I spent the better part of 3 months looking for the big boys. A month after season closed they decided to show themselves! All photos were taken through a spotting scope at longer ranges 600+ yards or more so the photo quality isn’t great but you get the idea! Sleeping beauty. This buck was...

Had a great day glassing mule deer and put on several stalks that ended with no deer injured or killed. Here’s one I tried to put the sneak on. I was defeated! While glassing I spotted an original OG of the sneaky cat tribe! Bob was showing me how it’s properly done. Just before quitting...

I’m back out in the field pursuing high desert mule deer with a bow. I’ve been out 4 days and have two more to go. The rut is starting to fire up and I am seeing some bucks but nothing yet that I’ve considered worthy of a shot. Sky line doe. All camoed up and looking for Mr. Right.

Aram Von Benedikt an Outdoor Life free lance contributor and often is featured on Ron Spomer’s You Tube channel is no longer writing for Outdoor Life after an incident involving a first time female hunter. The crux of the story is the lady shot and wounded the deer, Von Benedikt later shot the...

Alright, YES I am archery deer hunting at the moment. And I happen to have had a cow elk tag in my pocket. So while archery deer hunting I threw my .308 Scout Rifle in the truck justncase. Last night I was watching a herd of deer right at dark. While I’m watching them a herd of cow elk start...

I took the boys out to the club this morning and popped 5 roosters in about 3 hours. On the drive in I spotted a real nice buck! Out of my unit but they are starting to show themselves! In any case it was a great morning with my K-9 buddies. Ralphie bringing one in, Me sprouting some tail...

Not much to report. I put one stalk on three bucks. We spotted them at about 900 yards and closed to 300 where I could get a better look. I’d forgot my spotting scope at home. After having a good view at 300 yards I left him alone. He was a big mature 3x3 that’d probably score about 150”. He...

A buddy of mine invited me out to his farm to do some dove hunting. We loaded up a couple of dogs and headed out. The bird shooting was very good, the dogs did great and fun was had by all. Action shot! Here’s me dropping a dove and if you look to my left Trigger my 2 year old Jagd Terrier is...

I’ve once again drawn an archery tag in a unit that produces incredible mule deer genetics. My goals in order are; A buck that scores over 190” B&C typical. A “Trash” ( non typical) buck with serious character. An old buck that is over the hill and in decline. I am absolutely not...

My daughter came home for the weekend from vet school and we decided to head out to the range for our annual 200 yard tight group contest. She was shooting her custom built Model 70 6.5/06 topped with a Zeiss 2x10x44 HD5. I was shooting my stock Sako S20 in 6.5 PRC topped with a Swarovski...

I’ll start off by making some excuses. Besides sighting in back In September and one coyote in November I’ve done very little rifle shooting in 2022. I did kill a cow elk in early January of 2022. Other than that this is the first year in my memory that I haven’t put several hundred rounds down...

This season has been a mix of nada, zippo and goose eggs for the H&Hhunter clan this year. We struck out on bear, and I came up with absolutely nothing during my deer hunt in November. My girls had doe tags for the late season and they broke the spell two days and two deer down. The day started...

I stumbled across this series on You Tube. The way these guys track bucks in the heavy cover up in Maine very much reminds me of how I hunt elk in dark timber and very similar to how I hunt hogs in the thick cedar and river bottoms in Texas. That environment is perfect for good iron sights and a...

The only critter I’ve shot this year is a coyote. But I have to give a shout out to the Viper Flex shooting stick/standing rest system. This shooting system is a no kidding portable standing bench rest. I was banging steel off of it at 600 yards without the slightest problem. They are a bit...

I am fairly new in the bird dog game, and bird dogs have changed my life! I love good dogs and having a good dog that works for you like a good bird dog is one of the most rewarding and fun things I’ve done in the outdoors. I’ve got two bird dogs right now “Beans” is a Brittany that came to me...

A buddy of mine is a local cattle rancher and invited me along to keep him company on his pronghorn hunt this year. He had been watching a buck he called Jr. and had a pretty good idea where he was hanging out. We looked for him for about an hour and finally found a buck that we thought was him...

I hunting buddy informed me that he had an old Steyr in a full stock with double set triggers in 6.5x54 MS. He asked me to come take a look at it. One look and I could tell him immediately that it isn’t a 6.5x54. But I can’t say what it is without having a chamber cast done, which I will do...

I stay in hunting shape year round. But this time of the year I start picking up the pace for hunting fitness. As a bit of a back story, once upon a time I was on an elk hunt in Northern NM and my body simply gave up on me. I was heaving, I had wind cramps and my legs were simply done. I was...

We took the boys out this morning for a bit of fresh air and bird scent. Beans the Britnany with Buckets the Jagdterrier Ralphie the Spinone with Buckets Ralphie pointed the first 4 roosters, Beans went out next and pointed one rooster and one hen. Buckets was there for moral support and...

What is the best round for your target species? The simple answer is that there not one single “best” round/rifle/bullet/scope for your target species. For deer sized animals just about any center fire is capable of cleanly killing a deer. They are soft, thin skinned and lightly built. The...
