On the heels of the deer hunt last weekend we got home and put the deer quarters in the fridge. The girls went to stay with their mom and I worked three overnight shifts. Got off at 0630 Thursday morning, took a nap for three hours and then packed the truck back up and picked them up again for...

Well, it’s finally upon us. I feel like every year I get so busy that the thing I love to do most creeps up on me and surprises me and leaves me scrambling to catch up. Spent last week in Montana chasing deer and elk with my bow. Out of shape was the take home message there although the...

Well another very busy year. We did luck into some elk tags and we filled them, our hearts and freezers are full! I don't have the energy for full writeups these days so this will have to suffice. My buddy Casey and I drew archery bull tags in Arizona. Very lucky draw for us. I held out for a...

Pesto pasta with meatballs. Homemade venison Italian sausage, provided by my youngest daughter. Pesto is a mint walnut pesto recipe from Rinella’s cookbook. Dynamite:

Sometimes you make a decision that you know or at least hope will make a great impact on your life sometime in the future. In 2018, while getting drunk in a bar in Lander WY, my brother and I bought preference points in Montana with our hunting buddies (they were at their homes, NOT getting...

It's been a tough year for us, emotionally. A lot of big changes that hurt. But my kids FINALY drew some big game tags in AZ. Been looking forward to these hunts since they were born. I've tried to teach my kids about why hunting is good and wholesome and worthy of their time. We love to cook...

Ok guys I just picked up a lightly used Ruger Blackhawk and am having a minor issue with the trigger return mechanism. After firing the trigger doesn’t return until I lightly lift the hammer or mess with the loading gate. Like maybe the hammer is pinching the transfer bar a bit and as soon as...

Wanted one of these for a long time. I know they made another run awhile back and saw them on gunbroker and thought here’s my chance and decided my money would better be spent elsewhere. Never seen one in the wild. Well until yesterday, I snagged this one, apparently sat on the shelf too long...

Story time, week or so late. One of the east coast boys drew an AZ rifle bull tag this year which means I got to go elk hunting. Thanksgiving day 2020, whilst the average schmuck was stuffing his fat face with turkey in front of his mother-in-law, we were setting up elk camp. The rabble...

Well I went a drew a very good deer tag in AZ this year. I drew it two years ago with my brother and we killed good bucks and guided a friend last year and killed a good buck. After 2 consecutive years of hunting I had a good lay of the land and some experience on where and when to find them, I...

I had the last 3 days all planned out to hang out with my daughters and scout for deer and have a daddy-daughter campout for a couple nights but we had a super cool surprise come up. The day before we were set to leave a good friend of mine asked what I had going on. His 10yo daughter had drawn...

I finally let my thirst for new hunting adventures get the better of me this year and started applying in other states. My little brother and I both miraculously drew antelope tags in Wyoming this year on a whim. The plan was to draw doe tags and of course we applied for buck as a Hail Mary. As...

Long story short, I really want a revolver in 44 special. I’d be happy with a Blackhawk or Lipseys but they seem hard to find. I’ve also been wanting a fancy Smith and Wesson (in 44spl or 41 mag). So... From this description, what kind of deal is this: “S&W Model 24-3 44 special Product code...

Another Sinterfire thread. Very slim data on an interesting bullet and is available at a very good price at a large and popular retailer so I thought it deserves some more discussion. Thought about piggybacking on @markr6754 but figured he may want to keep that as that. Appreciate his work with...

Gonna have to do this one in installments I think. It's gonna be long-winded so fast forward to pics if you get bored. Lotta bulls hit the dirt this week despite family obligations and lousy weather doing its best to keep us from success. We originally had 5 tags in camp but my good buddy Ben...

Hunters: Recently we've had discussions in another thread about wounded animals, adrenaline, and quality of meat. This can be a polarizing topic depending on the circumstances. Here are some thoughts I have on the matter. I feel somewhat strongly on the issue for a specific reason: when I was a...

I love it when the air gets brisk and the frosts start to come to the AZ high country because that means hunting season is here and my long wait is over. In Arizona, if you are lucky, you have drawn a tag. If you are even luckier, you have a great group of hunting partners to share it all with...

Buddy of mine shot a great AZ buck this year and made a good video too. This guy puts a LOT of time in looking for animals. He's got an archery bull tag coming up too, hope he gets that one on film.

I like to spend my free time looking for large lots of reloading or shooting equipment that someone is getting rid of and buying it all. I keep what I want or need, and sell the rest, and this is a lot of work but also works out for me. However there's always something I'm on the fence about...
