    Nevada Moose Hunt

    In a world where we are seeing declines almost universally in big game hunting opportunity, its really cool to have moose tags available in Nevada for the first time in history this year. I've seen a few over the years and will definitely be playing the lottery. Hope to see a steady increase in...

    If you had a Silver State Deer Tag

    If you were lucky enough to draw a Silver State deer tag, how would you hunt it? I've seen these tags become a curse to so many, ultimately going unfilled or used on an average deer when the hunter has given up. Nevada is a different type of place considering big deer can be anywhere, but there...

    I Wanna Play too.

    Here's a more realistic scenario from my hunting experience. You have a tag where 170" is a realistic top end with an off chance at bigger. On several scouting trips, you haven't seen anything over 170". Its opening morning and you're in the process of hiking to a new glassing spot when you...

    Old Dog New Tricks

    I was digging in the gun safe a few weeks ago and pulled out a gun from the past that had not been shot in at least 15 years, probably more like 18. It is a semi-custom built on a early generation Remington Sendero barreled action chambered in 300 RUM bedded into a McMillan stock with a OPS...

    Hunting Field Photos

    Some might think this belongs in the photography section but I wanted to keep it more about the content and less about the actual photography. I think it's fair to say that most of us participate in these forums to enjoy pictures of others' adventures and to share some of our own. Like mule deer...

    How many bucks?

    My 9 year-old was looking at antlers in the garage today and asked me how many bucks I'd killed in my lifetime. I did my best to recollect and came up with the following: Started hunting in 1989 Killed 60 deer in states including: CA, OR, ID, NV, UT, WY, and CO. I enjoyed thinking back trying...

    Which Rifle for Utah Moose?

    My daughter's Utah bull moose hunt is coming up and she is still trying to decide which rifle to use on the hunt. She has been shooting them all and is plenty proficient with any of them. All would be cool in different ways for different reasons. What do you think? ----SS This lucky girl turned...

    Anybody shooting the old 300 H&H?

    I just picked one up and am having fun with it. What a pleasure to load and shoot! I had to double-check my sizing die because the cases were cycling so smoothly. I'm shooting 175 Barnes LRX in front of RL-25 for an easy load that still leaves the 26"barrel at 2975 fps. With any luck, I'll pick...

    Nevada FCFS

    Ok, I'm going to open a can of worms here. After the first year of the FCFS, there are things that I like and things that I think should be changed for next year. First off, I love the opportunity to get these tags in the hands of sportsmen, even on short notice. That being said, I don't like...

    Field Pics for Solo Hunters

    In response to Idratherbhuntin's post where he only got some rough selfie type field pics of an awesome general buck, I thought I'd post a tip that I learned a few years back for getting good solo field pics. I typically hunt alone and have historically taken horrible pics including lots of...
