Been doing the Christmas Card thing and thought I'd wish everyone a Merry Christmas. Happy New Years are in the offing too. Notice I said years.... I am in the process of firming up my 2014 Elk hunting plans. I already have a wilderness hunt for Deer in 2013 set up in my old stomping grounds in...

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...

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...

I just ordered some seasonings from HiMountain Seasonings (advertiser in EHJ). Anybody use them? If so what do you use on what type of meat?

Finally got the picture of the entry of the bullet on the doe. Really wiped out the shoulder.

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...

Looks like I'm not going to get to fill my M/L elk tag! Just got a call from my sister in California and my 94 year old Dad is pretty sick, might not make it. I am flying out tomorrow and don't know when I'll get back. Hope everything get settled and I can still get my Wyoming & Colorado...

Just got back from the range, it was cloudy, rained a little and cool. I took out the .257 Wby and my sporterized 03 Springfield 30-06. 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...

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?

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...

For those of you that are planning on hunting the San Juan NF area......It looks like the monsoons have really started. For the past week of so we have had rain almost every afternoon/evening. It is a welcome change to the hot, dry early summer/late spring we had. Temps are back to near...

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...

Just got my mail and got my Co. Antelope tag. Knew I had been drawn, but still nice to get the tag. After 12 points and 12 years waiting. Unit 003 Buck tag. One of the best areas in the state IMHO.:)

Here is a picture of a friend of mine and a buck he killed in 2011 in D17. He is pretty close to the vest on his spots and usually sees lots of bucks, but doesn't shoot many. Always looking for the "Big One".

I don't know how many of you subscribe and/or read any of the various publications put out by various states G & F Depts. I subscribe to Wyoming Wildlife and Colorado Outdoors which are really great publications. I submitted a Feedback letter to WW last November and it finally got published in...

Anyone know if Wyoming has a "back door" to their draw results like Colorado does?

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...

Just got back from the range. Shot the new Wby 257 mag and my 220 Ackley Imp Swift. Swift chronos a little over 4ooo fps. It is a custom I built a few years ago, did the stock work myself. Has a 6 x 20 Leupold on top. The Wby shot real good, chrono 3200 with factory 120 grs. The 3 shot group is...

Guess I'm going to be able to get to the range Tuesday and try my new .257 Wby. I am going to take my chrono and see what It will do with some factory stuff that came with it before I load up some reloads. I'll have something to compare my stuff to. I need to see how I like the scope too. It...

Don't know how many of you have Concealed Carry Permits, but I do and this effects me! :mad:New Mexico's new Director of Public Safety has changed the rules of NM's CC Permit. It no long will recognize 17 states permits that were previously OK in NM. I for one, will be limiting my travel to NM...
