    Sub 5.5 lb rifle that comes with adjustable stock in .270?

    Thanks for the tips. I will look into both the Tikka and a 700 option. I had not really thought much about building something up but that seems like maybe the way to go. Cheers

    Sub 5.5 lb rifle that comes with adjustable stock in .270?

    Hi all, I am looking for a very lightweight hunting rifle with an adjustable stock, or perhaps a negative comb, that is threaded to receive a suppressor and chambered in .270. Why .270? It is what I use for most hunts now and I like it. I already have all the stuff for reloading too. I have...

    Colorado releases first 5 wolves

    A bit off topic… but moose are an odd one. The thought here in wyoming was that they didnt live here back in the day, believe it or not. What is clear is their population grew in the area until the 90s then started tanking. Probably a lot of causes together driving this, i dont know the latest...

    Colorado releases first 5 wolves

    Ive got to say I am surprised by how much people on here really hate wolves. I get that they can be problematic, at best. I live in Wyoming. But good grief, we are supposed to be conservationists! To me that means if we removed an animal from the landscape than we ought to put it back wherever...

    Biden Administration imposes lead bans in 8 F&W areas

    This thread is way to long to read the whole thing... but I will put another 2c on the pile for kicks. I switched to copper a few years ago and wont go back to lead. Very good performance. I don't like the idea that I might be killing or hurting a bird that eats the gut pile if I use lead...

    Wolverines now protected under ESA in lower 48

    My understanding is that ideal habitat for wolverines is high and cold... Note also that the same habitat is relevant for other species that are ESA listed as threatened already. I honestly doubt there would be much changes to development plans due to wolverines, at least for a long time...

    Wolverines now protected under ESA in lower 48

    I just read a story relayed in a Barry Lopez essay about a hunter chasing a wolverine on a snow machine (native guy up in Alaska somewhere). The wolverine was always a ridge ahead looking back .... the hunter kept chasing, but ridge after ridge the wolverine stayed ahead. Until the hunter...

    Wolverines now protected under ESA in lower 48

    I think it is a good thing. I suspect that by and large nothing will change in the short term, with the likely exception of more dollars for monitoring, because the existing wolverine habitat in the lower 48 is on protected land. Maybe someday there would be some money for reintroductions, but...

    The#1 issue affecting hunting?

    Just a quick thought regarding the perceived threat on here from liberal folks... I do not question that some of the recent anti-hunting policy has come from people that lean left (this is a fact), but I would urge you all, respectfully, to not throw the baby out with the bathwater. I am liberal...

    The#1 issue affecting hunting?

    Hunting is starting to be perceived as a hobby of conservatives only, which is a sure fire way to get it banned in left-leaning states. Hunter's will need to show that we are conservationists foremost and engaged in a beautiful, traditional activity that has much to recommend it to folks of all...

    Feds want reintro of grizzly's in northern Cascades

    I have somewhat mixed feelings about the North Cascades. My understanding is that bears likely pass through the area now and in the recent past, but densities are super low. I tend to be somewhat wary of reintroductions in areas that are already occupied, albeit sparsely, since it can be costly...

    First Western Hunt, need some help

    Awesome! Best of luck. I did run across one other thing that might be of use to you. There is a new app called Infinite Outdoors run by some guys out of Casper, Wy. It lets landowners put hunt access up for sale through the app, like air bnb. I just logged on out of curiosity and there was some...

    First Western Hunt, need some help

    I live in Wyoming. A couple things, one is that antelope are everywhere on the plains. It was a harsh winter but there are lots of young ones on the ground, so unless this winter is really bad I suspect tag numbers will be up. If you are patient you can find them even in areas crawling with...

    Excluding Hunters/Hunting from Wildlife Management

    I just finished the first episode in this podcast series and I recommend it. There is good reason to pay attention to these guys since they hobnob with the folks that are responsible for governance and policy in many states. they do a good job of portraying the argument that as the role of...

    Lots of interesting thoughts in the podcast so far, though I am just getting started.

    Custom mobility training?

    Hey, does anyone have recommendations for a customized mobility training program? Ideally the program would take into account ones particular strengths and weaknesses, either via self-criticism or maybe via a video call or something. I have been a rock climber for decades and found something...

    Switching to Tennis Shoes / Trail Runners from Mountaineering Boots.

    I like the La Sportiva Boulder X ones best. I've had probably 4 or5 pairs and they are comfy for me and more durable than some other approach shoes.

    Switching to Tennis Shoes / Trail Runners from Mountaineering Boots.

    I've used trail runners a bit, but have come to prefer 'approach' shoes because they are a bit more robust and stick to rock a lot better than trail runners. Approach shoes were designed for climbers that need to scramble around to get to the base of a climb, so they are great for mountain...
