    How many rounds of ammo to take?

    Personally I don't think there is really "one gun" suits all, Sure you can kill anything with a 30-06 with the right shot placement and I think it comes closer to my definition of one gun than anything else. If I had to pick one gun it would be it with my handloads.l I just can't see shooting...

    For the Hunting Handloader

    Military was sealed and still might be. When I was young and my Dad started reloading, he used to get a lot of surplus WWII brass. I remember he used to cuss about how hard it was to get the primers out. They were staked in and sealed. Don't know about todays stuff because I don't use it. I only...

    For the Hunting Handloader

    No...never have in over 60 years reloading. I also do not and never have lived anywhere where there is high humidity. I have shot stuff I loaded many years before with no problems. I did have a problem with some .38 Special loads I shoot for Bulls Eye. They got wet and would not go bang. But it...

    WY Grizzly Attack Injures Hunter

    I watched the video and missed that. Sure looks like something is wrong with the paw or leg.

    Probably too young to make it on their own.

    How many rounds of ammo to take?

    I do pretty much the same. I use a "Trigger Stick".

    Colorado Waterfowl 21/22

    Down here in the SW part of Colorado I have seen almost every kind of duck. Some are not as plentiful, but we have tons of Mallards year round. The 3 varieties of Teal, Widgeon, Gadwalls and a few Pintails. All of the divers on the local lakes. Lots of Canadas year round. I have seen a few snows...

    How many rounds of ammo to take?

    Winchester is spot on. There is absolutely no substitute for rounds down range. The current ammo shortage is another reason to reload. Tailoring a load to your own rifle is not the only benefit as everyone can see with todays ammunition situation.

    2021 Hunting Success Thread

    It was a great trip, saw tons of antelope(more then I saw 5 years ago when I drew there) and a pretty fair amount of shooter bucks. We had a great time, even with a few weather complications to start the trip. Hope our deer and elk trip is as good as this was. T hanks to Winchester for inviting...

    How many rounds of ammo to take?

    In the field I have what's in the stretch sleeve that fits on the rear of the stock, it holds 9 nine rounds and what's in the gun, usually 4 or 5 depending on what gun I am using.

    How many rounds of ammo to take?

    Like everyone else, I always take at least 2 boxes (40 rounds). Like Hilltop said....too many things can happen. I have taken at least 25 backcountry wilderness horseback hunts and it's too damn far to head back to civilization for ammo. I usually always take a spear rifle if possible too.

    2021 WY Quality

    In the area that I hunt in central Wyo, I have seen a general decline in antelope numbers in the last 5 years. In prior years a hunter could get quite a few type 6 (doe/fawn) tags, up to 5 or 6 in some years. The last couple of years, there have been none. I am sure this, along with more...

    Sighting in your rifle

    No matter what scope is on the rifle (mine are all variable power), I crank them up to max while sighting in. Remember to change the power back after the shooting session. I am a member in a gun club that has an excellent range. I set up the bench so I am really comfortable, my rifle supports (...
