    SD Pheasant Hunting

    I've booked a few hunters coming for pheasants recently but still have plenty of good dates available. South Dakota has been getting some good rains this spring so that will be helping the birds out through the summer. Cost is $450 per person for five nights lodging. I always help guys with...

    SD Pheasant Hunting

    It's a Belgian gun made in the 1940's by Antoine Cordy & Sons. It's a side plated box lock with very nice engravings. Cordy was a well respected barrel maker and master gun maker. I understand he made barrels for Browning shotguns along with others. Hunting with nice guns adds to my enjoying...

    Mortgage Advice - Buy Down Rate?

    Go for the 15 year if you plan on staying that long. I paid extra principal payment money every chance I could. I paid my house off 3 years early. Feels great to have NO DEBT!

    Nepal Himalayan Blue Sheep March 2022

    I guided/outfitted hunters in Wyoming for 27 years starting in 1976. I've been on over 80 sheep hunts with most me not pulling the trigger. In 1978 the Weatherby Award was given to Art Carlsburg who died in a fall hunting. I always thought he was hunting Blue sheep so that has been in my mind...

    Nepal Himalayan Blue Sheep March 2022

    They would not be able to get all they need to carry in any modern pack. They carry a 10 gallon propane cylinder, the sheep whole back to camp, etc. You can see how overfull the baskets are. Their system has worked for thousands of years. The women and kids carry pine needles in the baskets for...

    Nepal Himalayan Blue Sheep March 2022

    This is an adventure and experience only a few will have. I'm very fortunate and humble to have been one of them. I knew I had to do this before I got any older. 65 is much different than when I was 45 Thanks for reading and sharing my adventure. CHEERS!

    Nepal Himalayan Blue Sheep March 2022

    These are the mountains we hunted. Nothing is flat. Herders bring their livestock here in the summer to graze. There are huts and stock enclosures all over the mountains. It's a primitive life which has existed for thousands of years. I was amazed at all the houses constructed of stone with...

    Nepal Himalayan Blue Sheep March 2022

    I just finished my Nepal Blue sheep hunt. Quite the adventure. Took SIX DAYS to obtain the rifle permit after arriving in Kathmandu! Our government is bad enough. There are only 18 Blue sheep permits issued in Nepal so not many rifles enter customs. During that time I visited Hindu and Buddhist...

    Sierra Madre Outfitters

    I wouldn't waste any money on a lawyer against Homer Conedo. Nothing any good will come of it. I lost plenty and I bought one sheep hunt through onlinehuntingauctions.com and a couple deer hunts from another booking agency. I'm just licking my wounds and moving on. The Conedo's are dishonest...

    Sierra Madre Outfitters

    I just returned from a nightmare experience with Homer and the Seri Indians (Miguel Estrella). I bought the auction Sheep hunt (same as Justin Shaffer of KUIU) and a couple Mule deer hunts. What a mistake!!! Avoid SMH at all costs for your own good! Both Homer Conedo Sr and Jr are liars and...

    Caliber Recommendation for Mt Goat

    I chose .338WM with 225gr Swift A-Frame in a Rem 700 KS. I'd go that way again.
