Bearkiller - which trailhead? Bear Wallow?

Good job! Congrats!

I hunted black bears this year and missed a nice 300lb one at about 365yds. A few weeks later I did get a 150lb at 180yds. Spent a lot of time this year scouting and glassing, and have some nice...

Anyone have any experience of headsets for the Garmin two-way radios/gps systems? We have the Rino 530HcX, but find the PTT button random unless pressed on precisely the sweet spot, and even then it...

Ruttin - so sorry for the loss of your father and such a traumatic experience.

BB - I get how the SPOT dials 911, but with the Help feature, how does it notify your close contacts and what unit do...

Not life threatening but could have been if circumstances had been different. Was hunting a tough canyon in Eastern Oregon last year - big windfalls, wet algae covered rocks, maple vine - I slipped,...

Very nice buck...congrats!

Personally I like the BogPod RLD Series with interchangeable heads for a rifle rest and/or spotting scope. You can also get additional "switcheroo's" to add one to your spotting scope, camera,...

Despite being out all last weekend hunting for my antlerless/spike tag (which I filled), saw no rutting activity, which amazed me.

Thanks guys :) It is pretty country, although that particular spot was gentle on the old knees. Some parts of Western Oregon are beyond challenging lol. But that's why we do it, right!

My blacktail doe shot this weekend at 40yds in the Mill Creek unit - about 110lbs. Freezer's looking good again this year!

I heard the snow was coming down now....sweet! Heading out up the McKenzie this weekend so will keep you posted on rutting behavior I see there. Very little so far on the coast range.

I resemble that remark :p

Seriously though I couldn't agree more! With my Badlands Cali I have to strap my sleeping bag in plastic to the bottom outer straps - it's a featherlite so packs down to...

Still just points collecting on antelope in OR for 2012. If we pull elk tags for E.Murderer's then awesome, otherwise back over to the Eagle Caps to bag a big muley!

Just be careful all those wind turbines don't slice you and take ear buds to block out the constant drone ;)

My husband is the stay-at-home "wife" and I go out to work the big $$$ everyday. I'm also the crazy hunter in the house AND I manage the finances. SO, my advice to you guys, start offering to manage...

My husband and I do the cooking back to front. He does all the cooking at the house, and I do all the BBQ-ing, camp cooking and dutch oven - man, if you have not tried dutch oven cooking DO IT! It is...

Conceal carry 99% of the time. Can't take it onsite at work, but it's in my truck in a locked down safe. It's by my beside every night. Oregon is an open state, but concealed carry is also an option....

I have the Nikon Riflehunter 1000 - very accurate up to 500yds and pretty spot on up to 1000yds. Does not need a reflective/shiny surface to provide a reading, unlike some. Orange backlight for low...

You're so right, sjsmallfield. My hope though is to help others widen their appreciation of what a trophy CAN be, and not get stuck in a rut (excuse the pun) of only "big is beautiful". Also I've...

Still waiting on that one elkslayer, but the bear was taken in to the ODFW office and they aged it at the 2.5 3.5 yrs. They also said that the bears are staying smaller at the moment and this is a...

Try a fawn bleat - seems to be one of the favorites on the menu. Even the bears are responding to these now.

Yup - leave it to a great Oregon manufacturer to give the best warranty possible ;)

I have a Rem 300 UM and am upgrading the factory fitted scope to this Leupold...

Awesome cool pics. Congratulations to you both!

Well just got back from another successful hunt of the Minam Unit where I killed a 4pt muley. Also, most of the buffalo have now be round up and fenced back in on private land. However, we did come...
