    Tipi style wall tent?

    We had a pine squirrel once that made off with about a half loaf of bread, he came in under the wall of the tent. He must have been stashing it as he couldn't have eaten that much.

    Mom and kids Wyoming antelope hunt

    Some of my fondest memories are hunting with my dad and brothers before us kids were old enough to pack a rifle. I really enjoyed your story.

    Sunday Pic of the Day

    While my son and I were hunting last weekend a pocket gopher popped up right by our feet and did his thing for a few minutes. He was clueless that we were there.

    Big tree thread

    I took this picture at 9000 ft. A few weeks ago. I would say it was 5 feet through at the base. I stood in the burned out cavity. No trees around were even 2 feet Dia. I would love to know how old it was.

    The Eberhart Experiment

    My brother and I were gutting a deer once and had a young coyote come to us straight up wind to about 30 yards in totally open country. It had been below zero for several days and I think he was starving. He was zigging and zagging and I missed him at 30 yards, he ran out about 25 yards further...

    The Eberhart Experiment

    Story time. A few years back my brother glasses a mule deer buck about a mile away in open country. He walks up there and jumps a buck and kills it. Before he gets to it he realized it was the wrong buck, looks around and can't figure where the right buck could have gone. He started gutting his...

    The Eberhart Experiment

    Have you ever seen an animal stop and smell your tracks and bolt back to where they came from? I think they can smell your breath, but I have no clue how far. Coyotes probably a lot further than a deer.

    The Eberhart Experiment

    I just keep the windows on the truck rolled up until just before I shoot. So far, so good.

    Hunting versus just killing stuff in

    Nice, you must have gotten your second wind after that goat kicked your butt.

    Hunting versus just killing stuff in

    All this negativity is getting me pumped. 1 short week to go, can't wait! Going to go sleep with the bears for a few nights. I listened to a guy tell me all the reasons to skip the first weekend just a few days ago. All reasons that I have heard for 50 years running. After the weekend he will...

    Mt 417-20

    I am usually thinking that I am not interested in any elk permit, but damn you guys are making this unit sound pretty good.

    Half tube lever actions

    It was generally to lighten or better balance the rifle. Same with half round or shorter than standard barrels. Especially on large lever rifles, it makes them much more pleasant to carry in your hand. I agree that shorter than full mag tubes don't look as good.
