    Prepping For Africa 2022

    Just got my flight tickets, we're flying Qatar out of Dallas. I thought about flying out of Eagle but decided that Denver would be best for me. You never know what is going to happen with flights in and out of Eagle. I'll get a hotel in Denver both ways since my return flight gets in at 8pm and...

    Ammo

    Have to wash and rinse a piece of cloth after you used it to wipe off, that's sacrilege... I mentioned that to some friends who were unprepared last year when the TP shortage hit. You should of seen the look on the wife's face when I mentioned it. Perhaps I should of suggested that they save...

    Prepping For Africa 2022

    The second that I pulled the trigger I could call it off, just how far I didn't know until I looked. I try to go out in the mornings to get my shooting done. Even with it just getting into the 80's it gets a little warm out in that sun. Plus here in the mountains there usually isn't any...

    Opening Day? HMMMMM

    Here in Colorado I ignored opening day on the bow hunts. It starts just before Labor Day and I refuse to be out in the hills with all the other idiots. I would usually wait until the last week of the hunt near the end of September. Then you may have some snow to contend with but most of the...

    Prepping For Africa 2022

    I figured that I had better start getting prepped for my upcoming trip to South Africa in June of 2022. So knowing that my rifle that I am going to take had not been shot since I was there in 2015 and it had gone through 4 different airports since I had shot it I thought that I had better check...

    Possible Poached Mule Deer Buck Idaho

    If it wasn't for stupid people and Facebook..... The DWR usually has a pretty good case when they finally file charges. I like where they said that he had a lot more of a beard in the second photo than he did in the first.

    2021 draw results

    I've seen two tags pop up that I am interested in on the turn back list but I was too slow on the first one and couldn't get in touch with a friend for access on the second one. But if all else fails I can go hunting bears with my muzzle loader.

    Ruger No 1 .300 Weatherby

    That's going to be the fun thing with a new rifle, you have no idea if your loads that shot sub moa in that bolt action are going to even come close in that #1. One thing that I have learned with the Ruger #1 is that you almost have to full length resize the cases just for the simple reason...

    Dead Head

    But were those smiles for the fact that they may of been joking or were they smiling about what he would look like the following year?

    Preferred cartridge? Grip and grin pic added

    I agree with the problem with head shots, I too have witnessed way too many animals running around with their lower jaw blown off or flopping in the wind, knowing that the animal is going to die a slow death.

    There are also some forums out there that talk about how to increase accuracy with shims and such.

    Ruger No 1 .300 Weatherby

    I had mine tight enough that I didn't have to worry about it falling off at anytime. Then I would tighten it 1/8 turn at a time and watched the groups improve until they started to open back up and I then backed it off. Others have taken the fore end and lightly sanded some wood at the contact...

    Ruger No 1 .300 Weatherby

    Do you have a collet puller or the old fashion hammer type? When I found my light loads for my .340 a few months ago I pulled 40 rounds with the hammer style and it got old real quick. The nice thing was that I didn't damage any of the bullets and I reused all the powder.
