Super realistic octopus swim bait from Optimum Baits

Optimum Baits – Magnum Octopus

March 30, 2020

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 […]

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. […]

Are You Using the Right Bullet?

December 16, 2018

By Jason Brooks Walking down the aisle at the gun store and looking at ammo you will find a multitude of brands using different bullets in your favorite caliber. So, which one do you buy? Unfortunately, a lot of hunters make this choice by price and not what is best for the application they plan […]

Forecasting the salmon forecasts!

February 5, 2012

Football nuts have their NFL Combine and Draft, while us “salmon sickos” have the salmon run projections and the season setting process. If you’re a football fan fisherman…you’ve got a whole lot of “pre-seasoning” to do. So, in an effort to apply some “salmonid salve” to your off-season itch lets take a peek at the process of […]
