When the short mags came out they were the hot thing for various reasons, not the least was all the hype because they were new and the gun companies spent a lot marketing them. No reason to think the same thing won't happen a few years down the road. Good reason to reload for sure!

Last Saturday was our annual Hot Air Balloon Festival. I was leaving for a practice session at the indoor pistol range and got this picture. Came out better than I expected!

I have one too. I also use it on the trailer leveling jacks. Sure a lot easier with one of these!

All the tire manufacturers say you should get rid of any tire older than 5 years. I say this is pure BS, just marketing so you will buy new tires faster. On my travel trailer (a 2012 Denali, 26' length) I put a set of Maxxii tires (4) in 2014. I keep a log on everything I do to it. I ran...

Just got home from a weeks fishing at Blue Mesa Res near Gunnison. 20 miles of road construction, really a mess! Punctured a trailer tire, had to have been a sharp rock. Luckily no damage to my trailer.

Just got home from Blue Mesa. Fishing was pretty poor. Lake has an algae bloom and surface temp pretty warm. All the Kokanee are deep (70 to 100'). We trolled and without downriggers , couldn't get deep enough. Fished some where the Gunnison River enters the lake and caught a few rainbows.

We definately need a new governor to begin with.

I was going thru some old pictures when I came across this one. It is of my son, who was about 5 at the time. We were sitting drinking a brewski or 2 and my wife said "Look at Steve!" We all started laughing and I took the picture. Kids are so innocent when they are young. We used to go to...

I bought deer and antelope points to go with the ones I already have. Probably have enough for 2024, but a lot depends on how many tags they issue. The units I hunt are all in the south central and south western part of Wy. These areas got hit pretty hard last winter.

Got the rv out of the barn and cleaned it up and am packing for a week at Blue Mesa near Gunnison. We are leaving Monday morning with 4 other couples. Life long friends and hunting and fishing friends too. One thing for sure, it will be a lot cooler there. Been over 90 here for the last 3 weeks...

I wore a brace to prevented me from bending my knee for 3 months. I have had pt 3 days a week for 2 months until 2 weeks ago. No brace or support needed says the Doc.

Like the US Supreme Court.....deeeeep pockets.

Saw my surgeon l this week and he said I am good to go. Start walking longer and just be a little careful on uneven surfaces for a couple of months. I will be using walking sticks for awhile on my walks. I'll be ready for 4th season with my elk tag in hand!

Well said my friend!

I bought my son his first big game rifle in 1977 when he was 12. I bought a Remington 600 in .243. He still has it and still shoots well. If I was buying a kid their first big game rifle today, I probably would buy exactly what Hilltop did. It probably will do everything needed to take almost...

I have a handful of units that I have researched and hunted that are not generally very popular for various reasons. When I don't draw or just want points, I go to them and look to see if there are any available as left overs or secondary draw. This year I put in for 4 different tags for elk in...

Get a BLM map. Lots of public land.

I have one (a Leupold) and I like it, BUT in my opinion it's not a hunting scope. I bought it for my 25-06 and it was great at lower powers. I was using it on an antelope hunt and was looking across a big area at some goats about a 1/2 mile away. I had it set at 18x. Forgot to turn it back to...

I have 3 big game calibers 25-06, 30-06 & .300 Wby. I hand load for everything, Havn't shot factory loads since the 1950"s. My .25 is for antelope, hogs and deer. My .300 Wby is for elk and anything larger. My 30-06 is my backup. All shoot less than moa groups. Don't know what I would use...

Drew a cow elk on my secondary draw application. I listed 4 choices and drew my 3rd choice. Di
