Selling my 15x60 Zeiss binos that are in darn near excellent condition. Lenses are perfect though in the photos they have some weird reflections. $750 . I bought them brand new in Feb 1992, they come with a full lifetime warranty and I will ship that card and the service record from Zeiss with...

I’ve guided and been hunting with a bow for almost 4 decades, killed hundreds of critters with a bow inc about 30 elk and seen another 40 plus elk and hundreds more critters die to someone elses arrow. I can tell you exactly what works; All of them. Its true, they all work. Its a testament to...

Common sense doesn’t make you famous….crazy BS does..like EFOC, Massive arrow weight and Single bevels. Preaching good shooting form and tuning for perfect arrow flight won’t make you famous…but it should. For the last 2 1/2 years I was hunting with a 47# recurve, 553g arrow. 10 of 12...

Shoot 3d animals at long range- one shot for all the marbles- and you will quickly know what your effective range is…then deduct another 10-20yds- grin. Every shot scenario is different. There have been 25y shots I’ve passed and then 70y elk I’ve killed…it just depends. .

Widowmakers. My buddies always give me grief for surveying the standing dead timber at potential camping spots…until a few years ago. We were packed into Wyoming and had 7 trees come down close to camp in a storm. Tent was fine, but…. One caught our high line and pinned a horse tight and...

Many guys are complaining about the durability of single bevels….(thread on Rokslide now) no surprise, its a less supported edge.…thus the reason most knives have evolved as dbl bevel. Ive seen evidence SB’s don’t penetrate as well as dbl bevel heads.…and many have done testing that double...

A 2 blade BH turns a light setup into a penetrating monster.

Ashby is one of the original archery influencers. Some of his stuff on BH efficiency [mechanical advantage] was good...but his singe bevel and High FOC stuff is total snake oil. He proved his EFOC theory using weighted soda straws and a rubber band sling shot- I chit you not, its still on...

A couple of my ILF setups; 17' Morrison 1st get riser with skinned WNS C5 longs, bottom is a 19"Dryad riser, skinned W&W Inno's. I bought the dried skins on EBay. I'm currently hunting with a Stalker Stickbow ILF Riser that has the G10 I beam [awesome] and Uukha Selengha limbs.[Below] I can't...

I can't say I'm strictly a stick bow guy....but for the last dozen years or so I think I have 50 shots through a compound....I try to shoot my recurve 5x a week to stay sharp. I got tired of the 'Automatic' with a compound, Stickbows have brought back the fun of archery for me. Hunting...

Yep, Ap article on the study. You would think it would be a big deal but they buried it about eight stories down in their climate section. John Kerry will be wringing his hands and have to pour another martini on his private jet while his and Gores Carbon credits lose money. Yep the science...

Ive seen a bunch of kills with them. Full disclosure Dale is a buddy and I’ve hunted with him. I shoot a recurve so I stick to a two blade but a lot of my buddies shoot those heads. FWIW, i’ve shot Mech heads in the past….now I’m not a fan. If I was to shoot a mechanical broadhead it would be...

Yep, when folks finally understand the reality, they will be pissed. Biden policy drove up Putins profits so he could afford to invade Ukraine…then Putin knew the invasion was good for another $30-$40 a barrel pure profit. Are there still folks that believe Biden when he blames OFF THE CHART...

Ive heard elk screaming in there on Aug25th And the elk hunting was on.

Has anyone checked out that Calf canyon fire? As of now, 237,000 acres, 33% contained

Well heck, its an oldie in my younger days hunting with dogs- scanned from an Instamatic photo no less...back when I didn't have the $$ to buy a decent pack. I finally figured it out that a pack was cheaper than the blood rotting out the stitching on a bunch of pairs of jeans and wrecking the...

BTW, the bear thing is overdone on Kodiak. They have a healthy respect for humans. I did jump one while crossing a canyon in those thick alders- dang thing was a VW bug with fur- a giant. He bugged out. We had one in camp one night...and we had one on a kill from 2 hours before. Of the 25 or...

