    Colorado Waterfowl 21/22

    Down here in the SW part of Colorado I have seen almost every kind of duck. Some are not as plentiful, but we have tons of Mallards year round. The 3 varieties of Teal, Widgeon, Gadwalls and a few Pintails. All of the divers on the local lakes. Lots of Canadas year round. I have seen a few snows...

    How many rounds of ammo to take?

    Winchester is spot on. There is absolutely no substitute for rounds down range. The current ammo shortage is another reason to reload. Tailoring a load to your own rifle is not the only benefit as everyone can see with todays ammunition situation.

    2021 Hunting Success Thread

    It was a great trip, saw tons of antelope(more then I saw 5 years ago when I drew there) and a pretty fair amount of shooter bucks. We had a great time, even with a few weather complications to start the trip. Hope our deer and elk trip is as good as this was. T hanks to Winchester for inviting...

    How many rounds of ammo to take?

    In the field I have what's in the stretch sleeve that fits on the rear of the stock, it holds 9 nine rounds and what's in the gun, usually 4 or 5 depending on what gun I am using.

    How many rounds of ammo to take?

    Like everyone else, I always take at least 2 boxes (40 rounds). Like Hilltop said....too many things can happen. I have taken at least 25 backcountry wilderness horseback hunts and it's too damn far to head back to civilization for ammo. I usually always take a spear rifle if possible too.

    2021 WY Quality

    In the area that I hunt in central Wyo, I have seen a general decline in antelope numbers in the last 5 years. In prior years a hunter could get quite a few type 6 (doe/fawn) tags, up to 5 or 6 in some years. The last couple of years, there have been none. I am sure this, along with more...

    Sighting in your rifle

    No matter what scope is on the rifle (mine are all variable power), I crank them up to max while sighting in. Remember to change the power back after the shooting session. I am a member in a gun club that has an excellent range. I set up the bench so I am really comfortable, my rifle supports (...

    Wyoming ORV/SXS/ATV use map info

    Wyoming's HMA Program is similar to Colorado's Ranching For Wildlife in the guidelines that the private property owners can set their own access rules.

    Dolores County Colorado Hunting Accident

    The only official statements are from the Dolores County Sheriffs Office and nothing said about that. Lots of comments and speculation out there tho.

    Dolores County Colorado Hunting Accident

    I completely agree that any hunter should know what he is going to shoot before he ever thinks about letting fly with a bullet or arrow. But the thing that really gets to me is that during gun season, archery hunters are not required to wear any orange. If the bow hunter that was killed had worn...

    Wyoming ORV/SXS/ATV use map info

    I have never had a problem driving on a 2 track anywhere in Wyoming. Just make sure you are not making your own new 2 track!. One time I had a Warden watch us with his binos while we were on a little used 2 track. We shot a couple of antelope and carried them to our ohv and turned around and...
