    How do you feel about the Vikes' draft move to get McCarthy? They got a proven winner.

    South Dakota Pheasant hunt

    Extreme drought there, the farther north towards ND you get the worse the drought gets. I would expect to see very few new young birds from current year hatches, likely this season will rely upon older birds on hunts. The drought is rely tough south of Pierre as well.

    South Dakota Pheasant hunt

    I would pay attention to drought conditions this year as severe drought impacts pheasant hatch success in a huge way. I live north of Pierre and have only seen one hatch of hen with chicks to date. Our drought conditions are very severe and I hope the farther east areas are faring better, we are...

    Was 2020 your best hunting year ever?

    There is no doubt 2020 comes in as my best hunting year to date. Because of COVID, I had to quarantine 3 different times without coming down with the 'Rona and I took advantage of that time out of the office big time. We started the year by getting my daughter a gobbler in the black hills in...

    Need Advice- Musky bull elk

    This year I was beyond fortunate to take a bull much better than I have ever deserved. Big and very, very musky during the middle of the rut. That rutty smell was extremely strong while quartering and remained strong when butchering and packaging. Shot placement was right and not gut shot. I got...

    shortest shot on a big game animal?

    Thanks, that Delta hat has been on quite a few good days. It ended up getting a little bloody after I had taken it off while quartering that bull and rolled him over onto the bill. Pretty musky now but carrying memories of an epic solo hunt.

    shortest shot on a big game animal?

    I took my bull elk after bugling him in at 9 yards this past fall, too close to hear a thud from the bullet impact and too close to sight the rifle through the scope. He started running off after I pulled the trigger and I panicked, running up the ridge so that I could clear the timber and...

    How big must a bull or buck be to mount?

    I decided to mount my bull this year from Bennett County/Oglala Sioux Tribe. It really wasn't that tough to decide as he is way bigger than other SD elk that I have lucked out on. I am lucky to be a tribal member where there are big prairie elk herds and tags for members.

    Poll: Do-it-all freezer fillin' rifle

    A Tikka T3 30-06 has never failed me and will likely be what I take with me for any serious hunt I attempt in the lower 48.

    I decided to get him shoulder mounted, now I have to look at houses with taller/more wall space.

    Tikka .308

    I have alot of rifles in my safe, but my Tikka T3 in 30-06 is always my choice to bring in the truck or pack. Accuracy and ease of shouldering are the most important factors for my decision making...it just plain shoots.

    How big must a bull or buck be to mount?

    I recently harvested a pretty good bull, especially in SD. I have not really planned on shoulder mounting an elk or buck in the before. What would your threshold be to decide on mounting a bull or buck?

    Spotter Talk

    The Krotos is not a bad set of glass depending on what your budget currently is, it is the athlon ares scope set in a cabelas printed package. I have one and am willing to run it rough compared to my swaro that stays near the truck.
