    The devil on my left shoulder: Come in from the creek bank by that broken tree, stay low, get to the island, try to get that long vertical string of birds that are lined up.....bang...fetch birds. The angel on my right shoulder: There they are. Now lets find where they are feeding and be a...

    Hot Waterfowl Reloads

    I know a guy who shot a carp with a shotgun shell filled with 209 primers same guy shot a hole through the cubbord door at my hunting camp with a "marshmallow load" From my youth and even into today ( Although I pretty much behave myself now that I have a family ), I can attest to the...

    Nikon Is Getting Out of the Hunting Scope Business

    They are junk anyhow in my opinion. Its the only brand of scope I have oficially been able to destrol just by shooting with it attached to a gun.

    Found a big one

    He sent out the sacrificial lamb.....seen it many times with whitetails lol. 300" bull would be fine by me. Unless I had killed a ton of elk.

    Am I the only one who does not enjoy cleaning firearms?

    Good to know. I will give it a whirl in my flinter. I will stick with BH209 for my inline rifle.

    altitude sickness

    On another note: I would not take Dramamine ..... that will make you sleepy as shit and its more for sea sickness in my opinion. I would never take that on a hunt.

I dont even notice the thin air to be honest. I hunted above 10,000 for 14 days and never...

    Am I the only one who does not enjoy cleaning firearms?

    No doubt we got it easy today. I can relate to casting my own bullets but it is under the lee production pot lol I wonder if that APP would ignite in my flintlock....maybe I will get a can and try it. Worst case I will shoot it out of the revolver. I only shoot goex real black powder out of my...

    Am I the only one who does not enjoy cleaning firearms?

    On another note about cleaning, I was shooting my Black Power Navy revolver yesterday. ( would you believe it wont shoot through both sides of a 55 gallon drum at 10 yards?) What a pain in the a$$ those things are to clean. I couldn't imagine doing competition shooting with black powder. All...

    More Colorado archery OTC units to move to draw only

    LOL As long as they freeze NR tag prices for 20 years and increase your license 4X to pay for the wolf biologist I guess am cool with that. And before anyone gets their thong bunched up. I was kidding in the post above. But I am sure some kind of deal could be worked out.

    Am I the only one who does not enjoy cleaning firearms?

    I clean all of my guns twice a year (even if I dont shoot them). It takes me about 8 beers each time. lol I should mention that If I do shoot one it gets cleaned and normally fouled with one round before it goes into the safe. When I grab one out of the safe it is ready to be loaded and shot or...

    More Colorado archery OTC units to move to draw only

    I am just hoping they will not allow you to collect a point if you buy any OTC tag. This would help the situation out immensely.

    Something more to ponder during application periods

    Everyone working an angle....lol I love it. What truly amazes me is how many people apply for that random chance only to take a beating on their credit card processing fee on that full tag amount knowing that they have such a small chance to get the tag. Then they turn around and buy point and...

    Wyoming elk unit 38 vs 45

    FYI- You may not draw the tag unless you go in for a special tag. That is my only advice I can offer unfortunately. I hope you draw the tag because 5 years ago it was my dream to hunt one of those tags and it will never happen for me from the looks of things. Best of luck to you if you...

    Decided on Caliber - Now need to decide on Rifle

    I would go with one of the hells canyon LR, leupold scope and Talley cerecoated rings to match.. And I would also get a higher power scope to do that paper puncher justice.

    Wolves in Colorado

    I wonder how many mountain maggots a pack of wolves will kill in the first year. Those little suckers are going to be in serious trouble when a pack of wolves finds them in the night... Only thing I know for sure is that everybody and their brother better get out and vote this upcoming election...