I've used that Larson Bay lodge- they are alright. Not fully guided, they will drop you off and pick you up...or you can hunt right out of the lodge. Cheap- $2400 or so. Mostly I just hire a pilot to drop us off....I've done 4 of those and prefer it. The only bad hunt I've had on Kodiak was...

Jokes aside, I used to be a terrible pistol shot. I started dry firing, and running thousands of rounds through my pistols....now-what do you know- I'm a decent pistol shot. Grin. Practice, practice and more practice. Then throw in a couple CQB classes. A vid worth checking out is this Rob...

I resemble that big guy comment- 6'4" 240. I've been on plenty of horseback hunts on buddies stock. My one CO buddy has mules and those things just go and go- no problem with a fairly big dude like me. Other horses, I have to watch them, as long as they are in shape, no problem.. My Montana...

I've got guide buddies in Alaska....guide hunters in the fall, Fly fishermen in the spring and summer....I think they are rich though monetarily they don't have a lot. My guide buddy in Co/ Az lives in a trailer for most of the year....he spends 300 days a year in the woods; scouting, fishing...

We owned a hybrid Toyota Highlander for 9 years….battery was fine When we sold it. My wifes lexus has a 10 yr guarantee on the hybrid battery. An EV makes sense for a lot of folks that just go to and from work and they can charge from their own solar system on their roof, long payout though...

Yeah, my bad…Ive been through there more than a few times and dont remember seeing Vernon. Love the pie at the cafe in Alpine though….

OMG, I have a ton of horror stories dealing with PGE [the west coast power company] on projects.....they are terrible.

I think some of the smart Dems are seeing that they were sold a load of hooey- and that gives me hope.

Sounds like you are a lucky man with that wife of yours.....

Oh, I don't own an EV....I'm not going to wait in line at a charging station. I have a 3/4 ton Ram Cummins and a Ram 1500 gas with the air suspension. Just saying the EV's are fast.

Great idea.....I love that Gov Abbot did this. Biden said, "They will pay"....but the Border agents were recently found not guilty of Whipping illegals- all made up by liberal media. Too many liberalDems put their head in the sand....maybe now they will realize the Biden policy is crap.

Nice to know there are good folks in the world. It sounds like you are getting up there in age...and have some health problems that are keeping you from getting some of those chores done. Sorry to hear. I can tell you this...my life would be hell if my wife had to drag the wash to a laundromat...

Its funny how the liberal Democrats are making excuses for their Crappy policy by insinuating, "Its global, there is nothing we could have done" Ugh, sure there was. We didn't have any of this crud during the Trump admin....he thought strategically..and in advance. He proposed buying oil to...

Newsome is an idiot. Its worth remembering....this is the same guy that destroyed SF with folks pooping in the streets...and is wrecking CA with his Policy. He panders to environmentalists...and they won't cut or log any trees in CA....thus, the massive billion dollar fires we have been having...

My favorite car...is a truck. You want fast, check the vid of the drag race between the Raptor, the 700hp Ram...and the Rivian.... Spoiler alert...the Rivian smokes them....in fact the Rivian smokes a Ferrari.

They mothballed a wind farm in Hawaii in one of the windiest places on ear… If it didnt work there then WTF. When will these green idiots start learning from their mistakes? Long report on it by one of those think tanks…..maybe someone should read it….

Oh man…thats funny. They will never get the stink out of that car…..

Renting horses is probably your best bet. Only 2 outfitters in there that I know of and the one Sammy Frazier either sold or quit A few yrs ago. The other one has a camp in the Weiminche where the Utes come together… I just can’t remember his name, sorry.

??Wrong state? I helped a guy in 27 late just south of you and it was a tough hunt. , similar country. At least in 1 you can get up high and glass- which is what I would do.

‘The Bowsite’ has an outfitter page where they rate these hunts…i would start there.

The problem with guiding is you can’t always pick your clients.I sometimes help guide clients for a buddy that is good about interviewing his clients. I dumped my hog hunting guide biz in CA 30 yrs ago when a client almost shot my partner in the head- it just wasn’t worth it. You did good with...

Get yourself the motor vehicle use map at the local FS- its free- or at least it used to be. That should show what you need.
