Well, I was super excited about getting my first antelope tag here in UT. I've wanted to hunt antelope for years and I finally got this tag. I knew it wasn't a super trophy unit, but I also knew there were some good bucks in the unit. I made it out to the unit in June to do a little scouting and...
I got a pair of campfire trekking poles back when campfire was still around. They've worked really well for me for a few seasons now, but that obviously doesn't help since campfire isn't around. I would be looking at the black diamond if I was in the market right now. Kind of hard to beat.
That's a pretty fantastic deal. I have a savage 110 in 7mm mag that shoots lights out. I also have a 7PRC in a Howa 1500 that I built. It's been my go to for most rifle hunts the last couple of years. Really enjoy it.
About how many days are you in the field hunting each year? I love seeing your pics and posts from your hunts. Seems like you have a lot of time and freedom to be out there! Love it.
Yeah. It got down to -5 that night. I knew it was gonna be cold, so I was pretty prepared with my sleeping situation and clothes. It wasn't too bad, but certainly wasn't the warmest night I've had.
Didn't get a picture, but I pan seared some fresh elk backstrap and then threw it in the smoker for a couple hours. Some of the best I've had in a long time. Rubbed it with salt, pepper, garlic, paprika, thyme, and some all purpose seasoning. Came out incredible.
Yeah. My son and I had that tag about 3 years ago. We didn't see a single elk on public. We did end up getting permission on a ranch and got 1 cow. But, it's my understanding that the ranch that let us on has turned over management and is not longer allowing access. Good luck!
I bought a CVA Wolf 2 this year and I have no complaints so far. Shooting well and the breech plug is easy to remove. I would really look at CVA's if I were you. I had a Traditions before this and took a couple deer with it, but there's really no comparison between the 2. The CVA is way above...
That really sucks. I've used Alps OutdoorZ stuff for a number of years in the past because we had a discount through Boy Scouts. Haven't bought anything in a number of years, but still use a couple mummy bags and one tent from them. We had a pack that my son used that had a broken buckle and...
I threaded my 7 PRC without chopping the barrel and am really wishing I had now. I will likely take it in after hunting season and have it done. Just gets to be too long and unwieldy in the field.
So the author wrote about his journey in 1850 from New York to California. At that time the railroad wasn't complete, so they took a ship down to Panama and switched over there to another ship to sail up to CA. Then he goes into the people he meets and what life was like in 1850 California...
