    Whats with E bikes in whitetail hunting?

    You are going to believe and do what you want but it's not all hocus pocus. When you walk to your stand, often a half mile or more you leave a continuous scent trail of boot tracks, doesn't matter rubber or not, you are leaving scent. On the bike you are leaving a tire track, just like a...

    12 yr old altitude sickness

    I live at 600' and the altitude elk hunting definitely gets to me. What I have found that works for me is to ease my way to altitude, first night might stay at 3000', second night 5-6000' then arrive in the high country third night. All that time drinking sh#tloads of water and no booze until...

    Boots for extra wide feet?

    I'd seriously consider buying some "made to fit" boots from someone like Russel or similar. There are quite a few boot makers that will build them specifically for you.

    Skull Cap vs Euro

    For many years I skull capped them and mounted on a wood plaque to hang on the wall. Most recently have been doing Euros. Skull caps are certainly a whole lot easier and quicker to do, just depends on what you want. They both look nice. I like to put a framed "hero shot" photo beside them.

    How to trap a skunk?

    We had a skunk that frequently went under our deck at the lake house. Set a live trap baited with a chicken bone near the entry and had him in morning. I had tied a 25' rope to the trap so I dragged the skunk in trap out the yard, off the pier and sunk him in the lake. Gave him some time to...

    Hunting and being hearing impaired

    My hearing is severely compromised from abuse in my younger years; concerts, loud stereos, construction equipment, shooting, etc. I wear ear plugs for just about everything now, even cutting the grass or running a weed blower. Trying to protect what hearing I have left. And yes, the deer...

    Old man, old cartridge, old elk

    That's great, congrats ! Gives me encouragement. Just turned 66 and haven't done a mountain hunt for a couple years. Think I'm going to book an elk hunt for next year.

    Outfitters

    This time of year most are in the field hunting, busy as heck. Try a booking agent like Jack Atcheson or WTA.

    Review on a New Rifle

    Just picked up a little walnut stocked Savage / Stevens bolt action .308 for a "loaner" rifle to let family and guests use when they hunt here. Very economical rifle priced at $449. It comes with a scope base mounted on the rifle so didn't have to buy a base. Bought a set of rings and I had a...

    R.I.P. Ace Frehley

    Saw KISS live a couple times in 70's when I was in high school. They were the hot band back in the day !

    price check Remington 870 wingmasters

    That's cool ! Assume they are the nicely blued gloss walnut stocked Wingmasters? Those are so much nicer than the normal 870's you see so frequently now days.

    coyote...menu

    I've got a cell cam on a couple apple trees behind the house that have been getting a lot of deer traffic. Coyotes show up there pretty frequently too. Not sure how many apples they eat but it's probably a good place to find other small critters to eat.
