This is the part I hate...on the way from Dove Creek, Co to Monticelo, Ut yesterday am. 12 degrees and 25 mph wind!

I started shooting big game rifles when I was 12 (I am 77 now). My Dad owned a gun shop and he and all of his friends reloaded. My first deer rifle was a military surplus 03 Springfield (30-06). Back in the early 50's you could by one for about 12 to 15 dollars from the NRA. Everyone sporterized...

We even do Cowboy Action shooting in the snow!:cool:

Late November 2015 4th season Colorado. Got down to 5 degrees the night before opening, wind blew like hell and snowed about 2". Blew away my portable popup picnic cover. Had fun....tons of deer!

Picture 1 is a Kokanee; 2 is a Rainbow & 3 is a Brown. All caught at our local lakes.....when the water is good!

Saw the 2018 post and thought we should start a 2019 season post. My wife and I will be in Alaska for a month, mid May to Mid June. Have already booked several salmon/halibut trips and a razor clam trip during a minus tide. AKaviator will be on our salmon/halibut trips. It will be great to see...

It does shoot! I built the stock also.

Well I finally did it......! I got rid of my flip phone and got a new IPhone Apple 10. Man did I jump into some deep water. Actually not as bad as I thought. My wife and I are spending a month in Alaska and I need to get email, have internet access and facebook. I have a tablet, but would...

Even tho it might be considered "overbore", with todays powders you should be able to get a lot more barrel life out of the gun. I shoot a .220 Ackley Improved Swift that a built about 10 years ago. I don't know for sure how many rounds have gone thru the barrel (Shilen Match SS), probably...

Just got a new Fishing Catalog from Cabelas/BassPro. It has a large Bass Pro logo on the top half of the cover and a really small Cabelas lower on the cover. Won't be too long and the Cabelas name will disappear. Bet there is a plan on Johnnie's desk on how to rebadge all the Cabelas stores! LOL...

One bullet I would definitely NOT use is a Nosler Ballistic Tip. Here is a picture of ant antelope with a destroyed shoulder on an entrance wound. My .257 Wby with a 115 gr BT Nosler.

This morning for breakfast I cooked the last of my deer meat Chorizo. It was great. For dinner I chicken fried some antelope backstrap. It was great too. Couldn't ask for a better day.;)

Merry Christmas from Colorful Colorado! More snow coming tonight.

Our local shooting club belongs to SCI because they give us range improvement grants almost every year. I was thumbing thru SCI's latest magazine "Safari" and saw this ad for Whitetail hunting. It is obviously a breeding farm that sells it's animals for people to shoot. Notice I avoided any...

I have never seen any Chukkars when I'm antelope hunting. I have seen plenty of huns, but all on private around hay fields. I would definitely hunt the units with more public (like 73) for does. I hunted a unit near 73 this year and 3 of us got 6 does in 3 days. Real easy hunt. It will also...

Here ya go!

Got about 5" of heavy, wet snow last night and this morning. I just finished plowing my road out to the county road. Really a lot of moisture in it. 2 weeks too late for my 4th season tag.....wouldn't you know it!

If you could get a tag for either Unit 1,2,10 or 201, which would you prefer and why? Just a little background for some research I'm doing.

Had a mule deer fawn like it around my place 2 years ago, didn't survive the winter. Found it dead in a hay field.

I want to wish all my hunting pards who are veterans a Happy Veterans Day. Without your service, the freedoms which we enjoy every day would not be possible. From a fellow veteran....50% disabled.
