    St. Louis MO

    Been offered a new "opportunity" so it looks like I get to move back to MO this summer. Haven't lived there since 2006 when I lived North of KC for 4 years. This time I'll be on the other side of the state in St. Louis. Anyone familiar with the area and have any info to share?

    new Federal muzzleloader bullet

    I'm pretty sure this is a new bullet as I have not seen it anywhere until I came across it last night. Anyone seen this new Federal Premium bullet? Would this be legal in Colorado? http://www.federalpremium.com/products/muzzle_loading.aspx

    What a fun Colorado 1st rifle season elk hunt.

    Here is a few more pics. Thanks again to all how provided tips and encouragement. It was a fun time. Lots of other hunters. So at times I felt like I was in a pumpkin patch, but I still had a great time. Even after the 3 packouts of over 3 miles to get my elk out.

    What a fun Colorado 1st rifle season elk hunt.

    I made it back! What a fun time. I experienced all 4 seasons in the 8 days I was in Colorado. Of our party of 6 I was the lucky one to pull the trigger on a fine 5x5 bull. I wish some of the pictures were better, but it's tough getting a good picture by yourself. Saw plenty of animals and...

    Should I scout right before season

    In 12 days I leave for my 1st season Colorado rifle hunt. I'll be arriving 2 days before season opens. This will be a rifle hunt that requires a draw, but might as well be a general hunt as there was left over tags at the end of the draw. We've hunted this area before, but during muzzleloader...

    Backpack fit and setup

    I've packed with a 40lb pack or so before but nothing heavier and not while hunting. This year I am planning to pack in for a 1-2 night hunt if plan A doesn't work. So, I've been trying to test out a Stone Glacier Terminus that I'm planning to use and wanted to get feedback on if what I am...

    pp.

    I stand corrected. It is 10 years now. They must have recently changed it as I had some bear points I let lapse for 3 years ending in 2011 and I no longer have them. This is from page 7 of the 2014 regulation book.

    Replacement stock for a remington 788 6mm

    Recently I was given my grandfathers Remington 788. I shot it yesterday and it still shoots great. 15 rounds at 100 yds all in the same 1x1 square!!!!!! I hate to risk screwing up a good thing, but the stock on this gun is in pretty bad shape. No cracks, but ugly otherwise. Any recommendations...
