I had chronograph the speed of the factory Weatherby ammo so I had a pretty good starting spot. I tried IMR 4831 but I couldn't get the speed without pressure signs. So I tried some RL22, that was the magic load. But with RL22 being a little bit temperature sensitive I did all my load testing...

Between the two seasons I would always pick the later one. You have more of a chance to actually find a better buck as they are moving down. I know that last year 2nd season out in unit 21 was a bust for a lot. The deer had just started to move into in and down lower. I never did hear...

That's where people need to play around with loads, to find what works best. When I was first sighting in my, 340 I had some factory Weatherby Barnes 225 X bullets and after the first 5 shots with them I looked at the target and thought that I had a couple of fliers but it was still a tight...

Good thing that the only apple that I have is in the fruit bowl

There are quite a few like that. I have received PM's from members who have been around for a long time with zero post. I wish that there was a way to see the number of PM's that they have sent out looking for information

I have a bunch of calls on my caller ID that says Unavailable. Is that you Scott?

It really doesn't take much to take down a mule deer. The skin is thin and while the shoulder bone is heavy just about any bullet made will punch through it. I personally like controlled expansion bullets as you can see from the above post.

I keep it easy with whatever I am shooting. One bullet one load. .25-06 a 100 grain Barnes TTSX 7 mm Rem Mag 140 grain Barnes TTSX .340 Weatherby 225 grain Barnes TTSX All those bullets have killed both elk and deer except for the .25-06 and I have only used it on deer.

The rifle is a Creedmore that is part of the Tag Hub drawing

I remember a couple of hunters from California that I ran into one February down in Arizona while I was hunting javelina. They were hunting quail with a couple of Britney's and said that they were not worried about snakes at that time of year. I looked at where they were running their dogs...

They'll be something left in Colorado just what is to be seen. I just looked and there is no link to what is left but it should be up quickly since the tags go on sale on the 4th. There will be at least one deer tag in Utah since my brother in law is going to turn his tag for the Manti in...

I had a person ask where I shot my coues that is in my avatar. I told him on Redemption Hill. A couple of weeks later he got back to me and told me that he couldn't find it. I told him that it was certainly there and that he just needed to look harder. I named that hill Redemption Hill...

If you are buying new trucks, going hunting every year, buying guns or whatever else you want and not paying your child support you are a dead beat. Everyone has problems that come up that are not under their control but I have see those that create their own problems and then expect the...

Is that in Big Buck Canyon?

As you know by their very actions a poacher will not follow the rules so they don't care. The only way that they are really tracked is if they get caught again and their information is ran through the system.

After I bought my .340 Weatherby I wondered how I ever killed a elk with any of the other rounds that I have killed them with. But for elk rounds you need to look at down range energy and not just the trajectory or speed. Where one bullet is going nice and fast but has no energy left and...

Some of the biggest bucks that I have seen during the summer are right downtown in the city along creek banks. They know where they are safe.
