    Dolly Parton dead at 80

    I've been worried about her for a few months now. She always sounded so optimistic in those almost cryptic messages about her health, but I was worried there was something serious beneath the surface. Very sad news about an American treasure.

    Seth Bodnar - independent US Senate candidate

    I assumed as much! I think most Americans pass civics pretty easily because, if my high school was representative, coach Jones read straight from the textbook and his tests were all multiple choice. At any rate, maybe my civics lesson was helpful to some of the other participants in the...

    Seth Bodnar - independent US Senate candidate

    The electoral college is a product of our federalist system of government in which sovereignty was envisioned to be shared between the states and a central government. It was designed so that candidates from Philadelphia, Boston, or NY couldn't win the presidency simply by running up the score...

    This thread covers at least two of those!

    Elk bullet in Grizzly country

    I've never given it a thought. If you have a 180 grain bullet suitable for elk, it will be "suitable" for griz, should you need it. I put the word in quotes, of course, recognizing the many variables in a griz encounter that might effect your ability to put the bullet in the right spot...

    Rifle Caliber Recommendation - 270/308/30-06

    Sounds like you found what you were looking for. Repeating what others have said, any of those three calibers will work just fine if it's a rifle you shoot well. I have a .308 rifle that I shoot very well and I now use it almost exclusively for deer, antelope, and elk. I like the 180 grain...

    Boot delima

    I hear you, brother. Unfortunately, I don't know of a sure fire way to find a boot that works for your feet other than putting some miles on them in terrain similar to your hunting area. For trying them on, you could try ordering some models online from retailers with solid return policies and...

    No more brick and mortar license sales?

    I ordered mine from the website this weekend and printed my paper tags (as I have done for several years) but I always like having options. I don't see a reduction in options as progress. As for e-tagging, perhaps I'm paranoid, but I don't like the idea of using my smart phone for anything I...

    GIVEAWAY!!! Caribou Gear Rifle Cover

    I found a wallow last summer in an undisclosed national forest location and hung a camera, catching plenty of black bear and 6 or 7 different bull elk visiting the spot. My plan was to hunt that spot hard during the archery season last year, but as luck would have it, I used my general elk tag...

    The “Greatest” Weapon in Film History

    Great movie, but when I think of that movie, I always think of this weapon:

    Non resident hunting advice

    If you aren't in decent physical conditioning, you have a few options: For many of us DIYers on this forum, the idea of hiring an outfitter seems blasphemous, but if you have no experience with western elk hunting, have physical limitations, and aren't sure how many more opportunities you'll...

    RIP Chuck Norris - Let's honor him with your favor Chuck Norris jokes!

    When Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone, he discovered he had already missed three calls from Chuck Norris.

    Elk camp 25

    Great stories. Congrats to your son on the Gatekeeper bull! A mount like that is far more interesting than "just another" big bull. Also, I need to find me a buddy who can pack out a front shoulder, rear quarter, and head in one trip! :ROFLMAO: I'd definitely have his phone number saved on...

    SC Public Land Archery Buck

    Congrats, brother! I agree that's a nice public land buck for SC. As you pointed out, I used to tell folks that what SC lacks in quality deer, it certainly makes up for in quantity. As much as I love hunting out here in Montana, I do sometimes miss the ability to hunt deer on relatively small...

    What are you currently reading?

    I just finished The Little Liar, by Mitch Albom. What a great little powerful novel. He could have easily written the story as an 800-page epic, but he managed to pack much the same punch into 330 pages. You can read it in a weekend (or less).

    Used My General Tag on a Cow Yesterday

    I had a buddy who was able to meet me within an hour. He's about half my age and twice as strong, but there was no way we were going to be able to pull her out of that creek once her hide got waterlogged. Not with out mechanized equipment anyway. We employed the gutless quartering method to...

    Let’s talk about your shot process…

    I'm also only a few years into my archery hobby and started with hay bales. Eventually, I built a gallows and hung one of those heavy rubber stall mats like you can find at Tractor Supply or similar stores. Since the backstop hangs, you have the added advantage of being able to hang it from a...
