Just curious if you guys think the moon phase has strong influences (positive or negative) on black bear behavior during the early fall 'hyperphagia' feeding frenzy phase, specifically in the Rockies?

Happy Father's Day, Everyone! 🤠 May we honor our Fathers, both blood and mentored, and those of us who are Fathers, may we never forget our responsibilities

My rebored Savage 110E barreled action came back the other day; visually everything looks good, test firing report from the gunsmith looks good. So, now begins the work of dropping it back in the stock, mounting a scope, deciding what/if any bedding is needed, and also working up a load for...

Will be working up loads for my 35 Whelen before too long. I have Fed large rifle primers, Hornady 200gr spire pt Interlocks; hoping to work up a sensible deer load to start. I have IMR 8208, but interested in hearing what else has worked well; or any experience with 8208. Thanks!

Some good news for WY DIY hunters! https://oilcity.news/community/2022/06/01/blm-acquires-35670-acres-near-casper-in-agencys-largest-ever-wyoming-land-purchase/

Curious to hear about experiences with the Interlock? I know its an old cup and core design, not unlike the Sierra and Speers I've been using successfully in my .280; the last 6 head of game I killed didn't protest getting sent to heaven by non premium cup and core bullets. 200 gr spire point...

Anyone had it done? Pros/Cons? If you've had a rifle barrel rebored, interested in hearing about how it went, and if you were satisfied with the end result? Seems like it's a bit less costly than a full rebarrel; am considering doing this on an older gun I just picked up.

Anyone ever try it? Shared experience, advice, words of wisdom appreciated; I picked up an older rifle recently in decent shape, other than it has a very plain walnut stock I would like checkered. Weighing the pros and cons of either sending the stock to someone that knows what they're doing to...

Anyone have a good recipe for a Southwestern/Rocky Mtn style green Chile Stew using venison (or wild game, generically?) Last season was a good one for me with bags of roasted Chile from the garden crowding the freezer, and a couple does as well. I have a recipe I 'sorta' follow I've used in...

https://coloradosun.com/2022/01/21/wolves-livestock-ranchers/ "People in Denver don't have a clue." (To quote the article, and well put) Hopefully, Colorado can look to it's neighbors and let hunters and ranchers play a role in management of the wolves. I've camped and hunted in that area...

Let's see em! This past season was the 1st time I recovered a round from an animal. It was a doe antelope @ 270 yards, Speer 145 gr 7mm BTSP out a Winchester .280 Rem Featherweight. DRT. Found in the right shoulder after coming in the left side boiler room. It's cool seeing the rifling in the...

What does everyone think of this one? The published performance numbers sure look good to me. Not that a rifle can be easily had with all the shortages right now, but man, it looks like Browning & Winchester may have engineered a winner. The twist rate in the production rifles sure look to...

Just seeking a line on gunshops in the Casper area; gonna be heading out soon & like to know what's out there, Thanks! 👍

So, this occured to me the other day; how many rounds do guys take with them on a western big game hunt, say, for 1 tag? I've only been on 4 hunting trips over the last 7 yrs out west. I've taken 20 rounds each time. Thinking about it, that seemed like a lot, and each time where I filled a tag...

My favorite lunch- rellenos, American fries, sweet chile, onion, and some bacon!

These bins are (were) just a mile north of my place; I took the pic today on what would otherwise be a beautiful, late summer day in the rolling prairies; the haze is from smoke from all of us burning downed brush & the wreckage of our outbuildings. The barn was mine; took that Monday right...

Woke up to some snow today; just the old hog house at my place.

We had a nasty one come through a few days ago during supper time. There was tennis ball sized hail just a few miles away. Fortunately, we were spared that. After it passed, it made for a nice early spring scene here on the Iowa prairie.
