This past year, a brand new pair of Dachstein Alpin Bock hunting boots added some class to my closet. Sadly, that was about the only action they saw because when I received them I no longer had any hunting tags left to fill and season was over. I had to sit and look at the…

An Early Season Lesson
Archery season has officially started here in Montana which means that I can pursue a mule deer buck, whitetail doe, bull elk and doe antelope with my bow. I can also hunt black bear with a rifle and turkeys with a shotgun. I have been able to get out twice so far. Day 1 found…
Adventure Awaits
The 2015 hunting season is literally just around the corner and for those of you who are interested, I thought I would share a little bit about what tags are burning holes in our pockets and what we are doing to prepare to share the success stories of the notching of those tags with you….
What’s In Your Pack?
Most hunters would not enter the woods without their pack. When you embark on a hunting adventure, the hope of success breeds the need for a few items to be carted along. Most of us will never need a survival kit but the chance of an emergency situation is a lot higher than one may…
Hunter Judgment
I am a Christian. That may cause hatred, love or indifference in those who read it but no matter your stance on Christianity I think we can all agree that we have a bad reputation for being judgmental. It has been well earned, but strangely I have felt those same condescending looks come from a…
Trapping Days
After being cooped up inside for much of the past few weeks, the fresh crisp air was welcomed into my lungs with an eagerness not unlike that of the hunger of a suckling newborn calf. When you are away from it you don’t notice how much you are missing it but when that first deep…
Shredded Elk Roast
Sometimes the simplest things in life are the best things. That is the case for this wild game crockpot roast recipe. This is the only way I cook a roast and it turns out amazing every time. Not only does it work but it is so simple and requires very little ingredients! I start with…
Hornady 45-70 Bullet Review
Tristan reviewed for Midway USA the 45-70 bullet he uses in the hand load for the Marlin lever action rifle. We both killed our elk with it this year. I thought I would share it with you and let you know to be watching for many more reloading articles to come. “My wife and I…
Family Time in the Field
Yesterday I was able to go out and do some shooting with my DPMS Mini-SASS. My scope, a Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50mm FFP with the new EBR-2c MOA reticle, is very high tech and I wanted to spend some more time just practicing calculating yardage and turret adjustments accurately. My scope allows you to adjust…
On the Line
Hunting season is closed now which means trapping season is in full swing. The Mountain Man has a line running and traps martin, mink, beaver, red fox, muskrat and bobcat. He has already had some success this season bagging a nice tom bobcat and two red foxes. We enjoy going along and…
Part 2 of My First Elk
We got her to the logging road and loaded up. It was still early in the day and since the whole herd had poured off the back of the ridge, we decided to attempt to locate them again. Two bull tags were burning holes in the Mountain Man and Bill’s frozen pockets. The Mountain Man…
