    Hammer Bullets

    I haven't read anything about them but why would you want a all copper bullet to shed the pedals? If it stays together it will have more frontal energy than it would if it shed them, plus shedding them will quite likely result in more meat damage due to bloodshot as they pass through the...

    WHAT A MESS!

    From what I have seen in my area the only ones laid off are hotel workers. Most everyone else is working but then I haven't walked into a restaurant or bar to see just what they are doing. As for money it is like it has been reported, with the large unemployment check folks are getting they...

    How many hunting packs ???

    At one time I had a dozen or so. The third hand shop now has just about all of them. Now I get along with just 3. A Badlands day pack, a 30 year old Cabela's external frame pack, and just a frame pack. With those 3 I can handle anything that I need to do. That's why I got rid of all the rest.

    WHAT A MESS!

    People that are laid off getting unemployment have been out in force enjoying the outdoors. If they go back to work they will no longer have the time to spoil it for the rest of us.

    WHAT A MESS!

    In the end it will be quite interesting in who does play this season. There are a few that haven't canceled out all their games and I kind of wonder just what the bowls are going to do if there are enough teams playing this year to actually have games in them. Who knows this years national...

    Huge Bull!

    I forgot that I had the story in a book that I have. The book is Colorado's Biggest Bucks and Bulls and Other Great Colorado Big Game by Susan Campbell Reneau. The copy that I have is the second edition. Here is the story about it.

    Huge Bull!

    Odd are those old boys were out hunting for something to eat and could of cared less about the antlers. As the story that I heard on it was that after he told some friends about it he ended up going back to get the antlers to show them. The hunter could quite possibly tell you more about...

    Huge Bull!

    That elk held the record until the mid 60's for a typical Rocky Mountain Elk before a hunter in Arizona shot a bigger one. Big elk are something to see in the wild, they are truly impressive. In 2005 I was headed deer hunting on the Monroe Mountain in Utah when a herd of elk was crossing the...

    The 40 Acres

    Lovely times down in Arizona where you can save on your cooking bills buy just using a flat rock outside. As long as the pipe is burried there should be no problems with it even in the Arizona heat. The problem comes in when you use PVC as a riser and it is sticking out of the ground and...

    Where you hunting this year?

    I wasn't quite sure on the B tags, it has been a long time since I even considered more than one elk tag. I glance over that section of the guide book and really don't pay it much attention. But on that note I had a friend years ago when they first allowed up to 6 elk per hunter and he...

    MOA at different elevations

    My PH and outfitter asked me about my .340 Weatherby when I went to the bench to check it's zero. I just told them that I was shooting hand loads that were quite a bit under the max for that bullet and powder combination and that I had built them up in our summer here in Colorado. Granted it...

    MOA at different elevations

    With that much of a temperature difference you will also get different velocities out of the same round with the higher temperature shots being a little bit faster. There are a lot of hunters that sight in their rifles and load their ammo in the cold months and then head over to Africa in the...

    Where you hunting this year?

    You can only have one A tag, and only one B tag and a unlimited number of C tags. I believe that just about all C tags are private land tags, and B tags are cow and doe tags. And or combination of the above. I don't have the guide book in front of me but there is a explanation of them in it
