Hi All I realize that you haven't heard from me in a while. I thought this was a good time hare my recent North Eastern Oregon hunt as we had similar circumstances as many others. Our scouting day was great and we did find some elk where expected. As we had a 3.5 mile 2,000 foot climb to get...

I drew a MZ tag in central Washington this year. It's been years since I shot and hunted with one. So I will be learning again. Hopefully I will not make the same mistakes of the past. A few questions will be following in the coming weeks.

Saw this on the net this morning, at least a step in the right direction. I am sure there will be lots of appeals

This was both a great and tough year for me. I started in Wyoming with a cow tag in October, physically I was not ready for this hunt as I had stabbed my self on a piece of rebar (38 stitches) in August and it had still not fully healed. So while I did hunt, I was limited in the daily...

I have a friend interested in an item carried by Buds gun sho. Has anybody here have any feedback about Buds??

I know that many here have their own tried and true methods for starting a fire on a cold wet, snowy or rainy day. I used to have access to a military product that consisted of little blue pellets inside of a o/d green l wrapper, that weighed nothing and worked every time. It seems now that...

I was rearranging my piles today and found a box of Speer 250's for the princely sum of $4.95 cents. Two boxes of Remington 250's were marked at $7.95. I have enough to last me well beyond my passing. Kind of depressing when you think about it :grin: I will have to look at my cans of 4895...

I thought I would do a follow up of my two elk hunts. Wyoming came first, as I had never hunted our unit before I left home on the 10th which gave me extra time for some scouting prior to the season opener on the 15th of October. Arrived on the 11th and found a great camping spot. My usual...

I have a new recoil pad ready to install on my composite stock. It seems to be foam filled (or similar) so i doubt that the screws supplied will not work for very long. Any ideas as to what type of adhesive to use?

I was looking at my inventory today, and got to reminiscing about the past, in relationship to my gaggle of rifles. In the in the 60's I hunted all my big game with an 06. In 1970 I bought a 300 WM for elk and hunted deer with the 06. At one time I owned 5, 30:06 rifles, I do not own one now...

I am having issues with updating my range card for my 300 WM. I cannot get the computer calculations to come anywhere close to matching reality. I have three known target distances. 300, 425 and 615 yards. The rifle is zeroed at 300 yards. When I shoot at 425, I add 15 'clicks" of elevation...

Well I broke out the 300 WM and The 7 mm Mag again today . We had perfect shooting conditions 180 degrees wind at 5 mph. First up the 300. Again shooting with a bipod a 615 yards. All three shots felt good. Upon arriving at the target I found that my group was about 4 inches low and 6 to the...

Over the last couple of days I have been field checking my range cards for my 300 WM and 7MM magnums. I had not shot the 300 in over a year and the 7mm load was developed in a couple of weeks between two hunts last fall. Yesterday at 300 yards the 300 Managed two sub three inch groups although...

Last summer my neighbor offered me a box of stuff he no longer needed for $200. In that box was a Forster Co-Ax press, in almost like new condition. I have been playing around with the idea of replacing my 50 year old Herters press (i have three of them) and today I got the Forster out of the...

It's apparent that I did not draw an Arizona Elk tag so I am looking for a late season option in Idaho. Start date around the middle of November, ether sex, or cow. I have can do any weapon, or Muzzleloader, if necessary. I have been doing an extensive scan of the online Idaho regs and find that...

A couple of weeks ago we had a bright sunny windless day, and as I haven't been shooting much I grabbed my .308 Remington Tactical and set up prone, with a rear bag and bipod on my new shooting mat and tried a few shots. I was using the 168 gr. Nosler CC, with 43.5 gr. of RL-14 WW Cases, with...

Just a reminder to all. Many will be applying for 2016 hunts in the near future. Many states require that "harvest reports" be submitted prior to the end of the year. I finished mine this morning.

Yesterday I grabbed my 7 mm Mag for my second shoulder test. Prone at 300 yards, went as follows, first shot great, second shot a little pain, third shot, sharp pain on recoil. No damage and shoulder recovered without medication. It looks as though my 300 WM will set this season out. Its first...

I have been wanting to shoot for some time now but my surgeon has placed some draconian restrictions on my activities. Last week I ran a couple of strings off of my bench with my .223. The shoulder showed no ill effects at all. Sooooo today I set out my target and grabbed my .308 Remington...
