Outdoor Dads - Idaho Quail Hunt

My good friend Marc Warnke and I each have kids of similar ages. He has two sons (4 and 1) and I have two sons (7 and 4) and a little girl (2). We are both pretty committed dads, but there is always room for improvement, so we decided to make an obligation to get [...]

Our Public Image As Hunters

When we as hunters consider what we love to do, which is hunt, we must think about the messages we send out to the non-hunters who vote for that right. We must be conscious of the way we speak about our sport at all levels. One area that I hear spoken about often [...]

A Hun Story

I just got back from South Dakota releasing Hungarian Partridge and doing some habitat management. If you’re wondering why we need to release Hungarian Partridge in South Dakota when we have so many pheasants, I wonder that myself sometimes too. But seriously, we are just trying to make our already outstanding bird hunting even better. [...]

Tasting Failure.

Success is sweet and failure is bitter.  One thing most sportsmen know is the bitter-sweet taste of an outdoor adventure.
 
Many moons ago I was invited to archery elk hunt with a guy in his secret area.  I think our connection was in the fact that I had the same morals regarding the preservation of a [...]

Cory’s Idaho Archery Bull

This is a re-post from when we didn’t have many readers.

Astronaut Bear Dies On First Mission

Somewhere in Minnesota on July 21, this bear was spotted sporting a jar on his head. Now I know that bears are smart, but I didn’t know they were capable of aspiring to such heights as role-playing. This bruin obviously wanted to be an astronaut… now that’s a lofty goal.
Unfortunately though for the bear, [...]

NRA-ILA: Here today, gone tomorrow- 2nd Amendment

The Supreme Court has ruled, affirming what you, I, and the Founding Fathers already knew — the Second Amendment guarantees an individual right!
While this is great news, this ruling is only as good as a future Supreme Court allows it to be.  The work of five Supreme Court justices today can very easily be undone [...]

Part 3: Rifle Prep

Recently I was at my gunsmiths shop discussing the work he was doing for me. Like a couple pigs in mud we were rootin around the spare parts bins and grunting away about our latest exploits. The conversation turned to a discussion about a rifle leaned up against the wall that looked very much like [...]

Part 2: Bow Prep

Randy Ulmer and Chuck Adams I am not, however, I can usually hit the broad side of a barn if my target is close enough to it. Most people who bow hunt are pretty fanatical and know what they need to do and when to do it for hunting season. However, I have noticed we [...]
