    Reloading Supplies

    I have heard of supplies slowly creeping into stores but I have yet to see any. I was trying to get some BH209 for my Utah muzzle loader hunt but with the passing of my brother in law who was going to use the rifle that likes it I have enough to get me through the season. On the cost, I...

    Help me decide. Model 7 caliber change.

    That is why my safe if full of them and only a couple are based on the same case.

    Governor's tags for antelope

    All you have to do is to raise and wave your hand a bit. And then sit there on the verge of a nervous breakdown until someone else bids. It's a lot like playing chicken...

    Governor's tags for antelope

    It is always interesting just to do it knowing that odds are that someone would top it, but there is always that few moments just waiting for someone to up the bid. I have even written out a check for a few million on a closed account. But that check got torn up a few seconds later.

    Help me decide. Model 7 caliber change.

    When I was thinking of a brown bear hunt up in Alaska I was talking to a few guides. Most of them said that they would be perfectly happy with me bringing a 06 with some 200 or 220 grain Nosler Partitions loaded up. They also said that they would rather a person show up with a rifle that they...

    Governor's tags for antelope

    I don't consider them fools, they go into the bidding process with the idea of spending a basket full of cash and the odds are that all of them bidding have that type of cash that is just basically laying around. Plus the cost of the tag in the end goes to a good purpose. I was at a banquet...

    Kids Getting ready!

    Looks like they are having some fun one way or another. Be prepared for some heavy downpours from the monsoons that are hitting here. Not much of the state is being spared every afternoon.

    The thing that I would like to know is just how much of a tenth of one percent that it will increase resident odds.

    Monsoons in SW Colorado

    There is a good fire burning up around Steamboat right now so you might want to check out the area of it. I'm sure that they are also getting some good moisture but I haven't really watched that area this year. Check out this site for fire information. https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/

    Protect Yourself Against Component Shortages

    You don't have to base everything off of a single case. I load for a dozen different calibers and cartridges but what I do is find a powder that works in a couple different ones and buy that powder in 5, 8, or 10 lb jugs. For most of my pistol rounds Unique works quite well, except for my...

    Monsoons in SW Colorado

    For non residents the odds of drawing a couple of good tags in one year are even slimmer. I have however just put in for a point when my odds were close enough to draw a out of state tag that I really wanted over another tag that I could wait on.

    Not a single antelope tag

    Covid strikes again. I believe that there are a lot of hunters who are cashing in points the last two seasons. I know that the draw here in Colorado has been all out of wack as far as tags going to point holders and choices in draws. In areas that used to have left over tags all of the tags...

    Monsoons in SW Colorado

    The burn area is what is causing the mud slides. It is too bad that there isn't a camera in the area that the slides that are coming down. But here is one from last night, it isn't much of a slide but once it hits the freeway it fans out. some of the first ones would cover the west bound side...

    Wyo Task Force - Nonres Comments!

    This all depends on what permits and tags we are talking about. You will have slim pickings on deer tags in Colorado and Nevada, and Idaho is getting that way. Forget about pronghorn tags in any of the states. You can get a OTC elk tag, but forget about moose, sheep, and goats. Now Utah...

    Monsoons in SW Colorado

    We have been getting some good rain also. The problem is that when there is a flash flood alert they shut Glenwood Canyon down, but when you see the amount of mud that comes down and covers the freeway you can understand it. Right now on Wednesday morning it is still shut down with a clean up...

    After 7 pages there isn't much more that can be said on this subject . Residents like the idea and non residents hate it. The big problem that I see is that unless the non residents live close enough or have a bunch of time to dedicate to go to the meetings their voices are pretty much mute...

    How many of you will get the Covid shot?

    So Kid, with all the odds of you not getting it, and with all the odds of you surviving it why did you get the shot?

    How many of you will get the Covid shot?

    I'd like for you to explain that to a friend of mine who came down with it and spent 3 weeks on a ventilator in the ICU. Different people react to it differently, there is also a question of just how bad of a case the some get. Some will get a mild case and others will be next door to the...

    Wyoming NR general tags - how many point required this year ??

    This is the big thing. Hunters who have been putting in for years and finally realize that the hunt that they really want to go on just isn't going to happen in their lifetime. So they cash in on a sure thing enable to take a elk home. I did the same thing here in Colorado. I had planned...
