    Leupold 15x56 BX-5 Binoculars

    I am getting ready for a elk trip to WY this fall and wanted to get some binoculars with a little bit more magnification than the 10x42 I have now. I know that the Swaro's are the fan favorite along with the Zeiss. I was just looking for something a with a little more reach to use while glassing...

    Commanche Wilderness Outfitters Drop Camp Hunts

    No. Not for that hunt. My deer hunt guide is also one of Scotts elk guide up in the wilderness area. He said those hunts are at 12000 feet and really a physical hunt. So he really didn't recommend that hunt for someone 80 years old. Or for the most part some on much over 50. So I and talking to...

    Commanche Wilderness Outfitters Drop Camp Hunts

    27 wide. Guide did a rough score around 170". I told him I just wanted a good buck with curb appeal. Chasing numbers tends to leave you disappointment.

    Rough Country Outfitters

    Anyone had any issues getting in contact with this outfitter. I have a 2024 elk hunt booked with them. And have been trying to get in touch with Jim. But I have left several messages on voicemail. Along with emails with no response.

    Commanche Wilderness Outfitters Drop Camp Hunts

    Just wrapped up my Eastern Plains hunt with Commanche Wilderness Outfitters. Had an awesome time . My guide was first class and hard working. He never rested in trying to find me and the other hunter a quality animal. Hunting was a little tough. The weather was quite warm and the wind blew...

    Got my Bang Stick back and need Ammmmooo!

    I have bought quite a bit of ammo. of of Gunbroker. Also several guns. Never had a problem with any transaction. With that said. If you are looking for a bargain you might not find one. But you ca usually find what you need. The killer with most things you buy is the shipping. So take that into...

    Unit 101 Mule Deer Tag

    Thanks buddy. I guess I should have checked that first instead of the website. If you are out that way sometime and see a shooter. Will you hide him behind a rock for me.

    Unit 101 Mule Deer Tag

    I drew a late rifle mule deer tag in unit 101. Will be hunting with Commanche Wilderness Outfitters. I know he has a pretty good track record for good mule deer. Just wondering when the tags should be mailed or received.

    Mcmillan Stocks Delays

    I am having a custom rifle build and was wanting to get a Mcmillan stock for it. The gun shop said it could take up to 6 months to get the stock. So I said no problem. That was back in February. Well it's now November an still nothing. I know there are shipping delays but I don't think that...

    Best Map APP

    I have been looking at the different map Apps available lately. The 3 that seem to get the most air time is ONXMAPS. BASEMAP and HUNTSTAND. I used the older HuntGPS chip in a Garmin GPS about 10 years ago and it seemed pretty good. I guess they are ONXMAPS now. Any fellow hunters have a...

    How humidity and altitude affect bullet trajectory

    Just got done shooting a little today out to 400 yards. The weather conditions were on the humid side since we had rain today in NC. My bullet seemed to be a little low on the target compared to when I got my scope yardage settings. It was clear and sunny that day with a lot lower humidity...

    Vortex Scope Slips InRings

    Probably good advice. I also have a Weatherby Vanguard First Lite in 300WBY. using Talley light weight one piece rings. No issues. Just doesn't make a lot of sense. Both guns have brakes so recoil isn't an issue.

    Vortex Scope Slips InRings

    Vortex only recommends 18 in/lbs. talked to a guy at Vortex he said to go up to 20 in/lbs. I guess their scopes are sensitive to the amount of torque they can take and still track correctly. Have read a few posts other places about putting rosin or liquid electrical tape in the rings. Anyone...

    Vortex Scope Slips InRings

    I really need some guidance on this problem. I have a Vortex Viper PST Gen 2 5x25x50 30mm scope mounted with Talley Steel rings on a Weatherby MKV 300 WBY mag. The first go round I had the scope leveled and torqued to Vortex specs. 18in/lbs. bore sighted scope and went to sight in. After about...

    Commanche Wilderness Outfitters Drop Camp Hunts

    Fellow hunters, after many years of prodding I have finally got my 80 year old dad to consider going on an elk hunt. He said he would like to do a drop camp if possible. I don't know much about Colorado. But I do know the area where Commanche Wilderness hunts because I went to a dude ranch on...

    New Mexico Unit 34 vs Unit 36

    Fellow hunters I have been talking to Compass West Outfitters about a private ranch elk hunt next year. I found they have landowner tags for both units. Just wondering if anyone has an opinion on whether one unit is better than the other. Hoping for a bull in the 300" class, with any luck maybe...
