Took this billy after 4 days of hiking the mountains - we were on Plan C when it all came together. Adventure of a lifetime! http://www.monstermuleys.info/photos/user_photos_2018/95739c084cbad282743fb97089c8fe01bc6fa.jpeg

Will have wonderful memories of beautiful country, new friends, and a great adventure every time I look at him. Dewayne Dewey Studio did the work. http://www.monstermuleys.info/photos/user_photos_2018/684668726bd5e39bf4be48ce6c43f557f7096.jpeg

Hey guys haven't been on here in awhile but wanted to share this photo of my AZ Unit 43B ram taken back in December. Couldn't believe I drew a NR tag with 13 points and couldn't be happier with this ram. An old broomed bruiser with 15 1/2" bases. Unofficially scored in the low 160s. Taken on the...

In an apparent swipe at LeBron,Ohio governor John Kasich has issued a proclamation that all Dallas Maverick fans are now honorary citizens of Ohio. Am I supposed to start talking fast and drink hot tea instead of iced tea now? Can I buy a resident Ohio hunting license?

Start tonight. Can the Mavs beat the Heat? Who ya rootin' for?

LAST EDITED ON Apr-01-11 AT 07:25AM (MST)[p]I am a pretty small guy and not particularly athletic. But I grew up in the country hunting and shooting. Worked my way up pretty quickly from .22 to .410 to .30-.30 for my first deer at age 7. Now I own several rifles and shoot quite a bit with...

OK guys time for a rifle for my daughter. She has the .243 my Daddy gave me but I think it is time for her to get a "lifetime" rifle. She is 14 and still a little recoil sensitive so I am thinking a 7mm-08 is the ticket. Low recoil yet plenty of punch with a 140 grain bullet @ around 2900 FPS...

Been watching several shows on hunting in Africa and notice that the vast majority of the time on dangerous game the PH IMMEDIATELY follows up the hunter's shot with one of his own and then they both keep shooting until the animal is down. Believe me,I fully understand the safety reasons why...

OK so I'm at the range today zeroing my little .22-250 when two guys take a couple of benches a little ways down from me.Nice guys-proceed to tell me they are going to Wyoming on an elk hunt in a couple of weeks. One guy says he is here to sight in his brand new .300 RUM and proceeds to tack a...

The NRA is strongly considering endorsing Senate Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev) over Republican Tea-Party challenger Sharron Angle in the Nevada Senate race.Their reasoning-if Reid loses yet the Senate retains a Democrat majority the next Senate leader is likely to have a...

Here's a bobcat I took on my farm in east TX last November. Taxidermy done by Lonny Travis in Mulvane,KS-he specializes in cats. If you don't like the setting (shed,leaves,grass,etc.) don't blame Lonny because I wanted to do that myself-I am still messing with it. I was really happy with how he...

Watching Ben Crane,Marc Leishman,Michael Sim, and Rickie Fowler fight it out at Riviera is just one step above watching paint dry. Come on back Tiger...you gotta face all the stupid questions sometime so why not just get it over with and get back between the ropes where you belong. Please?

Took my little Nosler 48 .270 WSM whitetail hunting on my farm. At about 7 A.M. in a misting rain one of the best bucks I have seen on the property stepped out of the woods at 290 yards-he checked the field and turned broadside to enter an adjacent woodline about 5 steps away. No time for alot...

OK guys it is time for a new pack and I have narrowed it down to 3 and would appreciate any input from the MM'ers. I am not going to be hauling more than 60 lbs. or so and a 3 day bivy will be my limit. My choices (and specific questions) are: 1)Eberlestock J107- I like its fit and the...

Took my new Nosler 48 .270 WSM to the range yesterday. The results were above my wildest expectations.I had previously broken in the barrel and sighted it in with Nosler 140 gr. Accubonds. It still printed them in a 3/4" group exactly 3" high. So I tried 130 gr. TSX's. Result:a one inch group...

OK Game Warden in Kentucky sees a Redneck in the woods walking around in his overalls. He has a sack with several squirrel tails hanging out of it but he is not carrying a gun. Warden decides to follow him awhile. Redneck walks up to a tree, looks up, squinches up his face, and a squirrel falls...

Guys- I have an Olympus SW 720 waterproof/shockproof camera and now see they have a 10 MP SW 1030. Is the difference between 7 and 10 MP worth the upgrade? (I do submit articles on my hunts now and then and have had one published.) Thanks for any thoughts/advise, Clay

I am not feeling good today so thought I would post on one of my real concerns based on what I see on here,on other sites, and in magazines: too much talk of long range (500 yards plus) shots at big game. Seems like MANY people are taking them but I know in my gut VERY FEW people should be...

Ok guys I now have my 3 points so this is the first year I will actually have a chance to draw a tag in CO. Please tell me the best 2 or 3 units. Thanks! Clay

What gear would you put in?(Good when it came out and still good now.)I'll start: Clothes 1)Smartwool socks; 2)Patagonia Capilene base layers; and 3)Stormy Kromer hat. Equipment 1)Petzl headlights; 2)Leatherman multitool; and 3)Wyoming bone saw.

"Hello.My name is Clay and I am a gearaholic." With that confession I admit I am looking forward to Sitka's new 2009 lineup. BUT, in all my trial and error over many years I have learned a couple of things: 1)Most of the time the best gear never changes-it was a good idea to start with and...

Going to pick up some 100 grain .243 cartridges for coyotes at my local Gander Mountain--they were out. Ok, so I will order some online----but BOTH Cabelas and Midway USA out too! I thought the ammo shortages were about over.Am I missing something?

My pet peeve is the guys in the Olympics who don't push to the end of their races. Bolt coasted to a world record in the 100 meters by showboating at the end. A Cuban hurdler just did the same thing in the 110 meter hurdles. Can't they just give it their all for the final fraction of a second...

Guys- Am reading a book called "Rifle Bullets For The Hunter" by several well-known gun writers (Barsness,Boddington,Spomer, Towsley,Mann & Haviland). I am really learning alot. A few good points: 1)There is no one bullet for every situation so don't look for it. The use the bullet is to...

Took a beautiful Fannin ram in the Yukon in 2006 with plans to go back for a Dall in 2009 or 2010. But looks like my plans may have to change. The same hunt I took went from $14000 in 2006 to $21000 in 2009(and add-on trophy fee for moose increased from $2500 to $5000). I assume increased...

I LOVE Winchester Pre 64's. I took my Pre 64 .300 Win Mag on a sheep hunt last year. It weighs 9 1/2 lbs with the scope. This was contrary to EVERY sheep gun article I have ever read- but my thinking was an extra 1 1/2 to 2 lbs was not that big of a deal considering my pack alone weighed in at...
