We've had some very interesting posts lately asking about favorite "all around calibers", etc. I've always hunted with the same 30-06 and am very happy with it; but, some of our discussions got me thinking about possibly getting a rifle that's capable of reaching out a little further. So I...

After the input I received (thanks!) on a previous thread it looks like my best shot at getting a Black Bear is going on a guided hunt (for many reasons). Do you guys know any Black Bear guides you'd recommend? I live in Colorado so maybe somewhere around here ... Wyoming, Montana, etc?

Hey guys, My wife wants me to get a Black Bear rug ... lucky me! I usually get a bear tag when I hunt deer or elk but I've never hunted specifically for a bear ... and I've never gotten one. Since I live in Colorado there's no baiting etc. I was thinking about maybe hiring a guide. Do you...

Nosler Ballistic Tip, 30-06, 165 grain, 200 yard shot into an antelope. Quartering away ... shot went through one lung and on up into the neck. Broke the spine in the neck and stopped against the hide on the far side. Dropped in it's tracks ... never even twitched.

Here's a picture of my Grandfather (center) hunting in Colorado in the late 1950s.

I got a small buck to go with my Antelope and Elk this year. Only had about 2 days to hunt this time so I'm happy with him.

Since you ask, I've taken a number of elk. I've used my 30-06 for all of them. Here's my latest from 2 weeks ago. The shot was quartering away at 440 yards. I knew my 30-06 would drive the bullet up into his vitals. I would not have tried that shot with a .243. But to each his own. If...

Here's my boys.

Since you bumped it up I'll repost these (from other threads) ... Both taken this month.

Here's a pic of me with my brand new Ithaca shotgun, Dec 1970. That's the first rabbit I took with it along with one great beagle.

I had success on a bull elk during Colorado’s 2nd season. On Saturday evening (first day of the season and my 60th birthday) about an hour before sunset my hunting partner and I saw a bull from a ridgeline about 1,500 feet above him. He was down in the bottom of a nasty ravine. There was a...

I had success in Wyoming last weekend. Got this guy (trying to attach photos) on Saturday before the weather got bad. Sorry the pic's aren't great but I was hunting solo and can't take a "selfie" at all ...

I have a Leupold VX-III 4.5-14x40 scope that I've been using for a few years. This year, when I go from looking at something at about 100yds to further, say 400 yards, both the scene and reticle appear a little fuzzy (unclear). I can adjust it by loosening the lock-ring and turning the rear...

Rocky 5 (front) and Dutch 4

If this has been ask before someone please direct me to the thread and I'll check it out... I'm wondering what you guys prefer for a Ballistics Calculator program? Thanks!

Given all of the great rangefinders on the market today, which would you buy?

Given all of the in-line muzzleloaders on the market today, which would you buy for a deer/elk hunt in Colorado?

Hey guys. I haven't hunted Antelope much and I'd like to find an area to try that provides a decent chance for success next year ... I'm not worried at all about trophy size ... I'd just like a chance at an average buck. Although I live in Colorado the antelope opportunities here are difficult...

Hey CC, Congrats on your Lab. Three years ago after my longtime buddy passed away (15 year old beagle) I got a Yellow Lab from "Forever Labs" just south of Calhan. Named him Rocky. I attached a pic of him and his brother at a couple of weeks old and what he looks like now with his new...
