    2020 mule deer & Ruger Number One

    Not a huge buck, but crippled up with foot & leg injuries as I am this year, this one will do. A single handloaded 160 grain Sierra Game King at 3050 fps from the 7mm Rem Mag did the job. Sadly I pulled the shot a few inches to the rear instead of tucking it right behind the shoulder as...

    Bear Season!

    Washington's bear season starts August 1st, right around the corner! My son and I have done well on black bear here in Washington before and I hope to hunt pretty seriously for bear again this year. No baiting allowed. No hound hunting either here. So, it's "spot and stalk" for the most part...

    Sling as a shooting aid?

    Have you used the sling as a shooting aid while hunting game, large or small? Which sling do you prefer, and why? Normally I try to find or make a rifle rest, often it's my backpack, sometimes it's a handy log or branch or even a rock. I've also used bipods and shooting sticks. But the good...

It's easy to use, quiet and effective. No marred bullets today! Some of this ammo was loaded nearly 20 years ago, other only about 10...

    Elk Roast Christmas Dinner

    Seared the elk roast in a hot skillet with butter, garlic, onion, salt, pepper, thyme and rosemary. After searing it, all of that and a bit of red wine went into a zip lock bag and into the sous vide immersion cooker. Trying 130 degrees for four hours... The house smells so good after...

    Protecting Your Bird Dog?

    Hey guys - I know some of you have bird dogs for hunting upland game or ducks. How concerned are you about wild predators attacking your dog while hunting, and what do you do to prevent it? I hunt a lot of wild country, not much in farmland. Like yesterday, Mav was hunting off leash...

    December Pheasants

    My son and I took the dog and our shotguns for a little walk today. We found five roosters, but only brought home four. One got up at an odd angle, my son missed two shots, and he would have been in my line of fire, so I never even shouldered my shotgun. Good day though, we enjoyed! Here's the...
