    What’s the Best Way to Start Firearm Training for Beginners?

    Many states offer free firearm safety courses. Those are a great place to start imo. Basic firearm function can be looked up online for just about any kind of firearm after you have basics of safety down. Can't stress it enough, treat every firearm like it is loaded no matter what...

    WY Antelope & Deer Results Today

    Times have changes for sure. 20 years ago I could drive to laramie and buy tags at the west laramie fly store. Now struggle to beat the odds to get a doe tag. 0-4 this year for my son and I. Hoping to draw a cow tag in the leftover now.

    Do you seriously think non resident doe tags are the smoking gun? Seriously

    Wyoming antelope areas

    If I had 16 points I would honestly wait another 1-2 years. You can have a good hunt this year in the premium areas but it isn't what it once was since they haven't recovered fully from the bad winter a few years ago. In 1-2 years, with a little luck, those areas will be quite a bit better.

    Colorado's new 6.5% tax on guns, ammo & gun related parts.

    It doesn't surprise me it's happening in Colorado. That state needs some serious leadership help. Not sure what I would do as a resident but I wouldn't stand by. Need to fight against BS like this.

    Winchester XPR

    Ammo has been easy for me to find but you won't see it on every Walmart shelf. Good luck to you guys. Shopping can be fun but a little stressful trying to make good decisions.

    Winchester XPR

    Have you compared to a 6.5PRC? I was a hold out regarding all the new stuff for a long time but Hornady really has a winner with this one imo. Much kinder on the shoulder but same or better killing range depending on bullet selection. I bring this up because there are several manufacturers...

    East side or Wet side of Bighorns

    They are always proportionate since nonresident get a % of overall tags. It impacts both

    Danner's Pronghorn Boots

    Very comfortable boots. I still wear them for some hunting. If you condition then occasionally, they last a few years of regular hiking.
