    Daydreaming

    Made the mistake of opening my picture file today. Hard to focus on work after staring at stuff like this. Wow do I wish I had Wyoming tags this year! 2016 can't get here fast enough...

    Awesome Hot Sauce

    I love hot food and am always searching for good hot sauce and salsa. My 6 year old got me a new kind to try for my 40th birthday this last weekend. It is so good I thought I would share with you guys. It is a Habanero based sauce with great flavor and enough heat draw a bead of sweat but...

    Shopping for a new CC pistol.

    I am shopping for a new conceal carry pistol. I'm down to the M&P Shield 9MM and the Glock 43 9MM. I love the feel of both guns and price is very similar. I haven't shot either as none of my local shops have a range. Do any of you have any opinions on either one of these? Is there another...

    .410 for Turkey?

    My youngest is determined to hunt turkeys this spring. I have finally given in and decided to let him try to take one with a .410. I don't think he can handle any more recoil than that. Has anyone on here done it before? What loads did you use? I am planning to restrict him to 20 yards and...

    Antelope Mount

    Just received my antelope mount back... haven't figured out an exact spot for him yet so I hung him on the fence for a pic. A few guys were asking about antelope taxidermists so I thought I would post a picture of him. Taxidermist is in Blue Hill Nebraska - Masterpiece Taxidermy. IMO Todd...

    Special Genral license draw odds

    Just curious- Was anyone unsuccessful when applying in the special drawing for a general tag? The way the odds are published it appears there were some but I know in years past it showed this but wasn't the case.

    257 Weatherby vs 25-06

    I have decided to buy another rifle this summer for myself and my son. Main purpose will be antelope/deer. I was set on a 25-06 but a friend is riding me hard to go with the .257 Weatherby. Anyone have any opinions on this rifle? Ballistics look pretty dang good but I didn't know if there...

    Muzzle Loader Scope Recommendations

    Haven't muzzle loader hunted since Nebraska changed their laws regarding muzzle loader scopes. I found one I wanted yesterday on clearance and couldn't pass up the deal. It is a nickel plated CVA wolf... nothing fancy but I like it. I would like to hear different opinions on what scope to...

    Colorado Area 9 Elk

    I guided on a ranch in this area 20 years ago. I'm curious if anyone on here is elk hunting this area and if an outfitter has leased the ranches close to Fort Collins. I did a Google search but it basically turned up nothing. Also for you Colorado guys, why doesn't this area show up in...

    Great Experience - Thank you NE69

    Last summer I started researching other areas to take my son hunting since our area has been devastated by the recent EHD outbreaks. I posted a new thread on here inquiring about public opportunities in other areas of the state. I received an invite from fellow Eastman's member NE69 to take my...

    2960 days later part 2

    Our trip started off bad to say the least. My 5 year old son got the stomach flu, I hit a deer in the road, I cut my heel at the hotel room in Kearney, and I forgot my boots! A stop at Cabela's fixed the boot problem- can't recommend Danner Pronghorns enough- they are awesome boots. We took...

    2,960 day later.... finally going Elk Hunting again

    It has been a little over 8 years since I have gone elk hunting! Leaving tomorrow...really hope all those years of preference points were worth the wait. My last hunt in 2006 was cut so very short by a volunteer bull on a "scouting" trip. A friend and myself drove out for labor day weekend...

    Primos Trigger Stick

    Just wanted to give everyone a review on these in case you were considering buying shooting sticks in the near future. I have no experience with any of the other models, past or present to compare to. We purchased the tall tripod version that is listed from 24" to 62". I primarily use gun...

    Gaiters

    Taking my wife on her first elk hunt in a few weeks. We have been back and forth on boots and have finally settled on a lower top hiking boot style of boot. I am doing all I can to ensure she is comfortable so I'm thinking a pair of gaiters would be a good idea in the event we get snow or wet...
