Its probably old news to most, but I seen some of the Eastmans' TV shows are on Amazon. Last night I watched a couple with the kids. They're well done. Nice way to spend those cold winter nights in anticipation of next season! Regards, Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337Z using Tapatalk

Does everyone have their pencils sharpened for the upcoming draws?[emoji2] How much importance do you place on the success rate for a unit you're interested in? I think for me, my mindset is changing. I used to look at those numbers with a lot of interest, but after a few trips out west under...

My only experience is using Accurate 4350. 😉 And its limited to one load I developed and used back in 2014 using 140 gr bullets. It was the only powder my local shop had on the shelf. It worked, but I can't leave well enough alone. I have read RE-19 is the 'one'. What powder is working best...

Wondering if anyone has experience on what a safe, upper limit is on velocity out my .280 REM model 70 with a 22" barrel pushing a 160 gr bullet? A Sierra reloading flyer for .280 REM lists max velos of 2,700 fps in their tests for a 160 gr pill out their 22" barrel test gun. With a shorter...

No joke, yesterday here in IA my truck showed we broke 70°. I think the official high was in the upper 60s. Snow melted weeks ago and most ponds are opening up, creeks and rivers wide open too. This is at 42° Lat, east-central IA. Today is shaping up to be just as warm as yesterday and we...

Happy Saturday. Curious if anyone has any hunting and reloading experience with the subject bullet? I would be loading it in .280 Rem for an older model 70 featherweight, primarily looking at it for working up an elk load; but also interested in any experiences with other cartridges, as well...

I just was about to submit my application when I noticed I wasn't given a third choice selection for the type 6 cow tags I was applying for. 😞 Even more confusing, there is a spot showing up in the checkout screen showing a blank third choice selection. Yet, I wasn't given a third choice to...

I found some .zip folders on the WY game and fish website showing some GIS data (crucial range, migration corridors) that I would like to view on my Android phone. Does anyone have any good app ideas to view these files? 😆 Regards, Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337Z using Tapatalk

(maybe this is a better thread for WY MRS?-but here we go 😆) Seeking general info on anyone's recent hunt experiences within the last 5 years and any documented winter kills they might be aware of in the WY elk areas in and around these ranges. I am not looking yet for that trophy bull, this...

http://www.kcrg.com/content/news/3-men-fined-and-lose-hunting-privileges-for-illegal-hunting-411093925.html I could say, 'only in Iowa'...😛 What I want to know is how they or anyone could rack up 58 violations? 😨 Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337Z using Tapatalk

Well, here we are, just a couple weeks left before all the draw deadline in Wyoming. Over the years, been studying the elk areas and might just give it a shot this year on a cow tag. I have a few pref points, but would like to let them grow longer to someday go for a bull. I'm a nonres, can...

Its no longer New Years or even Thanksgiving for that matter, but amidst our shared comraderie of the outdoors, I wanted to wish everyone good luck in the draws and season that lies ahead. I joined the forum last year and found everyone to be civil and genuine. As some of you might remember...

I noticed that the G&F upped antlerless tags in this unit for 2016 and changed the season dates-early hunt on priv only, then open on the whole area in Oct. They said in this year's hunt guide about "elk avoiding hunters" on priv land as being the reasons they are doing this. Cow harvest...

1st off, Happy Memorial Day to All, and a special thanks to all our Men and Women in uniform that served our Country! 31 May is coming fast. I assume a guy has until midnite tmrw to apply-but maybe its midnite 2nite? I better check-anyone know? For a nonres, other than peace of mind and...

Ok, so I love the Western mountains and hunting the Rockies. But I'm a rookie (been out a few times) and a wuss. 😆 Is there a simple map or 'rule of thumb' to use to determine where these big bears that could eat me reside? I know the Yellowstone area has them. Was told they are not in the...

If I had my druthers, I'd prob use a 300 cal bullet/cartridge combo for elk-based on the recommendations of plenty of folks; but the budget is too tight this year for a gun purchase ( have a bad crush on a 300 Weatherby Mag, Mk V 😍). Meanwhile, there is talk about a leftover cow license this...

We're working out realistic plans for DIY options this fall on a leftover cow tag. We hunt with rifles, are fit/not afraid to walk (but we lack horses or ATVs), and will have 6 days available to hunt. Unit 7 has usually had a boatload of cow tags (and hunters from what I understand 😃) along...

From what I've researched, these school lands appear to be open to hunting if they can be legally accessed-does that jive with everyone else? However, I did find this page on a WY land use website which indicates to me that an outfitter can lease and have eclusive access to one or more blocks...

Does anyone know if its possible to "restore" the loft power of a compression sleep sack? We have 3 Marmot 40° compression sacks and I noticed last summer being cold in them while camping more often than not in conditions where they used to keep me warm. They are about 3 to 6 years old. We...
