    Tonight is the night of nights...

    Every invasion had a "DDay & HHour" for the Allies back in WW2, and yes most are forgotten except for those who participated or lost someone in them. I think the Normandy Invasion is most noted as it was the beginning of the end for Germany and the largest Invasion in history. Other large...

    Wiping blood on the face of a new hunter

    Friends I have in Normandy France do this after a Roe deer kill there. A small wipe of blood on each cheek of a first time hunter, and then place a green leafy branch or plant in the mouth of the animal. It is done as a sign of respect. Traditions like that which have gone on for centuries in...

    Gear Aid

    So a few weeks back Bob Wards Sporting Goods started a big sale on winter gear, and the bulk of the other store inventory. I found a lone McNett Tactical Field Fix Kit with the hunting packs. The kit pouch was supposed to contain tape, cordage, a sewing kit, tenacious tape, and assorted buckles...

    Montana family vacation

    I will echo what the others have mentioned about Phillipsburg, cool little place, and panning for sapphires either in town or at the nearby mine always results in a zip lock bag of gems for each kid. And the Hiawatha trail over in the Idaho panhandle is worth your time. A short drive north of...

    Come on Montana! WTH?

    Yes, possibly a Dairy Queen, a Conoco Town Pump gas station/Lucky Lils Casino, and Murdochs mercantile. Not sure we could recover from the loss of a DQ to a ChiCom satellite in the Treasure State.

    "Old Rifles"

    I still occasionally use my Savage 99 (.308). It shoots a very tight group with modern ammunition, and it is nice to knock something down with an old school rifle that was made before I was born.

    Polartec vs regular fleece

    I bring the PCU fleece from Beyond Clothing on my hunts. They make one fleece that is a bomb proof wind blocker that works great in wind swept open areas, and a second that is more of a furry hi-pile material that is my go to for hunting the woods and glassing clearings in the snow. If you...

    Gun related baby names for both girls and boys

    I met a guy years back who names his GSP pup "Ammo". I thought it was a cleaver and interesting name considering how it would sound when calling the dog in the field, like you needed a resupply or something "Ammo...Ammo!".

    Parachute hunting?

    Just jump an MC1-1C in and use a Fulton Recovery system to yank you, your gear, and your BOAL out. That way you and your BOAL can sit side by side as a C-130 reels you in and flies you off into the Rokslide Hall of Fame.

    What to do in Palm Springs

    The Aerial Tram is worth the ride from the valley floor to over 8k feet up into the mountains (bring a sweatshirt), and the Air Museum in Palm Springs is worth your time as well...
