Tenderloins in the Wyoming Range. OOPS! All my file phots are "too large". Help.

I switched to a rear peep long ago. I learned to love them in the Marine Corps where we shot with peeps at 200 off-hand, 300 sitting, and 500 prone. I usually had the highest score in the company. But, that was 49 years ago. As far as the fouling shot....I don't know how other...

I spent some time this week at my range after setting up a new 150 yard target. I can tell that my biggest limiting factor will be my aging eyes, but I was satisfied with the load to settle on. The TC Omega, with 300 gr. Thor bullets (.501), 100 gr. 209 powder. I can keep every shot on the...

First week of archery season; heat is your enemy. Take your buds into the knarliest, steepest, buggiest country you can find in Wisc. Then have 250 lbs. of stuff laying around. Wait for an 80 degree day, hike your buds all over through the woods for 6-8 hours, then lead them to the stash and...

I ordered the citric acid kit from Caribou Gear when I bought some of their game bags a few years ago. (Great bags by the way). It was just a small packet of powder and a pump bottle that you mix before using. I used it 3X on different hunts, and only used it to keep flies off of the meat...

Seriously guys, the Hennessey hammock lets me have the best sleep I ever have outdoors. I have even strung it up in my loft at home when my back was bothering me. I guided canoe trips for 7 years, and including several extended personal trips have over 200 nights in it. I spend 4 nights while...

I use a hammock almost exclusively while on canoe trips, and it has been a real back saver for me. At 66, my biggest complaint is my arthritic back, but a night in the hammock makes it good for the next day. Do not compare a real camping hammock with the stick in your pocket or backyard...

I'm not a local, but have hunted in those areas for deer and elk four times. First off, be sure of the mindset and capabilities of your hunting partners. Especially if you backpack in to start your hunt, then all hunting stops once the first elk is down because it will take all hands to get it...

Thanks Scott for your intensity also; it's all good.

Update on the Valdres after a couple weeks of "pack training". The boots have become far more comfortable, with no hot spots. I rolled my ankle a couple different times while speed walking on a rough trail, and the boots saved me from any injury. As I add weight to the pack, I'll add hiking...

Appreciate all the opportunities here. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

What's the best exercise for lazy people? Diddley squats.

Thanks Kid. I am in serious need of a set of packable raingear for hunting. I have a set of Russell rain gear that I absolutely loved due to it's soft out camo and lightweight, but it failed miserably on a recent fishing trip to Canada. That Co. is no longer in business, so I have to bite the...

PERFEKT. I had the same issue when looking to replace my hikers. I finally bought a pair of Crispi boots, and after wearing them for a month, they still aren't as comfortable as the Meindl boots. I do have a new pair of the Meindl hunters that I will use for my hunts this year, but will...

Zowie Boys! Good for you, but I'm still hoping for me.

I spent a fair amount of time with my TC Omega after switching to BH209 powder and 300 gr. Thor bullets. I used a chronograph and my own range and I found that after 120 gr. of powder (by volume), the velocity increase was only moderate, and the recoil and blast was excessive. At a later...

WOW! Quite a fabulous promotion. Thanks SIG and Eastman's. I recently bought my first SIG product (P365), and have found a new favorite shooter.

Received both the MZL deer and elk tag.

You may not use a .22 for sage grouse in Wyoming. The .22 is legal for Huns and rabbits. Check the regs closely. I was out antelope doe hunting, and my younger partner and I had .22 handguns for rabbits and snakes (we got both). We saw some sage grouse, and almost had to tackle the guy to stop...

AAAAAAAAGH!!!! Even though I was a tech in the Marine Corps, that was over 40 years ago and some things have changed. (Just a little.) I don't like change either, and find that when I try to keep up to date it just sucks me in and I get really frustrated. However, I was able to update my...
