Just wondering the conditions we carry in when we're in the field hunting big game. Feel free to share the why's and why-not's. 1. One in the chamber and the safety on? 2. One in the chamber and the safety off? 3. Cartridges in the magazine, but nothing in the chamber? 4. Cartridges in my...

I am looking to use a taxidermist close to me and considering Evans Taxidermy in West Valley. Anyone used Chad before? Got pictures and reviews? If not, is there someone you'd recommend in the Salt Lake Valley for an elk shoulder mount?

I posed this question on another wildlife forum and got very little in reply. Here's my question: I need some advice regarding the incompatibility of my backpack and rifle sling. When I'm hiking around the hills with my backpack on and have my rifle slung over the shoulder, the rifle sling...

I opened the lid of my Cup-O-Noodles for lunch just now and it smells like the sulphury, burnt smell of a freshly shot cartridge. MMMMMM.....love that smell. I think it's been too long since I shot my guns. Gotta get out more!

I posted this on the DWR forums as well, but thought I'd bring it over here as well. I went to Cabela's yesterday with all my birthday cash and spent my wad in anticipation of this year's rifle elk hunt. I was prepared to spend at least $150, JUST on boots, more if absolutely necessary. I...

I have been seraching for a guided hunt in the lower 48 (Idaho, Montana) that will allow me to take a grizzly and a moose together in some sort of package deal. Is Alaska the only place where I can hunt grizzly/brown bear? Is it the only place where I can find a brown bear/moose combo hunt? As...

Here's the pic: Area we hunted: West Mountain between Fillmore and Richfield, Utah, near the Devil's Armchair. And the story: The first day we found ourselves in what we called 'The Booby Hole', because only a booby would have dragged a buck out of that place. It was steep and nasty. But we'd...

I am right in the middle of training for the elk hunt in October. This morning I ran 1.5 miles with my hunting boots and an 8-pound pack on. By the time the elk hunt comes around I should be up to around a 25-pound pack and running 2.5 miles. Anyhoo, I digress. I drink a fair amount of...

I just purchased a White Buffalo brand backpack at the Huntin' Show 2 weeks ago. I tried on packs from several outfits at the show and, for the price, the White Buffalo were BY FAR the best bargain. Just wondering if anyone else has one of these. Do you like it? Do you use it for hunting?

Are there such optics that serve as both rangefinders and binoculars at the same time? What are the cheapest models available? I am new to optics. Sorry if this has been covered before. Perhaps I should just head down to Sportsman's Warehouse and get an optics lesson. Thanks!
