    Draw Process Group

    I went to the CPW site and saw that there is an opening for a Wildlife Council County Representative. Our county has a public lands/recreation administrator who I have served on several areas (workshops, etc) who is really an outstanding guy. I let him know about the opening and he is going to...

    Monsoons

    Our late summer monsoons have started. Every afternoon for the last 4 days we have had thunderstorms, lightning and rain. Yesterdays was spectacular, tons on lightning and thunder with huge rain cells. Got almost 1/4 inch in a few minutes time. Archery hunters, come prepared!

    Hi from NorCal

    So where are you located in Northern Calif? I was born in So Cal (a 4th generation Californian) and lived there until I retired and moved to Colorado in 2000. Hunted lots of waterfowl at Tule lake.

    6.5 and 7 PRC, what are your thoughts?

    You are doing the right thing saving all the brass. Just think about all the new calibers that were introduced as the next greatest and don't exist anymore. I think the bullets might be in that category too. Stock up!

    6.5 and 7 PRC, what are your thoughts?

    When the short mags came out they were the hot thing for various reasons, not the least was all the hype because they were new and the gun companies spent a lot marketing them. No reason to think the same thing won't happen a few years down the road. Good reason to reload for sure!

    Broken Stuff

    I have one too. I also use it on the trailer leveling jacks. Sure a lot easier with one of these!

    Broken Stuff

    All the tire manufacturers say you should get rid of any tire older than 5 years. I say this is pure BS, just marketing so you will buy new tires faster. On my travel trailer (a 2012 Denali, 26' length) I put a set of Maxxii tires (4) in 2014. I keep a log on everything I do to it. I ran...

    Broken Stuff

    Just got home from a weeks fishing at Blue Mesa Res near Gunnison. 20 miles of road construction, really a mess! Punctured a trailer tire, had to have been a sharp rock. Luckily no damage to my trailer.

    2023 FISHING THREAD

    Just got home from Blue Mesa. Fishing was pretty poor. Lake has an algae bloom and surface temp pretty warm. All the Kokanee are deep (70 to 100'). We trolled and without downriggers , couldn't get deep enough. Fished some where the Gunnison River enters the lake and caught a few rainbows.

    Kids are so Innocent!

    I was going thru some old pictures when I came across this one. It is of my son, who was about 5 at the time. We were sitting drinking a brewski or 2 and my wife said "Look at Steve!" We all started laughing and I took the picture. Kids are so innocent when they are young. We used to go to...

    Preference points

    I bought deer and antelope points to go with the ones I already have. Probably have enough for 2024, but a lot depends on how many tags they issue. The units I hunt are all in the south central and south western part of Wy. These areas got hit pretty hard last winter.

    2023 FISHING THREAD
