    Non-recovered Elk - my fault or bullet failure or both?

    I need some group thought/opinion. Shot an elk in CO this week and failed to recover the animal. Using a 7mm Sherman Short with 175gr Berger Hunter elite hunters @ 2925fps. Long story short, I got to 375 yards on a cow elk that was uphill at 17 degrees. Had plenty of time to run my...

    Know any guide in New Mexico with Landowner Tags

    I missed out on all my draws this year and I don't have time to do a DIY hunt this year. Does anybody know of a Guide or anyone that has Rifle elk landowner tags in New Mexico. Maybe even Colorado. Any help would be appreciated.

    Nature scenes we rarely see - Cool mount & backstory

    I wanted to share what I thought was an interesting mount, with an equally interesting back-story. My family is fortunate enough to have access to a cabin that belongs to a long-time family friend. It is located smack-dab in the middle of some of Colorado's finest hunting ground, and my boys...
