I have several newer rifles that are fantastic, but my all time favorite is my Browning BLR .308. My dad bought it about the time I was born, I “borrowed” it my freshman year of college and have not returned it for over 20 years now. Fast handling, accurate, and it just “feels right” coming...

My Brother in law and I got a 16’x24’ last year, so far it’s been great. Very well made and have been very happy with it, it came with the angles and then we bought the pipe at Home Depot for the rest of the frame. Works perfect.

That system works well, I put it on my kids 243 this fall and shot targets with it out 400. If you can get a chronograph or a magneto speed it will make setting up much easier. Of course, all the deer my kids shot with it were less than 100 yards, but my 10 year old did use it to nail a...

Perhaps my original post sounded a bit whiny...I’m certainly not complaining about current opportunities - I’ve been buying points in most states for years and I have a ton of hunting options - from that aspect right now is a great time to be a western hunter! I was just asking if there is...

I guess it’s all in how you spin it! I guess as long as wolves don’t start spreading corona virus we’ll be ok.

Is there any good news in general for hunting the West? Seems like every article I have read the last couple years are the same, Declining opportunity due to the following: Wolves, bears, lions, the ever present killer cold winters caused by global warming/cooling/climate change, energy...

I read the write up in Top Rut, and it really seems like someone went on a crusade to fix a problem that didn’t really exist. Seems like the individual named in the article who pushed for this rule didn’t gain one tag for the resident pool, just took a little opportunity away from NR’s...what...

Got the 2020 regs in the mail today, surprised to see they’re opening up doe tags in the Gunnison basin already (Except unit 54). Deer numbers still seemed way off when I was up there last summer and during first rifle elk season. Most of the locals I spoke to seemed to think deer #’s are...

I’ll throw a little fuel on the fire just for conversation ...when non resident tags are eliminated, why wouldn’t “non residents” start advocating for transfer of federal land to states so they could sell it to private owners so it could be hunted...(I am not advocating that), just saying what...

My wife shot that one

Now that hunting season is over I guess I need to get to work. Between my two kids, wife and me I have a pretty good pile of horns accumulated from the last two years. Two of them are being shoulder mounted...the others I’ll put on plaques myself (the little elk will probably just get tacked...

Hopefully headed to Wyoming for elk, 3.25 points for our group on a general tag, I like our odds. Already gone cross eyed staring at harvest reports, OnX and google earth. Then hopefully a little luck with New Mexico deer and elk draws for the wife and kids.

I tried to convince my wife this morning that our son needs one...her eyes are still rolling but I think there’s a chance.

we thought it was pretty funny, most of our friends thought it was hilarious...feel free to share David

Our Christmas cards went out today, we had to make a separate list for folks who would appreciate the humor of this card and a boring one of us and the dog.

I shot this bull in Colorado back in October, tasty little guy!

My son’s first Mule Deer this past weekend, taken the day after his 10th birthday. He packed out about half the meat a mile back to the truck (two trips). Public land New Mexico. -David

Great bull! Congrats!

The one in the tree gives me the creeps! I’ve seen a whole lot of rattlers but never one in a tree...

I’ve tried eating them various ways...never has been good enough to be worth the effort. We come across them regularly and usually only kill them if they’re around buildings or our deer stands. This one was about 5 feet, which is probably average size down here.
