    I don't want to start a big argument here, but Just wanting YOUR opinion on a muzzle break. Lot's of hunters posting here they want to go to a lighter caliber because of the recoil discomfort of shooting their rifle for extended periods of time. I get it and have experienced it myself. But...

    2020 Fawns

    Just finished drinking my morning coffee on my deck and watching our local group of deer (usually 30 to 40) move to their daily bedding area. They feed all night near my place and usually stop for a drink at my pond before bedding down. This year there seem to be fewer fawns than I normally...

    Huge Bull!

    Last week we spent all week in Gunnison camping. Spent a day in Crested Butte and visited their museum. This mount was there. I was shot near Crested Butte in 1899 and was certified as a new world record (at that time) scoring 442 3/8. It is massive. Pretty cool...........

    What would be your dream hunt?

    If you could pick any hunt, for any animal, anyplace in the world......what would you choose? Forget about any limitations you might have be it physical, monetary or otherwise. As long as you are dreaming, go for it. For me it is not an exotic sheep hunt or Africa's big 5, it would be an...

    What do you do with 35mm slides?

    I used to take almost all slides with my 35 mm SLR Camera. I have literally several thousand of them. Lots are hunting pictures. I am starting to go thru them and trash lots of them, but want to save some too. I suppose they can be converted to digital format. Any of you do this?
