    Right Place, Right Time.

    Sometimes you just get lucky. Friday I hunted all day. At first light this awesome big boar came in and one shot from the 4570 knocked him straight down. Wild hogs get a bad rap. I understand why. They absolutely destroy areas and they are invasive, but man are they fun to hunt and I think the...

    SC Public Land Archery Buck

    Whitetail hunting on public land in the deep south can be pretty tough. The learning curve is steep. I’ve gotten pretty good with it over the years basically by failing over and over, but now I see deer on a fairly regular basis. Our bag limits here in South Carolina are pretty liberal, which is...

    11 Days Solo in the Colorado Wilderness High Country... and my Best Buck Ever

    I love high country deer hunting. Whenever I get asked what my favorite thing to hunt is I always say early season high country deer. The reason I say that is because its basically a sheep or goat hunt that I can do almost every year. I don't live in Alaska or Canada so sheep and goat hunts are...

    Sitka Blacktail in Southeast Alaska with Dsnow

    I'd had another Southeast Alaska Sitka Blacktail hunt planned for a while now with another friend/hunttalker. I really enjoy going up there in the early season and hunting the bucks in the high country and I was looking forward to this hunt to kick off the 2025 fall season. Due to some...

    New Zealand - Vacation with my wife and Red Stag

    I never did a write up on this. Back in March my wife and I went to NZ for a couple weeks. Well, I went for 2 weeks, my wife came for a week. The first week was on the North Island doing all the touristy stuff. I told her we could do whatever she wanted (within reason, lol). We had a great...

    Tikka T3 Carbon Fiber Stock and Bottom Metal

    I'm doing some upgrading on my rifle I built so I'm selling off some of the stuff that I changed around. This is a Mesa Precision Arms Altitude stock. Mesa precision Arms rebranded to Pure Precision a few years ago, but it's the same stock. Paint color is Alpine. There is absolutely nothing...

    Joel Pilcher Original Charcoal Drawing 48”x48”

    In 2022 Joel Pilcher and MTN OPS did a collaboration giveaway to anyone that bought products off the MTN OPS website. My wife from time to time orders from them for workout supplements that she takes. She wasn’t trying to enter any giveaway, but right before Christmas a massive package showed up...

    InReach Se

    I have an Inreach for sale. Never had any issues with him. Works well. Garmin changing their subscription plans really hurts me, but I think it could work well for someone still. There is some scratching on the face that you can see if you hold it at an angle with the light, but I had a screen...

    January Texas Draw Hunt - Deer and Hogs

    My first hunt of 2024. I drew a Texas muzzle loader hunt on a National Wildlife refuge. I have no idea what my odds were, but I had 5 points, I think. I'm leaving shortly to begin the 13.5hr drive. I'll get somewhere on the other side of ATL tonight before stopping to sleep. My hunt starts on...

    Solar Chargers - What do you use?

    I am in the process of planning a really serious backpack mtn hunt for next fall. Probably the most serious/demanding hunt I've ever attempted. I'm anticipating being on the mountain for 20ish days (possibly solo) living out of my pack. I usually just carry like 3 or 4 portable power banks, but...

    SC Whitetail

    As hard as I hunt across the west, I hunt every bit as hard in South Carolina. I go deer hunting about 3 days a week from Aug 15 - Sep 15. Then about 6 times a week for 3 months unless I’m out of town. I shoot deer for family, coworkers, friends and friends of friends. I hunt some private and a...

    My biggest/longest road trip yet.

    Well the title says it all. This is going to be a long one. I’ll update it the best I can as I have signal based on the unit I’m going to be hunting at the time. Four tags. Four states. 25 days.… Give or take a couple. I drew my first choice New Mexico deer tag. Which is a first for me I’ve...

    Wyoming General Elk Wilderness Hunt

    This year I decided it was time to cash in my elk points and try my hand in Wyoming chasing elk. I applied for a west general tag and WY gladly took my 5 points after the completely typical 5 month wait for the draw results. My friend Trent and I have been hunting together for 3-4 years...

    Alaska Caribou

    I leave tomorrow morning about 1 AM to head to the airport CHS-ATL-SEA-FAI. My buddy and I are meeting up in ATL and heading north. Once we land in Fairbanks we’ll grab our truck and head to get some fuel for our stoves and a couple gas cans. Then it’s up to the haul rd. We have a couple weeks...

    Shout out to Maven

    I bought a pair of B.2 11x45's a couple of years ago. I have been nothing but impressed with these binos. They are absolutely fantastic. I'm not sure if I'm super hard on gear or if I just hunt a lot and it gets a ton of use, but my stuff has to work. Garbage gear comes out of the pack and goes...

    Selling on Gunbroker

    Have any of y'all ever sold a gun on gunbroker? I've bought a good bit, but never sold. If you have sold on gunbroker could you send me a PM so I could ask you some questions. I have a custom pistol I built that I want to sell. TIA

    Kansas Geese

    I was recently able to head out to Kansas and hunt some geese with the gang from Veil camo. We had a great time hanging out for 4 days. We shot all different species of geese, but the hunting highlight of the trip for me was finally being able to get my first speck. I’ve wanted one of these...

    Tundra Swan

    I’ve wanted to hunt these birds for a while and this year I drew a tag up in NC. I hooked up my mini camper and made the 6hr drive up to Elizabeth City, NC in the NE corner of the state. I spent the night in the Walmart parking lot going to sleep to the sounds of swans calling overheard...

    My First Coues Deer

    A Coues deer has been on my list for a while. They seemed like such cool little deer that lived in unique country. I’ve been applying for Coues in NM with my first 2 choices for a few years now, but I’ve been unsuccessful. While applying in NM I was building points in AZ with the plan of burning...
