    What to top my new rifle with

    I have 4 Leupolds with their Ballistic Turrets. All VXlll's, 2 4x14, 1 3x9 and a 6x20. I have shot them all out to 500 yards and all perform as I expected. No matter what range setting I use, they all shoot and return to different range settings with less than moa groups.

    What to top my new rifle with

    I have a Ruger M77 in 25-06 I bought in 1970 that has been my deer/antelope rifle since then. I have taken over 100 animals since then. I handload and use Sierra Gameking 117 gr BT's exclusively. I have had quite a few scopes on top of it. By far the best is my current one, a Leupold VXlll...

    remembering my hunting mentor

    My condolences to you and your family. I lost my Dad in 2012 and like you he was my mentor and taught me to be a good hunter and person. I miss him every day. We went elk hunting here in Colorado the last time in 2008 when Dad was 90 and he got his last elk.

    Leaning in for a kiss!

    Bucks starting to show up around here. Saw three nice 4x4's with all the does last evening on my place.

    Antelope success thread

    The "special Irrigated land" type 6 tags are explained in the regs. I hunted this type of tag near Farson one year. I also had to get landowner permission to hunt most of the area.

    Just got these back from the Taxidermist. These are from the ones we got this year and posted earlier. We traded him for the capes and paid him a little cash to boot.

    Fall Waterfowl Pics

    My Dad owned a duck club in Imperial Valley in California for 60 years (my Uncle & cousins still own and operate it). I hunted waterfowl since I was 8 or 9 years old......70 years! I still go back and hunt with them every year. I think the easiest ducks to decoy are Spoonies and Widgeon. The...

    For me the most beautiful duck is either a Drake Pintail or a Drake Cinnamon Teal.

    Moose Ribs

    On elk & moose, I prefer to keep the ribs. They are really good on the BarB!

    Sad story but a hell of a way to go.

    Similar story here in SW Colorado. An Oklahoma elk hunter in his 80's has disappeared and has not been found. He went missing in early October and still has not been found. A massive search has located no trace of him. It is pretty rugged country and he got separated from his partners.

    Back in the 50"s my Dad took me to several outdoor shows where Fred Bear put on a program. I remember thinking "that guy has some huge cajones". I also remember that he said he always had a guide backing him up with a rifle. I remember he said that he took a seal skin and wrapped up in it and...

    Eastman's Click Bait- National Elk Refuge To Starve Elk

    Sorry....I don't see anything wrong with the story. Seems to me everything Mike said is true, especially about the environmental & anti-hunting groups. If the feeding is stopped, there is no doubt in my mind that there will be "many elk starve to death". I'm not afraid to say it.
