Any changes from the draft regulations they released at the commission meeting yesterday and today?

I currently own 10x42 SLC's (HD) and I'm wondering if the jump to the 10x50 EL's is worth it at their current "sale" price"? Better edge clarity and light gathering is what I assume I'd gain but I know there's folks on here that have forgotten more than I'll ever know about optics so just...

I'm doing some e-scouting on unit 70 and my onX shows a Bray Ranches SWA in the southcentral portion of the unit but it's not shaded the same color green as the other SWA's and also not listed on the CPW's SWA map? Can anybody tell me if this is a legitimate SWA? A quick Google search shows...

Hey all, I'm curious to hear what everybody observed during the muzzy season in their area? No units but if folks could give the general area of the state, what they were hunting and what they saw for numbers and quality compared to years past or research/expectations.

They're up boys!

Word on the street is that apps were up 35k this year in CO. Not sure how that's available already but that's just what I heard this morning?‍♂️.

Pretty quiet around here being the draw closed last night? Everybody feel gun shy after the horrible decision to reopen the draw in '21? Iknow I am and I know just based off the info on this site that I failed to draw 67, 2nd season because of the folks that revealed how many points they...

Had a tough but great hunt in Iowa this year. Deer numbers and quality were down overall but me and my brother found a couple good ones. I killed a 150” in MN (my personal best) and then to follow that up with a 147” in Iowa is just something that still hasn’t fully sunk in, what a season!

I found 8 acres of private to hunt in my home state of MN and found a good one to put my tag on. After seeing the post about no kill posts, I thought I'd share this buck with my fellow whitetail hunters on this mule deer site;).

We had an incredible trip to WY this year for antelope. We even snuck some fishing in. I will come back to WY as long they let me come, very grateful for the trips I've got to make there over the years!

Hello, We drew antelope tags in unit 75 and currently have a place reserved in Thermopolis in hopes of turning this trip into a surf and turf adventure. With the primary focus on filling our goat tags and based on the sheer size of unit 75 I'm wondering if Thermopolis is too far away to...

Does anybody happen to know the size of the nut that holds the stock on a Super X2? My son is using it for his school trap season and it has been jamming more and more. I cleaned everything except the recoil spring but I don't have the right socket to get that damn nut off under the recoil...

Drew a 1st season elk tag this year and the unit offers OTC bear for $101.75 which seems like a no brainer to me but I've never hunted bear and have seen a handful in my 2nd season hunts. What is different from 1st season to 2nd season and would you buy the tag if it was you? Thanks for any...

If your reloads are most accurate longer than mag length you can still just load 1 down as the next one to come in the chamber "floats" above the actual mag box? People always talk about single shots if loaded longer than mag length but unless my rifles are different than everybody else's I...

What do you guys think this buck will score and how would you score that right side? Does he have a G3 on the right side or does his G2 have a huge extra/sticker?

Gentleman, I ordered a couple sample packs of Bergers in 130 and 140 grain VLD Hunting and I have run into an issue. While tinkering around with seating depth in my dummy case I realized the bullet tips seem to be hitting something between the magazine and the chamber? This happens regardless...

Just purchased a Remington 700 SPS in 260 Rem with a 1:8 twist and a 24" barrel. This gun will be primarily be set up for antelope and deer. I have a .338 RUM that shoots the 225 grain Accubond sub moa so I have the big stuff covered. I want a gun that's a little more fun to shoot and tote...

LAST EDITED ON Mar-09-15 AT 06:22PM (MST)[p]Gentleman, I have a real dilemma here. I have been doing the shoot clean, shoot clean break-in method on a brand new Browning X-bolt chambered in 270 Win. On shot number 10 I noticed the bolt release button (unique to the X-bolt) never came back up...

Hey guys, I have a new 270 win. X bolt and I had previously posted about powder and bullet selections with some great feedback. I have decided to start with the 140 grain Accubond and H4831sc and H1000 for powders. The gun has a 22" barrel, not sure how much that affects things, and my...

