    another democrat grab for guns

    Just listen to what they accuse the other side of doing and you can see what they are up to. Everything they accuse conservatives of being is actually what the left is. They accuse Trump of being a Nazi as they are trying to take your guns. There is absolutely no honor left on that side of...

    Hunting applications during Corona.

    I may still apply for WY deer and antelope for my daughter and myself, but right now I am conserving as much cash as I can. I have no idea how this will effect my ability to earn a living in the next six months. Right now I am deemed an essential worker and have not been financially hurt by...

    Social Distancing - What's Everyone Doing?

    Reminds me of when I was 17 dating my wife. Her dad was a large farmer for this area, one day in the early summer he handed me a 16 lb sledge hammer and told me to walk around the pasture and give every fence post two or three raps because the frost lifts them every year. I thought he was...

    Opening The Can Of Worms...Coronavirus...

    I am all for doing whatever I can to protect everyone from this virus, I may not agree with everything but I can be a team player. Monday night everyone in Michigan received an alert on our cell phones telling us that you are not to leave your home unless you are deemed and essential worker and...

    Favorite Rifle???

    I have not seen very many rifles I did not like, I like some more than others but being a gun nut I have been able to justify owning almost all rifles. That being said I guess the gun I use the most is a Mark V Alaskan in 300 wby. Very reliable, accurate and one hell of a killing machine.

    Bow hunters

    As everyone has said, go to the bow shop and shoot. Have an open mind, the last time I purchased a bow I knew what I wanted went to the shop the guy told me to shoot a few and I walked out with a bow that I had never heard of and I have been more than happy with my purchase ever since.

    Opening The Can Of Worms...Coronavirus...

    My son was informed by the University he attends that he should check out of his dorm return home where he can complete this semester on line. He just showed up with about 48 rolls of toilet paper he had left. Back in December my wife wanted to make sure he had enough, I thought she was crazy.

    Opening The Can Of Worms...Coronavirus...

    My wife and kids always laugh at me, I can gut deer, beer and skin all sorts of smelly critters but changing a diaper or cleaning up vomit sends me into a dry heaving frenzy. Glad it is not just me.

    How much time do you spend behind the glass? Let us know!

    The older I get the more time I spend glassing. I am not the sharpest tool in the shed, I started to notice that I spotted way more game when I would stop and eat or take a break. Took me a little bit to figure it out.

    Opening The Can Of Worms...Coronavirus...

    I totally agree with your post, I live in the middle of nowhere (upper peninsula of Michigan) but I had to spend last week in Indianapolis. They were supposed to have the Big Ten Men's basketball tournament 2 blocks from the hotel I was staying at. It was totally surreal to watch people from...

    Another Poaching Case

    I think that "Poacher" is not a strong enough word for what these aholes did. What kind of drugs are you on to kill animals like that and leave them rot. This goes way beyond what I would call a poacher. The trend of thrill killing is very scary, too many video games or something.

    Wyoming summer vacation

    I took my family out there for the 4th of July about 8 years ago. It is a little crowded but worth it in my opinion. We spent the 4th of July in Cody, watched their parade and went to the Cody stampede rodeo. We have done this twice over the past 15 years. It is my favorite way to spend the...

    338 Cal Rifles

    I am a 340 wby guy. I have two of them, I purchased them before the ultra mag and other newer 338s had come out so I cannot speak to them. I love my 340, have killed Whitetail, Mule Deer and Black bear with it. I loaded some 200 grain ballistic tips for deer hunting that are absolutely...
