    AK Fishing Trip

    Recently returned from an interior Alaska fishing trip with my son in law. We fished the Kuskoskwim and Holitna (spelling probably wrong) rivers and tributaries for six days. Caught; king salmon, pike, sheefish, grayling and arctic char. Can't wait to go again :p

    Pistol Optics?

    Browsing the gun shops I've become interested in one of these little rectangular or square glass sights that mounts approx. where rear sight would be, and has a little illuminated dot you put on the target. They look pretty compact and durable and like you could get them on target real quick...

    Lost a Big Boy This Week

    We've got about 230 acres of pretty prime whitetail habitat at our IN place that we monitor and manage pretty well. Got an unpleasant surprise one morning this week while touring the perimeter. Laying right beside the road at one end was a great big velvet buck with a 50%+ rack developed...

    Most Game Killed with Same Arrow?

    Several years ago when I killed a deer and recovered the arrow in good shape I simply cleaned it up, put a sharp broadhead on it, and put it back in my quiver. I would write on the plastic fletching with a sharpie 2015 IN buck, or something like that. With two sides to every fletch...

    Buckshot Tires

    Just did a trip to southern Alabama deer and hog hunting. Weather conditions were crap, it had been raining quite a bit and rained off and on while we were there. The guy that took us hunting had an old beat up 94 Suburban all stock except it had oversize Buckshot Wide Mudder tires. I was...

    Shooting Schools?

    Everything I've learned about shooting has been read, self taught or learned from buddies. Would be neat to spend a couple days with a pro, getting some real hands on training, and would be a fun off season vacation too. Any recommendations for someplace where a guy might spend a couple days...

    Another Good Trip to Whitetail Camp

    Returned Saturday from a few more days at our Illinois hunting camp. All I had left was a doe tag and wasn't able to connect but one partner arrowed this dandy 14 point buck about 1/4 mile up the drainage from where I had killed my buck a week or so earlier and the other partner killed a nice...

    Who All is Retired and How Do You Do It?

    I'm checking out of the working world at year end, 58 years old. Wondering how many others here have done so, and what are you doing for income other than the usual pensions, social security, etc. What are you doing for health insurance? What challenges or surprises have you had?

    Poked a Hole in a Pretty Good Whitey

    Shot this varmint with my compound Friday morning at first light in Southern, IL. 20 Yard chip shot, but I hit just a little far back, arrow passed thru and was blood soaked, but very little blood in first 50 yards of tracking, so we kept quiet, backed out and came back about 7 hours later...

    First Deer of the Year

    Season opened Oct 1st, arrowed a nice fat whitetail doe on the farm behind house last evening. 60 Yard death run and a quick recovery. My buddy John Deere gave me a hand and she was gutted, skinned, halved, in game bags, and in the cooler 90 minutes after the shot. Always amazed at how...

    What's a Decent Spotter?

    I'd like to have a better spotting scope. All I have now is a cheapo Bushnell and would like to step up to something mid to upper grade. I've got a Leica range finder and Swarovski binos so am familiar with the good stuff, just don't want to spend top end money for a spotter. Primary use will...

    Forum is a Good Resource

    Booking hunts with outfitters in strange places is always a crap shoot. The outfitter always paints a pretty picture of their operation and their hunting, but the only way to get the real scoop is from someone who has hunted with them. Recently booked a couple trips based on some feedback...

    Kansas Whitetail Outfitters

    Would like to go back to Kansas again in the fall of 2017 to hunt whitetails. Looking to hunt late rifle season out of box blinds if possible. Would prefer a full service place that handles lodging, meals, transportation, etc. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
