Looks like I'm not going to get to fill my M/L elk tag! Just got a call from my sister in California and my 94 year old Dad is pretty sick, might not make it. I am flying out tomorrow and don't know when I'll get back. Hope everything get settled and I can still get my Wyoming & Colorado...

Just got back from the range, it was cloudy, rained a little and cool. I took out the .257 Wby and my sporterized 03 Springfield 30-06. I just added a new scope to the Springfield and wanted to sight it in. Scope is a Leupold VXIII 3.5 x 10 40 mm AO. Gun shoots really great. I tried something...

I was at the range today and was talking to another guy shooting and we got to talking about reloading. He uses a computer program (think he bought it) to work up his loads. I use my trust reloading manuals. Anybody use one of these programs? If so which one and how do you like it?

I have 44 Thor 250 grain, .502 dia M/L bullets that are not the right size for my M/L. I guess I screwed up and ordered the wrong size....too big. If you can use them, they are yours for the postage. Send me a PM where to send them and when you get them just send me a check for the postage on...

For those of you that are planning on hunting the San Juan NF area......It looks like the monsoons have really started. For the past week of so we have had rain almost every afternoon/evening. It is a welcome change to the hot, dry early summer/late spring we had. Temps are back to near...

Just got back from a trip to the area that I will be hunting in Sept (M/L cow tag). I was very surprised at the condition of the area. Lots of very green, lush grass and lots of water everywhere. The area is a little over 10K elevation. The areas down near 8K are definately a lot drier. Saw lots...

Just got my mail and got my Co. Antelope tag. Knew I had been drawn, but still nice to get the tag. After 12 points and 12 years waiting. Unit 003 Buck tag. One of the best areas in the state IMHO.:)

I don't know how many of you subscribe and/or read any of the various publications put out by various states G & F Depts. I subscribe to Wyoming Wildlife and Colorado Outdoors which are really great publications. I submitted a Feedback letter to WW last November and it finally got published in...

Anyone know if Wyoming has a "back door" to their draw results like Colorado does?

Looks like 74 opens September 15th. Does anyone remember if this is a 30 day season. Usually they are and close just before Deer season opens. Unit 90 (Deer unit that 74 is in) opens Oct. 1. I am hoping Antelope closes in 74 somewhere after the 6th of Oct. Seems like I remember hunting it...

Guess I'm going to be able to get to the range Tuesday and try my new .257 Wby. I am going to take my chrono and see what It will do with some factory stuff that came with it before I load up some reloads. I'll have something to compare my stuff to. I need to see how I like the scope too. It...

Don't know how many of you have Concealed Carry Permits, but I do and this effects me! :mad:New Mexico's new Director of Public Safety has changed the rules of NM's CC Permit. It no long will recognize 17 states permits that were previously OK in NM. I for one, will be limiting my travel to NM...

Just got back from California for a short visit with my 94 year old Dad (who still wants me to take him hunting....thats another story!). One of my hunting friends was wanting to get rid of his Weatherby Mark V .257 Wby mag rifle. It has a Leupold 3 1/2 X 10 VX III 50 mm. It also came with 60...

I have a .50 TC Black Diamond Express front stuffer that I use and am not extremely happy with the bullets I have been using. I have used the Power Point with the plastic cup seal in 290 gr (I think). A couple of years ago I shot a 5x5 bull right behind the shoulder, took out a rib and passed...

After my not so successful Wyoming Thorofare Teton Wilderness elk hunt, I am doing another one. While I was toying with the idea of going back to Thorofare with a different outfitter, I thought about the problems we had and decided not to go there. I committed to go in 2013 with a Colorado...

Recently bought a new Denali Travel trailer. My wife said the back of it is pretty plain, lets find something to add the back of the trailer so it is more interesting. She really didn't expect this, but I love it!

This question is posed to you older hunters...Does it seem like there are less tags available given the way most states now conduct their draws/lotteries? I have been hunting big game for 58 years in California, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and Arizona. It seems to me that every year it takes more...

I live in SW Colorado about 75 miles from Farmington. I've hunted elk here in Colorado and in Wyoming for years, but never NM. I am interested in hunting NM and need a little advice. I am not opposed to hunting with an outfitter, but do not have an unlimited budget as I am retired. Started...

Right in the middle of planning a 2 month+ rv trip to Alaska for the summer of 2012. Would sure like to hunt moose when I' there without spending mega $$$ with an outfitter. I know the procedure for taking firearms thru Canada and will take care of all that stuff. What I'm looking for is...

After 20 years of applying (and not drawing) for unit 100, I decided to hunt with an outfitter in the Thorofare area of NW Wy. After a lot of research I booked a wilderness hunt with Hidden Creek Outfitters. My question is has anyone hunted with them? If so what was your experience. I am going...
