    Vanguard Tripods

    About 10 years ago I bought a Vanguard Alta series tripod for my Leupold spotting scope. It has served me well since I bought it. During a hunting trip last year carrying it around in my SxS, i bent the handle that mounts on the swivel mount. I sent Vanguard an email explaining the problem and...

    WY 90/10 Deer/Elk/Antelope Question

    I believe that if 50% of the NR tags go to outfitters, they will not sell 100% of them for outfitted/guided hunts. I think they will have to sell some of them like tresspass fee hunts. Just my take.

    WY 90/10 Deer/Elk/Antelope Question

    You are 100% correct. Nonresidents will take whatever is dished out. The outfitter "welfare" is pretty obnoxious, but not unexpected as they benefit from the state's rule about nonresident hunters needing an outfitter to hunt wilderness areas.

    Load Development Ruger #1 - .300 Wby

    No. The other thing I like is that I can seat the bullets a lot shallower, no box magazine that limits the OAL of the loaded round.

    Load Development Ruger #1 - .300 Wby

    My original load in the other gun was 86.5 gr of RL25 with the 180 gr bullet and it was 3265 fps.

    Load Development Ruger #1 - .300 Wby

    Did not take my Chronograph today. I am going to load up some more of this load and go back to the range next week. I need to get the zero at 200 and I'll take the chrono with me then. I'm guessing around 3200 fps.

    Load Development Ruger #1 - .300 Wby

    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...

    how many of you belong to the NRA and should I renew my membership

    I am an Endowment Life Member and have been since I was 18 years old (62 years ago). The NRA has changed, as society itself has changed. There is (and has been for years) a lot of sentiment out there to enact all kinds of restrictions on ownership and our use of firearms. Some are probably good...

    Gun Confiscation!

    You are right about that. I believe we have to have term limits on congress just like the President. Incumbents have a tremendous advantage, especially in raising money. Our system needs an overhaul for sure.

    Kenai Peninsula Fishing

    If you get a minus tide, the clamming can be awesome.

    Summer Scouting

    Finally got almost all the Dr appointments behind me (just the surgeon left now) so I can get some field time looking. If this wind would settle down it would be even better.

    Kenai Peninsula Fishing

    Spent a month on the Kenai in 2019, mid May to Mid June. We did some Salmon & trout fishing around Soldotna. The one thing I know is they really have a bunch of regulations that are very region specific. Some rules kick in on different dates as specific salmon runs start and are not set until...

    Summer Scouting

    I will keep looking at the 4th season situation and decide what to do when the time comes. I now have only 1 point (from this year) and it will be several years down the road when I have enough points to draw again. I do like 4th season because of the small number of tags available as it is a...

    Summer Scouting

    SW Colorado, according to the latest press release from P & W, has the lowest CWD in the whole state. The unit I am talking about is in the SW part of the state less than 100 mile from my place. If that is what they are wanting to do, it looks like they are accomplishing it.
