I am wondering if anyone knows if any state will allow say a two year old to start putting in for bonus points. With the amount of hunters today and the years it might take to draw tags I was just thinking it would be nice to start getting some points for my son.

I am headed to unit 51 next week with an archery tag and had a couple questions if anyone would care to share. After not drawing anything this year and seeing that 051 had leftover tags I figured why not try to learn a new area. After reading some other posts and looking at maps I am planning on...

Thanks for the tips. I have been using all brand new brass right now and when I got it I full length resized and chamferred the inside and out of the case mouth. I did this a couple months ago to prep before I got my rifle back from the smith. Should I have re-applied some lube to the inside of...

Thanks right now I am loading nosler accubonds using the Forester die with the micro head adjustment. Would that die be contacting the point first.

I just started reloading this year and have done a ton of research but I keep running into a problem. Each bullet I make I am getting a different length to the bullet ogive. I touch nothing on the press or die but keep getting a spread of about .005. Am I missing something? Thanks

I was looking online but couldn't find an answer to my question. I saw that youth need to be 12 before big game hunting but my question is can you start putting in points for youth before then?

Thank you for being a helpful person, the world could use more. Do you mean 171-173 when you say are 17?

Take Wt Bobby.

So why are there so many hunts that show 0 points required for both? I really do like the new atlas feature they have and have started to look at it more but its so hard just to pick a unit simply by looking at maps.

Wow thanks I was really trying to figure out why I could not find them. So do all those units really take 0 points? Right now I really would like high country wilderness type hunts to get away from cars. I still have legs that carry me pretty good. I like open areas where I can spot and stalk...

This year I have decided to add colorado to my list of places to apply. I have always wanted to hunt there just time and money has been short. I now have the means that I think I can come every 2-3 years. So I have just a few questions. I have spent two nights on the CO website and reading the...

Well I know Polaris is out. I used to maintain 6 for my last job and were constantly taking them into the shop. I had some expenses come and didn't make as much money so hopefully I can pull the trigger next summer when car is paid off.

Nice buck where you in the wilderness? I had the early rifle tag last year and had a blast.

Oh tempting on a archery tag but don't know if I can talk a wife with a due date on aug 17 to let me go for a week with a newborn and don't want to burn points next year.

With two 300wsm that I have had I have noticed a slight gouge or mark on the casing from working it into the chamber and back out. Is this from the steeper ramp and other people are seeing it or is it something I need to have looked at or could fix myself?

When do the leftover tags usally come out.

Nothing. Oh well kid coming in Aug will give me time at home.

Well I found and pulled the trigger on a m70 extreme weather in 300wsm. Can't wait for my ten days and go out and shoot it some.

I am looking at getting into reloading and am looking at a couple kits and would like some input. I am looking at the Rcbs master supreme and explorer plus kits. The explorer might have a couple more things but the main difference it seams is that it has a digital scale over a beam scale. Any...

To each his own the stock is one of the reasons I like that rifle.

Nice kill George. I was luck enough to take one with my bow in Ky before I left there. I really need to get out in the fall and do some scouting to find some places. I did hunt around that Ruth lake a couple years ago but never heard or saw one. I did find an old grow there and that did raise...

Yeah I think I am going to have to swallow a patient pill and save up and build on one later. I just saw a bow for sale that looks real nice but I said three years for a new one it's just oh so hard to wait. Come on powerball tonight.

Yeah that's why I'm leaning towards just buying the Winchester now in the 300 and working it up later but if it shoots like my 270 win I might not ever touch it. So does anyone have anything to change my mind from 300 to 7mm before I pull the trigger.

How did your 270 shoot stock? I already own a 270 just looking for something a little bigger. Right now I'm leaning towards the 300 wsm in that Winchester. I'd like a custom gun but don't think I can justify the cost right now even though if I work on the Winchester later ill probably end up...

So when everyone says semi custom that pretty much means new stock barrel maybe some trigger work?

I have kept my eye open for the past 6 months and havent been able to see any that wasnt already the price of a new custom. I am looking at the 7mm mag and the 300 mag.

I am leaning towards getting the winchester if I can find one. I do hate the fact of waiting to get work done on things but I know I have to be patient. Plus there arent really any gunsmiths in my area and it takes so long to get stuff sent off.

So I have been talking to a gun smith and can get a custom rifle built for around 2500. I have also been looking at the Winchester m70 extreme weather rifle 1100 and have heard good things about it. It is quite a bit of difference in price the custom would take some paychecks to get paid. So is...

Can you transfer pionts? How much?

LAST EDITED ON Apr-23-13 AT 00:25AM (MST)[p]Got to start somewhere.

How do you end up with the weighted points?

Can I build some points then for a limited area for elk or mule deer before I get my combo tag in a couple years?

I was looking at the co website for a couple hours and with elk and deer I understand how the points work for units but reading the sheep stats I got a little lost. It said all the units only took 3 points to draw and when I looked at another page it had listed another column of weighted points...

LAST EDITED ON Apr-08-13 AT 09:14PM (MST)[p]No unfortunately the small shop in town doesn't carry many guns and whatever you do want now takes some time to get in. I've had a buckmark on order for a couple months now. I might wait til I head to cabelas at some point and see if they have any. I...

I am leaning heavily to the extreme weather Winchester in 300 but have still been looking at the weatherbys. I just haven't been able to get my hands on one to fill. I also don't get why the vanguard 2 carry the sub moa guarantee and the more expensive mark v don't. I also don't get how they bed...

How much heavier are the long range hunters to carry around? If I can get similair accuracy out of something slightly less weight Id like to go that way but if its worth it ill carry it.

I have also been looking at some of the savages and now really at the weatherby vanguard 2 in stainless and the backcountry ones with sub moa guarantee. Die at seem to bad just have never shot a weatherby. With the dropped comb I'm curious to how they fit.

Yeah I know people that have them like the Polaris but we had four at my old job and they were just awful. Granted we used them hard but every year they were racking up a ton in repairs so I've had a bad taste since about them.

Yeah I'm just wanting a good shooter till down the road I can put some money into one. I'm hoping if I can get a nice rifle around 1000 ish and can get into making some loads ill have time to save up for a nice custom job.

I have a m70 .270 I bought when I was 12 that shoots way better than the remington I just got last year. I have also heard good things from people with the new ones. They are bedded and free floated while the cheapest remington I bought has none. I have looked into upgrading the gun but all the...
