I see the California Secretary of State has certified a ballot measure for the November ballot splitting California into 3 states....California, Northern California & Southern California. IMHO it has no chance of ever going into effect even if it is voted in. In the 1850 a measure splitting...

In addition to the big fire going north of Durango near Purgatory Ski Resort, another one started yesterday near the headwaters of bear Creek. It is in the Gold Run/WindyGap area. I live about 20 miles sw of there and it is smoky as hell here. The smell woke me up tonight. Everything is so dry...

I didn't get to the meeting yesterday, but my neighbor (who is a State Park Ranger) did. The subject of the huge spike in applicants for Sheep, Moos & Goat tags and the pref point impact had a lot of discussion. The Commission directed the P & W Director to put together a report on this. My...

This picture must have been taken close to the tornado....LOL!

These are from last year. Rainbows & Kokanee fishing is great. Hope this year will be too, even with less water. Lower water= more concentration of the fish LOL

Wife and I went to Durango yesterday to Ft. Lewis College. Man it was smoky, hard to breath. Last week we went to Vallecito Res to look at the lake level as we are going there in a couple of weeks camping and fishing with friends from Calif. Lake is really low. Snowpack was less than 50% of...

I built the thumbhole stock on the .220, completely refinished the Wby stock. The maple stock on the Springfield I built about 60 years ago, lots of character (dents & scratches). The rifle is a sporterized military 1903 Springfield built in 1927, still shoots sub moa.groups. I taken moose...

I am cleaning our a file cab and I have a bunch of Eastman's Hunting Journals. they start issue 114 - Aug/Sept. 2009. If anyone collects them , let me know and I'll give you details of how many and whatever else you want to know. Just pay the postage and first "I want them", gets them. If no...

Went to run an errand this am and my truck had a flat left rear tire. Aired it up and went to Big O Tires in town. They found a screw in it. Fixed it an when I started to pay, the manage said "No Charge". I asked why...said he saw my Disabled Vet license plate, so the fix was free. THANK YOU BIG...

Here are a couple of pictures of the 2 x2 mount I have. I shot this buck in 1969 in California's High Sierra not to far from Mammoth Mountain. He was with 2 other bucks as big as him. They ran into a thicket of brush and I shot the first one to come out. I never knew he was a 2x2 until I...

I have been buying points since Wy started selling them for NRs. I have 12 for deer and spent them all on a special deer tag for my favorite unit. Probably will be the last time for me to hunt deer in it as I'm 77 now and don't think I'll be able to accumulate enough to hunt it again. I also...

I was looking in the Wyoming regs on OHVs for their rules concerning cased/secured guns or bows like Colorado has. I don't remember that I had to have my rifle in a zippered or hard case and completely unloaded the last time I hunted in Wyoming. Nothing in the new regs that I could find. Anybody...

I got a laugh out of this!

My best bucks all come from California. Check out "My Profile" and the album "High Sierra Deer". Best is a 178 non typical which I shot in 1963 and is not with the others. I'll have to dig into my old pictures for it. This is a 5x5 buck (probably in the high 160's, never measured it) taken in...

Just saw a press release that Yeti has cut all ties with the NRA. I don't own any, but sure as hell won't buy anything with the Yeti label on it now. Too many other products out there that do a great job for a lot less money!

I was wondering how much practice and or shooting everyone does. I am a firm believer in practice, dry firing and popping primers! I shoot competitively a couple of time a month (Cowboy Action), usually shoot trap once a month and shoot twice a week (Nov thru March) in a Bulls Eye Pistol...

Primers look fine to me. How does the .308 group with the hotter load? I would shoot the hottest load that groups the best and does not show signs of excessive pressure. Looks like your going to have to find what the .270 likes. I have found that sometimes even 1/2 grain above or below will...

Next weekend our rifle/pistol club is having their annual Gun Show. I am sharing a table with my son. I want a new concealed carry gun, so I'm selling my old one. Also have a couple of shotguns, a derringer and some misc. stuff. My son is getting rid of a couple of Browning Superposed O/Us, M1A1...

I really have more than just a bench. I built a 15 x 30 room on the back of the Garage. I do all my reloading, gun cleaning and minor gun repair there. I also have a big wardrobe to store all my hunting clothes in and an office desk. My wife also has a potting bench and keeps her gardening...
