    Hot Waterfowl Reloads

    I guess I'll start this off. Back in the 60's when I first really got into reloading shotgun, my buddies and I would do a lot of experimenting as there wasn't a whole lot of information like there is today. We didn't have plastic wads and all the hulls were paper. We were going duck hunting in...

    Garmin GPS Interface

    Need a little advice from some of you computer experts. I have a Garmin 650 Oregon with a Colorado chip. Out in the field I sometimes have a problem with the small screen...too much sun, no reading glasses, etc. At home I interface it with my home computer. I have downloaded Garmin's Base Camp...

    Swagger BiPod

    I saw a review on this product several weeks ago and also received an Eastmans review today. It looks really great for functionality. The only problem other than being a little "spendy" is the weight. It weighs 1.5# for the ground model. Man that is heavy. Anybody tried one?

    Hunting during the Rut

    I have been hunting antelope for 40 years and this year was the first time I have ever hunted them during the rut. It was difficult to say the least. Usually hunt in mid to late September before the rut starts. This year here in southern Colorado the rut was full on the 1st of October. The...

    Got some bad news today,,,dammit!

    After my antelope hunt, I had an appointment at the hospital for a CT scan on my shoulder. The ortho dr wanted a more concise view of the damage before my upcoming joint replacement surgery. Much worse than expected, I need a bone graft too., which he doesn't do. I have been referred to a...

    Pinto Fawn

    Finally got some pictures of a "Pinto" fawn that was dropped this summer. The doe shows some spotting, but not like this little tyke. Really pretty. We have quite a few mule deer that are here all the time. Bucks come in during the winter for the rut and then pretty much disappear.

    Heading Out In The Morning

    Heading out in the morning for my Colorado antelope hunt. I was given a suggestion to look at an area east of my place and last March spent some days looking there. Saw a fair number of them so I cashed in my 14 points for a tag. There are only 25 tags, so should be a good hunt. I saw 2 nice...

    S.p.o.t.

    I just received an email from SPOT informing me that the current plan that my device is under contract to SPOT is being discontinued. The new program will cost $149.95 annually vs the $99.95 I currently pay. Hard to find out exactly why a 50% increase, but for me it seems to be just a little bit...
