For those of you with this tag, here's an e-mail I just received from the G&F Area 81 limited quota deer licenses can be reserved for 2017 due to Beaver Creek wildfire LARAMIE – Closures on the Medicine Bow National Forest due to the Beaver Creek fire will impact a significant portion of the...

I know that these bullets just hit the market, but was wondering if anyone has started playing around with them yet. I called up Hornady looking for some load data, but they said they didn't have anything finalized yet for data. I have a box of 200 gr. bullets I plan on trying out in my 300 WSM...

Knocked a buck down today. Stalked him from about a mile and a half to get in position while he was bedded. Laid there for about an hour waiting for him to stand up and drilled him when he did.

http://dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a554683.pdf Here's a report that I found pretty interesting that covers advertised ballistic coefficients versus measured ones. Figured some folks on here would be interested in the info as well.

Just thought I'd share some pics with you folks of my recent winter project. This rifle was purchased by my dad in the 70's from a gunsmith who's name was lost in time, used by my father, myself, and my brother on many successful hunts through the years, and had found a corner in his gun safe...

Well folks.......It's back. The bill effectively calls for the creation of R preference point systems for deer, antelope, and elk with 50% of available quotas going through PP drawings. Additionally, there's language in it that allows for minors (youth hunters) to apply with an adult with no...

I was finally able to pick up my bull mount from 2013 over the holidays. My taxidermist from Dubois did an excellent job on him, and, if anyone is in need of taxidermy services there in the future, I can PM you his contact info. Here's a few pics of the mount.

Many of you may have heard rumors like I have about the Brunton Co. getting out of the optics business. Below is confirmation of that and how they intend to address warranty issues on their optics going forward for those that have any of their optics: Me - Dear Sir/Madam, I recently heard a...

One of my friends decided this year that he wanted to get into hunting big game, so I had him apply for everything I did and he happened to draw an antelope tag. Fast forward to hunting season and our schedules happened to work out that I could take him on the 10th of October. I'd never been...

Not to be out done by the folks from the Silver State, here's a thread to post pics from everyone's adventures in the Cowboy State............Go Pokes! Anyone else been out in the hills lately?

As the title states, give up some of those recipes, folks! My favorite is in steak form. I make a simple brine and put them into soak at lunch for preparation that evening. Next, they're rinsed and dried off. Depending on how I'm feeling that day, sometimes I season dry, and sometimes I...
