Finally....First Elk!
My dad, brother and I headed west for the 1st rifle in Colorado. We hunted a mixture of private and public unguided. I was very blessed to take my first elk (opening day at 4:00) but even better was spending time with both of them. Pictures aren't the caliber of several on this site but... -
10 years ago...
It's hard to believe that 10 years have passed since receiving a phone call that changed our lives forever. Our youngest son, Ryan, was almost a year old when he passed away of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). He stopped breathing at day care and nothing could be done to save him. SIDS...- Phantom

Sitka Ascent Pant Sizes
Looking at buying some of these for hiking and Boy Scout activities. Question on the size...do they follow regular jean sizes? I found the sizing chart but that doesn't correlate to jean sizes. That leaves me wondering what size to get. Thanks for any input.- Phantom

Wolf and Lion Kill in Iowa
Took the boys out for a 3D shoot over the weekend and had a blast. It was my youngest's first time out and he just had to take along his toy bow. He loved it so much he practiced shooting in the yard for an hour after arriving back home. The oldest is getting to be a good shot with the... -
Arrow Rest Question
I'm looking through the archery catalogs and been thinking about changing arrow rests. I've been using the original trophy taker for years and have been very happy with how the GTs with blazers shoot. However, when stalking antelope the past few years, it's not the ideal rest when crawling... -
Butchering Deer
Anyone seen this video? Saw on an iowa site. Pretty incredible stuff and amazing all fingers are intact. It must either be the apron or the hook. :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xijmge8_NJw&feature=player_detailpage I need to give those hooks a try. Anyone have experience with which...- Phantom

First WY Lope Hunt
After a few years of playing the point game, my brother and I drew WY lope tags. We arrived in the cowboy state a week after the opener and set up camp. It wasn't long until we starting seeing several lope rutting hard. This hunt is sure a contrast from chasing around Iowa deer. Anyway... -
2009 Colorado Lope
This post is long overdue. After being called out as a lurker by Dink, I figure I should spring into action. After waiting 5 years, a buddy and I finally drew a good CO NR lope tag, the first for both of us. We headed out on September 11th to hunt the last week of the season. Needless to...
