    Drop Camps

    I am doing my first drop camp this year for second rifle season in GMU 12. I'll post a report on it after the season. This camp brings you in and out on horseback but they don't leave the horses with you during the hunt. In my case that is probably a good things as I am not an experienced horse...

    Do mulies migrate?

    My first drop camp

    Interesting question! I did some work for my hunting partner and he is repaying me by providing this drop camp. I guess I can let you know in November if he was trustworthy or not.

    My first drop camp

    Going on my first drop camp hunt this fall. Always hunted from car/truck camps before. This time we are being hauled in on horseback and dropped off at a camp for the season. Anybody have suggestions or advise for a drop camp newbie?

    seating depth for .300 WinMag

    Thanks to all for the information and opinions. I know that 1.75 is plenty good for hunting. But this rifle is glass bedded, free floated and has had a trigger job. All done before I bought it. I really want to understand and get as close to the potential of this rifle as possible and I just...

    seating depth for .300 WinMag

    I am currently seating the bullet so that I am at Max Overall Length as per the the Speer manual. I have played with powder & charge weight and still 1.5 moa is the best I can do. I guess I don't understand why seating close to the lands on my .270 made such a huge difference in accuracy...

    seating depth for .300 WinMag

    When I was handloading for my .270 I seated the bullet barely off the lands and they worked really well. Now I am reloading for my new .300 WinMag. I have made and fired some test loads and am getting marginal accuracy (1.75" @ 100) so far. My best load so far is: Federal brass,180 gr. Nosler...

    Best coat in Spring or Fall

    I am planning a black bear hunt in SE Alaska near Petersburg for next year. I was wondering if the fur is best in the spring or the fall. I guess the trade off will be spring bear&king salmon or fall bear&silver salmon depending on when the fur is the best. Also I will be doing spot & stalk...

    Co. deer hunt

    Almont, CO While Elk hunting during late cow only season I saw LOTS of mule deer in the area of Almont, CO. (GMU54 or 55) There is a state wildlife area right at Almont with some real wallhangers. I think it is a tough draw though. Good Luck!
