Anybody on here shoot a Woodman Arms Patriot muzzleloader or even handled one ??? I’ve never run across one anywhere…..lifetime accuracy and craftsmanship warranty must mean they are a quality outfit ! Look interesting to me……

Looking for a new whitetail destination. With the mule deer hunting at what seems like an all time low all over the west I’m looking for new ideas ? I’ve hunted whitetail in Wyoming, South Dakota, Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska and Missouri so far. Looking for somewhere different, and definitely a rifle...

I’ve got a real good friend from way back that wants a good mule deer some day. He’s hunted with me at our old place in Wyoming for both antelope and muleys, just never sealed the deal on a mule deer. Long story short as of early this fall he’s now in a chair, not sure that will ever change. I...

Well it’s been a tough season for us, early muzzy season with my better half…….nothing ! Archery…….. nothing ! Landowner tags……… nothing ! Utah I don’t even want to discuss, but nothing ! Nebraska……. nothing ! But hey I guess that’s how things sometimes go in the hunting world ! Could have...

Well I figured I’d post some pictures of my Nebraska late season hunt, it’s not over yet by any means but with blue bird sky’s, no snow and temps in the mid 50’s climbing to mid 60’s by the end of the week things are pretty dang slow ……. First place I hunted was the Sandhills, first buck I laid...

Someday I’d like to hunt Blacktail with the kids, don’t know much about it but what I’ve read here and there. Whitetails I’m bored with, and I’m real tired of hunting mule deer that no longer exist in decent numbers anywhere I’ve been the last few years. Would a B zone hunt be doable for an...

Anybody have any expirience with CVAs Accura LRX or MRX 45 cal rifles ??? Looking for something different to add to my muzzleloader collection. Will they shoot to 300 yds accurately ? I’m looking at one strictly for deer hunting hence the 45. I’m not sure which model would be better ? Any...

Looking to do an eastern plains Colorado deer hunt in the future. I’ve gotta bunch of muzzleloaders but this is the only one with Colorado legal sights. I’ve always used it for close range hunting with Barnes 250 gr. bullets ……. but those aren’t legal in Colorado. Any suggestions on what to try...

Just purchased a new Weatherby Mark V Hunter in 300 winny with a 26 in barrel. Anybody on here shoot one of these ? Looking for some load ideas for elk ? Haven’t hunted them in many years nor have I loaded any 300’s in many years. Last elk I killed was in 97 with my old Winchester Laredo……. and...

I’m curious if this year is a special occasion or if the mass chaos I’m seeing in Utah is normal day before season behavior ……… ? Wow !!! I guess I wasn’t expecting all this, I think everybody is tearing around the forest, there girlfriends, wives, ex wives, grandmothers, dogs, cats, donkeys...

I finally located a 25, not my first choice but a new Winchester featherweight. I had a Tikka ordered with a 24 in barrel for almost 2 years and was told they might not make any more in that caliber. This winny only has a 22 in barrel. I’ve been shooting 2 different loads, a 100 gr Barnes TTSX...

Rough copy of one of my sons senior pictures…….there’s an antelope mount missing that isn’t done yet but dang…… the memories hanging there !!!!

How many of you still hunt with a wood stock rifle now days ? Any accuracy issues with them ? Seems almost everything is made out of everything other than wood in todays world ! My new Winchester Featherweight 25-06 came in last week and the kid at the gun shop about puked when we opened the box...

Been out in Region A all week looking things over after this last winter deal. It’s pretty depressing in most all the areas that I hunt. I’ve seen 1 live whitetail fawn, in town. I’ve only seen 1 muley fawn, and 1 antelope fawn. All in all it’s worse than I previously thought. I have however...

Well out of my better judgement I grabbed a late season muzzeloader tag for Nebraska here a few days ago. I’ve hunted Pine Ridge enough times to know what’s what in that area but now days it’s in a mule deer conservation area so off limits ……. I’m kinda torn between about 3 different areas...

I have a brand new Kuiu Pro Suspension in L/XL and a used once 2300 bag for sale. I’m asking $225 out of the pair, I’ll ship on my dime. Nothing wrong with either, I just plain don’t like it !

If you only had one chance to scout for an end of October mule deer hunt when would you go ??? Drew an area we’ve never set foot in and my son and I seem to disagree when to go look !

Well I decided to burn the Wyoming Antelope points this fall and it worked out perfect. My son took this buck , his first , at about 9 am opening morning. After a short stalk he took him out of a group of 4 bucks together at 368 yards with his 243 winny ! I tagged out later the same day with a...

