    Monsoons in SW Colorado

    Yesterday and last night was the first day and night in 2 weeks that we havn't had any rain. 10 miles away...yes, but here no.

    Preferred cartridge? Grip and grin pic added

    Good choice. If you sight your rifle 1" to 2" high at 100 yds, it will shoot an animal at 300 yds without adjusting your aiming point.

    There are several that are close as Jim mentioned. When I started shooting 25-06 there were no factory loads for it as it was a wildcat caliber

    Preferred cartridge? Grip and grin pic added

    I agree on Jim for the caliber....25-06. I have been shooting it since is was a wildcat back in the 50"s , called .25 Neider back then. I have a Ruger M77 (1970's vintage, tang safety) topped with a Leupold VXlll 4x14 with ballistic turrets to match my loads. I shoot 117 Sierra boat tails. I...

    What is trophy hunting article... Thoughts?

    Good read that I agree with in most cases. The only exception I take is with the statement "today's trend of only valuing hunting as a means of food provision places us dangerously close to reliving a past where the future of North American wild game was bleak". With today's game management...

    Monsoons in SW Colorado

    Just got home from my shooting club meeting and skies are clear east of me. The La Plata Mts are between us and Durango and are just over 12,000'. They have snow on them! It has stormed every afternoon for the last couple of weeks and has been pretty cool for the last 2 days (for this time of...

    Which One Would You Shoot?

    Only killed a couple of Texas whitetails and they are runts compared to this big boy. As I have lots of very respectable mulies, I take this whitetail in a heartbeat.

    Which One Would You Shoot?

    The mule deer buck has a tremendous amount of character, lots of great nontypical stuff. No question....the mulie for sure!

    Wyo Task Force - Nonres Comments!

    I hunted in north central BC. We took a jet boat up the Toad River to the camp. Horseback hunted every day. Was a great hunt, hunted with my Dad and Grandfather.

    Wyo Task Force - Nonres Comments!

    Some of you that really want to hunt moose and don't want to wait a lot of years for a stateside hunt should check out BC and Alberta. Their hunts really arn't that expensive when you compare them to a guided hunt in in the lower 48. I've been on 2 and both were great. It's been a long time ago...

    I just got some pictures on Facebook that were taken near Gateway (south of Grand Junction). They got over an inch of rain in less than 1 hour. Unreal the water coming down.

    Reloading Supplies

    Kids Getting ready!

    I would be a little careful with the dry firing. The firing pin can be weakened impacting on the inside of the bolt because of an empty chamber. I use snap caps on every gun I practice with during dry firing. I competition shoot in several different shooting sports and dry fire a lot. You can...

    Oregon Trying to Ban Hunting

    Anyone heard anything about the status of the initiative? A friend I just talked to thought it had enough signatures to get on the ballot. Hope it doesn't go the way of the wolf vote here in Colorado.

    Not a single antelope tag

    Cashing in points and winter kill. The 2 units I and my friends have been hunting for antelope for 40 years has been hit pretty hard with winter kills. We usually draw buck tags every 2 to 4 years and in the years we don't have enough points to draw buck tags, we usually apply for as couple of...

    HR 3960

    Firearms are only a portion of their charter. Alcohol and tobacco probably have as much business as guns. I think firearms should be separated and stand on it's own. It will never go away IMHO!
