    Wyoming G&F, how de we get a voice as NR's?

    Maybe you've forgotten how the system in the US works but the land the animals live on doesn't determine who owns the animals.

    Wyoming G&F, how de we get a voice as NR's?

    I dont want people from WY commenting on our wildlife legislation so I don't worry about being able to comment on theirs. Does it suck for NRs to get the blame for every wildlife issue in every western state? Sure. But that wildlife belongs to the people of that state. The closest I get to...

    Barriers for new hunters? (Poll)

    They just don't want to. They may say they want to, but if they really wanted to then they would. Every time I get back from hunting out west, I always have people saying how nice it would be to go and how much they want to. I always tell them they can do it and they always give some excuse...

    PSA: Welder Flash Burns Suck

    You gotta do what works for you. I havent broken my auto and haven't seen one broken in a while. In and out of plants, shops, etc. My main point was just that plenty of guys in the field are using auto lenses. It's not a mark of a great welder which style of lens they use.

    PSA: Welder Flash Burns Suck

    Are you actually in the field? My experience is different. When I'm doing structural or stick pipe my hood never comes off. Auto lens, flip up style. When chipping slag or grinding, lens is flipped up and my hood is my face shield. Lincoln 2x4 auto lens in a tigerhood. Plenty of guys with autos...

    PSA: Welder Flash Burns Suck

    Estwing chipping hammer. I'm primarily welding stainless TIG and I still keep one in my boxes. Super handy for plenty of stuff. Can never have enough clamps. I have harbor freight f style clamps, swivel pad vise grips, regular vise grips, ratchet straps, cam buckle straps, and c clamps in my...

    .223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.

    Certainly nothing is 100% but I've never had a high shoulder shot animal not drop in its tracks. Good luck to you too.

    .223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.

    On one hand, I get that. On the other hand, if I'm hunting thick brush (which I hunt plenty of) I'm going to anchor one with a high shoulder shot.

    .223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.

    50-100 yards is pretty standard for a fatal vital shot that doesn't involve the CNS across calibers and loads in my experience. A deer can run that distance in a very short amount of time.

    Any Turnpike Troubadours fans here?

    It was an okay podcast. Steve was pretty overbearing at times and he doesn't mesh well with Felker who seems to not care for much media interaction as a general rule. But it definitely had some interesting moments and of course the song at the end sounded great. I couldn't help but laugh...

    Let see your best camp photos!

    Last year, week of Thanksgiving here in NC (my absolute favorite time to hunt, I've killed a deer that week as far back as I can remember): This year in WY:

    .223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.

    I wish Speer would stock gold dots again, I'd like to load some 75 gr ones.

    First heavy pack out nightmares

    I've packed out numerous whole whitetail bucks and my mule deer buck from this year, as well as an elk (but I had a buddy for that and it was a short pack so it wasn't a great test) in my MR Sawtooth and it carries the load great. To me, the hip belt is the most important piece of the puzzle. I...

    Ever mess up a ten yard shot?

    So a few years back I was on a lease with a few friends and the opener of muzzleloader and opener of rifle were both days when all of us would be up there. So the evening before muzzleloader opener I had hunted with my bow and then a few others arrived and we all went to town to eat at the usual...

    .223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.

    Blood trail pic [representative of the average trail, some spots there were a couple pin pricks, some spots there was better blood than this] Entry: Exit: Heart and lungs (picture of the heart and lungs outside the body won't upload, but the heart was destroyed and the lungs with decent damage...
