little buggers. But when VHD set in and the population disappeared in my normal hunting areas I gave up on it. But this season they seem to be coming back fairly well finally so my hope is that by...

    Elk .... Let's see them!!!

    When I drew this tag in 2013 I was told by my boss I’d have all the time in the world to hunt. He knew I was invested with 12 years of my life trying to get the coveted tag. But when the time came to hunt and I approached him about the time off I’d been promised he flew off the handle and said...

    Talk me into Coyote hunting

    I’ve been hunting and trapping coyotes for years and skin them out to sell the fur. But I also hunt really hard for them in the spring when calving and fawning is going on to help prevent the predation of the newborn deer and elk as well as the birthing mothers.
