Survival Tips For Deer Hunters

survival tipsRecently I was planning a Deer hunt for a section of National Forest and throwing together a little survival kit for day hunts. When I called my buddy and asked him if he had his survival kit together he asked "What for?"

It then struck me that many Deer hunters do not give a Survival kit serious thought.

Idaho Game and Fish Asking For Help On Poaching Incidents

There has been a rash of poaching incidents in Southeastern Idaho recently and the Idaho Game & Fish is asking help from residents to solve the cases.

These cases aren't cases where someone shoots an animal illegally and puts it in their freezer. These animals were poached and left to go to waste. Poaching really gets my Goat, but shooting animals and leaving them lay to waste really gets me hot under the collar. These a$$holes need caught and sent to prison where they belong.

One Bad Case of Buck Fever

I found this funny Deer Hunting video on YouTube. If you watch where the bullets are impacting you can tell that they shooter is looking at the Bucks antlers, not concentrating on where his crosshairs are.

Either that, or he didn't sight in his Deer rifle. Could be a case of a Magnum owner having someone else sight in his rifle because he's afraid of the recoil. Regardless, this funny video demonstrates the need for practice with your Deer rifle!

Oklahoma 2007 Blackpowder Season Review

Well, another Oklahoma Primitive Firearms season has come and gone. Ironic that Oklahoma calls it's blackpowder season "Primitive Firearms" with most everyone using modern inline muzzleloaders!

Going into this Season, many of my friends thought it would be a tough hunt. The Full Moon was on Oct. 26th. As if that wasn't bad enough, there was an historic bumper crop of Red Oak acorns due to a wet Summer. I've never seen so many acorns in our hunting area!

MDM ‘Buckwacka’ Muzzleloading Rifle Review

mdm buckwacka rifleI bought my Mellennium Designed Muzzleloader "Buckwacka" .45 caliber black powder rifle about 3 years ago. I had previously owned and shot a few inline muzzleloaders since "coming over" from the traditional black powder rifle. Yet, when I shot those rifles and carried them afield, I never felt like I was shooting a 'real' rifle plus most of them left something to be desired in the way they shot and operated.

New Bass Pro Store In Pearland Texas – Review

bass pro shop store, pearland texasThe best way I can sum up the new Bass Pro Store in Pearland Texas is; A Lot of Fluff, Little Substance.

I've looked forward to this store opening ever since Bass Pro announced they were going to build it. Currently, the nearest Bass Pro Store to me is in Katy Texas. It's about an hour and half, sometimes two to get to the Katy store. You have to drive through Houston stop and go traffic, navigate a mess of road construction and short tempered drivers to get there.
