    Congratulations! I am sure putting on a long stalk and packing it out will make it even more memorable for your son.

    Public Land Colorado - Highest of Highs & Lowest of Lows

    Sad story, but your wife shot a beautiful bull. I have a similar story that haunted me for years. I've been told that if you hunt long enough it's going to happen but that didn't make me feel any better either. Keep your chin up and thank you for being so ethical.

    BLM beware!!

    A few years back we received permission to cross private land to access about 1,000 or so acres of State and BLM in Wyoming. We did everything right and while we hunting on it we ran in to a different rancher who was none to pleased with our presence. He told me that he leased all of this land...

    Best Western Caliber?

    Sure hard to beat a 300 wby ballistics but like everyone else here has already said inside of 400 yards almost any of the modern calibers will do the job. Personally I like 30 calibers but I know a lot of folks that really like the 270 wsm.

    Let’s hear hunting stories with the kids

    Last weekend during Michigan's youth hunt my daughter was able to take this buck. We had a full moon and as we were walking out to the blind we chased out a big buck so I thought we going to have a slow day. 30 minutes or so later I see this guy coming from about 250 yards. I pointed it out...

    California bans trapping...

    Sad day! Trapping as a youth kept me out of a lot of trouble. It really bothers me that a whole generation of youth will not get the opportunity to learn to trap. Nothing I have done has given me a better appreciation for the outdoors than trapping. We need to stick together as outdoorsmen...

    Forum Banner Update Contest!

    That's awesome, my favorite so far! My brothers and I have taken our kids out of school for a week to go hunting in Wyoming for many years. When my brother asked his son's teacher for permission to take him out of school when he was 12 the teacher told him that his son would learn a lot more...

    Magnums-best recoil compromise?

    I have always been a big fan of the Weatherby magnums, I have several including the 270 wby mag. Both the 7mm and 270 wby mags are great rounds but I have been curious about the Winchester short mags. The 270 wsm comes pretty close to the 270 wby balistics.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated looking at taking my son on a combo mule deer and antelope hunt this fall.

    Should I rebarrel my 300 wby to 6.5-300 wby

    I have a Mark V ultralight weight in 300 wby and I have been kicking around the idea of putting a 6.5-300 barrel on it. Just curious about anyone's thoughts on the subject.
