    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...

    Hunting & Fishing Is anyone else Hunting Wyo ?

    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...

    Hunting & Fishing Minimum sized Elk cartridge

    Last elk I killed with my 338 win mag was at 459 yards, blew the heart up she took 4 or 5 steps and fell over. If you can shoot the bigger rounds well the extra horse power doesn't hurt. Most of the time I hunt with a 280 Remington or a 30-06, 160gr or heavier with quality bullets. If my goal...

    Maggie’s Head shot funny

    That was great! That's a pretty powerful sling shot. 20mm balls and they were moving quick. I really do feel bad about laughing at that guy but dang

    Hunting & Fishing Elk Hunting with a Handgun 2013

    Excellent! I have been chasing elk around the desert here in South West Wyoming for the passed couple days trying to stick one with an arrow, I have come close but not close enough to draw back. A big game handgun kill is on my list of things to accomplish. Great choice on the round and gun...

    Hunting & Fishing Is the Rem 700 R5 going to be terrible for hunting?

    Try it for one season. If its to much pick up a light weight. Assuming you have a picatinny rail you could always put a smaller/lighter scope on it for hunting without to much trouble.

    Hunting & Fishing Pronghorn

    That was a really fun and challenging hunt with the 1903, I limited myself to a 125 yard shot or closer since I was using cast bullets at roughly 30-30 velocity and I am a spot and stalk hunter. I have a M1 Garand and am going back and forth between the M1 and my 7-30 Waters contender for this...

    Hunting & Fishing Pronghorn

    Here are a couple of mine and one of my brothers. We like to hunt the does, during season they seem to be more edgy than the bucks and make for a very fun hunt. Killed with my as issued 1903 Springfield same configuration it was when it left the factory in September of 1909, 60-65 yard shot...

    Hunting & Fishing Pronghorn

    I only drew one antelope tag this year, just a doe in area 90 here in Wyoming. I'll probably use a pistol this year. I drew a couple desert elk tags though, pretty excited about that.
