This podcast really got the idea mill churning. How pervasive are blue grouse in Colorado? I'd like to do a backpack hunt just for them with longbow and handgun. Where does one start planning such a trip?
I am wanting to put a Leupold on my Ruger No.1 (1-A, 7x57) and have been shopping around. I can't spare much right now but found excellent prices on opticsagent.com. However, I have never even heard of this website before. Too good to be true?
I was recently looking at some of the draw odds for the Oklahoma elk hunts that I put in for every year. In 2014, you had a 1:6,701 chance of drawing the single elk permit for the Cookson Hills WMA. Similarly, the odds for the Pushmataha tag were 1:6,411. Quite the moonshot! Apparently, Oklahoma...
Anyone wingshooting pigeons (AKA Rock Dove)? I do my fair share of deer, turkey, and traditional small game hunting but I've found diminishing returns on the limited public land available in eastern Kansas. To remedy this, I'm attempting an outreach campaign to acquire hunting rights for feral...
AAE Competition Stabilizer
$45 shipped CONUS
Condition - Good - Functional with cosmetic wear (some finish worn around edges)
I've used this stabilizer for a few years and have had good luck with it. Since I've got out of ASA competition and do more hunting now I'm going to switch to a shorter...
Please pardon me for being such a total noob---
I've never hunted CO but am interested in taking a cow elk. I figure it would be a good introduction, more accessible, and still very rewarding. I am a meat hunter first and a horn hunter second. My question is this: is elk hunting in eastern...
I don't often shoot far with my rifles while big game hunting. In fact, it has been several years since I have shot a deer at 200 yards or more. But, the mind wanders in the hot summer days and I thought to myself, "Do you really know where to hold?" I've got a Leupold VXR with a CDS dial on one...
This is an excerpt from my blog that I thought y'all would appreciate. I'm recovering from wisdom tooth extraction right now, otherwise I'd be out gathering more of these delicious mushrooms.

The ills of social media are far too numerous to list. We over-share, under-communicate, and...
I'm REALLY wanting to go shoot some jackrabbits out in Western Kansas this year. Anyone know of a decent public land spot? I've considered Wilson Lake (Russell County) but am thinking that Walk In Hunting Areas (WIHA) may actually be the best ticket. I've hit some WIHA around Russell before and...
I picked one of these up a few months back thinking it was going to be the best piece of hunting apparel that I would own. I wore the first one 4x under a fleece jacket whilst turkey hunting before holes wore developed in the area around the zipper. I sent it back to First Lite (great customer...
Greetings all!
I just finished up listening to Randy's podcast on desk scouting and decided to join the forum. I am a hunter-conservationist, insufferable writer, mushroom forager, and amateur wild game cook (your average Okie). I'm currently transplanted in the great State of Kansas. My...
