Life Lessons Learned While Elk Hunting

Elk hunting

I've hunted a lot of elk. I've guided a lot of elk hunts as well. If I've learned one thing it's that elk hunting parallels life... and life isn't fair. If there's not a trail, make your own. If you have a choice, take the high trail. Sometimes the Herd Bull's a dink. Persistence pays off. Put in the time. Take the "easy" ones when you can. … [Read more...]

Dove Hunting Tips

Dove Hunting Tips

September is right around the corner and that means dove hunting all across the country will be opening. Be sure to spend a little bit of time scouting just prior to opening day to find roosts, feeding fields and waterholes. Places that are holding doves late in August should still produce birds in early September. Another thing to scout for is flyways … [Read more...]

Your Kids First .22 Rifle

This is what I had as a kid. I loved this gun.

I get asked all the time what type of .22 parents should get their kids, so I did a little research and here you go. For my kids' first gun, we went with a cheap bb gun. Nothing fancy, just something so they could learn the mechanics of loading, cocking, aiming and firing. It didn't take my son long and he wanted to "graduate", so we looked at air rifles … [Read more...]

Blazing Saddles

That old Toyota burned to the ground. It was impressive.

It started as just a regular black bear hunt and it became an obsession. I was guiding bear hunters in Idaho's Sawtooth Mountains and a group of hunters from Wisconsin had sent us some trail cameras. We had six well-established baits spread over our hunting area and they were already getting hit hard even though it was only late April. I was excited … [Read more...]

My buddy Kris Keller who runs Sulphur Creek Ranch invited us on a wolf hunt / scouting trip for elk season. There was one catch though. We had to help him build "a little" trail first. No problem. It was only a 3 1/2 hour ride … [Read more...]

Teaming Up for an Idaho Elk Hunt

elk2009

I've been a busy guy the last few years and haven't gotten out hunting nearly enough. To be honest, I've felt like the plumber who has leaky pipes. It's been frustrating to say the least, but for the last few months I've been working closely with Chris Burget of BullsandBeavers.com building and managing his website through my other business, WebDog … [Read more...]

A Utah Easter Hog “Hunt”

utah-pig

Hog hunting in Utah you ask? Well, kind of... For the past few years we have gone camping with my wife's family in Utah during Easter weekend. Our traditional Easter camping spot is about a mile or so away from a big ranch loaded with exotic game including Russian Boar and I'm intrigued every time we drive down to camp. Our itinerary usually includes … [Read more...]
