    Hi Mountain Seasonings

    Had some of my breakfast sausage this am, it was fantastic! I used their Prairie Sage seasoning along with a 60/40 mixture of antelope (60%) and pork shoulder roast. Used the course grind setup and then vacume packed it. Really came out great, not too spicy (according to my wife who is not into...

    Early Birthday Present

    My birthday is next week and I casually mentioned to my wife that there was a book I would like if she was inclined to get me a gift. (We usually just exchange cards or do something special). I wanted "HUNTING THE AMERICAN WEST" by Richard Rattenbury. I saw it on the newsletter I get from the...

    Nosler Ballistic Tip Bullets

    Just returned from an Antelope hunt in wyoming and am looking for anyone else who has used these bullets. They really shoot great on paper in my 25-06 and .257 Wby Mag, with the right load, less than minute of angle. In my .25-06 I used 100 grainers and in the Wby 115s. The bullets just exploded...

I just added a new scope to the Springfield and wanted to sight it in. Scope is a Leupold VXIII 3.5 x 10 40 mm AO. Gun shoots really great. I tried something...

    Ballistics Computer Program

    I was at the range today and was talking to another guy shooting and we got to talking about reloading. He uses a computer program (think he bought it) to work up his loads. I use my trust reloading manuals. Anybody use one of these programs? If so which one and how do you like it?

    Thor .50 cal. M/L Bullets- Anyone want some?

    I have 44 Thor 250 grain, .502 dia M/L bullets that are not the right size for my M/L. I guess I screwed up and ordered the wrong size....too big. If you can use them, they are yours for the postage. Send me a PM where to send them and when you get them just send me a check for the postage on...

    High Country Conditions

    Just got back from a trip to the area that I will be hunting in Sept (M/L cow tag). I was very surprised at the condition of the area. Lots of very green, lush grass and lots of water everywhere. The area is a little over 10K elevation. The areas down near 8K are definately a lot drier. Saw lots...

    Length of Season-Wyoming Unit 74

    Looks like 74 opens September 15th. Does anyone remember if this is a 30 day season. Usually they are and close just before Deer season opens. Unit 90 (Deer unit that 74 is in) opens Oct. 1. I am hoping Antelope closes in 74 somewhere after the 6th of Oct. Seems like I remember hunting it...
