Some Pictures from cowboy shoots.

Just got back from a week in Chama, NM and did a little fishing and exploring in the Colorado high country just north of the NM state line. Snow almost all gone. Quakies are almost all infested with tent catapillers and lots old beetle kill. Everything else is really green and lush. Caught some...

Finally finished up almost a month of competative shooting......and I'm tired! 2 regional shoots in preparation for the state championships and finished up with another regional last weekend with everyone going to the world championships in New Mexico next weekend. I did pretty well considering...

I know this has been discussed at length previously, but I need to vent a little about my concerns on a TV program I watched this week (It was NOT Best of the West). It was elk hunting in Wyoming by a young teen with his Dad who is the show host. This was the boy's first elk hunt. He shot a nice...

This is Molly, my Lab that I had to put down yesterday. Old age finally got her, she was 14. Had her since she was a pup and trained her myself. She also naturally pointed when we hunt upland game. She was the most intelligent dog I ever had.

A week from today the draw results will be posted for Sheep & Goats. Hope I get lucky!!!

Whoopee...............UPS just delivered my new T/C Pro Hunter. This is really a big improvement over my old T/C Black Diamond. I can't wait to shoot it. First I am going to find out what size the barrel is with the Thor kit I have. Then might get to shoot it this week. Depends on the weather...

My local Rifle & Pistol Club puts on a 3 day Gun/Knife Show every year. It is this weekend. Started yesterday (Friday) and goes thru Sunday. We expanded it and now call it a Gun Show/Sportsman's Expo. Sold 250+ tables, opened at 5PM yesterday and closed at 9pm. Opens back up today at 9AM. I had...

We are having a really big 3 day gun show here this weekrnd and i'll be having a table selling lots of misc stuff and a few guns. Besides buying a new ML, I've always wanted a No 1 Ruger and think I might get one in .375 H & H. They also make one in 45-70. Just sayin......

I'm a big fan on of author C, J. Box who lives in Wyoming. His main subject is fictional Wy Game Warden Joe Pickett. I just finished reading his latest release BREAKING POINT. Was up till 2:00AM, just couldn't put it down. I've read all 13 and really enjoy them. I especially like them because he...

Been spending lots of time reloading in the last few weeks. Being a competition shooter, I go thru lots of ammo, literally hundreds of rounds a week, depending on how much I practice between shoots. My big shoot season is coming and once I get started with outside work after irrigation season...

Just got my computer back after having a really nasty new virus get into it. Have no idea where it came from. Its been called the FBI virus and none of the firewalls or protection programs can stop it. Really frustrating. Blocks your computer and asks for $300.00 from a credit card to unlock...

I was at the range yesterday testing some new loads for my 30-06. It really shot unbelievable! 3/4" groups at 100 yards. Not too bad for a 85 years old rifle! It is an 03 Springfield that my Grandfather got thru the NRA in 1950 for $10.00 (if I remember what he told me when he gave it to me)...

The recent explosion of anti gun bills here in Colorado and an article in the Denver Post got me thinking ....bad thing to do! The DP's article basically said that hunters don't support and belong to the NRA. I know lots of the participants on this forum are bow hunters and might not have any...

Now this is what I call a HOG!

Just got my Colorado Outdoors annual Pref Point edition today. Started checking some of the units I am saving points for and damn if they all didn't require more points than the years before. The antelope unit I want to hunt needed 12 last year, looks like it will be at least 13 this year. Same...

Finally got everything fixed, took me about an hour of screwing around. These are actually mostly off stuff I've shot. I have a couple of boxes of sheds in my loft that I didn't get down. Problem with a lot of sheds is that if they arn't from the last season, most arn't worth squat. Too much...

Got rid of my old (and I mean old) Garmin GPS and am considering a new one that I can load gps/topo maps via a chip instead of plugging in the unit to my computer. I am considering the new Montana 650T. Any one have one...if so how do you like it. I would also consider other GPS alternatives...

I have 2 35mm Konica Cameras with numerous lenses (wide angle, 75x250 zoom, 2x converter, filters) and used to take 100's of pictures evry trip I took. I have a couple of digitals now. No question about the ease of digital cameras and that is all I've used for a number of years. My question is...

It really has been a dry fall and winter so far here in SW Colorado..............until Friday! Started snowing early in the morning (woke up to about an inch) and it has not stopped. we have about 12" on the ground. I've shoveled snow Sat am & Sun am. Looks like it might be clearing some in the...
