    One rifle to do it all

    .308 or .270. I prefer .270 but there are a lot of good .308 options. If I were a lefty and wanted to shoot .308, I’d consider a Henry Long Ranger. Are you dead set on a bolt rifle or is a lever action an option for you?

    Forums Are Dead!

    Forums are the internet equivalent of bars and taverns. Is deriving pleasure from sitting on a stool, sipping a frosty one, and arguing, complaining, and discussing stuff that you can't change going out of style?

    Wyoming Shed Hunting Bill Proposal

    My two posts above will lead many to believe I'm a strong supporter of this bill. I don't really have a strong feeling one way or the other about the particulars of this bill. But what I do have a strong opinion about is state's rights and a literal and originalist interpretation of the 10th...

    Wyoming Shed Hunting Bill Proposal

    Go use your public land. Walk all over it. Just don't pick up Wyoming's antlers on your public land until Wyoming says go.

    Wyoming Shed Hunting Bill Proposal

    Antlers appear to be treated as a wildlife resource. If you take antlers from a road killed elk, you're going to get a visit from Wyoming G&F, not U.S. Forest Service, even if the elk died on Forest Service land. I don't remember ever seeing Forest Service out when shed hunting is going on but...

    Wyoming Shed Hunting Bill Proposal

    Pot, this is kettle, over....... I see you're from North Carolina. I've lived in Wyoming most of my adult life but I grew up in North Carolina. I remember hearing Tarheels go on, and on, and on, about "Yankees" and people from Florida, which was like a Yankee but worse. This was usually done...

    25-06 and Elk

    Well, to throw another log on the fire…….I knew a few Wyoming old timers that killed elk cleanly and consistently (or so they said) with a ‘99 Savage in .250-3000. That doesn’t mean it was the best idea. But in those days a man had only one rifle. There wasn’t a different tool for different...

    Forums are the internet equivalent of bars and taverns. I’m starting to feel like I’m spending too much money and maybe I need to dry out.

    What’s your favorite outdoors idiom/colloquialism?

    In the Great Smokies and surrounding area, there was a logging colloquialism called “ball hoot” or “ball hootin’.” It meant rolling logs downhill. It came to mean anything heading downhill in an uncontrolled fashion. Sort of like “Katie, bar the door” it’s a-comin’ through. I have no idea of...

    Hunt mostly from home so breakfast can be whatever I want. Nuts and jerky in the daypack. John Colter didn’t have gummy bears .

    2023 Colorado Assault Weapons Ban[emoji35]

    Okay, so “The Police” are the New Orleans PD? That’s an organization with no authority outside the City of New Orleans. Do you live in New Orleans? Is your mayor crooked? Who is your chief? Your sheriff? What are their positions? “The Police” is not some homogeneous entity.

    Opportunity for first Elk Hunt in Montana

    Random thoughts: Your .308/165 will do fine. Take the rifle you know. Any quality glass, variable or fixed, up to about 6x will be fine for that caliber/load. You don't need a 16x super sniper scope to get the most out of .308/165 at typical elk hunting distances. Early season tactics and...

    2023 Colorado Assault Weapons Ban[emoji35]

    "The Police." Who are they? I've been a police officer for over 20 years and have never violated anyone's Second Amendment rights. Much less killed them for it. Nor has any officer in my agency during my tenure. Not once.

    2023 Colorado Assault Weapons Ban[emoji35]

    Enforcing an assault weapons ban is mostly optimistic thinking. Few got rid of anything during the Clinton era ban. And the federal ninja were not out kicking doors. At this stage of the American gun ownership, effective enforcement would be verging on logistical impossibility in many areas...

    Wyoming nonresident proposal

    That Wyo was pricing out NRs. And I wrote pricing out the average NR from the special draw.

    Wyoming nonresident proposal

    I can believe Wyoming might be quickly approaching pricing out the average nonresident from the special draw. But that’s not the same as what you wrote. Still, I’d bet those NR special draw tags sell. Because there’s plenty of people who pay to hunt abroad.

    Wyoming nonresident proposal

    Fair enough. But let's be real. Wyoming doesn't want your money. Wyoming just wants money. And the state will probably get it. While this may price out the common man, there are probably those who will pay it. Just like there are those who pay big prices to hunt abroad.
