    I'm starting a custom rifle on a Mauser long action and I'm leaning toward .25-06. What bullets would you suggest for coyotes and bobcats? Thanks for your help.

    FN Questions

    I am looking to start a rifle build, and am starting slow. Today, I sold my coyote rifle (I now use a shotgun and leave the rifle work to my partner), and went to a gun shop to look around. In the used section, I came across a FN 98 sporterized for $295 and I couldn't pass it up. It's stamped...

    Hawkens

    I love my scoped in-line, an Omega, but it is far from primitive. I have decided to make it the gun I use during rifle season, and to get a traditional style muzzleloader for the primitive seasons. In my research, I have found a few that I am interested in, but I would like to hear some opinions...

    Survival needs

    I am planning to go after sitkas and was wondering what all items I should be getting. I'm thinking a Mossberg JIC shotgun loaded with buckshot then slugs, carried on a sling at all times. Plus either a SPOT or SARlink. Any suggestions?

    BLM

    In researching areas to apply for, I came across NMDGF's unit maps. Awesome tool, wish more states had this feature. My question is this, many units have a LOT of BLM land. Can anyone access BLM land, or is it by landowner permission only? I have been told both ways. Here in OK, if you walk on...

    Deer Slam

    I am interested in pursuing a deer slam. I live in Oklahoma, and I have killed a whitetail and a muley. I'm not sure what the muley would be classified as, Rocky Mtn or Desert? It's kinda neither. Not matter, I'm building points in CO, and should be able to draw a good tag in 2012. Now, for...

    Cow Tags?

    LAST EDITED ON Nov-11-10 AT 04:52AM (MST)[p]The draw odds report on here doesn't show the odds/points needed for cow tags, and my computer has some kind of glitch that shuts down the Internet Explorer every time I try to open an Adobe-type file. Could someone please give me an idea of...

    Front sight on Omega

    Can someone please point me in the right direction to find a smaller front sight for my Omega? I would prefer a globe style, but a smaller dot would also suffice. It needs not be fiber-optic. Thanks for the help, Mitch

    I am looking to get into 3 gun shooting, and I would like to hear if anyone has any experience in this area. I have a Ruger 9mm and a pump shotgun, but I still need to get an AR. Any suggestions?

    I'm having trouble getting any of the links to work on the G&F website, so I hope ya'll can help me. Is there an overlap in the bear, mountain lion, and furbearer season in NM? I would like to call for lions, but would also like to be able to take a bear or bobcat if the opportunity presents...

    Weatherby Sub-M.O.A.?

    I'm in the planning stages for a new rifle. I've searched all the manufacturers websites and I'm thinking the Sub MOA looks like what I want. Has anyone tried one? What are your experiences with this particular model, or Weatherby in general? For a handloader, would you suggest the .257 Wby Mag...

    I think I have asked this before, but I cannot find it via the search feature. Could anyone please recommend a desert type unit that is capable of producing a mature muley for a guy that is willing to hunt hard, but has a limited time to do it. I am primarily an archery hunter, but am willing to...

    Traditional vs. Inline

    I'm thinking of buying a front-stuffer. I plan to hunt here, Oklahoma (where there are no restrictions as to optics or bullets), and in Colorado for muleys. Since CO requires open sights and non-sabot bullets, would I gain much from an inline vs a traditional muzzleloader? I know most...

    How many states?

    Unit 34 Question

    I hunted 34 last year for deer and saw a grand total of 1 doe. We tried hiking up No Name Creek just east of Glenwood. Being way too out of shape, we only made it about 4 miles back. It was the roughest place I have ever been. I looked over my topo map and was wondering if there is any way to...

    Lion Calling

    I am looking for a unit where I would have a decent chance to call in a lion. I have heard the SW part of the state would be a good place to start, but I hoped you guys could point me in the right direction. Thanks for the help, Mitch

    I was hoping someone could give me some ideas of which GMU's would be considered desert muley areas.

    Sheep Raffles?

    I have seen the raffles offered by the GSCO and also the Rocky Mtn Bighorn Society on the CO DOW website. Are there any more that I haven't found yet? If a guy was to invest $500-1000 a year, would you have better odds in the long run than just now starting to acquire points. I'm 26 and can just...

    leupold or burris 12X

    Trying to decide on a 12 power binocular for desert muleys and coues. Narrowed it down (mostly due to monetary reasons) to Leupold Olympic and Burris Signature Selects. Have looked through both at 10X, both great glass for the money IMO. Leupold is 1 ounce lighter and bout $100 cheaper, but the...
