    June 25th bull

    Sounds like a very nice place to hike and a great place for photos :-) I flew Army helo's up there for 4 years and we did fly that low ... although we weren't supposed to get within 500 feet of big game so we wouldn't harass them. Most guys followed the rules, although once in a while someone...

    June 25th bull

    Nice bull ! Is he in an area you can hunt or did you fly by him out in the middle of no-where? Of course, from the looks of the photo you would have been flying pretty low ... ;)

    Spring Bear

    I posted previously about a .28 Nosler custom build I just completed with my gunsmith. Well, I just took it on a Spring Bear, spot and stalk, hunt in Montana last week and got this nice big boar. He's 350 lbs and about 6 1/2 feet long. I stalked up to 200 yards and one shot (through the heart)...

    My First New Rifle in Forever

    I reloaded using some Berger Bullets using RL 33 powder. For the 180gr Berger's I used 83.0 grains of powder. For the 195gr Berger's I used 81.0 grains of powder. Both loads were about in the middle between min and max. I loaded 3-shot groups varying the bullet seating depth by 0.005 back from...

    Bison License Application Info Letter

    I applied for a Bison tag in the Draw (like many of you I believe) and I just received an e-mail from the WY Game & Fish Department with the following info. Did anyone else receive this ... I'm guessing everyone did. What do you think? Dear Hunt Area 2 Wild Bison License Applicant, You are...

    My First New Rifle in Forever

    I shot 2 boxes of Factory Loads this weekend ... 175gr Nosler ABLRs. The rifle really felt great !! Here's one group at 100 yards ... not terrible but not what this rifle should be capable of. Now I have the brass and will start working up some handloads. Going to try some Berger bullets.

    My First New Rifle in Forever

    I've been hunting my whole life with the pre-64 Model 70 Winchester my Dad bought in the '50s. I'm happy with it and I'll still use it but after spending a few years reading everyone's posts about other interesting rifles I finally decided to try one. In coordination with a local gunsmith we...
