Here we go again... 2006 Lumbar Fusion cages rods and screws S1-L4. 2018 same on L4\L3. This time "just" Discectomy on L3\L2. Outpatient surgery. In and out same day tomorrow. A fusion of that level is coming but the goal is pushing it out as much as possible. This is my future...

Nice sunny day, so I took out 22LR, 22WMR and a 17WSM in the backyard. Moved a shooting bench to 50 yds. Wife came out with her 17HMR. We proceeded to enjoy the next hour. The WMR is the new Henry and I think it's a 50 yd 1" gun with the ammo I have. I did run across a Sav 93R17 BTVSS. I...

I went up to Cabela's in Post Falls to transfer that Henry single in 45-70. Picked up some powder and a box of 350gn FP Hornady. I also grabbed some 22WMR ammo since I purchased the display model Henry steel lever. Got 10% off. Cleaned up both guns. Shot about 20 rounds out of the 22...

Running Quickload for a 45-70 .. at what pressure would I set it for in a modern lever gun. SAMMI is what 28K? To get published velocities I bring it up to 55K and 60K. Is this right?

With my Cabela's Bucks I spent $137 for a Henry steel framed 45-70. Waiting a long time to find a hunting version of this gun. Now to decide if I put a red dot on it or not. Its the H010G model - walnut \ blued round barrel \ recoil pad . Hunting style lever rifle. I'm excited to try something...

Now that elk and deer season is over, my wife was getting restless today and asked lets go for a ride or a walk. Well since my left knee made the decision we went for a ride up on the ridge. I grabbed a cup of coffee and away we went. It was 30 degF and windy today. First rock we came across...

At sunset the other evening I looked to my son and said -"perfect time to check some scopes". I grabbed rifle with a Zeiss V6, one with a V4, one with a Z5 Swaro and another with a Vortex Viper HSLR. The sun was setting behind the hill side and washed out everything in the field underneath it...

Just bought a Liberty safe, again. Left the last one with the house for my daughter and her husband that we sold them.

Spent the last two years with shooting / hunting on the back burner. My wife and I purchased raw property and building it into a home. About an hour out of town in Idaho with just a few years to work yet. My son purchased 10 acres right next to me. Our nearest neighbors is 1 mile marker back...

First time in my 50 year hunting history that I'm not out. We're building a house this year and I'm working on the parts that I can do to keep up with the builder. I haven't even shot a rifle since last spring..... I'll make up for loss time this next spring !!!

A co-worker who is into the long range game. He has competed while living in OK. He is talking me into a 22 Creed custom. Using Impact action and barrel of choice. He can assemble all the pieces. This would be the most $ I would have into a gun. It's a coyote gun. I could deal with this...

I purchased the Walnut version in a 243W for my wife and I liked it so well I grabbed another in a 300WSM. It shoots 180 PT around 1" at 100yds. Just 3 shot groups. Its fairly light with a Vortex Razor LH on it. Its one of the few rifles I own that's not a bolt gun. Its the only BAR I've...

My son and I each purchased properties in rural Idaho- He is my only neighbor within 3/4 mile. Sold our homes in town and commute about 1 hr each way for work. The wives love the peace and quiet and all the critters. Still living in the shop and trailers until 2022 when we can build. This...

I went about this backwards. I decided I wanted a big 7. I went with the 28 Nosler. Started getting brass as I found it on sale. Have a few boxes of bullets, 175gn LRAB and Berger 195. Couple boxes of loaded Nosler ammo. I'm glad I waited on this since I was going to go with a Christensen...

We finished out Whitetail and Elk seasons with Muzzleloading. I did not pull the trigger at all this season, that's a first !! My hunting buddy had what I can only guess was "Bad" Powder. When he shot at a Cow Elk it sounded like a long phizztboomish. Ha- I don't know how to even describe it...

I picked up a Ridgeline in the 6.5 Creed. I put a Razor LH 3x15 on it. I already had a 6.5x284 Norma in a Savage 116 but figured I try the Creed. I have dies and brass for both. Now for the boring part: At the range - 50yds bore sighted and took a shot. 1.5" high and right. Shot again and...

I have a G40 MOS with a Venom sight and just love this gun. I am now considering a G34 Gen4 MOS and put the same Venom on it so I can shoot 9mm for less $$ and recoil and hunt with the 10mm. I know it may sound like an excuse but .......

My father passed down to me his Rem 700 in 264WM he purchased in 1969 ish. He used that gun ever since and I purchased same 264 in a Win 70 back in 1990. Move forward to 2005 and I purchased a Rem Mtn SS in 260 Rem and gave to my son when he turned 12y. Move along to 2016 and I buy a 6.5x284...

On our unit opener for Elk last week. At about 8:30am I was 5 miles past gate and then 400' below my mtn bike. sitting on a finger watching a timber draw below me. I cow called and then a squeky bugle. 10 minutes goes by and a small squeky bugle came back across the draw about 175yds. I...

I'm 0 for 14 years now trying for a Mule Deer tag. What can I saw but keep on trying. I did get the either sex Elk Waha Muzzleloader tag. I have not shot a branch antlered elk with a muzzleloader. Lots of cows and spikes but no branch. I figured this would be my best chance to shoot one.