Some might remember this buck I posted on here from western Nebraska rifle season a couple back. No monster but my sons first muley finally on the wall ! Took a chance on a different taxidermist and wow quite impressed ! Really unique dark cape on this guy !

Well I wasn’t gonna post anything from our failed Nebraska muzzleloader hunt but it might just shed some light on a pretty bad situation. We headed out the second week of season , had some snow , had some cold , everything you want in a late season hunt. We hunted both the Sandhills and Pine...

Against my better judgement , as of now , my son talked me into ordering a new stainless Tikka in 25-06. I like the idea of the 25 but I’ve never been around a Tikka other than a little 17 Hmr my son shoots. Decent gun for the money ? Are they typically accurate ? And one more question I have is...

Well we finally got what we needed to get the late season game at its best ! Yesterday we got hammered with snow , little bit of wind , sleet , freezing rain , the whole she bang !!! This morning we woke up to temps in the 10 below range but calm and partly cloudy .... perfect weather ! We...

Im looking for some 25-06 Brass , seems to be about non existent ! Thanks

Well , I couldn’t shoot a muley anywhere this season if you tied him to a tree for me but the whitey game has been going well. We’re bone dry , not an ounce of snow on the ground and windy as all get out ! I generally don’t start till the ground is white and the temps hit rock bottom but I had...

Finally let an arrow fly ! I haven’t had much time to hunt lately but this afternoon I strapped on my lone wolf climber and headed out ! I went in pretty early today , set up my doe decoy and climbed way up a pretty good sized tree. It was pretty slow till the last hour , first a few does then a...

Well here we go again ..... The “lucky one” one upped me once again but I couldn’t be happier. Spotted this buck alone so he crawled in close as he could get , set up a Montana whitetail doe decoy , slipped back and let the rattling antlers fly ! The buck took the bait hook line and sinker ...

Well as much as I hate to admit it , the kids and I will be returning to Nebraska again this year. I rolled the dice on our usual Wyoming areas as second choice to keep our points and lost ! No deer tag , no goat tag ! So the boys talked me into late muzzleloader tags for Nebraska. This is the...

Every once in a while I’ll just up and do a good deed for someone , mostly to make myself feel better about something bad I’ve done ! Well I loaded up 200 rounds of 270’s for a friend and he doesn’t want them ! Mad because he didn’t draw a tag , said ahhh I think I’ve got plenty. Brand new...

This ol boy got lucky last year , I forgot to put powder in my sons muzzleloader !!!! Wooops ! But he’s back in the area.

I've got a Winchester model 70 in 243 that I believe is in need of a barrel. I’m thinking along the lines of 24 inch 8 twist ? My questions are , is it worth going to a 26 in. barrel and what grain bullets would the 8 twist do best with ? I hunt with this particular gun quite a bit , shooting...

Well here we go again , my son smacked a big boy tonight. Buck came out with a group of deer to feed and presented a great shot. Very old heavy heavy buck , 25 inch main beams , almost 6 inches at the bases ! I hate to admit it but I cost him one almost as good on Friday ...... I forgot to put...

Late season muzzleloader opened a few days ago , weathers been mild to say the least , no snow ! That is until yesterday , a major cold front came in with a skiff of white and took the temperatures to below the bottom ! Actual temp was -13 with a north / northwest wind 25 gusting to 29 mph...

Well now that we are back to the Whitetail game once again , I got pretty lucky. Usually it’s the kids , but this time it was my turn. We watched this buck many times last year , took many pictures of him on our old home farm. I blame it on the kids , sneaking around all the time trying to take...

Anything that starts with Willie and Waylon must be good !?!?! Right ?

Well , the rut is sure starting to pick up around here ! Just a few daylight pictures of some bucks that have been dodging myself and the boys ...... so far !!! We’ve got 12 more days before we change gears and head west again , hopefully one will screw up !

Well the kids finally connected on a couple whiteys in the beans ! Pretty decent bucks from the north Iowa farm. Good luck to everyone this season !

It’s been a hot and dry summer so far but we’ve been sneaking out early and late doing some fishing. Just a few catches to share.

Anybody out there load any 80 gr Barnes in a 243 ? I’ve shot a 243 for over 30 years and loaded for one for at least 25 yrs but I’ve never shot any 80 gr bullets. Either loaded 60 gr hp’s or 100 gr’s. Looking for powder ideas ? I’ve got 3 Win 70s with just factory 22 inch barrels if that helps.
