Recently relocated from Billings to Spokane WA for work . I am looking to establish connections to local gunsmiths, taxidermists and general information about the area e.g. places to shoot (rifle and archery), watering hole and eats.
Any recommendations?
I spent the past four and half days hunting in Southern Arizona for Coues deer. Hunted some beautiful country and ended up taking a respectable buck. We covered a lot of ground trying to find the bachelor herds and was finally fortunate on the last full day of the hunt to locate a group of...
We had a great week of hunting antelope last week in Wyoming. My kids got their first antelope. Also, had 3 of my brothers and a good friend join us. We ended up all tagging out on a four day hunt. For two of my brothers this was their first big game animal. Everyone had an absolute blast...
My son got his first deer, a four point buck today! After several missed opportunities beginning with antelope, things finally worked out and he made a terrific shot on this buck.
He definitely earned this buck! He put lots of miles on his boots and fought the horizontal snow all day...
I am going to do a euro mount for my Wyoming Antelope. This is my first attempt at doing a euro and so far the skull looks great. My question is in regards to the horn sheaths. I have washed them out in hot water and dawn and then packed them with borax and have let them sit for the past 5...
This past weekend, I spent a couple of days down in Wyoming hunting antelope in a leftover tag unit. Had very limited public land access and ended up sharing a mile square area with 6 other hunters. It got a little crazy a few times, so I stayed in the furthest corner and walked the fence line...
I went out turkey hunting this weekend with my son and was able to tag this turkey. They were still pretty vocal, but could not get any to come any closer than a hundred yards (probably more me than anything, since I am still learning this turkey thing). This bird hung up too and then started...
I know I am putting myself out here and might catch some flak...but I honestly know nothing about turkey hunting. I called this bird in Saturday afternoon, I had my sons with me and this was their first hunt. I told them not to shoot this bird, because I was not absolutely sure it was a jake...
Saw this documentary recently and really liked it. A cameraman and a writer follow a platoon in Afganistan on a 15 month tour of duty in the Korengal Valley. Very gritty, raw and powerful. If you like war movies, you might like this. I also liked that the documentary was politically neutral...
Got this antelope yesterday afternoon. After passing on a few smaller bucks, I was able to take this buck on a block of blm land. He is kind of funky looking above the prongs.
This was my first time to hunt Wyoming antelope, what a blast. Had many opportunities and some failures on much better bucks, but in the end I am happy with the buck I got. Spent most of the first morning trying to close the distance on a very nice buck. Unfortunatley he nor his girlfriends...
I was hunting in the breaks this past week and the gnats were making a meal of me. Thermacell did not work, worked great on the skeeters, but not the gnats. I had 3 other types of deet based products and none of these worked. Had a facenet and that kept them at bay, but I ended up with bites...
Can anyone recommend a good gunsmith in Billings? There are several in the phone book, but I have no idea if they are reputable or of the quality of their work. Thanks
I was driving through Bozeman a couple of weeks ago and picked up a radio station on 91.9 KGLT. Very interesting station. Not like any I have heard before. A little bit of everything. I liked it so much, I have it streaming on my computer now, it sure beats Billings radio. Right now they...
This is my first turkey, got him this morning. I may be hooked now, it was pretty cool. Had a lot of action all morning and then got lucky and got this one.
I have some general questions regarding antelope unit 32, but would prefer to ask them privately. If anyone knows this unit and would not mind answering some questions, please PM me. I am not looking for anyones hunting area, just general information. I already have a pretty good idea on where...
