    Lobbying Colorado?

    In light of another horrible winter in the Gunnison,I'm wondering. Do you all think we could persuade the Co DOW to reinstate point banking? I'm finished dreaming about the unit 66 rut hunt I have been saving for. I jumped in the system in 2006. Like so many,I got caught up in it. Point creep...

    Region "B" question

    Can a non resident draw a Region "B" area 22 deer tag without preference points? I've downloaded the draw odds pdf from 2015. They never make sense to me. Thanks!

    If a feller wanted.......

    to hunt Blacktails. Where would he go? DIY, on a budget. I'd like to experience the Pacific northwest and can't imagine not hunting deer to do it. Kind of a "must do" thing deer hunters dream of.

    The room is reserved. Antelope 2015 is officially underway. Pretty excited. We will be staying in and hunting near Wheatland Wyoming. Looking forward to my first Lope hunt. Anyone here chase lopes in that vicinity?

    I need some input please.

    Hey folks. I need some opinions please. I have been building p-points in Colorado now for 7 years. In the beginning it was all directed at unit 66 for a late rifle trophy hunt. Well,point creep has put the rut season just about off the radar. So,that leaves the first rifle season. We got snowed...

    An old friend comes home.

    Back many years ago. 1977 maybe. My father and I went to an auction.One of the local gun shops was going out of business. We bid on and won a Remington 788 in 308. An ugly duckling that was a fact,but it shot quite well. I used it a couple years and ended up putting a M70 XTR 270 on lay away as...

    Shots fired. T3 338.

    I took the new T3 338 (aka Clubber) out this evening and tossed a few downrange. Gotta tell you she roots ya pretty good. Nothing I can't live with. Weighing in at 7 3/4 lbs,I think I'm going to like it from a carry aspect. She bests my 300 Ultra M700 by a solid 2lbs. I like that! I started...

    3 for North America.

    Well,it seems I've gone and done it. Since last Nov, I have aquired a three some of T3 Tikkas. A Tikka Triad of sorts if you will. I didn't set out to,but I see no reason these 3 rifles can't be a North American 3 gun battery. The Triad consists of a blued 25/06 wearing a 4X-12X Leupold. Capable...

    .338 Winchester fodder.

    Howdy all. I just picked up a Tikka 338 Winchester Magnum today. I was wondering if anyone here had any good recipes? If anybody here is piloting a Tikka .338 MAg I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!
