    Having a Lifesize Mountain Goat Cleaned

    Long story short , I killed a 48” goat and had a life size done on it. It’s been in my home ever since and I’m a clean freak. It’s been about 20 years and I want to have it professionally cleaned. The guy who mounted it for me has passed away so that’s not an option. Have any of you guys had one...

    Why not the .358 Winchester for Iowa Whitetails?

    I personnally have a hard time accurately judging the true size of an animal beyond 200-250 yds. I mean pick it apart type field judging. I kill most of mine at under a 100 95% of the time. There is not a deer on the planet that will not succomb to a well placed .358 win pill at those ranges...

    Ideas to bring home a moose....

    If it was me I’d have it cut and wrapped in Canada but it’s not me. You may want to check the regs for NY below seeing as you have to go through there to get to PA. If you want to DIY I would debone in CA at a minimum personally. I’d hate to see you loose a hard earned trophy. Good luck and post...

    What to do with old taxidermy (Clearing out house)

    Check with you local museum and See if they are interested in starting an environmental history display if you can’t sell them. Finished taxidermy shouldn’t be a problem selling though. The glitches lie if it is unfinished with most states. The does not seem to be the case here. Heck there’s a...

    speed or weight?

    Have been shooting the 120 and 140 Barnes TTSX and TSX in my 7-08 for more than 2 decades. Mountain goats, Caribou, Mule deer, and giant Canadian whitetail. No need to go any heavier. Varget is your friend here.

    Rich Man's Sport

    I am disappointed in what has become the commercialization of our sport. It is not helping any of us or the game. Our sport has become a for profit business. The dynamics and outlook of the hunters I grew up and hunted with as a younger man are near extinction. Etiquette and respect of others is...

    Parararp opinions

    I have a paratipi and have used it quite a bit. For goats and sheep in August a tarp is not a bad option I have done that as well when weight is of the utmost concern. After mid September I'm taking the paratipi when going solo.

    Tents and Tundra

    Kevin Dill nailed it . The Kifaru SST pins have worked great. Have been using floorles tipi's in everywhere for 2 decades with no problems. Get something you can stand or at least sit upright in for weather days. You definitely could make the pins yourself with a trip to HD or Lowes.

    PA Great American Outdoor Show - Feb 4-12

    Five buddies from my deer camp and I will be there for the second weekend. It’s been an annual thing for 20 years. For those that haven’t been in a while , since the NRA took it over the county fair feel is a lot less prevalent. I guess you could say it’s more commercial fancy cowboy ish. LOL 😂...

    Lightweight Rifles

    Just my opinion on a hunting rig. 32 years ago on my first elk hunt in the Selway Bitteroot I toted a 9+ lb 7 rem mag. That one experience was enough for me to decide that I did not want to repeat it again. I went home from that trip planning two builds. One to be used for apline back pack trips...

    Zero range for inline muzzleloader

    Bite the bullet on the bh209 for right now it’s worth it. if and when it comes back down you can load up. In my accura I run 75 gr weighed charges with a hornady 300gr 50 cal SST sighted at 100. This load will clover leaf in my gun. Last three deer have been taken north of 165 yds. Dialing the...

    Question for CVA scout V2 owners

    I have a 35 Whelen in route. I was wondering if there is enough clearance to use a 40 mm objective in low mounts on this rig. I plan on using the bear creak rail and rings. Do any of you have a 40 in lows? If so how is it at the front and by the trigger spur? Thanks in advance
