    What Sport did you play growing up?

    Played little league baseball 9 through 12. When I was 13 and trying to decide if I wanted to continue my dad said, "if you don't play, we could spend the summer going to mountain lakes." I was done with sports forever with no regrets. I to this day rarely watch any sport on tv.

    How to prepare trout

    I like them fried up fresh in butter or bacon grease. If they go in the freezer, it may as well be the garbage can. I release most but if they are hooked bad, I keep them and eat them that day. When I get as much as we can eat, I quit fishing. I haven't put one in the freezer in 30 years.

    When did Caribou become a Premier Hunt

    I remember when you could go bow hunting for days and see no other hunters. I remember when you could jump off Carters bridge into the Yellowstone river in the summer without looking for boats first. I remember my family drawing 5 mountain goat tags in 3 years. I remember leaving big 6 point...

    When did Caribou become a Premier Hunt

    Probably when people figured out how heavy moose are. Seriously, I think it has always been that way. I lived in SW AK in the 1990s and they were hitting Caribou hard with drop camps before the peninsula herd collapsed, that was 30 years ago. You can make Caribou hunting as hard as you want.

    Swift Sciroccoll Bullets

    I shot a bull elk with a .30 cal. 165 grain Scirocco 11 at a little over 500 yards through both lungs and it exited. The bull walked 3 or 4 steps and stopped behind a tree so I couldn't shoot again and after a few seconds he fell and rolled down the hill. That was with a 300 RUM starting around...

    Influencers Ruining Stuff

    I wear progressive glasses so focusing on the rear sight isn't an option. The ghost ring rear solved the problem for me.

    Round In The Chamber

    I am going out with the musket in the morning and will have one in the pipe so you guys might just want to stay indoors. I scared the hell out of a bull last year with the sound of pulling the hammer back. He was about 50 feet away and I was looking at another bull and couldn't see the close...
