    New Mexico Vacation Ideas

    We stayed in Taos during my sons Antelope hunt in August and Loved it. The gorge is awesome, lots of Bighorns to look at and photo. My wife and youngest son took a Hot air balloon ride over the gorge and white water rafted while we hunted. Plenty to do and would love to go back. Kit Carson's...

    New Mexico

    My son had a youth muzzleloader tag there in 2019. It was a great hunt, but even the youth season pressure made the goats close to the roads a little crazy. There are benches up the mountain you really can't see from the road that had some bucks that we found, the Wilderness study area also is...

    How to assess a hunting dog breeder?

    The Sundance dogs that I have seen have all been really consistent... good nose, drive, pointing. I have only gunned over them at NAVHDA tests not wild birds, but they usually cleared the field finding birds left over from other dogs. I am not a GSP fan ( because there are sooo many) but it was...

    How to assess a hunting dog breeder?

    I have Drahthaars, have breed them and Judged briefly in the German testing system. I believe wild bird “prowess” is more of a product of exposure then breeding. Nose and pointing are a product of breeding. If you take a pup at an early age with good nose and pointing and hunt preserve birds the...

    Topsail NC Fishing

    A charter out of Morehead City or Atlantic Beach is a lot shorter ride to the Gulf Stream; larger charter fleet as well. It will take you an hour by car from Topsail to Morehead but you will fish longer. The Wahoo should be chewing there will be some Dolphin (Mahi) also.

    German Wirehaired Puppy - Biting A$$Hole

    Hello, I have trained, judged and bred Drahthaars so am familiar with the breed. Sounds like he is bored and testing his limits. You are replacing his mother and if he were still in the kennel with her and got a little too nippy, she would set him straight quickly and decisively. I would not...

    Sawtooth 45 or the Pop up 28

    I have the sawtooth and my son has the popup. The popup fits really good on his back and is a great comfortable day pack. However, the bag is really small and gear is limited. There is no real good way to strap a gun or bow to it either. I love my sawtooth but it is a lot bulkier than the popup.

    Flying with my backpack

    Just made our New Mexico trip. Flew with my MR Sawtooth and my sons popup. I bought a large duffle from Amazon (Amazon Basics) and put both semi loaded packs in it and checked it. Weighed about 50 lbs. Worked great, no problems !

    NM unit 50/52 Archery

    Well, that is some good information to know going into it. I guess if we will just have to plan on adjusting when hordes get out. Better to know now and expect it.

    We are looking forward to it. Going out two days early to do some scouting. Junior has been practicing out to 150yds but hope to get one under a hundred. I will report back on our adventure hopefully with some good pics.

    Recomendations around Longmont, Colorado

    Our family has spent a week in July in RMNP the past few years. We mostly enjoy fishing the high mountain lakes. For an Alpine hike above the treeline Flat Top Mountain was fun for us. The place can be insanely busy and gets frustrating. The trail leaving Alberta Falls reminded me of Disney...
