    Huge Bull!

    Jim, you are correct. There was a poster with a lot of information on it and it said they were meat hunting. I didn't take a picture of it.

    Huge Bull!

    Last week we spent all week in Gunnison camping. Spent a day in Crested Butte and visited their museum. This mount was there. I was shot near Crested Butte in 1899 and was certified as a new world record (at that time) scoring 442 3/8. It is massive. Pretty cool...........

    MOA at different elevations

    Among hunters this has only become a topic for discussion in the last 20 years or so. It really only comes into play at extreme ranges, my guess is over 500 yards. Why did I pick this number? Because I never shoot beyond that range with my hunting rifles. I have never experienced any change that...

    6.5 To kill an elk?

    If you'll read my first post, I am not advocating anyone give up what they now shoot and go to a .30 caliber. I happen to shoot .30 calibers for elk and they do exactly what I want them to do. I didn't say you should give up your .270 and shoot a .30....whatever works for you, works for you. I...

    6.5 To kill an elk?

    I definately qualify as an "older guy" as I'm 78. I shoot a .300 Wby with a muzzle brake and I doesn't rattle my dentures (I don't have any!). I also shoot a 30-06 w/o a break. As I stated earlier, nothing less than .30 cal for elk (and larger game) for me. My Wby kicks less than my 25-06.

    New Mexico requiring quarantine

    Just got back from a week in Gunnison and lots of restrictions as Jim said. Lots of big lighted signs on all the highways saying "Face masks are mandatory". We were at Crested Butte and almost everyone was wearing a mask. Pretty crowded too. All in all, I was quite surprised with how crowded...

    Bear attack

    That has to be tough. After seeing the size of those brownies, I wouldn't want to get pissed off at me.

    Corona Virus Quarantine

    It won't be long before hunting seasons start, that's why I posted this. Things don't seem to be getting better, so we should really stay on top of this.

    Corona Virus Quarantine

    My son just finished a visit home to do his taxes. He owns his own trucking business and spends a lot of time going thru Wyoming. He told me that he had heard that Wyoming was going to start quarantining non residents for 14 days. I hadn't heard anything about this so I called Wyoming G & F and...

    Monsoons Have Started.

    Really turned warm the last couple of days, 90 today on my deck. We are leaving for Gunnison Saturday for a week, taking our rv and will do a little fishing.

    Alaska - negative test required

    That's exactly why we cancelled our fishing trip we were going on in 2 weeks.

    EIC

    I have a 2 acre pond and work my black Lab in the water exclusively in the summer. She likes to play with a frisbe type of toy and when she feels hot, in the water she goes. Lucky to have the water for her .
