I recently sold about 10,000 primers here on the forum, all for the normal retail price. I was fine with that, except that the shipping was far more expensive than anticipated and I had to lie to UPS about the contents. My only regret is that I didn't keep any small pistol primers as I was...

I've solo camped & hunted in Wyoming griz country, and have yet to have an encounter with anything other than black bears. I always carry the rifle and bear spray, and practice deployment of the spray. I have been charged by black bears 3X here in the woods and wilderness of NE Minnesota. All...

That giant mule deer in the high country is still on the top of my list. Thanks for the give-away.

There's a trickle out there now. I just got 200 rounds of 9mm fmj (Winchester) from Sportsman's Guide. $67 per hundred. That's more than it was last year, but not as high as Midway has their available ammo priced.

Good for you Marcus...go for it. I've only run a couple marathons, but have probably done the half distance hundreds of times while just running for the pure joy of it. Get a good pair of running shoes and replace them long before you think they are worn out and your knees will thank you. My...

Avoiding bathrooms is unavoidable when you are a 68 year old male. Wait for it....you'll see what I mean.

Keep up the good work. Those rucks are a real effective training technique, add weight to your pack and step up the pace when you reach a plateau.….keep on trucking.

You can combine the two and do "prison cell pushups". Of course you may have to get a few more tattoos afterwards.

And that little ring probably ended up costing you more than all of your hunting trips combined.

Over the last 12 years I have only bought points and applied for tags in WY and CO, primarily because they did not have a "qualifying license" requirement that was non-refundable even for just getting points. CO changed that a couple years ago, and 3 of us will be burning our points this year...

I had my annual physical at the VA on Friday. The doc told me that based on the numbers and exam it looks like I will live to 107. I got a shingles and pneumonia shot and on Saturday felt like absolute crap and as of today can still barely use one arm; what's up with that? Feelin a lot...

I generally do the gutless method also, but on a guided hunt where we use horses they often qtr. the elk for packing back to camp. The guide told me that the F&G had asked them to "open the belly" after doing the gutless method as it allows for quicker and more complete disposal by birds if...

I don't like the term, and it has gotten a bad connotation for non-hunters. The perception is that we only shoot the biggest critters for their antlers, and let the meat rot. We all would like to shoot the biggest buck in the woods, but in many of the areas that I hunt, if you see a legal buck...

You go down a rabbit hole when you discuss "what ifs". I have taught firearms safety classes for 35 years, and the local warden does his presentation for one of the nights. Every year someone asks a question that he doesn't know (5 wardens thru the years), or provided an answer that I wasn't...

Great buck & story too. Except for that part where you said that you had to circle back, so I had to scroll up to make sure that it wasn't Biden's press secretary writing the story.

Well, I finally got the two guys who I have been prompting to buy points since their last hunt in CO in 2008 to apply for an elk tag. Even with reminders they dropped the ball a few times and have 8. We had focused on a MZL elk hunt which would take 7 to draw (NR), but after all these years...

I could always count to eleven as long as I had pockets.

When President Ford stumbled coming off Airforce One, Chevy Chase made it a regular byline whenever he was on SNL. I don't expect to see those guys making any jokes at Joe's expense, even though there's plenty of material to work with.

My dream hunt is always my next one. In my 21 hunting trips out west since 2006, I can't say that I have ever had a negative experience because of the poor behavior of other hunters. Of course some hunts were negatively impacted because they just happened to be where I chose to hunt, but on...

I've been trying for two months to get Social Security to figure out what they did paying $32K into my deceased aunt's closed bank account. No one seems too concerned about it, and yesterday I got a statement that she also received the last $600 stimulus. I'm the trustee, but I'm not really...
