    Daughter's Long Range Idaho Buck

    We have had a heck of a good time hunting together. She used to go and sit in my bear stand with me when she was 6-9, then she hunted with me and we killed a couple of bucks until she could hunt at 10. Then it was on! Here is some more pictures. Hopefully this will inspire your daughter...

    It's not near as tough as some will make it seem. Probably one of the funnest (is that a word?) hunts out there. Wish I could go every year. Go get em!

    Daughter's Long Range Idaho Buck

    About this time of year the hunting posts start getting pretty slim so I thought I'd add a post regarding my daughters 2022 Idaho buck. I was pretty proud of her for getting the shot off, and a long one at that (long to us). I had spotted this buck from our truck in a spot that had lots of...

    Maven b4 12x56

    Yeah, I used them last fall, and fell in love. Unfortunately I rented them. I eventually liked the power difference. I was having a hard time at first, and felt I couldn't get them focused correctly. Then, I don't even know exactly what I did, maybe the eye relief or something and I got them...
