There’s no doubt the new Magnum Octopus swimbait from Optimum Baits will terrorize ling cod and bottomfish on the west coast. Halibut will probably even hit this killer swimbait. I can’t count the times that we’ve found whole octopus or tentacles in the stomachs of ling cod when they are filleted at the end of […]
By Rob Endsley As you may have noticed I’ve had the opportunity to use and in the case of the 300 WSM, abuse, a couple of Browning X Bolts this fall. Both are Pro Tungsten’s and one is calibered in 300 WSM and the other in 6.5 PRC. The 300 WSM was in the field […]
I had the good fortune of hunting mule deer in Idaho recently with some outdoorsman that I hold in high esteem. But after this they might actually walk on water, make the earth flat…you get it. When Joe Pyburn and Travis Van Dam arrived at our trucks back at the trailhead a few days into […]
My good friend Joe Pyburn and I were able to secure some Black Max electric bikes for a couple of hunts this fall and after riding them I feel like a complete idiot. I should’ve gotten on the e-bike movement a long time ago! These bikes are SWEET! They have Shimano components and Bafang electronic […]
There’s really nothing quite like a traditional deer camp. Drinking camp coffee around the wood stove in the morning, scheming up the days hunting plans, eating far too much for dinner (is that possible), and sitting around the wall tent at night telling stories. It all adds up to memories that simply can’t be replaced. […]
Normally I spend the Washington rifle deer opener in Okanogan County cruising the ridges in hopes of finding a mature muley. With mule deer trips on the calendar to Idaho, Montana, and Nevada in the coming weeks, however, I decided to do something a little different. With some intel from good friend Jason Brooks in […]
This new Pelican bow case is so bomber I just had to share it. Pelican makes some of the most thoughtfully-designed and rugged cases and coolers on the market today and their new AIR archery case is no exception. Whether for travel or trips to and from hunting camp this case is simply stellar. For […]
Browning X-Bolts typically come with a trigger pull weight between 3.5 and 4 pounds. There’s really no need to adjust the pull weight of a trigger on one of these rifles unless you obsess over this sort of thing, like me, and insist that dropping the trigger pull will help your shooting. I took a […]
My new Browning Pro Tungsten showed up shortly after getting home from a summer in Alaska and I couldn’t wait get the break-in process going on this sweet rifle and drill some holes in paper at the range. I chose to caliber this rifle in 300 WSM because the ballistics very nearly match the famed […]
