    CVA Accura LRX or MRX ?

    TC Encore with a preferred rifle barrel shooting a 300 grain prefitted bullet. Arrow head rifles also puts them together. This muzzleloader of mine shoots better groups then a lot of my rifles and shoots out past 500 yards pretty well.

    WILL YOU??? HAVE YOU??? WILL YOU NOT??? SELF REGULATE???

    Who's going to make the bumper stickers ? I'm a Self Regulated hunter . " SR Hunter " Maybe being a Lifetimer and getting a tag every year helps. The last tags I have used was mentoring my daughter when she couldn't draw a tag on her first time putting in for the draw. Maybe it's being older...

    elk question

    Fish lake was a disaster last year ! With someone on max points I don't think it should even be on the list. Beaver, Dutton, Boulder. San Juan and Monroe still seem to be producing some good bulls. But nothing like it was in the past. Just draw a good unit and have a enjoyable hunt !! Maybe...

    THERE'S TALK OF A LL COMMITTEE???

    In one of the online meetings with the DNR. One of the gals had a chart with the ages and number of life time license holders. Can anyone find that or have access to that ? Most of us Lifetime license holders are old and dyeing off . But there were a few younger guys on the list.

    So whats everyone going to do in utah 1x muzzleloader rule??

    Well my long range muzzle loader won't work well with a one power scope. I guess it's going to have to be a 1500 dollar adjustable peep sight. It's still not going to help my old eyes to focus. Almost hate to take apart that muzzle loader. It shoots better then some of my rifles.

    ANYBODY KNOW THESE HUNTERS???

    I guess the hunter Jamie. The two boys are her brothers helping out little sister. Hunter the baldish one and Dallin that posted the video with the mullet. It sounds like she was shooting a 300 Prc built by Boring rifles in Beaver Utah. They all are young in their twenty’s . I don’t think I...

    2Lumpy Don’t think for a minute I always sleep in my canvass cutter. But it is pretty comfortable. But you know where I usually lay my head when I am on the mountain!

    Sleeping in a Pickup

    I just take my Canvass cutter with me every where I go. It is water proof with it in the back of my truck or sleeping . It has my pillow sleeping bag, sheet on my mattress and pole system all rolled up together. At my brother in laws house or rolled out in the forest it works great. Here is the...

    Recoil Pad Suggestions?

    I have one of these on a trap gun. Its like having a mountain bike shock on your stock. If you rally want to do something about recoil. This is really for a trap gun shooting over 100 rounds a round . But it works ! https://jsaircushion.com/

    Rifle actions

    One of my best shooting factory guns is my Tikka . I have custom guns built on a 700 action. But that is a good starting point for a gun smith. But with modern machining you can just buy a custom action ready to go. Like a Defiance AnTi X but their are many out there .

    375 Weatherby Barnes 270 gr TSX load help

    I loaded my 338 win mag for years with Barnes bullets. I used to load the old X bullets which I think you are talking about. Then to the blue coated bullets that increased velocity a little and helped with copper fowling. But Barnes stopped selling the blue coated bullet because the new X...

    Now with the Utah scope ban. I was thinking my muzzle loader maybe legal in other states ?

    But my long ranges muzzle loader is a 45 caliber. If I put a peep sight on it. I think that is still not legal in Colorado . What are the other states laws ? One doesn't allow sabots. Maybe Colorado is only 50 caliber ? Some powders are not allowed? Post up all of the states different laws...

    Hornady Match ELD

    I think the ELD match thicker case helps hold the bullet together better. I have been shooting the 147 gr 6.5 PRC match and the 300 PRC 225 gr match bullets. After talking with the guys at Hornady I think they are thinking the same thing. The extra weight with the bullet only helps with wind...

    300 PRC vs 7 PRC

    For Elk I think a 30 PRC is a better choice. Shooting the heavy weight bullets, I have had several hunters/friends jump on the 7PRC wagon. One that i was with year shot a bull elk at 158 yards broadside and the bullet never exited the body cavity . It needed a second shot to keep it down, He...

    Fishlake elk

    The Mid season elk hunt was ridiculous ! The DWR gave out 80 mid season tags this year compared to 40 last year. Then all of the mid season big bull tag holders brought their buddies with spike tags to hunt with them. I was with a Multi season hunter Thursday and Friday as the all rolled in it...
