2007 Colorado Archery Elk Hunt - Days 4-6
Posted by Darrell under: Elk; Colorado; Hunting Stories.
Welcome to Hell!
Day 4 - In the morning, I accompanied Jeff and Billy back to the area we had hunted on day 2. We jumped a large herd of mule deer, including 3 monster bucks. All would have been EASY bow shots. (Of course I wasn’t even carrying a bow as mine was back at […]

Attacked By A Buck That Didn’t Even Wipe
Posted by Darrell under: Whitetail Deer.
I read a story (that Rex suggested) entitled Never Rope a Deer and found myself laughing and remembering my own close encounter with an enraged deer. My story took place when I was just barely 16, but I remember it like yesterday.
I had driven out to this spot a couple miles from camp and about a 1/4 […]

What Does Bear Meat Taste Like?
Posted by Darrell under: Black Bear; Alaska.
I wish I could answer that question, but I can’t exactly. I can say, unequivocally, that it doesn’t taste anything like “Chicken”! We grilled our first bear steaks last night and I wasn’t sure what to expect. We had some adventurous company over. I’ve had bear before and it was good, but this particular bear of […]

How Much Does It Cost To Have A Bear Processed In & Shipped From Juneau, Alaska?
Posted by Darrell under: Black Bear; Alaska; Planning a Trip.

Preparing a Bear Hide for Taxidermy
Posted by Darrell under: Black Bear; Tips & Ideas.
After returning from my recent Alaska Bear Hunt, I realized I need to be better prepared to care for my game. I watched my guide skin and cape my bear without a clue how to help him or how to do it myself. I started doing some internet searches to learn a little more about […]

I have used the Leupold RX II Laser Rangefinder for 2 seasons now and I’m a believer. In fact, when I recently lost my rangefinder and was forced to buy a new one, I decided without any hesitation on buying yet another RX II.
I’ve already given away that I like the RX II, but now I’ll […]
