    Favorite mule deer bullet?

    I have shot Sierra bullets almost exclusively for over 50 years and have never had a problem. Did you contact them and talk to the about your problem? When they were still in southern California, I went to their factory and headquarters and talked to them several times. They were very helpful...

    Monsoons Have Started.

    It has rained everyday since I made the original post. We got over 1" on Sunday night! There has been some flooding and roads washed out near Telluride. Hope we get some more before fall gets here, the mts were pretty dry the last time I was there a month ago.

    NEWS RELEASE: P&Y Changes Policy on Velvet Animals

    I remember the first buck deer I got that was in the velvet. I was probably 18 or 19 at the time. I striped all the velvet off, washed the blood off and used light brown wax shoe polish to finish off the horns. They were pretty ugly!!

    Picked up some land

    Not like when I was a youngster. I lived in a suburb of LA (Downey) and we used to drive 1/2 hour to 3/4 hr and hunt deer, quail, pheasants and rabbits. It's all houses and malls now. My Dad killed tons of deer in Malibu where we had 10 acres of land. Fishing in the ocear used to be outstanding...

    Picked up some land

    It was a great place to live in the 40's thru the about 1980. I was born there and lived there until I was 58 and retired to Colorado in 2000. I am a 4th generation Californio. I had a great career there. But it just got to liberal to suit me. Used to be some great hunting and fishing there.

    Picked up some land

    We are going to Austin, Nv probably in Sept to look at 10 acres. It is part of the old homestead my GGGrandfather had in the 1880's. It has part of the old stone cabin he built on the original 160 acres.

    Leupold CDS suggestions

    I have the CDS Turrets on all my rifles. In my opinion, if you are shooting 500 yards or less, you are not going to really see much difference. At extreme ranges , I don't know because I don't shoot beyond 500 yds.

    Magazine restrictions?

    Just looked at the regs and found nothing pertaining to magazines. Only calibers allowed. I\The regs say mention that firearms that are legal on your homestate are also legal in Wy. I would call them for sure.

    Favorite mule deer bullet?

    I use Reloader 25 in my Wby. But my Weatherby is not a factory rifle. A friend of my Dad's got too old to hunt and gave me the rifle. It was bought from a custom smith in the early 60's. It has a commercial Mauser action. When I got it the barrel was gone so I rebarreled it with a Shilen...
