    Ammunition shortage

    I'm w you on this. From what I've seen - Canada has plenty of ammo. Just can't see average folks sucking up everything the manufacturers can make, there is only so much money but we do have stimulus checks...

    Hunting CO?

    I have no issues with hunting CO. it is not just Colorado. Everywhere you look someone is talking about how tough it is to get a tag or permit. We've all experienced it. Hunting is becoming something you have to plan. The dayz of waking up and saying I wanna hunt here at the X, are gone...

    GPS, mapping, OnX? others?

    The phone application for onX is neat - like the ability to drop a point. Say you need to sneak around a ridge and come out at a given tree and there are 6 similar trees. Drop a point on the one you need and Whalla! I have the onX chip for CO and will get a second one for WY if I get pulled -...

    What scope power numbers mean?

    I shoot 225 yards with 357 mag rifle and a fixed 4x scope. As my eyes get older, I find I like more magnification for target shooting. I'm comfortable at 250 yards with a 3-9 for target shooting and will quickly shoot 250 yards with 6x when hunting. A 2-7 or 2-8 or 3-9 scope is a really good...

    Thoughts on Suppressors for Hunting?

    I'm all for supressors. The benefits outweigh the negatives. Was at the range once and met a guy with supressors - he had 1 gun (blackout I think) that I could not hear except for the slide. He also had a RPR in 6.5 CM that could shoot 1 hole at 225 yards. Was so nice and quiet. That's my...

    When did you kill your first deer?

    VT, 1986 I believe - 132# dressed WT doe. We were doing a deer drive and I was moving too slow for the other guys on my left & right, they unintentionally put 4 deer in my face. I shoulda shot the one in the back but opted for the closest one.

    Muley or cross with whitetail?

    I definitely see a mulie in the first photo. Some whitey characteristics around nose in 2nd photo but still has huge ears and that white rump. Pretty deer.

    Grizzly Kills Fisherman

    I agree. There is a reason they were killed-off in the first place and there is no benefit to having them or wolves reintroduced. You wanna see bears or wolves, go to AK.

    Local Shooting Range Situation

    The clubs down here start around 100 per person w various other fees. I shoot at a guys farm for 10 per day. Usually go 8 or 10 times a year. Like the 250 yard option and lack of general public w the muzzlebrakes on 223s.

    CVA Optima Muzzleloader

    Jim - I've seen Blackhorn at Bass Pro in Orlando - they had about 24, 10 oz jugs for $50/each a couple weeks back. I reached over the top of those and grabbed a pound of 777 for $32. From what I'm hearing, I shoulda grabbed 2 jugs of Blackhorn. Guess it shoots about 100 fps faster and is...

    Trip to Anchorage help

    We've done VRBO here in FL - they usually ask you to pay for damage insurance. Been a couple of years since we've done it tho.

    CVA Optima Muzzleloader

    Needed a distraction :rolleyes: - picked up a CVA Optima - SS, 26 inch barrel, got the iron sight version to have that capability but will install scope. 1:28 twist. Wanted a 200 yard ML and will work to get this one there. Have 1 piece scope mount on the way for a 3-9x40 VX-2. Based on...

    Senate Bill 103 - Wyoming License Price Increase - Guy Eastman

    I'm becoming more and more apathetic towards the changes that are coming. Ever think they do this so that folks get accustomed to the idea of the changes and don't fuss as much when it happens? That's what i think it is - the first couple of years it causes grief and anxiety, after that not...

    What is Trophy Hunting?

    I always wanted to shoot a pronghorn and a mule deer- have done both 1 x so far. These were trophy hunts - always wanted to hunt them and did. Shot doe antelope and buck muley. Real memory makers, those hunts were. My normal hunts are ducks and whitetails in the swamps. Right or wrong, I...

    Wyoming mule deer hunts

    I saw a post on another forum where some dude goes and sees orange hats and few deer, think he said he saw 1 buck at about 170-inches and wasn't gonna shoot a "little one". He seemed kinda disappointed. To me it sounded like a fun hunt if he didn't have expectations of a 180-200-inch buck...
