Follow the X-Bolt – On the Range

November 27, 2019

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 […]

Man Shoots Thru Tree, Gets Deer!

November 6, 2019

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 […]

E-Bike Hunting, What Have I Been Thinking?

November 5, 2019

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.

Follow the X Bolt – Idaho Mule Deer

November 4, 2019

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. […]

Fortunately, we’ve been able to make a […]

Follow the X-Bolt – Journey into the Olympic Mountains

October 17, 2019

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 […]

Time to kick up your feet doing the jig around Puget Sound and reel-in a bucket of squid

October 14, 2019

Nighttime along many Puget Sound piers has come to life and the motive behind anglers hanging their hopes off the sides of these structures are the massive amount of squid now pouring into marine waterways. Squid – known in the culinary biz as “calamari” – are very plentiful marine creatures that attract hordes of anglers […]
