Riverside at Rio Grande Club Announces: Adventures Away from the Crowds and High Prices

Rediscover Colorado at her best. Adventures abound in Colorado – many of which are waiting to be discovered far away from the busy I-70 corridor. With a major interstate transporting skiers through central Colorado to ultra-expensive and excessively popularized ski slopes, the I-70 stretch has become overcrowded, overpriced and overhyped.

Reviews - Energizer Night Strike LED Flashlights

Well, the folks at Energizer have turned out some new lights, aimed specifically at hunters and other outdoorsmen (and women). Actually, these things hit the streets a few months ago, and I've been putting all three of Energizer's Night Strike lights to the test all hunting season. Now's the time to report on them, and let you know how they held up and just about their good (and not-so-good) features. They're tough and bright, for sure... but what about price, practicality, and design? Check out the reviews to find out.

Review: 40" Bipod Shooting Sticks

Not all shooting sticks are created equal - trust me. These are right up my alley... they're simple, but very versatile. This can be a bipod, monopod, or diagonal mono rest (running diagonally from the rifle to your belt area) of varying length. The neoprene case it comes with doubles as a holster for the end of the rest when you use it that way. In short, this is the best bipod product I have ever seen.

Hunting Life After Death

I continued to hunt after Dad died, and the following deer season was the most productive I'd ever had. Although it was tainted by his absence, I'm proud of my "best worst hunting season" - for more than just the venison in my freezer and the buck head on my wall. I faced a tough challenge and made it through, with the help of God and good friends.
