It’s hard to believe the mules are out on winter pasture, the tents are drying, the season is over, and a huge bull is sitting in my yard laughing at me. What can you say? He’ll be bigger next year, and we had a hell of a season! Archery and Rifle Bear Season Archery elk...

One of the highlights of any wilderness hunting trip is packing in on our four legged friends, horses and mules.

Physical Preparation for High-Altitude Wilderness Elk Hunts – Endurance and Strength

Physical preparation for that challenge is the most important of all...

Do you really care if you can tell the difference between a 190″ and a 215″ deer? Me neither. In those situations, I just shoot it! It is more useful when hunting public land to know how to judge a 2-3 year old deer from a 4+ year old mature deer. This is usually the...
