    Bear Rug

    Just got our bear rugs back. We went with soft rugs and skulls. Overall, I think they turned out well for an affordable option (ball park $500ish). Just need to shoot some bigger bears next time. Haha

    Land and water conservation fund

    Looks like they are about to divert funds from the LWCF to block its implementation. https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2025/08/02/public-land-water-conservation-fund

    Dept of Interior handed over to DOGE

    A close friend sent this to me. Haven't had time to fully research. Guy is a complete unknown, so I have no idea how this is going to affect public lands. But it should be on the radar. From HCR letters from an American: " Four days ago, on April 18, journalist Wes Siler noted in his Wes...

    Dry aging meat in fridge

    I've been playing with sausage maker steak wraps. They are 24"×24" collagen sheets that allow you to use a regular fridge as a drying chamber. I'm on ribeye #3 and have averaged 35-40 days. So far, it has been excellent results. Probably a 1/4" rind that has to be removed. These have me...

    Terminal Ballistics

    Excellent article on terminal ballistics on a variety of types of bullet construction. With expanding non-toxic use, it is interesting to see manufactures data compared to field reports on it's limitations...

    Leupold 1400Rxi Rangefinder

    This year I upgraded my rangefinder and picked up a leupold rx1400i. I wanted one that should allow me to shoot terrain at longer distances to plan stalks. Initial impressions are great. To be a cheap base model, it would routinely pick up animals and terrain out past 1000yds. The other guy...

    One last trip

    My older brother had been going through some health issues throughout past year, so we had to adapt our plans for this fall’s hunting season. With his limited mobility, we settled on some landowner vouchers in Utah for a mule deer hunt. It was not a “trophy” area, but we hoped plenty of deer...

    Canadian Lake Packing list

    Hey Guys, our group just finalized details and we will be bear hunting in N Ontario the 1st week of June 2023. It is a remote boat in lodge, with fishing during the mornings before going to the stand in the evenings. The lake has pike, walleye, whitefish, and smallmouth bass in it. We are...

    Recent project

    Been working on this rifle for a little while. Picked up a CZ550 American 30-06 in a fairly rough stock. Metal was in good shape and bore was mint. Just looked like someone had beat the finish off the stock in a tree stand. Ran across an unused MPI fiberglass/kevlar stock for a CZ. Had to finish...

    Alaska cabin?

    Does anyone have any recommendations for a cabin in Alaska. We are looking at taking a family trip summer 2023. 6-8 adults and 4 kids. Would love a place that is turn key with boat and all equipment needed for stream and ocean fishing. Sight seeing and close to activities that would keep kids...

    Bullet selection for close range black bear

    Got a bear hunt booked in N Ontario for spring of 2023. Booked a small outfitter that only hunts 1 week in spring and fall. They average 225lb boars but take a 350-400lb bear each week. So theres a decent chance at getting a shot at a big bear. Avg boreal thick cover, where shots will be close...

    Rifle Build Project

    I've been working on this project for awhile. As a sucker for a bargain and a self proclaimed mauser junkie, when I found some NOS stocks with nice grade walnut I jumped on a stack of them. They were inletted for 98s with a side safety, checkered, and had a tip. The grip cap and crossbolt were...

    Old school

    I was selected for a unique hunt this year. It's a population control hunt on some limited entry public land. Does only with an 8 deer quota for myself and guest this weekend. This morning I decided to hunt old school. No stands, no blind, just me and my old rolling block that was built in...

    HELP!!! Plumbing Issue, Main Water Supply Line

    This one is a little off topic, but I thought someone on here could help with an issue I'm having. I'm running a new waterline for our house. It is 1800' from the meter to the house. Little to no elevation change. I had the county install a 1" meter at the road. They tapped an 8" line on the...

    Improved Euro Mount technique

    I've been making my own euro mounts for the past several years and have slowly refined my technique. It's slow, but provides a quality mount that isn't too labor intensive. I've tried boiling, but prefer the quality of skulls cleaned with cold water maceration. Here's a run down of changes I've...

    Some broken hearts never mend.......

    Posting on another thread made me remember this story: In 1997, my brother and I took our first trip out west for a rifle mule deer/elk combo in Colorado. My brother Randall had always(still does) had a fetish for big freaky mule deer bucks. The year before our trip, I don't think I made it an...
