    Dolores County Colorado Hunting Accident

    These events are really disturbing to me and I can’t help but try and think about how in the world that can happen. The one thing I have always thought was dangerous is using the cow elk decoys during a firearm season. Not saying that is what happened here. I can’t imagine his poor family...

    2021 WY Quality

    I literally just arrived in Casper, I drove across 90 to Gillette and south through Midwest to Casper. It’s been 4 years since I’ve made this drive and in my opinion the Antelope population seems to be at most 50% of what I remember. I really hope I am wrong. Did see some really good bucks though.

    I agree with what you are saying and if this vaccine was a classic vaccine like the smallpox vaccine I would be leading the charge for every one to get the shot. I am not sure what to make of an mRNA vaccine and don’t appreciate being told to shut up and take the shot (not saying that’s what you...

    V.J. Day 1945

    I personally think of August 15th as VJ Day, though the official signing of the surrender was September 2nd the Japanese announced that they were surrendering on August 15th. I am partial to the the 15th because my dad died on the 15th and he was fighting the Japanese at the time. There is no...

    First elk for 2021

    Nice, shooting cow elk during late August sounds like a great way to get the fall started! I am going to have to look into this for next year.

    We would peel popular until noon while the hay dried and then bail hay until dark. Usually we would put up 1000 or more each day. It was not uncommon and we didn’t think it was anything special because that’s what everyone did. After almost 30 years of being employed by corporate America, I miss...

    Because they used to be Democrat states, goes to show the devastation that is caused by Democrats

    Well it finally happened......I destroyed a gun.

    Thanks for all the information CC! it’s really good of you to be so transparent, it will hopefully keep someone else (like me) from making similar mistakes. I think the only reason I haven’t done something like this yet is I only use RL22 for all my WBY loads. I could definitely see myself...

    Eastman’s hunting forum, and Rockslide on rare occasions. I guess also LinkedIn.

    Well it finally happened......I destroyed a gun.

    Was it Weatherby (Norma) brass? I have reloaded 300 wby Norma brass up to 3 times and with a lot hotter loads than you described, I am kind of concerned, as you appear to be much more meticulous than I am.

    Well it finally happened......I destroyed a gun.

    That had to scare the crap out of you, I am really glad that you didn’t get hurt! As you mentioned 3060 FPS from a 150grain 300wby, I would consider a very light load. Please keep us informed if you get to the bottom of what ever happened.

    Logistic information Region “M”

    If you have a UTV or 4 wheeler I would definitely take it with. All the dirt roads are trash if they get any significant moisture. The no wood road south of Tensleep is blacktop until Big Trails, south of big trails the road holds up okay with moisture but depends on just how much moisture they...

    We have had that discussion and I think they made pretty good choices but I always tell them that the degree only gets you in door, they have to work their butts off and separate themselves from the pack.
