First snow of the season last night. Won't last long as ground is still too warm.

UPDATE The first PT stint didn't seem to help. My Surgeon ordered a CT scan with contrast (injection of dye into the joint/muscle). It showed more extensive damage than expected. The rotator cuff was damaged more than he thought. If another surgery is done, he will do a reverse replacement. The...

Just looking at my number of posts....6000 is real close. I'm wasting too much time LOL That's only about 2 per day since I first posted 8 1/2 years ago, guess I'm not wasting as much as I thought...................

Many years ago when we were closing out the Space Shuttle work in So Cal and moving to Florida, I was recruited by EG &G who was the contractor running INEL (Idaho National Energy Laboratory) near Idaho Falls. I took a trip up there and really liked what I saw. They offered me an engineering...

All I can say is Wow! Great video and what a Moose.

Wow! That's a bummer.

Havn't been over here in awhile. Got to visit this thread more often!

Used all my Wyoming NR Deer points (13) this year and will not be applying for any more. Still will be in the antelope point game .

Glad you had a good time....congratulations.

We hunted the same unit last year that we hunted this year. 3 of us had 2 doe tags each. So the answer is yes. I really like to hunt the same unit I want to draw a buck tag in, as this provides a great opportunity to scout the area while you are hunting does.

My wife and I were up in the La Platas north of Mancos last weekend. Went up to Transfer Campground, over to Windy Gap, Gold Run/Bear Creek and home via Haycamp. There was about 2 to 3" of snow at Transfer, Windy Gap & Gold Run. Saw very few hunters and camps. Usually fairly crowded. I was up...

I divide his books into 2 groups: hunting/shooting and guns. If you Google Jack O'Conner you can find a complete list of his books. When I was growing up, my Dad discovered I had an eye problem, Ambliopia or Lazy Eye. I am naturally right handed and my right eye was effected. I was taught to...

Keith was a big caliber pistol guy. If I remember right, he either helped or was responsible for the development of the .44 mag. Always wore a big Stetson and smoked cigars. He was a real character, a lot different than the more conservative O'Conner.

I have a lot of Elmer Keith's stuff too, but it is all guns, reloading & shooting....no hunting. Jack O'Conner and Elmer Keith were both advocates for their style of shooting, very different from each other. Keith was a "bigger is better" shooter, O'Conner was Mr. .270. They were competitors...

No. I wish I had.

Old guys rock!

I have a custom .300 Wby (Commercial Mauser action, Shilen match SS barrel, B & C composite stock) that I built. It shoots sub moa groups out to 500 yds (furthest I've shot it). I too has a short throat (freebore). My elk/moose load is 86.5 gr of RE25 with Nosler 180 gr Partition bullets. It...

The only non hunting books are gun books. I got most of them thru Outdoor Life Book Club.

I know a lot of you are way too young to have grown up reading Jack O'Conner's columns in Outdoor Life magazine. I first read one of his stories while sitting in a barber shop in the early 50's and I was hooked. My mother gave me a subscription and I couldn't wait for it to arrive in the mail...

Nope. I have a swaro bino/rangefinder combo.
