never been involved with any sanctioned event before and was wondering how it worked. I live in Yelm and have a couple hounds that I would like to get involved with. Please let me know how this works. I did go to the event you had in December just to check it out.

my next door neighbor has a small beagle (15 lbs) that is one of the best pheasant dogs ive seen..we've shot tons over her...haven't talked him in to taking out with my walkers on coons yet,though

I'd hate to pollute this subject any more after it was so elloquantly put by Mike what this thing is all about so all I'm gonna say is "Amen brother"

i have to agree that we are our own worst enemy...
THE BAD: I was (still am) fairly green to all this hound hunting and was looking for a couple of dogs to fill my pack. I heard of someone locally who had a black & tan female that they were selling on trial. I picked her up and took her out. She was ...

now I know what I have been doin wrong all these years, get the bear drunk before you run em...great strategy, although I probably would have used a cheaper beer on the bear and saved the good stuff for the dogs

ya Hermit, i've got a dog named Scrap....I'm thinkin of Jugg as in Jugg Head...that's probably gonna be the name of my next dog

nice pics....i had a dog that looked just like the third dog on the right in the third pic...His name was Zeb...sold him back in 2000 to a kid in southern Idaho. deep bawl mouth and was the first dog I ever treed a coon with. dam I miss that dog somethin fierce, think about him a lot...thanks for ...

that's a friggin monster! nice bear

thats a lot of metal I like my fillets on the bbq with a little mayonaise and Johnny's spread on top to keep it moist....nummy

The info I have is the model 722 was manufactured from 1948-1962 and only around 118,000 of the rifles were made. It also says that the 257 was only produced in 1948. I'm not gonna put a value on it as you can tell it's probably worth a little bit of coin. As far as caliber goes it's a 25 caliber ...

Mike, I hear what your sayin about the 358....my uncle had a Ruger #1 chambered in it and that is where I got my love for it. Shot a couple of nice muley bucks with his and none ever knew what hit them. all got knocked right over. as you said it will never be a beanfield rifle but for close range ...

Gotta love those Black & Tans! nice lookin dogs

I've got a Browning Lever action in 358.....its not the most popular caliber but I've handloaded some Nosler Partition 225 grains in it and it does an outstanding job....as you now its basically a 308 necked up to 35 caliber. up to 150 yards it is devastating....not a lot of recoil, small compact ...

I live in Western Wa. As of now the only way to legally hunt cougar is to put in for a drawing for limited tags in the fall of the year. The game dept has set quotas for certain Eastern Wa counties to receive an allotment of "damage control" cat hunts. These tags are for only a few counties in NE ...
