    ELR Wy. 1mile +

    I was wondering how big it really is....I have never made the trip out to it. I have a spot set up down 430 that can get you back to 2350 yards or so and you are about 100 feet about the target so that helps a little bit.

    ELR Wy. 1mile +

    It's south east of town, FMC park. The mile plate isn't obvious so if you don't know where it is you wont see it. Hit me up if your in the area and I'll set you up.

    Hunting & Fishing Building MY perfect hunting rifle...

    I don't blame you....I have 5 30-06s for a reason. 125gr-250gr they seem to do it all and they make excellent cast bullet rifles.

    Hunting & Fishing Building MY perfect hunting rifle...

    Don't shoot the donor!....I have done the same thing, plan on rebarreling something and find out I don't need to. I have several large caliber hunting rifles but find I grab my 30-06 and 280 more often than the 300wsm and 338wm. I keep thinking I want to rebarrel one of my 30-06s to 280 AI...

    Hunting & Fishing 7mm Mag for moose?

    I have wondered about that. I killed one of my elk this year with a 280 Remington and a 160gr bullet at a little passed 300 yards. That morning my dad and I had a conversation after walking up on 3 moose in a valley weather or not if I ever draw if my 280 Rem was going to go on the hunt....I...

    Hunting & Fishing A couple of head shots with a suppressed 300 BO

    I have a game pole very similar to that I use with my pickup truck. They are worth their weight in gold hunting out here in the desert. Nice shooting.

    Hunting & Fishing Shooting and eating Bear

    I think I saw an episode where he rendered down some of the bear fat and deep fried chunks of bear meat in it. A couple of my buddies hunt bear but here in Wyoming you aren't required to pack any meat out so they leave it....I can't even get them to pack out the backstraps for me. Someday I...

    wife hates this site

    My wife doesn't care about the time I spend at the range, the time I spent in the reloading bucker, or the time spent on gun forums. We don't have kids, the bills get paid, money goes into savings, the freezer and pantry are full, the dog gets walked, I quiet drinking, chewing, and smoking...

    Hunting & Fishing My son got his deer...

    Nice buck and they said no one would use 22 calibers for deer and antelope....how did the 77gr work? Our joke of a deer season down here has been over since October 4th.

    Hunting & Fishing Something to think about when taking pics.

    Not the greatest picture but it was hot and we needed to get him skinned out, deboned, and on ice. Wish we would have gotten a better shot with his head in the sky. We tried to get a good pic of this one but I uglied it up. This one would have be great if I was using a camera...

    Hunting & Fishing Another Great year in Wyoming

    Nicely done. I have one elk tag left which I will start trying to fill towards the end of the month. What load/bullet did you use in the 6.8? I have been wanting to try one of my 6.8s on elk.

    Hunting & Fishing First deer w/ a lever gun?

    Wasn't the first deer but one we wont forget. When my brother and I still lived at home, we might have been in college still, we got into camp a couple days before my dad. The night we got in we had a massive storm and everyone was pulling their stands because of the snow. We talked to some...

    280 Remington Thoughts

    I would have to look at my notes but I think I am running a 160gr Partition in my 22" barrel at 2825-2830 with Reloader 17. Granted it is a lite weight hunting rifle and not a purpose built precision rifle. I'm sure with a 26" or longer barrel you could really get 162s or 168s moving. I have...

    I'm off to a good start. Filled one cow tag with my bow in area 100, 32 yard pass through. Got my doe antelope this morning in area 90 with my Rem 700 30-06 with a 250-260 yard heart shot...didn't range it I knew it was inside 300 yards and with the load I'm shooting and how I'm zeroed its a...
