    September? WTF

    I got married on Oct. 6th, and will be in Greenland this October on a caribou hunt. It will be my 50th anniversary, so I may need to look for a place to spend the rest of the winter while I am over there.

    Who else is...

    I just returned from my WY cow elk hunt. Once again, I had to pay my dues to be successful. I'll do a write-up in the Wyoming section.

    Who else is...

    It seems that the years are starting to catch up with me. I worked on the local snowmobile trails on Monday and my body has been rebelling big time. I didn't hurt anything, but everything still hurts. But, endeavor to persevere....So I am headed back to Wyoming tomorrow to fill my cow tag...

    Recommended Day Pack

    The Eberle F1 mainframe is the most comfortable pack that I have ever used. I already had the "duffle" from the Just One pack, and add the batwings when needed. The only thing that I don't like is that the meat shelf doesn't allow for sitting down on a slope and comfortably leaning back on the...

    Youngest son

    My bud in Wyoming is a champion team roper. As far as rodeo goes, I'm sure that is about the safest event. But, he is on horses at the ranch all the time, and when I was last out there he was recovering from when his horse slipped and fell on him on a wet hillside. I used to ride horses on...

    Early winter in Minnesota.

    buckbull, I agree on your view about hot-tubs. But, that is a small price to pay to keep my wife happy while I am off hunting or fishing somewhere.

    Early winter in Minnesota.

    It's been a long week of plowing & shoveling with 40" of mostly heavy wet snow this past week. Things finally became somewhat manageable after I put tire chains. -20 this morning as an added bonus.

    How did everyone's hunt go this year is it what you expected and are you going to change your plans for next year?

    COV, way to go salvaging something out of a tough year. I like the photo perspective of the cow elk...it looks like he shot an eland. \ I finally downloaded some pics of my archery spike bull. Public land, 2 1/2 hours back on horses. My plan was to camp out for a week solo, but it all...

    New Ranger

    I have almost 5,000 miles on my 2015 Ranger, and other than normal maintenance and new tires, have had no problems with it. I would upgrade to a new model, but the $$$$$ have held me off of making the move. I am sure that you will have plenty of opportunities to use and appreciate the new...

    How did everyone's hunt go this year is it what you expected and are you going to change your plans for next year?

    I was planning to head back to Wyoming to use my cow tag, but it looks like I would spend too much time holed up in a motel, stuck in a ditch, or idling on the highway because of closed roads. Pretty much the entire route is getting blasted, and they're predicting 12" or more snow where I live...

    Finished off my season

    Way to go IKIC. It looks like that old boy was a real brawler.

    .243 Bullet Question

    Looks like I'm late for the party. I found a full box of Sierra Game King .243 boat-tail 90 gr. Plus a box of 85 gr. FMJ to play with. Sounds like you are good, but I no longer have a .243 so they are just ballast at this point. Anyone wants them then let me know.

    Something to Think About because of Dec 7

    I'm doing my part holding the line on the northern border. There's not much more than 130 miles of woods, swamps, and lakes between me and Canada. I've got Minnesota covered, and it looks like idcwby and kidoggy have Idaho.

    12 GA trap ammo

    I'm in the same boat with brass ammo. I had stockpiled 556 and 7.62 ammo in anticipation on an ammo ban for "black rifles", I have plenty but don't want to shoot up what I have.. replacements are available again, but at a much higher cost. 30-06 Rem. Core-Lokt was cheap and I stocked up when...

    How did everyone's hunt go this year is it what you expected and are you going to change your plans for next year?

    I spent 6 weeks hunting & fishing in WY over Sept./Oct. I was able to arrow a spike bull with my GEN tag, then went on to hit a number of remote lakes and caught 4 new species of fish. The orange army came out for the rifle opener and that affected my cow hunt, but will be going back in Dec...

    12 GA trap ammo

    As a high school trap team coach, we are able to lock in on trap loads for the team, but still have to shop around for ourselves. I'm not a high volume shooter, but still go thru 3+ cases a year. I used to get Federal Top Gun trap at Walmart for $5.59 a box, but those days will likely never...

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    We finally got rid of the family drama after convincing my Hippie brother to stop bringing politics into every discussion and family get together. So, we just had a great Thanksgiving with all my family that still lives close. Mnhoundman; you can thank me for the Viking's win, because...

    Got it done!!

    That's weird; Did you even notice that while you were doing all the counting? It looks like you had a great experience with the proper reward at the end. As it should be.

    2022 Whitetail Success Thread!

    That's a real bruiser. Those "swamp bucks" don't always have the biggest racks, but they sure do grow big. This one does have some great headgear tho.
