Some of you might remember my getting a new Ruger #1 in .300 Wby last year. I finally got my scope back from Leupold (VXlll 4x14) and decided to work on a new load. Went to the range this morning and tested some new stuff I just loaded. I load RL 25 powder, Federal Mag primers and 180 gr Nosler...

As soon as this wind quits (supposed to be windy a couple of more days), I plan on starting my summer scouting sessions. None to soon for sure. Plan is to go at least once or twice a month.

Been trying to get to the range for 2 weeks and all it does is wind....wind....wind. Looks like that for the next week too. Need to sightin in my new .300 Wby Ruger No 1 after I got the scope back from Leupold. for a checkup.

My son owns his own trucking business and text me today he picked up 88 MILLION primers from Speer/CCI in Lewiston, Id, going to Minnesota. He picks up there usually twice a month. I told him to save me a million or so....LOL! They are making primers, we just arn't high on the priority list.

A few months back, Eastman's asked everyone to submit pictures for possible inclusion in a new masthead for this Forum. Lots of great pictures were posted. The new masthead sure doesn't include any of them. What happened and why?

I received my Annual Sheep Issue a couple of days ago and just finished reading the First story "Sweet 16". I had to read it several times to really understand what the story was actually saying. I am a bit upset by what happened, the father actually attempting to kill his daughters ram after he...

Just finished grinding, stuffing and adding spices to my venison meat. Ended up with 25# breakfast sausage, 15# brats and 40# burger. A couple of months ago I bought 20# of bacon ends & pieces, used it for the fat in everything. It is going to be great. That along with steak stew meat and jerky...

I have a set of really great knee pads that I don't use anymore. They are ALTA Industries and are great for antelope hunting, especially when there is that little, sticky cactus around. Anyone want them........just PM me you mailing address and pay postage, they are yours.

I have a pond on my property here in SW Colorado. It is fed by seasonal irrigation water. It is about 12 to 14' deep and I stocked it with bass, bluegill, channel cats and sterile grass carp for weed control. They all do well. I do get a few mosquitos during the summer. I am going to start...

I have several friends who belong to a group of mountain bike clubs who build trails for mountain bikes on public land (both BLM & NFS) in Arizona, Utah and Colorado. They use power equipment and do lots of earth & rock moving. My question is do they need permits or other permission to do this...

Just looked at the current snowpack conditions for western Colorado (west of I-25) and things are pretty encouraging. From a low of 82% of normal to a high of 105%, with SW Colorado at 95%. The latest storm was pretty wet and things look good for this year. It will taken several more years just...

A few years back I bought a new travel Trailer (28' Denali). The back panel was totally blank and was a candidate for some cool graphics. I did a little research and found a company in Arizona that had what I was looking for. The company (RV Stripes & Graphics) would make almost anything you...

Got my Colorado Outdoors today in the mail. It is the annual preference points issue. All the species, units and points needed to draw last year all in one spot.

Received my 2022 Colorado Big Game booklet yesterday. Not many changes from last year. New : New surrender your license after the primary draw dates and rules; New warning for wearing of Fluorescent Orange.

Just got back from a great trip to southern California for the first ever NASCAR race at the LA Coliseum. Went with a life long friend and his 2 sons. My friend and I went to our first race together in 1959 and have been to quite a few over the years.

My son just gave me a set of Bushnell Equinox Z Digital Night Vision 4x50 Binoculars . Anybody have a set or have used them. Just wondering what to expect.

I shoot in a weekly Bulls Eye Pistol League. My centerfire is a S & W Target Masterpiece in .38 special. I reload all my own loads. I normally use Speer Bullets, but havn't been able to get any recently. Some of our shooters use Berry Bullets (a copper coated lead bullet ((not jacketed)). I use...

Everyone planning on hunting 2nd rifle season better be prepared for snow and muddy ground. This current storm has already dumped almost 1/2" of rain in the last 2 hours at my place near Cortez. It is forecast to last most of the day so we could get a lot more moisture.

He is one of my Hero's and I have an extensive collection of his books and books about him. I found an old Executive Edition of his book Hunting Trips of a Ranchman/Hunting Trips on the Prairie and the Mountains to add to my collection. I just finished reading it for the 2nd time and found a...

I was on my way to the range this morning and saw a fawn that was really small and had spots, couldn't have been more than a few weeks old. I have seen more late fawns this year than I have seen in years. Bet this one won't make it thru the winter.
