No luck on the cow tag. I decided to throw some money back at WY and apply for a G deer tag with zero pts. What they hey at least there is a 3-4% chance for a random draw.

Congrats OObuck....another swing and a miss for me. Same thing on the WY cow elk draw.

I expect to be heading to CO with a cow elk tag in my pocket this year in a unit that takes 0-1 pt. I have 2 pts. so should be good. I hunted that unit with two friends in 2008, and they have been building pts. (with a few missed years) since then while I have been hunting every year. The...

WOW! Great find. As the line from "Escanaba in the Moonlight" goes......"Anything free is worth saving up for."

I gas up at a lot of truck stops while traveling, and even knowing that the truck drivers have to pass a "health test", I would guess than many of them are in the high risk category. I know that I couldn't spend the time that they do every working day of their lives without ending up weighing...

After the last .22 "shortage", I did just that and after the prices dropped I would buy one brick every few months. We used to shoot a lot, but not so much now, and found that I will likely never have to buy .22 shells again in my lifetime. I would like to shoot my .223/5.56 more, but will...

I find it odd that many are hyper-focused on reducing the weight of their rifle, some even getting to the sub-five pound weight, and then putting a mega-scope on top. There are advantages and trade-offs for everything you do. JimP covered it pretty well, and I agree that a 1x-4x, or a fixed...

A funny thing about running, if you've never done it except to get out of the rain you always wonder why the hell people do it because all it does is get you tired, sore, and feeling crappy. But, give it a chance and the good feelings take over, to the point of having a "runner's high" that...

Marcus, How the hell do you do 2 to 5K on a couch? I may have chased a few girls around one a few times. but my wife doesn't even try to run anymore , so the sport went out of it.

I recently sold about 10,000 primers here on the forum, all for the normal retail price. I was fine with that, except that the shipping was far more expensive than anticipated and I had to lie to UPS about the contents. My only regret is that I didn't keep any small pistol primers as I was...

I've solo camped & hunted in Wyoming griz country, and have yet to have an encounter with anything other than black bears. I always carry the rifle and bear spray, and practice deployment of the spray. I have been charged by black bears 3X here in the woods and wilderness of NE Minnesota. All...

That giant mule deer in the high country is still on the top of my list. Thanks for the give-away.

There's a trickle out there now. I just got 200 rounds of 9mm fmj (Winchester) from Sportsman's Guide. $67 per hundred. That's more than it was last year, but not as high as Midway has their available ammo priced.

Good for you Marcus...go for it. I've only run a couple marathons, but have probably done the half distance hundreds of times while just running for the pure joy of it. Get a good pair of running shoes and replace them long before you think they are worn out and your knees will thank you. My...

Avoiding bathrooms is unavoidable when you are a 68 year old male. Wait for it....you'll see what I mean.

Keep up the good work. Those rucks are a real effective training technique, add weight to your pack and step up the pace when you reach a plateau.….keep on trucking.

You can combine the two and do "prison cell pushups". Of course you may have to get a few more tattoos afterwards.

And that little ring probably ended up costing you more than all of your hunting trips combined.

Over the last 12 years I have only bought points and applied for tags in WY and CO, primarily because they did not have a "qualifying license" requirement that was non-refundable even for just getting points. CO changed that a couple years ago, and 3 of us will be burning our points this year...

I had my annual physical at the VA on Friday. The doc told me that based on the numbers and exam it looks like I will live to 107. I got a shingles and pneumonia shot and on Saturday felt like absolute crap and as of today can still barely use one arm; what's up with that? Feelin a lot...
