A couple bucks that live here in town-still fun to see them

Nothing in utah for Me or my two girls. We had a big year last year so I didn’t expect much. I am in for deer only in Wyoming and not Much hope there either. I can still buy archery cow/spike elk over the counter and I am close on some in state antlerless tags. I quit Nevada this year...

My 28 nosler with 175 ablr or my .300 wm with 180 gr ab or tbbc. Depends what tags I draw. So far I don’t have much to look forward to!

The book “One Man, One Rifle, One Land” pretty much sums it all up. I just finished reading the thread listing Townsend Whelen’s list. Of the animals on the list I have taken, I’ve taken them with my old .30-06, that’s all I had so that what I used and never had a reason to question it. I...

It was just that one day. I bought a couple boxes of 28 nosler 175 ablr, loaded ammo. Saved $50 compared to what the sportsman’s warehouse nearest me is charging.

And the nephew with his tom

Loved the bear story! Now I can start looking for my own bird in between work and kids in school activities. I don’t remember May being such a busy month!

Nephews girlfriend with her first Tom

Thanks for the responses-Scratching my head about some of the answers on here but there you have it. Spent some time at the gun store I like and their opinions were thus: turn it into a 7prc and they can sell it with no trouble, extremely popular even though it Underperforms compared to the...

One of the other threads in here got me curious about re barreling my semi custom rem 700 in 7 stw. I have enjoyed shooting the barrel to the point of non existing accuracy. Prior to that it was excellent with the 160 gr Accubond. The rifle has a Douglas barrel now and I have touched base...

I have been a firefighter and a paramedic for coming on twenty years now. I have seen this story or many similar to it dozens of times. I am grateful you were able to have some visits with your father prior to his passing. Many I have seen ended traumatically and the family never got to...

The weather has been perfect for shooting so I’ve taken some of the jugs refilled with water to the public range where I can shoot them. Finished load work up on a cheap .30-06 and enjoyed some practice with the .375 and 7mm-08. These from 400 yards, you can see the entrance hole through the...

H4831sc with 130gr Accubond in one and the same powder with 130 gr grand slam in another. My records show neither rifle liked the Barnes ttsx and the second rifle really liked factory core lokt-go figure

Not many flying bugs that early but ticks can be a problem. I’ve not hunted Idaho, only utah and Montana.

Last one-. Different range but still public property. It’s a closed road along a river with a big dirt mound at the end. When I got there a car was pulled right up the the dirt but lights still on, might have still been running, time has dulled the details. They weren’t picking up brass or...

On another occasion a couple guys shooting steel at close range with handguns. It looked ok to me, self protection training or whatever. At some point a bullet fragmented and came back off the steel plate. Hit the shooter in the eye. I’m a paramedic and was close by so went to help. Not...

Two guys with AR’s on a public range. They are doing the military thing blowing through clips as fast as they can at a human shaped steel target at 25 yards ish. Bullets are bouncing all over the place so I kindly walk over when they are reloading. I pointed out that their ricochets are...

I used tss 3&9 this year for waterfowl. I can’t say it is the magic that some claim it to be and I’ve never used it for turkeys. A guy hunting with us kept singing about his .410 and tss. End of the day we all killed our limits, he was the last to finish although maybe that’s just the...

The original x lacked the shank grooves in large part causing that massive fouling which in turned caused the hit or miss accuracy. I really like the tsx and the ttsx from whitetails to eland in appropriate calibers. I don’t think I would mess with the x bullet especially as it is no longer in...

Have applied in Utah for deer and elk and sheep for me and my girls but I don’t expect any luck so will plan to hunt a spike or cow elk otc archery. I made some ground elk into sloppy Joe at the fire station yesterday and two guys said it was the best sloppy joe they ever had. I think we will...
