All, I'm looking at doing another spring bear hunt in Idaho in late May to early June, but I don't want to use a guide this time. However, that creates a conundrum for me as I don't have: A tent A tent stove Pack animals Tack etc. Want to do a 2 bear area for myself and one or two others...

You will forgive me if I don't have absolute confidence in CDFW.

Depending on distance you are shooting, and your particular handgun, you may see a point of impact shift, so re-zeroing could be in your future.

And you are absolutely correct. As I said, I think those look amazing, I simply do not see that there is sufficient value in them - for me - to spend the money on them. Looking at the two side by side, I also find it interesting that the heavier bullet actually averages less penetration than...

You see a flying squirrel around, too?

Call me Mr Unadventurous, but I just use Win 115 JHP, which I didn't see on their list. I like it because I can but enough of it to shoot multiple mags through a pistol and not go bankrupt by mid-week. The HST look amazing, but is it that much more amazing than the 115gr Gold Dot, for example?

That's a sharp looking rifle, for sure. Looked it up on the website, and it seems like something I might buy for myself at some point.

Well, after a couple of very cold nights, it looks like temps are on the rise here. I was worried about a killing frost taking the blossoms off the trees, but in spite of sub 30 temps, it looks like the cherries came through. Only think the wife can think is that humidity was low enough to...

I don't do lottery tags, so OTC deer this year, and maybe spring turkey.

+1 - I have 3-4 of these scattered around. They are inexpensive enough to toss one in the range bag, have one on the bench, and another hanging around just in case. They come in a variety of colours, and will take a permanent marker so you can identify them as yours. At least, they used to...

They both look like they'd do whatever you'd ask of them. Seems like the velocity isn't much of a handicap, at least that 10 feet, but based on the extent of the expansion, I doubt 7 yards, or 27 yards would be a whole lot different.

I scribble incomprehensible notes in the margins of my load books. I'm sure it makes sense when I do it, but I honestly can't figure out half my loads now. Also, don't use pencil.

It's been awfully warm here, too, but now we're in for a bit of a cold snap. I worry that a lot of farmers are going to start in on the field and get bit with an April frost. Hope I'm wrong.

Never owned a 22mag, but love my 45-70. Also reminds me how much I miss living in that part of the world. Now, if I could only afford to move back...

Looks like a great time. Kudos to the owner for making things straight for you.

Annnd, now I'm hungry again.

Sorry, no experience with that range, but going someplace warm for a few months in the winter seems like a clear win to me.

Trying to imagine the cocktail that goes with.

That is such a pretty revolver. Can't argue with the caliber, either for an all-around, do basically everything revolver. I like the photo, too. Lot of talent gathered there.

Good insight, thanks. Gives me some things to think about for my own rifles; always good to get a different perspective.
