    6.5 and 7 PRC, what are your thoughts?

    The gun continues to really impress. We are still in the break in process so it isn't up to full barrel speed yet. Once that is done and the speeds settle in, I will fine tune our adjustments. That is the reason the below group is below center. We also had a very light left to right wind...

    BLM Ordered to Implement Corner Crossing

    He seemed to make it pretty clear that, at least to me, that this ruling sets precedent. Has anyone reached out to any CAs to get their take on it and/or how they plan to handle future landowner complaints?

    unit 65 antelope wyo

    If I had the tag, I would start with the BLM roads Northwest of Sweetwater Station, off of HWY 287. Like others have said, plenty of ways into the area and tons of public land. Winter kill will be worse the further south you get in the area so I would focus on the Northern parts of the area...

    6.5 and 7 PRC, what are your thoughts?

    I have had the if it isn't broken, don't fix it mentality most of my life. It has kept me from some good things and has definitely helped me avoid some scams. The past few years I have given more of the new stuff a chance. After a lot of my own research, I do believe there are some...

    2023 Antelope/Deer and Resident Elk Results Available

    I think a lot of people that were holding out for a premium areas decided it wasn't worth it after the winter kill. I have heard from quite a few guys who just wanted to cash in their points and be done.

    It's May, but feels like August!

    Could send some my way in Nebraska. We have been extremely dry. All of our marshes are dried up with no rain in the forecast.

    Elk General tag

    You have a few options imo. #1- You can apply regular and let them apply special- good chance you all draw next year. #2- You guys make an agreement to go on two elk hunts. Once for you next year and again when the other two guys draw in a few years. Agree to help each other and split...

    2023 FISHING THREAD

    Took a few kids out yesterday morning. They caught 60-70 crappie as well as the occasional non-target fish. We only kept 22 big ones and a couple of white perch a young kid wanted to keep. My niece would rather fish than just about anything.
