Seems that the shed hunter handled things pretty well: https://www.outdoorlife.com/survival/shed-hunter-kills-grizzly/ Guy

One of the guys I work with is pretty handy with a camera and grabbed this shot of my newer Kimber while I was shooting at the range. I think it looks pretty cool:

Often on Wheelgun Wednesdays I'll make a point of carrying one of my revolvers. I like revolvers and carrying them at least once a week helps keep me familiar with them. Today, I'll go with the old 2.5" pinned and recessed Model 19 and a cylinder full of 145 grain Winchester Silvertip Hollow...

I'm used to 45+P handloads and commercial ammo getting into the 900-950 fps range with a 230 grain bullet. That's a solid step up from the normal 800-850 fps with a 230 grain bullet that much of the commercial ammo I've used manages to produce. But... 1000 fps? From a standard 5" 1911 and a...

That happened fast! Late on Wednesday I got an invite for a mule deer damage control hunt near and on an orchard. The landowner works with a local veterans group and only wants veterans hunting on his property. He says that the veterans have treated his land and his dirt roads with respect. He...

Wife and I have had about enough of Washington's crazy lefty government. 30 years ago when we moved here it was a beautiful state with a Democrat governor & legislature. But it was a good governor & legislature. We had open carry, good hunting, no obnoxious anti-gun laws. Property taxes were...

Question for the group. We have some very experienced handloaders here and I've not ventured into this area before. I have a S&W First Model Double Action Revolver in 44 Russian. The gun is in good mechanical condition, though the finish is well worn and even some pitting. The last of these...

This looked important: *Edited - I've been told that this recall was initiated a few years ago. I just saw it yesterday though.

This looks really good and is available either blued or stainless from Lipsey's now: Guy

The hunt was a while ago, but I'm writing a blog now and thought it might be of some interest: https://substack.com/home/post/p-153904374

Was maybe 20 yards? Couldn't even use my big lens, had to step down to the smaller 75-300 telephoto. He still filled the frame, even at the 75mm length:

Found them about ten miles out of town today:

Walking the dog this morning at the park near my house: Maintenance crew perhaps? ;)

Today it's called "Saddle Rock" - the native people call it "Two Bears Fighting." It is above my home. It's a short but tough hike. I've stood between those rocks many times over the last 30 years. I'll stand there again. It's supposed to be two bears, a black bear and a grizzly, fighting. In...

Although I've still got some heavy kickers, like the 45-70 Marlin and the 375 H&H Ruger Number One... I have to admit a preference for rifles that don't kick all that hard. This isn't new for me, but as I've aged, I'm gaining even more appreciation for lighter-recoiling rifles. Am growing as...

"Why yes, I am a noble beast and I will pose for your photograph puny human." Photo taken earlier this morning, right alongside the highway. Regards, Guy

It's general deer and bear season here in Washington. I was sitting on a ridge, glassing for mule deer and had also noted bear tracks & scat nearby. A large doe, two yearlings and a young forked-horn 2x2 buck walked past me, maybe 25 yards away. I had my rifle, and a 44 mag revolver. The deer...

My son and I took the dog and the shotguns for a walk this morning at the Cooke Canyon Hunt Club near Ellensburg Washington. We found six birds and brought down 5 of them! My son used his lightweight 28 gauge CZ double and steel 6's. I used the 1930's 12 gauge Remington 32 over & under with...
