    Remington help

    I had the Remington x mark recall. Sent it in a few years ago, waited a few months, got it back, shot it a few times, put a cheap timiney in it, loved it (so much now it needs a new barrel). Save yourself a lot of hassle, buy a trigger and a punch and be done in less time than it would take to...

    2021-2022 proposals

    I think there are more positive changes than negative. It does look like they still want to kill off all the elk in the Pio zone and all of the deer in 43. With all the surounding units having youth antlerless cut and adding 500 more either sex tags does are going to have a tough go of it in 43...

    Where to donate money for sportsman issues

    RMEF is probably best nationally. B&C gets some of my money. I used to send money and people to BHA but I can't in good conscience do that anymore. The money I used to send them now goes to my state bowhunter association.

    Re-Barreling Project

    I'm suddenly in the market for a new barrel as well. My 220 swift started throwing flyers and as much as I hated to do it I scoped it. Fire cracking and missing chunks of lands at the throat. I always figured when it was time I would play with a different caliber but I have several hundred...

    Mask up on federal lands

    I'm curious where you are seeing Forest Service LEO's? I know we have 1 but he's tasked with covering several thousand square miles and I doubt he will be looking for mask violations.

    Idaho hates NRs.

    Kind of captain obvious points as Idaho is constantly one of the fastest growing states. I wish I could get my local reps to put forward legislation that classified NR as out of county though. Even an in state half price NR tag for crossing into and using the county road system and county...

    Electric chainsaw

    I picked up a 40v greenworks for under $100 on prime day. I figured it was worth a try at that price so I could haul a saw in the jeep without getting fumed out. It is not a gas saw and it doesn't cut like a gas saw. It does cut however and to see how long it lasted I fell, limmed and blocked to...

    Wyoming craft beer

    Check out One Eyed Buffalo in Thermopolis. The food is good and the beer is better.

    Blue Lives Matter

    Then just out of curiosity what are the statistics of law enforcement officers shot by race when compared to the overall population?

    Blue Lives Matter

    "One of the guys I was with shot him. He would have went to jail cuz the guy was unarmed." It' isn't true but if there was a color discrepancy aligning with the current so called trends he most likely would be fired, charged prior to the completion of an investigation, his family would be in...

    Blue Lives Matter

    Per Panda Bear's request I'll add a little more contex. Estimates are that Law Enforcement makes up about 0.2% of the population. Using the numbers above about 7.5 times as many whites and 5 times as many blacks were killed by police than police killed by gunfire. However there are about 65...

    Idaho hates NRs.

    If they cut the number of tags they will sell out quicker. There will be fingers on the send buttons as soon as they open up.

    What caliber for son?

    At 10 my daughter started with my 220 Swift and a cut down donor stock. It worked great on her antelope and her first deer. This year she wants to hunt elk. I picked up a Savage 110 Engage Hunter package in 6.5 CM. The engage package comes with the 22" barrel so it saves a few ounces and...

    Idaho hates NRs.

    It's interesting reading some of the posts from February about how a down turn in the economy could be an argument for not raising prices for non residents. Record unemployment has led to record numbers of visitors to public lands in Idaho and NR tags are sold out.

    Which bullet for 30-30?

    "Kill game" is a broad term. The last deer I killed with my 30-30 dropped in its tracks. I hit it with a speer hot core 150 flatnose over 30 grains of 3031 (easy load to remember and my 336 likes it). Inside 100 yards on deer its easily a killer. Bigger game or longer ranges may change what your...
