    Win 6.8

    There is always room for one more cartridge. However time will tell if it is around in a dozen years or not. The same can be said of any of the short magnums, Ruger and Nosler propriety rounds, or any of the others out there.

    Sources of Revenue for Wyoming Game and Fish

    Wasn't it a couple of years ago that Wyoming's legislature passed a bill that was signed into law that they had to become self sufficient? That money needs to come from somewhere and if it is the cost of points and or additional licenses that you need to purchase then so be it. If you don't...

    2021 Fishing

    Many years ago I purchased a fold up tent on a platform that had a couple of plastic runners underneath it. It folds up to about 3'x4' and when unfolded it gives you a tent that is 4'x6" and 5' tall. It is just right for one person but two could fish in it but it would be cramped. It works on...

    It's Official I'm Going Back

    I don't know about that. I'm going to miss being down in the desert in February this year chasing those little buggers, and as for the coues they are also fun to hunt. But when you want to get pampered and spoiled you head to Africa, for what you would pay for a guided elk hunt here in the US.

    It's Official I'm Going Back

    After my first trip I realized why a friend laughed at me for spending what I did on my grizzly hunt up in British Colombia. From what I understand there is still room in the group that I am going with.

    It's Official I'm Going Back

    Well, I made it official and am headed back to South Africa for a hunt. I debated on a 7 day or the 10 day hunt and decided on the 10 day one which includes a few more animals. So now the planning begins, well not really. Since I have been over once I'll just duplicate 99% of what I did...

    Retirement: You can retire to Arizona where 1. You are willing to park three blocks away from your house because you found shade. 2. You've experienced condensation on your rear-end from the hot water in the toilet bowl. 3. You can drive for four hours in one direction and never leave...

    Win 6.8

    I believe that the 6.8 will do a lot better than the 6.5 Creed just because of the heavier bullets that will be available for it. But like all new rounds time will tell if it will make it

    NRA Files for Bankruptcy

    I believe that they said that they are going to regroup in Texas. It's time for a lot of the upper level folks to head down the road and let some new blood in.

    New gun 300 win mag question

    Anymore I would stay away from the Remingtons. Between their quality issues and the bankruptcy I don't trust them . The Weatherby Vanguard is a quality rifle at a good price. I have one in 25-06 with the all weather stock and it shoots lights out. For a scope I would recommend a Leopold...

    1st Elk hunt White River NaTional Forest.

    You also need to consider that unless it is a OTC archery tag that there are a lot of units where there is a 4pt minimum on bulls, and unless you have a cow tag they are out of the equation.
