    Wyoming 3 Point Locations

    My 74 year old dad now has 5 points. My mother got her 1st point last year. Curious what folks would recommend for a 3 point average location in Wyoming? We have hunted antelope south of Casper a couple times. Have seen some mule does, but never any horns. Would like to get them both...

    Pedersoli Kodiak Double Rifle

    Anybody have one of these 45/70 doubles? Just curious what kind of ammo they can handle? Can they handle some higher pressure loads like a new Marlin, or are they intended for the old west load rating? I know these have been bored out to like 45-120 and 450 Nitro, so my assumption is they can...

    Mule Deer Recommendations

    I am looking for a good [location, unit, area, rancher] DIY recommendation for mule deer hunting in Wyoming. My 72yr old dad is sitting on 4 preference points, and I am considering having him use them in the next year or two. He is still very mobile, but won't be walking up any 10,000+ foot...

    SWFA Riflescopes

    Been contemplating an SWFA 3-15x42mm Tactical scope for a long range rig. Looking for those folks with first hand experience to share their thoughts, comparisons and recommendations. The old "Super Snipers" were very rugged and really the only thing they lacked was quality glass. I am really...

    Wyoming Sheep Unit 19

    Anybody live in, or familiar with, sheep unit 19 in SE Wyoming? I guess I never realized there were that many sheep in SE Wyoming. I see a quota of 8 for unit 19, which tells me there must be a sizeable population. If one wanted to do some scouting, viewing, photography for some rams, where...

    Non Resident Tag Allotment

    Curious how Wyoming determines the TOTAL number of NR tags for a particular antelope unit? If there a rule/equation they use to determine this? I understand that after the NR quota is determine, 75% to the PP pool, 25% to the random draw pool. Of the 75% PP pool, 40% of that goes to those...

    Anybody have one of these? If so, how do you like it? What kind of accuracy are you able to squeeze out of it? Curious what kind of velocities the 7mm-08 or 6.5 Creedmore would get from a 20" tube.

    Otc deer hunts

    I am interested primarily in Coues deer, but also interested in mule deer as well. As I understand AZ hunting, most if not all archery is OTC tags. Are there any non resident OTC rifle licenses typically available? Are all units open to the OTC tags or is there a specific list? I have been...

    Minimum Shoulder Bumping - The Old Fashioned Way

    I will be ordering a Hornady tool in order to measure the amount of shoulder bump based on the datum lines. Typically I do a true FL size and have been getting pretty good groups. My goal is to go to minimum sizing for better case life and better chamber alignment, which might help groups a...

    Weatherby RC "Range Certified"

    Wondering how many out there are using an RC "Range Certified" Weatherby right now and what the accuracy really is? No doubt they are sub MOA, but are they 1/2 MOA? 3/4 MOA? I have always wanted a Mark V, and the 7mm Wby and the 257 Wby really intrigue me. 7mms are the kings of long range...
