    6.5 and 7 PRC, what are your thoughts?

    I get real nervous with these new cartridges, if they do not get popular, will you be able to get ammo or brass 10 years from now? When the short mags were all the rage one of my buddies bought the 7mm rem short action ultra mag. I don't see or hear much about that cartridge anymore. I have...

    The new age of Hunting

    Even at 300 or 400 yards by the time you get to where you thought the animal was standing, it can take a while to find exactly where it was. I would imagine this being very difficult when you push that distance to 1000 yards or more. The only way I can see this working is if you have several...

    Opinions needed for Daughter's new rifle

    I purchased the Weatherby vangaurd Camilla for my wife and daughter a couple years ago. I got it in 7mm-08 but it also comes in 308. It is designed for women with a shorter length of pull and more drop to the stock to fit a typical women's longer neck making it much more comfortable for a lady...

    Dumbell exercises

    I would caution you on going to the 60-80 pound dumbells. In my 30s and 40s I worked out everyday with a friend, we did the same thing you are talking about, the 50 lb dumbells were not enough so we went with 80 lbs. The only problem for us was as we approached 50 years old the heavier...

    Memories of Hunts Past

    About 2 years after my dad passed, we lost all of his mounts and antlers in a fire. That really sucked, it was hard to look at them without remembering when they were shot and the stories that went along with it.

    Lightweight Boots

    Agree with the Danner Pronghorns, they are great for a year or so but I wore out the soles pretty quickly.

    Should I apply for Antelope in Wyoming or not???

    I've been going to Wyoming almost every year since 2001 and the decline is obvious just from driving through the state.

    Should I apply for Antelope in Wyoming or not???

    Why not just eliminate Doe tags for this year until the extent of the die off is known. I can't imagine that they will truly understand the impact of this winter until May or June.

    Does anyone still hunt turkeys?

    Where I’m at it depends on the time of year, spring to early fall they are spooky as heck, late fall through winter they seem like the dumbest things you’ve ever seen.

    Fishing the Big Horns

    That's really cool! We were fishing from shore and tried several different kinds of spinners with no luck, but we did not have any red and white ones. A couple guys caught them with fly rods. We didn't get to fish very long there as a pretty severe thunderstorm was rolling in. I plan on...

    Fishing the Big Horns

    We just used spinners also, they served us well except for the Grayling in Willow Lake. We could not get them to hit a spinner.

    Fishing the Big Horns

    My son and I took a trip to the Bighorns last August. We camped in one of the national forest campgrounds and fished several streams and lakes. There are trout in all of them you will have a blast. My son said it was the best trip that we have taken out there. We mainly camped and fished west...
