    A public THANK YOU to Bullshot

    I want to give thanks and appreciation to Bullshot for his unsolicited offer of information regarding dusky grouse hunting in Colorado. The locations he provided have held the most grouse I've found on this trip. My last day to hunt will be tomorrow and I intend to hit the best locations hard...

    Wondering about Taxidermist past Date

    This may be a lesson learned the hard way by me. I dropped off my first antelope head at the taxidermist in Wyoming last Oct 4th/5th for a European mount, no plaque and was told to expect it to be done 8 to 10 months. Seemed fine by me. I haven't contacted them since because it was within the...

    Win .243 Ammo Suggestions Please

    It seems the rounds that I used have been discontinued by manufacturer, Winchester Power Max Bonded 100gr. My rifle seemed to like them and I liked how it performed on my antelope hunt. I'm not a reloader and have no desire to. I'd like to hear what you all would recommend that would perform...

    Rossi customer service

    I learned this morning after calling Rossi at their Georgia location listed on their website that they no longer process orders for accessories over the phone and that they ONLY offer standard shipping. I recently purchased a Rossi Tuffy Turkey 410 through Cabela's. Went to the store to pick...

    New Llewellin!

    Drove down to Virginia & picked my newest bird dog puppy. Let me introduce Highball's Train Station "Rip"! He's from Blue Mt Llewellins. Yes, I'm an unapologetic fan of the show so many profess to hate😉

    Which Bear Spray Please

    This September I'll be going to Colorado on my first dusky grouse hunt. A non-hunting friend will be going along because he wants to see the sights. He's going to attempt to be useful by sharing fuel cost, taking pictures and annoyingly pointing out ever "cool" thing we pass. I'll be carrying...

    CZ Redhead Premier 20ga, Good customer service👍

    I won this shotgun at a RGS banquet 7.5 years ago. It was apparent as soon as I started using it that it fit me much better than my previous shotguns, and my hit percentage on birds was proof of that. Through the years on rare occasions the gun would double fire, both barrels at the same time...

    Day trips/good steak near Douglas, Wy?

    My antelope hunt ended with success on Tuesday, helped my friend with his hunt (successful) yesterday. Took a long day trip today to see Devil's Tower, then over to Mt. Rushmore thru Deadwood, and by Crazy Horse before returning to camp. I'll be breaking camp Sunday & staying in town to pick up...

    Places Tourists Shouldn't Miss Glasgow, MT?

    I'm bringing a couple of friends to Ft. Peck Reservoir in February for a week of pike spearing. What are a places we shouldn't miss?

    My Dusky Dreaming Can Begin😀

    Now that my party has drawn for antelope this fall, I can officially start planning for my first upland bird hunt out west for me & my dogs. My heart is in the forest chasing ruffed grouse so I'm naturally drawn to going after dusky grouse. The only decision that is concrete is that I'll be...

    Woodcock Banding 🙂

    My main spring activity from mid April through the end of May is taking my pointing dogs to the woodcock covers in search of hens & their chicks as a volunteer bander in Michigan. This morning my youngest pup Trace finally found his first brood! To all who hunt woodcock, be sure to check any...

    Cabela's Trans Alaska Boots

    I'm seeking information from people who have worn these boots, specifically are they actually waterproof as advertised. I need waterproof boots for ice fishing. A year or so ago I purchased a pair of Baffin Snow Monsters that were (supposedly) waterproof. They aren't. If you don't get into any...

    New from Michigan

    I've been to Montana just once. A failed pike spearing trip to Tiber in February a couple of years back, holed up riding out a blizzard. A spearing friend lives in western MT and has finally talked me into getting points for an antelope hunt. Some friends and I should be able to get drawn for...
