Puck hole replacement covers
A couple of weeks ago I hitched up the fifth-wheel camper and headed out in an attempt to help my wife find the antelope of her dreams. I remember removing the plastic puck system covers in my GMC 2500 to put the hitch in and thinking to myself that I need to find a good place to store the...- Bwana

What say you?
Here in North Dakota drawing an antelope tag is a big deal as it only happens every now and then given our winters can be tough on pronghorn. Anyway, after waiting 11 years my wife finally drew a tag so we will be hunting the first weekend in October. This is one of the better bucks we found... -
Looking for mule deer mount ideas.
Drew my first ND badlands mule deer tag this year and was lucky enough to take a good one. Big Otis has been dropped off at the taxidermist so now I am looking for ideas on how to have him mounted. I've done the semi-sneak pose with most of the family's mounts but am considering a wall... -
Which quiver?
Just updated my 35 year old Bear with a 2 year old Hoyt Charger and learned a few things: - shooting with fingers is no longer a thing - neither are aluminum arrows - archery is no longer a cheap sport to get into Welcome to the modern times, right? Anyway, I ended up choosing a thumb... -
What did/do you do with your bears?
Recently got back from my first bear hunting trip where I had an absolutely AWESOME time! Met some great folks, caught my first fish on a flyrod, saw some amazing country, listened to the loons, got to check cameras & baits every morning, and on and on and on. To put the icing on the cake I...- Bwana

Daughter's Deer Hunt
So five years ago when my youngest boy added his first buck to the wall in our front room along side of the buck taken two years ago by his older brother my wife said, "Enough." She seemed to think my elk and two whitetail mounts along with the boys' deer was the limit for the front room but... -

Anyone else involved?
Let me start off by saying that I know this isn't directly hunting-related, but in my book anything that gets kids involved in the shooting sports is a good thing. Anyway, just curious if anyone else here is involved with high school trap shooting through the USA Clay Target League? Two years...- Bwana

Meet the newest deer hunter in my family
Well, as of three nights ago the world added one more deer hunter to it's ranks when my 12-year old daughter filled her tag after 12+ hours of sitting in a blind over the course of 4 outings. I'm not sure who was more excited about it, but suffice it to say there was LOTS of smiles, a few hugs... -

The boy does it!
Well, this past weekend was it for the youth deer season here in ND. If the kid didn't fill his tag by Sunday evening, he was going to have to wait until the regular deer season and hunt with all the rest of us. He does't have to worry about that. :) On Friday evening he had a chance after...
