American Prairie Reserve - Nothing new
Recent acquisitions by APR have prompted me to do a little research into what is going on. I believe that it is the right thing to do, to share this information so that people can make up their own minds and not be “hood winked” by those who stand to gain and profit from these “land grabs”.

A Gila Elk Hunt
This was not just a do-it-yourself hunt on public land, but a do-it-by-yourself hunt as well. Scouting is a big part of my hunts so this adventure started with scouting. I live close to the Gila units and as long as I can talk the wife into doing the ranch chores, I can scout at my leisure. The... -

Bergara B14 HMR
I have been thinking about getting one in 300 WM. I am rather concerned about the quality of the action. There was an issue with the firing pin being too small in diameter for the bolt hole, causing cratering of the primer. It has been a common practice from what I have been able understand, to... -

Bull Elk behavior
I was going to put a camera over a wallow but cattle were in there. I found a rub about 150 yards from the wallow. The rub was fresh. The tracks below the rub looked to be no more than a day old. Should I hang a camera over the rub? I have done that with deer and it works well. I don 't want to... -

SIG BDX system question
I wanted a range finder with an inclinometer. My old luepold is still working fine out to 400 yards though. Thought I would look for some good modern features without breaking the bank. Anyway, I ended up with a Sig Sauer KILO1800. I bought an open box for like half the price even though the box... -
