I was just going to ask what the hell that last critter was....I thought it was a gorilla with a facial deformity, but a baboon it is. Either way, it doesn't look like anything that I would ever want to go toe to toe with.

I haven't been exercising much after returning from a week long canoe trip. I got all the workouts that I needed then, but have been way too busy fixing stuff this past week. On the positive side, my garage floor repair project is a day after day workout that is finally showing positive...

I keep a battery powered impact wrench and sockets in my truck at all times. It sure makes changing a flat a lot easier. I have only used it on my snowmobile trailer during a trip so far, but is especially handy since the bed overhangs the wheels and using a tire iron or cross wrench is the...

It's an old folks game that is sort of modified tennis...fat people can play too. In retirement communities it has somewhat supplant shuffle-board. I have never played it, but it appears to at least get people out moving around and getting some exercise. I've never played the...

If you can't kill a critter with a rifle that "only" shoots MOA, the it is time to take up Pickle Ball. There's no bullseye on a bull or a buck.

You have a good looking family there Kid!

I did a short writeup on the General or elk link , but I'll update here too. I took the new Titan to WY, and managed to "screw up" my master plan by shooting a bull with it on the first day. It was a spike, but have learned to not pass on an opportunity when it is presented to you...

Is that a hole, or a bunch of holes in one spot? Mallard, I'm not calling you an A-hole. Pretty darn spot on in any case.

Commercial MJ dryer?

Two of us bought Tikka T3 rifles at the same time. I got the 30-06 while he bought a 300 WSM. My ammo was available anywhere and cheap ($18), while his was tough to find and over $50 a box. Now prices have gone up drastically and he had a hard time finding 300WSM.... Luckily he had saved the...

I was finally able to get out on the water between two Canada fishing trips. I dumped it the first two days that I tried to get in it, but finally learned how to shoe-horn myself into it. I have a ways to go before getting my sea-legs, and am far from comfortable enough to go out on Lake...

A grand slam of sheep will likely cost you a good $500 a pound. Excellent dining.

OTC as a resident doesn't hurt too bad, but even a general draw tag as a NR will usually end up costing more than buying beef. My recent tags in WY came to $727 for GEN elk, plus $208 for the points; $303 for the cow tag; $21.50 Conservation license; $75 archery lic. Total - $1334 Add...

Mallard; It's amazing how much green wood can shrink after it dries. I cut 20K bd, ft. of cedar, 10K of white spruce, 10K of white pine, 2K of yellow birch from my previous property. I skidded it all out with my 6x6 ATV, paid to have it sawed, then stickered it in my yard for at least a year...

Good to hear from you BC.....what have you been up to? MallardX2 - What kind of wood is that? Do you season it before you build with it?

The ice went out on my lake yesterday, so I hope to get her in the water soon. But, there is so much stuff that I have to do, and I am in the middle of a "broken stuff" epidemic.

BUZZ nailed it ref. shooting often and becoming very familiar with your rifle. I owned 3 Remington M700 rifles, all the mountain rifle version; .308, 7mm-08, and 243. My grandson is only 140 lbs, and has shot all of them, and I eventually gave him the 7mm-08 as that is the one that he...

Here's the bull that I shot in 2006. That outfitter hasn't posted any pics of bigger elk since then, so I guess that I was lucky. The year before he had clients shoot 3 bucks over 190" (he had the mounts that had just been returned by the taxi). The deer hunting has dropped way off since then.

Thank you Winchester. 2006 was my first guided elk hunt in CO. I hunted in unit 43, and also had a deer tag. My first DIY hunt in CO was in 1979, and my hunting partner and I just stopped at the F&G headQ in Denver and bought both OTC. The area that we hunted now requires max deer...

We used the point averaging on a guided elk hunt in WY in 2017. Two of us had more than enough pts. to draw, but 4 others had been getting points for a few years less and had never hunted out west before. I had done all the ground work, and we applied as a party, and burned all of our points...
