    Ridgeback Customs Sling Review

    I've just finished testing a sling by Ridgeback Customs. This sling is made from Water Buffalo leather and has proven to be quite nice for my needs. My primary rifle sling for hunting has been a Turner Saddlery Synthetic High Power sling because I haven't found a sling that gives me a balance of...

    Fortymile Caribou

    On Saturday, I shot my second caribou and largest to date. After an unsuccessful day of hunting Friday, I planned to hunt a saddle about a mile from camp on Saturday morning. I hiked in to avoid spooking anything with a quad. I looked up about 45 minutes into my sit and saw a caribou standing in...

    Fortymile Caribou Success

    This is my wife's first year hunting and our first time hunting Alaska. Zone 1 and 4 of the Fortymile Caribou hunt closed a few weeks ago while zones 2 (roadless) and 3 (4.5 hour drive to trailhead) remained open. Reports of success were coming from the Chicken Ridge Trail in Zone 3 so we got up...

    Wife's New Stick

    My wife decided she has wanted to go hunting with me (Awesome), so I started looking for a rifle. She's 4'11" so that cut the options down real quick. I want her first experience to be good and a quality rifle is part of that. I've always heard great things about Tikka. I handled one in the shop...

    North to Alaska

    Uncle Sam has notified me that Fairbanks will be my next duty assignment and I couldn't be more pumped. I've already been scouring the regs but have more to do. Hopefully the wife and I will be able to get a caribou and/or moose down this year.

    For all you guys and gals that live in or have hunted in Alaska, if you had to pick a rifle for Moose and Caribou, what would you pick.

    RMNP Elk

    My wife and I drove through the Rocky Mountain National Park a few weekends ago and the elk were certainly out. This one is probably my favorite of the ones I took. He looks like he will be a 6x6 and I would love for him to get out and tour the unit I plan on hunting. This one can come with...

    My thoughts on the Yellowstone Attacks

    I'm sure you have all seen the news of the three attacks in Yellowstone NP this week.. What really grinds my gears is that the general public treats these wild animals as if they are livestock on a farm. I'm a company commander in the Army and during my safety brief I try to stay away from the...

    Got my OTC Tag: CO

    Hey guys, I just bought my OTC tag Archery tag this morning. Due to training requirements, I'll likely only be able to hunt for 4 days once and have 2 days of scouting before the season opens. I will try to get as many weekends in the mountains as I can but I will for sure have less than 10...
