    Home On The Range-3

    by

     

    This past fall, on a featureless reach of Montana prairie, I sailed a broadhead right over the back of a 15-inch antelope.

    I thought the pronghorn was closer, obviously. The buck snorted, turned himself inside out and is probably still sprinting for the horizon. I judged the antelope at 35 yards. He was closer to 25 yards, but on the open plains, I was pinned down by his vigilant eyes as he approached, and with no shrubs or fence posts to use for comparison, I had no references to judge his body size or distance.

    Aimpoint's Big Bet-11

    How happy are you with your riflescope?

    Before you answer, think about the last couple of years. Have you been jammed up on a shot opportunity because your variable-power scope was on the highest setting? Were you not able to find a close-in deer because you only saw hair at 12x?

    Budget Trophies-8

    by

    We all want to preserve the memory of a remarkable big-game trophy, but now more than ever most of us have to balance the cost of taxidermy with the constraints of the household budget.

    There are other impediments to that shoulder mount, including spousal resistance and a shortage of real estate on your walls. That’s where Jeff Stark comes in. The Missouri hunter knows the enduring value of a special animal, just as he knows the appeal of a great photograph.

    Below Zero Roosters-2

    by

     

    People ask me all the time, how can I live in the most desolate corner of America, closer to Canada than civilization, a lonely 5-hour drive to the nearest airport?

    It’s nights like this that I want to show them, clear and eerie calm, under a purple December sky, three warm rooster pheasants heavy in my game bag.
