    Hunting CO?

    Websites like GOHUNT and OnXMaps are factors in people applying because they cut the learning curve significantly. I have hunted with a couple people in Colorado who without OnXmaps would NEVER have tried hunting out there. But I feel the major factor IMHO is that you dont have to front the...

    Its really looking like that PCP Suitcase Pump and .357 rifle may be in my future if I want to have fun in the back yard. lol

    Idaho Expanding Wolf Season!

    I see the picture and I am envisioning what lead I would need for the hevishot dead coyote loads at 30 yards running full tilt on a wolf. My estimation would be 1 Wolf length out ahead of the snout....lol

    Ammunition shortage

    I couldn't figure out what the heck was going on with my vision in my right eye last week, then I realized one of the lenses had popped out of my glasses again....lol

    Ammunition shortage

    One thing is for certain...the amount of shooting around my house has dwindled to almost nothing over the last year. Normally I hear people out shooting and having fun every night. Seems like I haven't heard a gunshot since deer season... People must really be hoarding or out of ammo. If it ever...

    Ammunition shortage

    I was at a few places over the weekend and there was a fair amount of ammo. (As usual, I didn't buy anything because I am cheap and stubborn..) This was one of the (and I quote) "Hot selling items" What a steal....lol I asked the guy at the counter if that price was correct and he said...

    Bear Gun?

    I should add that I do have a Tarus tracker 5 shot .44 that I carried on my side while working in Alaska years ago with Cor-bon bear rounds. It is almost uncontrollable to shoot because the recoil is so ridiculous. The shotguns that my employer had (That we had to qualify with) were 870's and...

    Bear Gun?

    I dont carry a gun or bear spray when I am in the woods elk hunting. I have not hunted in grizzly country but if I was hunting in grizzly country I would carry my bow on a sling and my SX2 shotgun with my extended magazine in my hand. I personally would not bother with bear spray. If a...

    Interesting! Deer applications didn't skyrocket like I anticipated with the later rifle seasons. Thanks for posting.

    Thoughts on Suppressors for Hunting?

    I always wondered if they dramatically affected accuracy. Meaning sight the gun in to a satisfactory group with it on. Then take it off and does that dramatically change you POI and group size? I highly doubt it would tone down my 300 WSM enough to mess with one. I envision the thing...

    multiple coyotes

    I mostly hunted coyotes with Walker Dogs in my younger years. Although I have killed a lot by calling them either while deer hunting or turkey hunting. Back in my early 20's I killed these two dirty birds while turkey hunting one year. Seen them trailing a herd of does that had come by and I...

    Thoughts on Suppressors for Hunting?

    I'm with CC. I dont want to deal with the nonsense and they look pretty dumb on the end of the gun. I dont have any issue with anyone that wants to use one though.

    Local Shooting Range Situation

    Sorry to hear about your situation. $55 per member is pretty cheap. Raise your rates to cover the cost. Seems like the only thing you can do. For comparison there are 1200 members in my club. I pay $120/year. We have 5 stand, 2 trap ranges, 2 skeet ranges, 2 sporting clay's courses, 12...

    Best broadheads for elk?

    No offense to anyone who uses an expandable. But, with the 1,000 things that can go wrong during my bow hunt, putting something that could mechanically fail on the end of my arrow sure as hell isn't going to be the 1,001'th thing. Thats just me. Been bow-hunting for 25 years killed a lot of...
