Pondering factory loads vs starting loads
I don’t know why this is sticking in my head today, but reloading wisdom says to start pretty low and work up slowly, that every rifle behaves differently, can’t be too safe, etc. Yet anybody with any rifle has no qualms about loading any factory round from any manufacturer literally having no...- Bullshot

Have 30-06 brass / Need .270
Wondering if anyone wishes to trade some 270 brass for 30-06? Looking for maybe 100 once-fired cases. The 30-06 brass is once fired by me or my dad (not range pickups) but is not deprimed and not cleaned. Probably a mix of RP, Win, maybe some Fed. I could deprime and do a quick tumble if...- Bullshot

New rifle, the cheap way
Mid-winter boredom strikes again and my 35 Whelen got a new outfit. Probably not for everyone, but I like it! -
Good guns done dirt cheap
I have noticed a bit of a trend, or what I think is a recent trend while window shopping used guns. I think we are experiencing a very strong generational rollover in tastes that is creating space for some deals where normally none were to be had in the recent past. Specifically I am talking... -
Doom & Gloom
Well… not really. Things may be tough in DIY America, but perhaps not THAT tough. I’ve been thinking about what I do (or will) have rather than what I don’t (or can’t) have regarding future tags. This is not a list to gloat, or count unhatched chickens, but I have coded many of my future hunts...- Bullshot

Why fewer California elk
Random question: Why are there not more Rocky Mountain elk in eastern CA? I’ve never been there, but seems habitat would accommodate them well plus elk are very adaptable to different habitat types. -
My daughter needs warmer gloves!
I am looking for some recommendations for truly warm ski gloves/mitts system for my 14yo daughter who gets icy red/numb hands even at 40 degrees wearing what I think are decent insulated gloves or mittens (currently in the $30-$40 price range). She is very thin, with petite wrists and long...- Bullshot

Any winterkill area hunt recaps?
For anybody that hunted this year in the worst winter kill areas (NW CO, SW WY, etc) how did it go? Asking specifically about pronghorn since I am planning a hunt in NW CO in foreseeable future, but curious what was observed for deer and elk too. Maybe I’ve missed it but it seems there are very... -
Bedded bucks
In case you are hunting in the east and wondering why you are not seeing more bucks… this is why. They allow you to unknowingly walk in a full circle around them until you are about 10 feet away and even then it can take confirmed eye contact for 10 seconds or the wrong movement before they flip... -
1st time jackrabbit
I was a jackrabbit virgin until today. I went out for a last hour small game hunt without real expectations of finding anything but hoping for a sage grouse. Nothing at all moved until just before I had gotten back to my truck, when a jackrabbit erupted. I badly missed my first shot, flubbed...- Bullshot

Do I care about opening day?
Leaving tomorrow for WY. 2 day drive. Season starts on Monday. I have never hunted an antelope opener, not sure I even care to. I have over a week to score. Should I just go fishing instead, and start hunting Tuesday? Will I miss much except crazy people doing crazy things? I obviously have no... -
Fishing for Central WY tips
Hey friends! I am going to be in central WY Alcova to Casper region in a couple weeks after an antelope. I am really hoping to peel off and try some fishing and though I know this is a *great* area I also know nothing specific about any of the waters, strategies, etc. I am camping solo, have...- Bullshot

Handle for old press
Picked up an old pacific press to refurbish/play around with. It has no handle. Anybody just happen to have a handle for one laying around taking up space? It came along with a Pacific 30 M1 Carbine ram (fixed ram, not a removable shellholder) that I don’t need if anybody is interested...- Bullshot

Drought turnabout
Stunning difference year over year. Wow. Imagine what could have been if the winter hadn’t been so harsh on game in some areas. I hope this will at least benefit some recovery of the forage so animals this year end up in a less stressed condition heading into 2024. Looking forward to my trip...- Bullshot

Who’s returning a tag?
OK… since CO’s secondary draw as we know is mostly a young boy or girl’s game…. time to turn focus to reissues! Who’s returning a tag? (I am). Keep your eyes peeled for my muzzy bull license, it could be yours! Though I won’t be elk hunting, I am very excited about my upcoming WY antelope...- Bullshot

Old side by sides
Appreciating how even “value” shotguns from 50-60 years ago have handiwork unlikely to be found on very expensive guns today. These are Mercury Magnum (Spanish imports) 12 & 20 ga. Tight actions, nice engraving, they are good guns. I killed my very first deer with that 20…1st shot I ever took...
