Today I was working on a new sheath for a knife I built. I will show what I have done with it. I wetted it down and formed it to the knife. I will finish it tomorrow I hope. After I got that done I started to work on a project that has been on my mind for a while. I wanted something that...

Lewis sent me some 416 gr paper patch bullets to try in my New Rifle here is a picture if you don't remember. I had a hardness of .060 on my dial, that is about 9.2 BHN that's kind of a guess. It was between 9 and 9.5 BHN. I filed off the nose to get a wider spot to test the hardness...

I drew my first ML bull tag this year. I'm just not the lucky kind I guess it took about 20 years to get it. Well I went on opening day Oct 1st. I fell and I was sure that I was not going to be finishing the season again all the luck of a run over snake. But my son Jacob got me out. We went...

Last week my son Jacob and I went on our yearly ML hunt. I got into camp a couple days before Jacob did. I saw a lot of deer this year but very few bucks. The night before Jacob got there I saw a real nice 4 point. The next morning we were on a ridge and Jacob hisses at me. I look up to see the...

I am just curious? It seems like everyone is putting in for tags that they have no idea about in state and out of state. Then they come on here and ask for a hand out.This isn't happening with just hunting also with fishing. People asking for exact locations. The ones I have to laugh at the...

I went out to shoot my CZ455 varmint. After I got done I decided to spin by the farm to see if an early rock chuck was out. There is a old cement slab that I figured would get warm faster than the rock piles. So I headed over there. I saw his head sticking out from under the cement. I ranged it...

Last year I had a farm that only allowed Air guns because the farm was close to houses and town. Well this year I was out shooting and another farmer stopped and talked. One thing leads to another and I have 7 farms I am now shooting Rock Chucks on. None of them would allow a 22LR or a...

LAST EDITED ON Dec-17-17 AT 08:36PM (MST)[p]Some after the season air rifle hunting.

I spent 10 days in the mountains on my hunt this year. I did enjoy every minute of it even the rough stuff. The first 5 days I had a friend of mine with me on his first deer hunt. Last winter in Southern Idaho was tough on all of us, but it was especially hard on mule deer. I saw substantially...

I did a video this weekend, I was shooting the Hot Rod Hawken. The test was how many times could I shoot the Hawken before the accuracy fell off, or it hang fired and I missed. https://youtu.be/su-1Ql-Nhtk

I had to wage war on Skunks I got one to help me kill skunks. I am over run with skunks. Every year my dogs kill 15 to 20 skunks in my yard. I had enough, it was time to take the fight to them. I got a new air rifle this year. I have a scope with a lighted retical and the LTO to look for them...

I have always had a bunch of squirrels and rock chucks. Well this year I had a rock chuck get under my shed. And my Shorthair decided to dig him out. After moving about 400 tons of dirt and gravel I caught her at it. So I bought me a Benjamin Trail NP2 air rifle 22 cal. This thing is a great...

I got news that my buck won second place for the Muzzleloader contest. They score them Safari Club.

I don't know if this guy is on here but if you watch his videos they make a fine case for outlawing this kind of shooting. This is his 2014 hunt. In their 2015 hunt they lose a buck due to shooting long range. These videos will piss you off. 2014 https://youtu.be/N3VQ08iym6Y 2015...