Gentleman, I am wondering if anybody is running the 140 grain Accubond in their 270 Win.? I just picked up a pretty little Browning X-bolt Hunter with a 22" barrel and really want to make a go of this bullet. It doesn't take much looking around to see H4350 and H4831 pop up as very good...

Starting to keep my eye open for a 30-30. I live in Minnesota and hunt the northern part of the state for whitetail where we will make deer drives on occasion. I really want an unscoped Winchester model 94 for my brush gun but I'm wondering what you guys would pay and look for if you were in...

Had an absolute blast on our first antelope hunt. Very tough animals to field judge but we will try to be more picky next time around. Here is my buck. He has a small third horn on the bridge of his nose, anybody ever see that before? My buddy's buck. My brother's buck. "If a nation...

I have a 2012 Tundra and I read in the owners manual that I'm not supposed to chain the front axle. After looking I see it is probably due to the clearance between the inside of the tire and the upper suspension control arm. I have noticed that most, if not all half tons now have this...

Heading out near Casper in the middle of September for my first antelope hunt and I am just wondering how the horn growth is looking this year? "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free... it expects what never has and never will be." -Thomas Jefferson

Been researching and driving trucks and I was impressed with the Tundra before the test drive and even more so after. Who's driving one and what can you tell me about it, good or bad? The only other truck I would consider is the Ecoboost but I just don't trust the direct injection yet. Any...

When are the draw odds normally updated? "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free... it expects what never has and never will be." -Thomas Jefferson

The unit I applied for had 21 tags in the refular draw and 15 in the special? Is that the normal percentage or could someone tell me what the normal percentages are? "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free... it expects what never has and never will be." -Thomas Jefferson

Anybody receive their leftover list yet? "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free... it expects what never has and never will be." -Thomas Jefferson

I had a buckle break on my X2 pack this fall and I was wondering if you guys think this is some Eberlestock will replace? All I was doing was cinching up the straps after putting my spotter and tripod away for the hike out. I love this pack but I need to get this buckle so I can properly cinch...

LAST EDITED ON May-16-11 AT 08:47PM (MST)[p]I was just wondering if anyone has compared the 4x12 viper and diamondback and if so is it worth spending the extra money for the viper? "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free... it expects what never has and never will be." -Thomas Jefferson

I have been looking for a thumbhole stock and really like the looks of the Boyds laminate and the Bell & Carlson in the Natural gear camo. With price being the obvious difference does anybody have any insight or reason why they would go with one over the other. The Boyds is a laminate stock...

A few of my buddies and me partial re-size for most of our guns. I have noticed on some of them that when bumping the shoulder back about .005" compared to a fired casing only part of the neck is being re-sized also. Some of these are half or less and we dont crimp any loads or buy bullets...

I recently purchased a used 25-06 Remington 700 BDL. I checked the distance out to the rifling and found that it was .003" shorter than what the Nosler book listed as the maximum O.A.L. Is this normal? "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free... it expects what never has and never will...

We bought a used 14'x17' wall tent a few years ago. Its been a great tent but the guy that owned it before us used something to waterproof it that makes the tent stick to itself when it's put in the bag. It also seems the tent has shrunk some over time so I am going to set it up and cut the...

I had a friend just call me and he said he went in the back door to check the status of his elk tag. He said he has a 591, does this mean he drew and is it possible for the back door results to be here this early? "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free... it expects what never has and...

If you put in for the draw in Wyoming and draw your second choice on a deer hunt do you gain another point like in Colorado or do you just keep the points you had coming into the draw. Dumb question I'm sure but any feedback would be greatly appreciated. "If a nation expects to be ignorant and...

Has anybody owned a pair of the Cabela's Winter 800 Hunitng boot's by Meindl? If so what were the pros and cons? "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free... it expects what never has and never will be." -Thomas Jefferson
