    Primers

    I haven't done much reloading thru the years. These primers came to me from an old lady who's son died. He had scads of guns and accessories. I had sold most of everything for her, but there was no interest in the primers at the time. I suppose the interest now is due to the general...

    jocularity

    The same rules apply as when you claim you shot a huge deer. It didn't happen and no one believes you until they see the photos.

    Elk Rifle

    Yup, the larders are almost completely bare unless you need a Nitro Express 600. I can sell some of my 30-06 Core-lokt...only $100 a box. On second thought, make that $200.

    Elk Rifle

    My BIL used accubonds for elk, but did not shoot anything other than deer with it so far. I use my 338 for bull elk, and the Barnes bullets have planted five of them so far. The Tikka 30-06 is used for pronghorn, whitetail deer, mule deer, and cow elk. I just use Core-lokt (165 gr.)for local...

    Elk Rifle

    My Bro in law and I bought the same rifle; his in 300WSM, and mine is a 30-06. He complained about the recoil, so he had it ported and upgraded the recoil pad. Both turned out to be real shooters with factory ammo. I do think that you will like it.

    White water

    Kabob; Much of my experience over 55 years of canoeing and then guiding was in the BWCA and Quetico parks. If this is what you meant by a trip to the boundary waters, I can share some possible routes with you. By August, some of the dangerous waters are now runnable, but many others are now...

    Looking fo “Moderate” terrain suggestions.

    Even a general elk tag in Wyoming for NR's will require at least 3 pts. I've hunted late season cow elk, and snowmobiled in the area near Cokeville, and there is quite a bit of steep country (Raymond Mts.). Much of the surrounding country isn't too bad, but that doesn't mean that the elk will...

    White water

    I can't call myself a river junkie, as my whitewater experience has mostly been during extended canoe trips. I've canoed over 3,000 miles in the US and Canada between 2011 and 2017, and have a 360 mile trip to the arctic ocean set up for this coming August. But, I did go on a 5 day whitewater...

    Who else is...

    That's why I'm limiting myself to only a couple hours per day and only 3-4 days per week. I am finishing some plaques for some friends for the deer shack and when I free up the shop space and clean up all the sawdust I may have to start working the weights again. My guns used to be bigger than...

    The Wild Game Eats Thread...

    Bear is one of those critters that needs to be well cooked because of parasites that they often carry. Bear has plenty of fat, but little marbling, so it still tends to be tough if you bake a roast or fry a steak to well done. It does make excellent burger when mixed with suet and cooked well...

    Venison burger with organs

    I do put the heart in when I make burger, making sure to cut the fat off of it first. We quit eating liver a number of years ago when liver flukes became common and one of the shack members did a horrible job of cooking it. Nothing less appealing than a burned liver that bleeds all over your...

    Who else is...

    I just realized last night that my hips haven't been aching at all for the last month or so. I had reluctantly given up running years ago because of arthritis in my hips and big toes. The pain has just shifted to my shoulders after I started a daily regimen of dead tree cutting, so purely from...

    draw weight ??????????????????????

    I've got an idea for you Kid that you could put together in your shop. 1. Wrap an exercise band onto a Yeti (or similar) type can cooler. Attach the other end of the band to the wall. 2. Insert the beverage of your choice. (I would suggest beer, otherwise why bother.) 3. Stand a measured...

    Region G

    I have never hunted G for deer, but did hunt late season cow elk 2X (Jan.) in the southern part of the unit. This past January I saw over 40 deer there, but understand that there was a rather severe winter kill. I deer hunted H this past Sept., not more than a few miles east of the Grey's...

    Hunting Fitness

    The only time I got hit one while running was about 30 years ago I was out in LA visiting family, and went for a jog around Echo Park. They were filming a movie there with Ernest Borganine and one of the cast members commented on how good I looked and asked if I was doing anything later. He...

    exotic animal

    I really don't think I should do that. First off, I don't want to bring too much recognition of my hot hunting spots. Then the government 3 letter agencies would want to send in hundreds of federal employees to do a study. And then I could expect a bunch of radical PETAphiles to show up on my...
