I loaded up some hammer 138 gr hht in my wife’s 18” 30-06. I’m getting 2900 fps with nominal recoil and tiny groups using varget. I could have pushed them much faster as the load I’m using is on the lower end of the range, but the accuracy and light recoil was what we were after.
A Z3 is what lead me to finding this page. I had one go bad on a Thorofare elk hunt. I got the bull, but not without a long track job and sleepless night. I hit it way far from where I was aiming and the scope was off the paper when I returned home and went to the range. Swarovski replaced the...
Ricketts Glenn State Park is about 1.5 hours west of where you’re staying. It has 22 waterfalls and a nice trail system that you can hike to see them. It’s a bit more scenic than the Poconos.
33 years for moose in Maine. I think it’s probably the same for Montana sheep as well. I’ve never drawn a tag that I wasn’t in the preference point pool. Kind of sobering really when you think about nonresident draw odds.

I hunted with Constant Quest in’21 and had a great hunt. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. I’m also booked with Yellowstone in ‘27. My research told me they were the two best choices. CQ comes in from the east and hunts the upper Thorofare and Yellowstone comes from the south and hunts the...
I have a kubota L3800 that I use to maintain a similar sized property in PA. I looked at JD but the kubota was a much better buy cost wise. I’ve had it for 10 years and don’t regret going orange.
I like the CZ. I have a 20 ga o/u and a 28 ga sXs. I don’t use them unless I’m hunting over a dog, but I have no complaints. I prefer an auto loader for most of my shotgun shooting.
In 2018 I saw the writing on the wall and switched from applying in the bighorns to western wy. I don’t regret it one bit and I suggest everyone consider how and where they spend their money. I justify applying for limited licenses as my contribution fund’s conservation, but I like to think I...
