    CO unit 10 bull elk

    If I apply for unit 10 this year with 30 non-resident elk points what are my chances of drawing the bull tag? Looks like last year 5 our of 6 non-residents with 30 points drew, so the one that didn't draw will like be in with 31 points this year. What I can't see on the CO P&W website draw odds...

    bushing a firing pin hole in a bolt?

    I have a Rem 700 bolt that could use this treatment. Bushing in a smaller firing pin hole and turning down the firing pin to match the new hole. Gretan Rifles in Rifle CO is recommended for this but he is not taking any new work for the next couple years. Any other quality gunsmiths out there...

    6.5/300 Weatherby

    Who has one? What has your experience been getting it to shoot? Favorite load or bullet? Accuracy? Asking because my son bought one and has been trying to get it to shoot. He has shot about 40 rounds of factory and handloads so far.

    CO licenses??

    Question: So the draw is over, and we know if we drew or didn't. We also had to buy some kind of hunting license to qualify to apply in the drawing. When will the licenses we had to buy be mailed to us? Anyone got theirs yet? I'm not planning on using mine, as my fall season is booked up now...

    Paying Attention!

    This hunting season while hunting deer and elk, I started experiencing an odd burning pain in the middle of my chest. I have not had issue with acid reflux or heartburn. But both of my parents have had open heart surgery and multiple coronary bypasses. Dad is 87 and has 15 stents in the bypasses...

    knight disc muzzleloader, need sight

    I just picked up a slightly used but in fine shape Knight Master Hunter Disc Extreme .50 cal muzzleloader. Only one issue so far. It is missing part of the rear sight, the base is there but the adjustable portion was removed and did not come with the gun. I believe that these are Williams brand...

    Utah LE Elk

    Which LE Elk units that have reasonable chance for seeing 350+ size bulls will have at least 3 non-resident permits for early any weapon season? My partner and I have 11 elk points so we will only likely draw from the random pool of tags. Thanks.

    Wyoming elk - future

    "Landowner Pilot Licenses"?

    For any of you Colorado experts. Can you tell me what these licenses are? And how they are different from a regular license? I see that there are a couple of these available in the elk drawing for unit 1 and unit 10? I have a lot of points but still behind max just enough to keep me out of the...

    Ruger 6.5x284

    In one of the local gun shops I saw a used Ruger in 6.5x284. It appears to be a factory barrel with the correct stamping, warning etc. It is the stainless synthetic model with the skeleton style stock with "Ruger" molded in the butt. I did not know that this was ever offered from the factory...

    For any of you that have been lucky enough to have killed a large adult mature bull, particularly during the rut or just post rut. How was the meat from these trophy bulls when it comes to putting them on the table? Thanks for your replies!

    WA Bull Elk Permit

    I was lucky for a change and drew the "Tucannon A" any bull rifle tag for the late October hunt. One of seven tags available. I want to do this tag justice. It could be the last time I ever draw a any bull tag in my state. I live about a 2 hour drive from the unit so I will be able to scout at...

    #204 E. Okanogan late Whitetail?

    My brother-in-law was supposed to put in for #1034 for his third choice on deer. He typed in #1024 instead. He drew the 3rd choice typo hunt! We have been trying for late mule deer tags for years. If he can't turn it back in, does anyone have advice for this hunt??? Whitetails from Nov. 1 - 18

    Colorado 2008 regulations, did you see?

    They have expanded the 4th season buck opportunities. Most units are showing buck tags for the 4th season. For example unit 61 now has a 4th season buck tag we can apply for. That was not available in 2007. I see that most units are showing 4th season tags that didn't have them last year. I...

    08 Utah LE bull non-res permit numbers?

    Used to be that the proc gave you some idea of how many permits might be drawn (in the past year anyway). Looking at the 2008 there are no permit numbers, not even from 2007, only whether or not there will be a non-res tag for the hunt code. Does anyone know where to find the info? Won't make...

    For Idahoron....

    I have a Lyman 57SML sight headed my way for my TC Hawken, it is a .54 caliber. Right now I'm thinking of putting on the new sight and possibly adding the Globe front sight as well, to the original factory 1-48" twist barrel. I know that I can get a Green Mtn. barrel in .50 w/1-28", but was...

    Rear sight for Hawken?

    I have two TC muzzleloaders, a TC Bl Diamond .50, and a TC Hawken .54. The BL Diamond now has a Williams peep for a rear sight which I really like. The .54 Hawken I got used and the original rear sight is rather loose and wiggles from side to side maybe as much as 1/16?. I have considered having...

    Tikka question

    You MM guys that have Tikka rifles... Are you using the scope rings / mounts that are supplied from the factory or after market products? Weaver now makes a set of bases which could take the Burris Z rings, and Leupold now lists bases for their dovetail rings.
