Was a pretty quick season this year with only 3 guys in camp. I picked a bad time to catch a hell of a cold, still not over it but seems like I'm on the mend.
Had some great action and I messed up on a real nice 6 point opening day, long story short, either shot over it or hit a limb. My miss...
My good friend Tom and I had a pretty good week long run.
Started with helping Tom with a ram in Colorado. I hunted several days with him and finally all came together one night right at dark. Was a late night getting back to the truck at 12:30 AM but worth it.
Wasn't sure I'd have time to...
Just relaxing in Whitehorse after being in the bush for the past 14 days. Mountain Caribou in Canada has been something I have been dreaming about for about as long as I can remember. I first read about them in an outdoor life magazine at my Grandfather's house what seems like a lifetime ago...
With Corner crossing being appealed to the Supreme Court, we thought it would be a good idea to nationally get the word out on what's going on.
Ryan Semerad, the lead attorney on the case, will be on the call to answer questions and give an update.
If you can make it, RSVP and spread the word...
I've been watching this buck for about the past 3 years, he hangs out at the end of my street. I'm pretty sure he is now 7 years old and has his best horns, not by much but a bit better than the past.
I'm going to try to get some better pics, but he's a solid buck for sure. Took these when I...
Got word earlier today from Ryan Semerad that Iron Bar is looking to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court over corner crossing.
Had a lengthy discussion with Ryan and Lee Mickus about this a month ago, they think the case is solid and if the USSC hears the case they expect a favorable ruling. It...
I've been communicating quite a bit with Ryan the past month or so. We all owe the guy a big thank you for arguing (successfully) the corner crossing case. In that time, he's also become a staunch public land supporter. We need guys like this on our side.
He told me about a month ago he was...
How protecting public lands start, constructive talks.
Shout out to the groups involved and Representative Zinke.

Due to some strange circumstances, the group of us that go to AK every year have found ourselves with one open slot.
We have 7 going, with room for one more...no big deal if we don't find someone else to fill the last spot but thought I'd throw it out there.
Trip will be 1 day of travel there...
Need to keep the stories coming, if you have them post them up. I've been compiling a bunch. If its anything else, put a cork in it.

SF118 is not an issue any longer, thank you to those that submitted comments.
Just an FYI, please keep comments respectful. Get your points across professionally, be firm but fair.
Thanks again.

We need your help again. In less than 24 hours after sending out the alert about Senate File 118 - the Legislature's attempt to privatize wildlife for private profit - nearly 500 BHA members took action to tell the Senate Travel, Recreation, and Wildlife Committee to oppose this bill.
Thank you...

Went out this morning to look around for a couple cows and found about 6-7 hundred right at daylight. Planned a 2.5 mile stalk, worked out really well. It's always a pain to get on those big herds, but lucked out and caught the tail end of the herd (about 75). Picked out a cow and shot, heard...
I hate long posts but in this case I think its worth it to tell a couple stories within the story about my Montana sheep tag.
For starters, I've applied since I was a little kid in Montana, 43 years to be exact before I found out I drew my tag. It's funny how what you believe will happen on a...
