    The Memes Thread!

    Since most vehicles fill their tanks on the left side of the vehicle I'll do that quite often instead of waiting for a pump to come available for my diesel truck. There will be at least one or two trucks waiting to fill on the left hand side where I can pull into the pumps, stretch the hose...

    SW Colorado early summer weather

    We've been getting a good rain every day for the last few days, my lawn is loving it. The town went to a tier billing system for our water starting this year and I'm trying to keep my water bill under $500 so most of my lawn is a shade just above dead.

    Wolves

    And they are branching out a little bit further, but they did decided to move away from the Wyoming boarder in a couple of areas. This map shows the drainage's that they have received the GPS signals from. Sad that it looks like they got some readings just to the south of where I live and...

    Range Finder

    I have a Vortex that was given to me that's worked fairly well. One thing on the Leopold's is their warranty isn't as good on their electronics as it is on their optics.

    Blackstone - Who uses a griddle?

    The one that I have has had so many onions, mushrooms, and bacon cooked on it that there is a permeate onion/bacon flavoring on it without having to add any of those items. On camp outs on the desert that I used to go on myself and a friend were the designated bacon cookers. Between our two...

    Homemade Rifle Vice

    I have always looked at the factory one but could never pull the trigger for what they cost and the few times that I would use it. That's when I started thinking about using the Workmate that I can use for dozen of other things when it doesn't have a rifle locked into it. I had used one...

    Homemade Rifle Vice

    I've been thinking of picking up a rifle vice to hold my rifles steady while I am doing something with them. Like a number of us I like working on my rifles and installing the scopes and or other sights but have fought with trying to hold them steady in a number of contraptions that I would...

    WY Unit 90 Pronghorn

    I think that he came to his senses or he finally looked at what the special tag cost. He is now thinking that $1200 can be spent better somewhere else.

    WY Unit 90 Pronghorn

    He actually thanked me for thinking about helping him out instead of telling him to get lost. I looked at the private land on OnX and it looks like there is some good access but I have zero idea if it is good for hunting or not along with how the herd health is. He has enough points to get...

    WY Unit 90 Pronghorn

    A friend is thinking about a unit 90 pronghorn hunt this year and was wondering how the access is along with the herd health. I threw my hands up and said that I'd ask the pros.

    Shooting Sticks

    I have a set of Bog Pod's and with both of my trips to South Africa that is what I used there. They also have replacement head where you can get a camera or spotting scope attachment and while they may not be as steady as one that is intended for that piece of equipment they are better than...

    2024 NR tags

    I have a couple of friends who raise beef. They have told me that if I would like a range steer to just let them know. Another one has a large enough pasture to actual raise two or three. You just need to get them before they go to the feed lots.

    2024 NR tags

    I started hunting just for the enjoyment over 40 years ago. I also found that if you were hunting for subsistence that it was almost cheaper to just go purchase 1/2 a beef. I wonder about that now days with the price of beef. If you are a non resident coming out west to hunt I believe that...
